The LDS church is very wrong in their idea of who God is. Investigate their fearless leader and who he was and you'll easily see why. Investigate Jesus and who He was and you'll see the difference.
Your previous answer goes on and on as well, as spiritually the lds fails in their attempt to define themselves as "christians".

They define themselves as such, not the Bible.

Good people, but Christianity in their belief - don't think so.

Let the Bible do the talking.

How does that do anything to answer Libby's questions? She asked what Mormons believe, not if they are right.

What they (Mormons) believe, in their own minds, hearts, and theology, makes them what they are. And what they believe is not Biblical.

That is the crux of the OP's question.

I believe IS responded in an appropriate way.

She asked what they believe, not if it's right. He didn't answer because he can't. All IS did was his tired "they're going to hell!" crap.

Of course you see his response as appropriate. You love to judge others too.

Dude, that is what they (mormons) believe. It is their doctrine. Check it out for yourself. Then respond.

But I doubt you will. It is the easy way out. To a lost eternity. For you and yours, anyway.

IS answered Libby's questions, biblically. But where does the Bible stand with you?

You decide.

Personally I think what they believe is pretty cool. ..

To think my children were spirits in heaven living in perfection, in pure bliss...

Then one day they found me... and chose to come live with me instead.

I find that very powerful that my child could love me so much to give up paradise to come stay with me.

If you wish to live in ignorance, have at it. You'll see one day. I just hope you've made the right choice.

Even when Bob tried to explain a little bit, all IS could do is inform everyone how wrong they are.
I'd be happy to answer some of Libby's questions, but not here where it will turn into yet another round of IS damning everyone to hell because he thinks he has all the answers.
IS, in case you actually care to contribute to the conversation, she is NOT asking who is right and wrong. She is only asking what the Mormons believe. That's it. Since you cannot answer, butt out.
I'm sorry that you also wish to remain ignorant about this but it's your choice and you'll see one day also.

First off, I answered her questions. Second off, you don't tell me what I can say or do here! Understand? And you can come down off your high horse anytime now. You think you're the forum Dad but you're nothing more than an uninformed loud mouth and the devils' advocate. Apparently a mormon also since you think you know so much about them.

MMDad knows more than everyone else and he's ashamed of his God because he won't tell us what he believes. I answered Libbys' questions and I gave a bit more information.

No, you don't know who the true God is so you can't understand what we're speaking about. Whatever I say is clearly backed up with Scripture. If you don't believe that then of course you'll say it's our interpretation. And anyone who discounts the Bible would agree with you.

P.S. Why don't you & MMDad answer Libby's questions and stop side tracking her threads?

Keep spreading the haterade! You giving your version is worthless. It was so predictable. As soon as I saw her questions, I knew you would not be able to resist spreading your hatred.

Keep thinking whatever you want to about me. Your opinion matters less than nothing.

When you face judgement and you are asked "Why did you strive to drive so many away from me?" how will you answer?
