The LDS living prophet, Gordon Hinckley, proclaims about his faith,
It is fundamentally different from every other body of religious doctrine of which I know.
I think we ought to discuss ‘fundamentals’. So could the LDS living apostles in this new year formulate what are the fundamental differences between Mormon doctrine and all the other stripes of religious doctrine in America? This should not be Governor Romney’s job; it falls squarely upon the shoulders of the LDS apostles and first presidency.
If the LDS leaders take the lead on this, it would be hugely beneficial to all the stripes of outsiders and all the stripes of Mormon insiders within the I-15 corridor as we discuss important heart issues.
Don’t you think?
Yes I do think. Our doctrine ofGod for starters. Our doctrine of multiple heavens for another thing. Our doctrine of salvation for the dead for yet anotherthing. Sure there are differences, but that doesn’t erase the similarities either, right?
The New Apostolic Church has a body of doctrine that is in many ways startlingly similar to Mormonism.
