I don't want another thread to be derailed so I am copying and pasting part of a thread from 'If Christianity...' and making a new thread from it so it doesn't go off the tracks.

Absolutely !!!
and that's what I've been saying for years !!!
which brings up the topic of the Holy Ghost
" the comforter "
which on on many occasions baffles, irritates, and surprisingly creates a sort of hostility and satire during deeper discussion and examination of Christ's doctrine !
Especially among my Jewish, Muslim , atheist , and science friends !!!
for example , the Bible and Book of Mormon both clearly state in specific verses that The Holy Ghost will manifest the truth and mission of Christ IF the reader/seeker of truth has an honest and pure heart for discovering the facts !!!

After all, if it is true then I am only lying to myself if I refuse to accept it. That is the nature of truth. If you don't believe truth then you believe a lie.T
I followed this post up with this reply below
But if you look closer Mormon teaching paints a different picture of who Jesus is vs what the bible says. The Holy Spirit is not in the teaching of the Mormon church. In their teaching Jesus is a created being and never was God at all but the brother of Lucifer. Jesus became a god and has his own planet with spirit kids. Mormons believe they will become gods and have their own planet. There is no mentioned of sin and repentance and being born again or adopted of God in their teaching. It is opposite of what the bible teaches.
He then responded with this reply.......

Thank you Deadn for your feedback !!!
trust me brother, those statements you suggested just aren't true !
I was raised in The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints !!!
We teach Christ's Doctrine !!!
we believe in the Bible AND the Book Of Mormon !!!
I've been a member for 48 years !!!
I know more about this church than anyone you've came in contact with !!!

I followed up by asking this question to him.
"Was God once a man?"
Finally he followed up by responding..........
Yes, God the Father was once a man
According to our teachings
but Deadn, that doesn't negate our other tenets !!!
baptism, sacrament, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, etc....
Like I told you earlier, no one you know knows the church like I do
