Interesting Mittens. The Mormon message is one should seek and speak with God. Is God a lie Mittens?

Seek whose god and speak to this god concerning what? The Mormon god is not a one and a only God and the Mormon message is to seek concerning the validity of the Book of Mormon. It doesn't seem to be one of questioning what the Mormon Prophet says God says.

So how is he going to identify people who leave the Church in order to get a sample?

LN,


You should be warned not to confuse anything Tobin says with what Mormonism actually believes. (Or for that matter what he actually believes.)
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

Are you claiming God is incapable of telling a Mormon the truth? Is your God omnipotent or not?
