Working for FAIR has got to be a tough job. The pile of lies just gets deeper and deeper. There’s not going to be a rug big enough to sweep it all under.

The main purpose of FAIR is not to tell the truth, but to put up enough distractions to keep members from investigating the truth from other sources, particularly websites like MormonThink.

Ok, have fun with the worst resource on the internet that I’ve refuted multiple times as seen above.

Exactly, Lemuel. Here are some of their beliefs which they deny.

The statements you made are all true but I don’t believe that most Mormons would deny them.

For example, one of my favorite hymns when I was LDS was about Kolob. They make no excuses for teaching that God lives near there. It commonly accepted within the church.

I’ve never seen any hymns about Kolob. But I saw one in praise of Joseph Smith, the LDS church’s founder. The whole Mormon church and its writings contain the fullness of the Mormon gospel. It doesn’t contain any of the fullness of Jesus’ Gospel.

If HEAVENLY FATHER had never been a mortal Person like us before, how could he possibly sympathise or empathise with us? It would be logically impossible, no?

It is logically impossible to believe God was ever a man. Who created and maintained the world god lived in?
It is also not biblical. From the beginning God was not man, and created everything including time and space.
 
3 Nephi 11
33 And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.
34 And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned.
40 And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock; but he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, and the gates of hell stand open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them.

If “Jesus” is telling The Truth in that section of the Book of Mormon, then Mormons who “declare more” than that "cometh of evil, and [are] not built upon [His] rock, and “the gates of hell stand open to receive such.” An example of declaring more as doctrine would be to declare that Christ’s Church must have a prophet (other than Jesus) at its head, or even a prophet under Jesus as its vice-regent; that one must pay tithing; that one must attend temple rites. And so on.

From the perspective of the Mormon Gospel, no of course not, the Book of Mormon doesn’t have half the things that Mormons believe are intimate parts of the Gospel, and most of the things that the Book of Mormon present as the Gospel, Mormons typically reject through redefinition or simply ignoring altogether, if you count changing the very words of the book ignoring them rather than destroying and replacing them.
