Mormonism

[Jack_Mormon]

. If the LDS don’t seek to reform Christianity, what is it your sect believes needs restoring?

The priesthood authority which we believe was lost with the death of the apostles.

The gift of prophesy as described by the Apostle Paul. What I believe you would call non-private revelation.

 

[Jack_Mormon]

is it true that people who leave the Mormon Church are often shunned by family and (former) friends

Yes, because every couple years, the church comes out in General conference and loudly condemns the practice of shunning.

and that this behavior is condoned by the Mormon Church authority

Absolutely not.

Do your own homework. Don’t let other people in any church tell you what to believe.

Ask the God of the Bible to guide you into all Truth. John 16:13

Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. 1Thessalonians 5:21

If they speak not according to the Law and the Testimony, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them! Isaiah 8:20

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:10 In other words let the Bible interpret itself with the Aid of the Holy Spirit!

God Bless all as you open your heart and mind to our Creator for Truth and a Relationship that will last eternally.
