I should probably introduce myself. And let people know where I stand in regards to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want there to be no mistake. I am Bryan Summers. I am 49 years old. I'll tell a little of my history and then bare my testimony. Below I'm on my favorite trail in the world. The Timberline Trail on Mt Hood.

God bless her!
👇This is why members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints take offense to people who lie about their beliefs or say “Mormons aren’t Christian” It’s unfortunate that rhetoric can go so far as to break up families. Glory be to Christ who seeks to unite families for eternity.

Read the comments. It is good!
“THIS WASN’T A COINCIDENCE.” ——————————————— @GerritWGong, I know you probably won’t see this, but I wanted to thank you. My sister in law FaceTimed me just now with tears of joy after having met you. She’s been inactive for a while. She’s been trying to go back to church. Her boyfriend decided to start taking lessons recently as well. They met with the missionaries recently and she wrote in her journal as well as prayed for a sign that what she is doing is right. If she’s on the right path of going back to church. If all this even matters. Then you ran into her and her boyfriend shortly after that. I won’t share the rest on here, but I know what she felt; she will always remember. Then before you left, you grabbed her by her hand, looked her in the eyes and said: (Her name), this wasn’t a coincidence!” She said, “Troy. I know he spoke to me, but it felt like Christ himself was speaking to me!” I told her as Christ’s anointed, He was. He did. Through you!” Thank you for recognizing and ministering to “the one.” Or in this case, two.

The thing I can't stand about content like this is that it's so unlike the model the apostle Paul gave to Christians. Assume you believe Mormonism is a cult. Fine, but notice how Paul never mocked the Greco-Roman cultus. He took it seriously. So, why don't you? youtu.be/Ab245Kw1uG0

In case you missed it, my wife and I started a candy business that did $250k in year one. What people don’t know is what it took to make the first sale. This is Part 2 of the series “How We Built This Candy Truck.” Today: THE BUILD, Welding and Woodworking. (Part 1 is linked in the replies.)

The man is just good to the core! I’m proud to be his co-religionist.
My husband and a partner had a window cleaning business in college (in Utah). Mitt hired them to do the windows at his house where he was hosting a big event for donors later that day. My husband wasn’t at that job, but his partner told us that Mitt was apologetic, saying he “usually does it himself” and he kept offering to help—and asking if he was ok—while he was up on the ladder.

Brigham Young is my sixth-great-grandfather. Those 2,500 soldiers sent to Utah in 1857 were delayed by Mormon militias under his direction. Supply trains were burned, cattle scattered, and the army was forced to spend a brutal winter near Fort Bridger. When the army finally entered Utah, it didn't destroy the fledgling society my ancestors had built. Instead, the soldiers' need for food, supplies, and services brought a massive influx of cash into an isolated, struggling economy with limited outside trade. And when the army was recalled at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, roughly $4 million worth of military supplies were auctioned off for pennies on the dollar. The force sent to subdue the Mormons ended up helping finance the very settlements it had come to control. Brigham Young didn't fold like a chair. He protected his people, negotiated a peaceful resolution, and saw his community benefit economically from the army's presence. History is an important area of study.

Brigham Young had 56 wives and folded like a lawn chair when the U.S. Army sent 2500 soldiers out there. We shouldn’t disrespect visitors but history is an important area of study.

I grew up mainstream Christianity during my preteen years, and grew to appreciate the LDS way of life in college. From my perspective, I don’t understand why those differences in religion have to create so much division and hostility if we both serve Jesus.

Buster Keaton, of course.
You can’t say Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan, or Bruce Willis. Who’s the greatest action movie star of all time?

Latter-day Saints have always affirmed being Christian. By definition, we are Christian. By definition, we are the most Christian.

I would counter with this: nowhere did Christ ever command us to argue about the nature of His relationship between Himself, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Paul actually commanded the opposite — "Avoid foolish controversies… and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless" (Titus 3:9), and "Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels" (2 Tim 2:23). And it seems that many Christians on X spend so much time doing what Christ never commanded us to do that they never get around to doing what He actually commanded us TO do. The LDS, in the meantime, are out there living what Christ commanded, each and every day. More than 70,000 full-time missionaries — most of them teenagers and young adults paying their own way — are knocking on doors on every continent, doing the Great Commission as a daily job rather than a debating topic. Their members fast two meals a month and give the money to feed the poor. Their bishops' storehouses, welfare farms, and humanitarian arm move well over a billion dollars a year in aid to people of every faith and none. Every member is assigned specific families to minister to and check on. Their local clergy are unpaid volunteers. They abstain, they tithe, they show up. Christ gave us the test Himself: "By their fruits ye shall know them" (Matt 7:20). He did not say, "By their metaphysics ye shall know them." So who is actually following Christ?
I think this totally different understanding & different, infinitely less group of beings united in purpose they point to thus means we can't say they follow Christ the being, but do point to many of his teachings, & some of Christs good & follow those, but not the infinite good.

On the contrary, the reason we say it - and prepare yourself, this is going to be a real shock - is that we actually believe it.
