Now back to the OP---EVERYONE should embrace the LDS--for its teaching are pure and lead to spiritual life.

Your turn.
The teachings that there are other Gods is pure? Idolatry is one of the reason Israel had so much trouble with her neighbors after coming back into the land after their captivity in Egypt.. The teaching of other Gods is a serious crime against God that isn't purity.. God taught Moses that the Lord our God is ONE LORD (Deut 6:4). Jesus confirmed that doctrine in Mark 12:29.. But what did Smith teach you?

I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, and that the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit: and these three const itute three distinct personages and three Gods. If this is in accordance with the New Testament, lo and behold! we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural: and who can contradict it! History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 473

Smith's challenge was met and contradicted in the confirmation Jesus gave in Mark 12:29 as to the singularity of GOD..

Even your own BofM contradicts the doctrine of multiple wives.. There it teaches that David committed wicked acts desiring many wives.. The wickedness of polygamy in the taking of many wives, suddenly becomes righteousness in the 132nd of the D&C? And these are the actions that you are willing to call the teachings of purity that lead to spiritual life? REALLY? That is UNBELIEVABLE! IHS jim
