Ask someone who knows

I am disappointed in your guest editorial about the "Basic beliefs of Mormons explained."

If you want to know the truth about the Latter-day Saints church, ask them, not someone like Mike Licona, who is absolutely no authority on their faith. There are several flaws in this editorial - too many to point out.

Evangelicals reject Mormons since they do not accept the Trinity. Men made up the Trinity in the 4th century. It says God is a being without body parts and passion, and that God, Christ and the Holy Ghost are the same being. Biblically, the godhead is united in purpose, but they are three distinct personages.

Those who claim that Mormonism is a cult are the same people who claim that the Nicene Creed accurately represents the Bible. The Nicene Creed is truly a man-made doctrine. Who is the cult?
