Yet another Christian unable to tell me what gospel Paul taught to the Galatians. I originally started asking this question to put forth my own argument. I've never managed to get that far.
Now I genuinely think they don't have an answer beyond "not Mormonism."

When President Christofferson starts with "I feel like Jacob from the Book of Mormon" and it's not something you have an issue with.

I have yet to have a Christian explain to me what gospel Paul preached to the Galatians before he wrote his letter.
But they're still so certain it condemns us...

Gal. 3:8 says,
"And the scripture... declared the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, 'All the gentiles shall be blessed in you.'"
Is the gospel that Paul preached in Gal. 1:8 that all the gentiles would be blessed in Abraham?
If no, is Paul teaching a different gospel here?

If only Pew Research knew it was a different Jesus. I mean, they're probably on the payrolls of the Church or something.
Latter-day Saints are, on average, among the most religious Americans.
For example, roughly seven-in-ten Latter-day Saints say that:
🔹Religion is very important in their lives.
🔹They pray daily
🔹They attend religious services in person at least weekly.

You know, we get accused of changing our doctrine or rejecting what previous leaders have said. Even when we explain that an individual teaching doesn't constitute doctrine, people will say "Oh you taught it in the past."
Is it fair to say the Christian Church taught modalism?
LDS folks, I love you, and I know how much you hate it when people mock the temple, get exhalation wrong, or a whole host of other things incorrect.
It is exhausting when you do the same for something you clearly don't understand, nor make an attempt to understand.
This is called modalism, and has been considered heretical for a very long time. The Trinity was not some spur of the moment thing. It was fiercely debated, fought over, and discussed for hundreds of years.
If you want to critique the Trinity, at the very least make an attempt to understand it, why it is, and how it came about before starting to attempt to critique it.

I think Latter-day Saints are often guilty of attacking a caricature of the Trinity, without studying what the Trinity actually is.
I think this is wrong and unfair. We need to do better.
It's far easier to critique the Trinity once you actually understand it.

Ironically enough, critics of Jospeh Smith mistranslate "translate" when they're talking about the BoM or BoA translation process, then get mad when we transmit the correct meaning of translate in its 1830s context.

Protestant: Mormon doctrine has wildly changed over the past two hundred years.
LDS: so a nascent religious movement can radically change its doctrine over time? When was the council of Nicaea?
Protestant: 325 AD
LDS: about two centuries after Christianity started...?

It is well known that whoever deflects, posts a curb stomp gif, and insults their opponent has definitively won the argument.
I know what homoousios is. Just show me where the Bible teaches that God is one consubstantial essence.
My soul is on the line here.
