No physical Temples?

I provided the proof. You study the redacted version of the Bible and deny the verses that don't suit your Mortmonism as taught by false prophet Joseph Smith.You teach that Mormonism is the Gospel.

Please explain redacted version of the Bible.... we don't need to hear about D&C or other books we learn from.... we are talking Bible here.

The LDS might one-up you on that, as it's the Bible itself which proves the critics here don't believe the Bible:

James 2:24---New American Standard Bible
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Those of His Kingdom here on earth live and obey as is often asked of us.... obedience is a throw away word for evangelicals.

No, it isn't a throw away word at all! But whom or what do we obey? Mormon rules and regulations, not found in the Bible? OR what God has told us to do, vis a vis 1 John 3:21-23?

We can obey God from the heart only when our hearts have been changed by the Gospel message--the true one of the Bible, not the complicated, convoluted one of the LDS church. Only then can we bear fruit pleasing to God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Obedience does not save, only Faith is needed... hence a throwaway word.. can't have it both ways.....

This makes me laugh every time I see it. The cherry pickers accusing others of using a redacted version.

You mean, a gospel without prophets and apostles, priesthood or authority from God? Do you mean the thousands of confusing disagreeing Christian sects that abound?

It's truly sad the amount of hate generated by these so,-caller Christian critics.

The "other books" prove that we do believe the Bible. Care to demonstrate what we have in the other books that isn't found in the Bible so far as salvation is concerned.

That isn't what your church teaches--it teaches that one must obey all the laws and ordinances of the Gospel in order to be "saved." (paraphrasing a little). That isn't salvation--eternal life--by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Is it?

Christians didn't and don't throw works away. We believe the Bible that teaches "by their fruits ye shall know them." We believe that God ordains the works that we shall do in Christ. Apart from Christ we can do nothing. When we are saved by faith in Christ apart from works, He works in us.

Matthew 5
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Stop attempting to cover the good that Christians do on a daily basis. We don't do good to gain salvation provided by faith in Christ's blood.

Your love of truth is evident. The critics of TRUTH will attack your words and character, but you have the full armor of God!

Spoken by a critic of non-Mormons and a critic of all Christian denominationns.

1 Nephi 14:10
10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.

You're right. That's what the scriptures teach. If you would have eternal life, keep the commandments. That is straight from Christ's own words. Two witnesses. Two separate books. Further those whose deeds are good will be resurrected to life. But salvation comes in and through Jesus Christ. No one can be saved except they have faith in him. It requires both to be saved, not one or the other.

As far as all the laws of the gospel... Like any other person in any other religion, we can only be held accountable for what we know. How can someone be held accountable for not keeping the Sabbath day holy when they didn't know there was a day to keep holy? This is not universal knowledge.

But most of the tripe you heap upon us are neither commandments nor requirements for salvation because it is available to everyone, not just us. If you know the truth and accept it, you can be saved in the kingdom of God. It's that simple. I'm the gospel of Jesus Christ, the opportunity is made available to everyone including the dead. Peter made that very clear. The fact that you all are ignorant of these things is telling. If those who were once disobedient in the days of Noah are eligible for salvation, then who wouldn't be?

The logic is clear. There can be only one truth and anything that teaches something else is simply not true. That's self evident. It should need explaining but some people just don't get it.
