God does teach us through each other...
thats why He gave the spiritual gifts. prophets, pastors, teachers, revelators, dreamers and interpretors, tongues...He even names encouragers and the generous as aspiritual services according to each ones gifts. to say "Jesus teaches us" is true, and the "spirit teaches us" is also true, but the most prominent ways he does that is through unity and peace and sharing of word in the church, for edification so that we grow together in the Knowledge of Jesus.
to trust in One prophet at a time is the issue i cant reconcile with mormonism, it really does get a bad wrap at times in christian circles, i dont personally agree with some things they believe, but thier core beliefs arent that different from Christianity......to be fair and square let me do this
[h=3]Written in 1842 by the Prophet Joseph Smith, these 13 statements explain the basic doctrines and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[/h][FONT="]Summarized here, the Articles of Faith state Mormon beliefs:
1. We believe in God the Father; His Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost.
2. That men will be punished only for their own sins and not for Adam’s transgression.
3. That through Christ’s Atonement, we can be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
4. That faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion, confirmation, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost are all necessary for salvation.
5. That leaders and teachers in the Church must be chosen and ordained by priesthood power.
6. That Christ’s Church today is organized as it was when He first established it.
7. In modern-day revelation and priesthood healing and blessing.
8. That the Bible and Book of Mormon are both divinely revealed scripture.
9. That God has communicated with and will continue to communicate with humankind.
10. In the literal gathering of Israel and the restoration of the ten tribes, and that Zion will be built on the American continent when Christ reigns on the earth.
11. In worshipping God according to our own dictates and allowing others to do likewise.
12. In sustaining the laws and leaders of the land.
13. In being “honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men.”
Just to be clear, im NOT endorsing, just being fair rather than tell people what i think they believe....this is the official articles of faith for LDS

Catholicism is a false, evil religion. And Catholics are NOT Christians. Not even close. They hold rosaries, pray to Mary and ask her to intercede for them. They have statues and idols. There is only ONE intercessor, and his name is Jesus. 
Mary cannot answer prayer, can't even hear prayers. Catholics bow down to priests and popes. Christians do not.

Where do you think 'sunday worship comes from ? not from Jesus !

if the church dont feel right move on to another, and keep moving on until you find one that feels right.
Matthew 7:7-12
[SUP]7 [/SUP]“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. [SUP]8 [/SUP]For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. [SUP]9 [/SUP]Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? [SUP]10 [/SUP]Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? [SUP]11 [/SUP]If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
if you believe what Jesus says here then you have nothing to worry about, just keep looking (seeking).

So true! Like Roman Catholicism, Mormons believe they practice the one true religion, and elevate their writings and traditions above that of Scripture.
For the record, Roman Catholics are mandated by papal decree to accept as true the dogmas proclaimed from the seat of Peter, both of which concern Mary, and neither of which have any basis in Scripture.

1. Sounds biblical, but they believe in a different God, Son, Spirit
2. This isn't biblical
3. Not biblical
4. Partly biblical
5. Not biblical
6. Not sure what this means
7. Partly biblical, but no NEW revelation
8. This isn't biblical
9. True, but no new revelation
10. Bollocks of the highest order
11. Not biblical
12. Not biblical
13. Biblical, but there's far more to being a Christian
That's not a very good track record for Mormonism being similar to Christianity and this just scrapes the most shallow of surfaces.
