Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

With this making news and all the reaction and interest, it's obvious to me that doctrine does matter. The fact is, despite what others may want to think, that many do care if their leaders are being led by the same God/Jesus as they are. What LDS don't understand is that Christians hold to Jesus being the unique Son of God. That means for them, they think that He's God the Son. He's the second person of the *only* God there is. Every other son of God is not a son with the nature of God. They are creatures with different natures (e.g., angels and humans). Jesus, for Christians, is exalted above anything imaginable, since He is literally the Creator of everything outside Himself--including us and Lucifer (Jn. 1:1-3, 14; Rom. 9:5; and Col. 1:13-18). LDS devalue Jesus since He didn't create everything. LDS don't even believe that there is a God for any world who is God by nature. Each God (since Mormons are polytheists) had to become a god, and is worshipped exclusively for that world. "Worthy" LDS hope to become gods of their own worlds to receive exclusive worship from their own spirit kids. But Jesus taught there is only one true God (Jn. 17:3), and He warned us of false prophets and false Christs that would come in the last days (Mt. 24:24). http://www.MormonInfo.org

It is dishonest to offer that at as universal Christian view, at least as dishonest as Mormonism's insistence that Joe Smith was a prophet. Since it is essentially a Catholic view, it becomes obvious that you would attempt to paint Catholicism as the sole arbiter of Christian doctrine. I believe that discussion was settle quite some time ago. It also paints your post with a certain irony that is very damaging to your credibility.
