First of all, I want to thank all of you for your replies. I also want to say, that my issues are with the LDS church and that is as far as they go. I have a complete testimony of Christ and Christianity in general.

No. The Cross, is one of
many issues with the Church that I have. This one was simply the first one I had composed enough to ask. I am currently in a hotel, and unfortunately forgot my Bible at home, and I was not quite ready to ask other questions without it for some reference.

How long have you been a member? The reason I ask is this; remember why you were baptized. You received a testimony that the gospel as taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was truth, correct?
|
I was born and raised a mormon. I was baptized when I was nine, so eight years ago. To tell you the truth, I was baptized because I had faith in Christ, at least as much as you can at that age. I had no clue on the LDS faith. I was baptized in the LDS faith at that time, because I lived in Utah, and that is just what you do. Honestly I got enough weird looks when people found out that I was not baptized when I was eight.

Rediscover the joy that comes with the manifestation of the Holy Ghost that the Lord lives and has restored to us the fullness of His gospel so that we can return to Him.

I do not need to rediscover it, as Christ is already a big part of my life. It is simply the LDS faith that is not.

The cross aside.... are you a member of the church? If so how long? Do you have a testimony about anything? The Book of Mormon? Joseph Smith? I suspect that you don't if you are worried about religious symbols.

I just answered the first three so, The Book of Mormon? No. I tried reading it back when President Hinckley challenged everyone to. I tried, and I just did not get anything out of it. I recently tried again, with very similar results. Joseph Smith? No.
