Which states; I marvel that you are turing away so soon from him him who called you in grace of christ, to a different gospel.
7. which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of christ. 8. but even if we, or angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

Again?

Do you read the entire book of Galatians? (obviously not)

The "other gospel" spoken of is found in the second chapter, the "gospel of circumcision" vs. the "gospel of uncircumcision".

Look again at verse 8.

If WE (who was Paul saying when he said WE?). He was speaking of himself and he other apostles. If you read the rest of Galatians, as well as the 15th chapter of Acts, you will see what you are missing. That some of the apostles believed that a man must first become a Jew (thru circumcision) and follow the Law of Moses. Some of the Galatians were thinking that they had to do this, and Paul was saying, No, Jesus fulfilled the law, and we don't have to be circumcised.

So, he was saying; If WE (meaning all the apostles and other church leaders) said this or EVEN an angel from heaven came and seems to tell you you have to be circumcised, don't listen! You don't have to follow the gospel of circumcision.

So, it's not EVEN talking about "the angel Moroni", and it's certainly not talking about the gospel we preach which is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

That does not apply to only Mormons. It applies to all churches but one, the one that preaches the bible without adding to or taking away from the bible.

Which one is what you must find out, one clue is that any churches that claim a few from all denominations will make it has already added and taken away from the scripture.

Another clues is those who believe faith and personal relationship without works of any kind because that contradicts and adds to and takes away from scripture especially James chapter, but all of James is teaching works in addition to faith.

It makes more sense to me to believe that all spiritual paths lead to Deity so therefor tolerance is key. But my religion has no book that claims to be truth.

I have helped convert a mormon before using this scripture..
HOWEVER.. Let me warn you.. Unless you are using the KJV version of this scripture, I doubt you are not going to get much response...

Couldn't this apply to any form of religion (God believing)?
I'm not a Mormon, but there are many who invent their own versions of the Bible and what they think it means; and then try to pass it off as the Word of God.
