I prefer to say that we have the fullness of the Gospel. This is the further light and knowledge that continuing revelation provides. For example, many people question what happens to the billions of people who died or will die without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I have heard noted evangelists hem and haw over this. The Church has an answer that satisfies the scriptures requirement of faith and baptism, and provides an understanding of the justice and mercy of Heavenly Father. You can take any other docritne that has split churches apart, and find an answer that is based on scripture and God's love.

I would say the gospel is true, not the "church"...if that makes sense. The gospel the church members learn and teach is the correct gospel. I believe most religions have some truth, just not the whole truth as does the LDS.
Why? It is true ane correct to me personally because I have asked the Lord if it is and through the gift of the Holy Ghost, I have received a personal witness of the truthfulness. I love the gospel and love being a member of the church. Is it always easy to live? No. Is it worth it? YES.

That is something you have to find out for yourself. You cannot rely on others experiences to form an opinion when it comes to your relationship with God.
I joined the church when I was twenty, after being very "anti-organized religions." I chose this path because it is right for me, and I do believe it to be the true church. I am still very close with my family, even though they are not members. My relationship with them has acutally grown closer.
Most people who are against the church don't have their facts straight. The best way to find truth is go to the source. Why are there over 13 million members WORLDWIDE if it is so unbelievable? Some people call it a cult, so what? Fine, I'm a member of a cult.
The definition of cult: group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

All churches are "true" churches, but I do believe that the LDS church is the restored church of Jesus Christ. Until Joseph Smith, the church was gradually apostatizing from the earth. It had not totally disappeared. but it was disappearing. The priesthood authority Christ gave His apostles was gone, living prophets and apostles, gone; revelation, not gone, but man had turned a deaf ear to God, and would listen only to the Bible.

I believe it is. I believe that the church that Christ started was taken away due to apostasy and non belief. It was restored on this earth over 100 years ago to a 14 year old boy. If you want to know that story, then check out the link below.
Does that mean that no other church is true? No. It means that to me, I believe it to be truth. Everyone has to have their own truths, and religion is a big one. Whatever is right for you is the truth.

Each church is the true church. Just ask any of the members.

No
Because Joseph Smith said that he translated the Book of Abraham from Egyptian papyri that have since been located, translated, and found not to be what he claimed. That and many, many, many, other reasons.

Every church will tell you they are the true church. Just like how every religion will tell you they are the tue religion.

Ask God....he knows!
Do so sincerely, humbly, and with real intent and he'll direct you to the truth regarding this question.
I did, and he directed me to the truth.
