I am an Ex-Mormon. But some one try and help me understand why this is true. Facts Please. Even if you dont believe in God, Help me out with this one. I dont think this is true. I might need to Give ol' Joseph Smith a call and see what he can tell me. With His rocks he used to find buried treasure. And used to translate the Book of Mormon. Man that has to be one awesome rock. lol

how can I help you with facts if that's true when I don't think it's true either?

Ephesians 4:5 states that there is One Lord, One faith, and One baptism.
This, of course, comes right before Paul explains the organization of Christ's church with apostles, prophets, etc.
Perhaps you should actually take the time to learn what we believe rather than criticize something that you obviously do not understand.

it continuously seems to return flow into opposite to polygamy, would not it? that must be the biggest distinction between later revelations and the unique doctrine, that and racial differences. The Mormon church became into fairly fortunate in that their reformation became into forced upon it early, for that reason allowing it to grow to be a greater mainstream corporation. the perimeter church homes are an excellent occasion of how weird and wonderful it could have been: those are human beings, and we do have a tendency in the direction of violence at situations.

Uh...well, being an "ex" you should know the reason we believe this is the complete gospel - we believe the fulness of the gospel (which was lost after Christ and his disciples died) was restored, through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
We believe in continued revelation and in modern day prophets, they lead and guide us, directly from the Lord. I believe it is true because I have received a personal testimony of it, through the power of the Holy Ghost...

Well, unless all denominations teach exactly the same thing, only one can be true (or they're all false together). Different churches teaching different things can't all be "right". That's just common sense.
Mormons have the only true church because Jesus Christ and God the Eternal Father appeared personally to Joseph Smith and restored the truth. And no, I don't have any evidence to back up this claim. Only the witness of the Holy Ghost in my heart that it is true.

Each church believes they are the "true" church. Mormons just express it in exactly those terms more than some others.
