Ugh. Tedious. I probably blocked you for a response like this on another post. Regretting this now - I should have gone with my initial response and trusted whatever made me decide to block you was for good reason. Muted (simply because I expect you’re looking to score another Internet win from the jaws of X doom posting.
If I blocked you, it was for some reason. I dont owe you a reason but I generally don’t block unless someone uses foul language, proves to be a bad actor, says something really offensive, or is a negative influence so much that I decide I don’t need to read thier garbage.
I don’t remember why I blocked you, but it wasn’t for the content of this post. I don’t even know you so if I saw something else, I could have easily reacted independently of this conversation, and likely did.
When I saw your post asking for a voice to respond, I decided to unblock you to give you asked for, and was generally confused why you were blocked.
Again, I don’t know you from Adam and generally think of accounts in terms of single post issues unless we’ve traded enough comments for you to become familiar.
You have a voice, as you asked.

Protestants can never get away from their dependence on the Catholic church- they rely on its authority for their scripture canon, theology, ritual, etc.
They can start something new…
But they’ll never replace the church
with a book the church gave them
Latter-Day Saint Dad retweeted
One of the more entertaining aspects of being a Latter-day Saint on X is discovering all the things we’re apparently supposed to believe. 😂
Every day, someone confidently explains our theology to us, announces they’ve discovered a devastating contradiction, and then celebrates defeating a religion that exists entirely in their imagination.
Meanwhile, we’re over here believing that ALL people are children of God, that His light reaches every nation, and that truth and goodness can be found among Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Buddhists, and countless others.
We rejoice when anyone draws closer to God, wherever they are on that journey.
We believe in continuing revelation, eternal progression, the divine potential of humanity, and a loving Heavenly Father who hasn’t forgotten a single one of His children.
It’s a remarkably beautiful and hopeful theology.
But please, tell us again how we don’t believe in Jesus. 😂
To my fellow Latter-day Saints: Keep sharing the light. Keep loving your neighbors. Keep finding truth wherever it exists.
And to our critics: You’re always welcome to disagree with our beliefs.
We’d just appreciate it if you’d learn what they are first. ❤️
Weird flex.
So… at least your your god doesn’t damn 1/3 of his children to eternal hell fire and brimstone
…he just creates billions of sentient “creatures” and damns the vast majority of them (at least the billions and billions that don’t profess Jesus the same way you do) to eternal hell fire and damnation.
Sorry. I’ll keep my God. That one sounds like Satan.
LDS: Here’s a funny instance when a critic tries to use Grok to score an Internet win and gets an L when Grok restates what he was trying to refute as true.
Critic: That’s a dumb argument. It actually works against ole Joe Smith.
LDS: What part? The part where Grok says that the words literally mean what we said the mean?
Critic: Weird position to take.
LDS:
Critic: everyone knows historically that Mormonism teaches that salvation comes through grace PLUS works.
LDS: That’s not even partially accurate.
Critic: Again, is it a translated word for word text like Joseph claimed or not?
LDS: The church has repeatedly affirmed that the translation was accomplished "by the gift and power of God" rather than through traditional linguistic translation. Joseph said he did not know Reformed Egyptian.
Critic: So how did he do it?
LDS: …by the gift and power of God.
Critic: You expect me to believe in miracles?
LDS:
Critic: So even though how you’ve defined the phrase “after all we can do” as “despite/in spite of all we can do” meaning you still need Christ regardless of what effort you do…
Critic: … and even though your Articles of Faith support that position…
Critic: … and even though other scriptures in in the Book of Mormon support that position…
Critic: …and even though your prophets, including Joseph Smith have repeatedly affirmed this…
Critic: …and even after Grok proved the legitimacy of this phrase being used in this way during the time it was written, not the literal way I want to see it in 2026…
Critic: …I’m still going to claim a pointless Internet win.
Critics are the one making the argument that it means something that it doesn’t, and then trying to use Grok to prove their point ? 💁♂️
But ok.
For all the critics that like to “Grok it up” to prove the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is wrong.
Does this guy not see the irony in his post? How many Christians literally say this garbage to LDS every day and twice on Sunday? Our faith is false. We’re not Christians. They only proselytize to us so we can be “really” saved.
