(Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith 2:19) |
<font color=blue> Latter-day Saints believe that there is much of value to be found within other religions and denominations. We respect many of their religious leaders, both ancient and modern. The Latter-day Saints believe we have additional truths to offer the world. We do not believe we are the sole source of truth and we embrace all truth. While we believe the LDS Church contains the "fullness" of the gospel, we believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ may be found in many Christian denominations. | <font color=blue> Latter-day Saints believe that there is much of value to be found within other religions and denominations.

They should take the necessary steps to correct the misrepresentations which they claim are unintentional. Other non-LDS Christians recognized ahead of time how offensive the DVD would be to members of the Church, but Mr. Gavin seems to have ignored their opinion also.
