Letter To The Editor of the Idaho Statesman That they Will Not Publish As Of This Posting With E-Mail Exchange Afterwards By Pastor Bret Lovitz
Dear Editor:
In response to the article about Gordon Hinckley of the Latter Day Saints Church, Mormons aren't Christians, they're still a Cult.
I'm concerned about the deception by Mr. Hinckley and other Mormon leaders in trying to convince the public, gullible evangelicals, and Mormon members that they're biblical, historical Christians. I encourage everyone to do some research to find out what the Mormons did and still do believe. In short, they believe God was once as we are, and we will one day be as He is. They believe God the Father is Adam, and that He had a physical relationship with Mary to produce Jesus Christ. The Mormons don't believe in the biblical gospel that salvation from eternal Hell to eternal Heaven is by grace through faith alone in the Person and Work of Christ alone. If Mr. Hinckley really did repent, it would not only show that Joseph Smith and all of their so called prophets were in error, but they would publicly denounce them and their false teaching. It is my hope and prayer that Mormons (and others) reading this will research what their organization believes, and forsake them. I don't hate Mormons, I care about their soul.
When this originally came in, the editorial page editor, Kevin Richert, was on vacation. He reviewed it and said we cannot publish it as written, that we can't get into a war of religions on the editorial pages. You would need to recast your letter and submit again for consideration. One phrase he particularly was concerned with was calling the Mormons a cult. If you have any questions, you can contact Kevin at xxx-xxxx.
Thank you,

Thanks for your reply Peggy. I can't make the Idaho Statesman print the Letter To The Editor. The LDS Church, aka Mormons, are defined as a Cult. Christianity has considered them a Cult since they have been in existence. The decision not to print this is religious discrimination, censorship, and a violation of the constitution. When will many people see that their so-called concern for tolerance is hypocritical. If the Idaho Statesman is going to publish something, especially when the comments made by the one interviewed is false, they need to allow opposing views or not do it to begin with. I will be considering posting the whole exchange (my original letter I want published, your response, and my reply) on my BLOG. As well as consider other avenues. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I will pass your comments on to the editor.
