Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.

“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.

    No prob with that. Keep just in mind that the Bible, especially the New Testament, is to a certain part a parable.

      The parables are the stories that Jesus tells in order to make a point or to teach people about something.

      It’s very clear when something happening in the Bible is a parable or not.
