How is it that you don't quote the Koran

First, find me any post where I have quoted ANY religious text. Since you will find none, that will answer your question.

I don't quote the Koran because I don't hold it to be the Word of God. For starters it denies that Jesus ever died on the cross as a propitiation for my sins. It reduces the deity of Jesus Christ to the status of "just another prophet", while giving high regard to Mohammed and his deity the moon god called Allah. In a nutshell it refutes nearly all the tenets of Christianity.

The book of Mormon also denies the Lordship of Jesus Christ. For starters, Joseph Smith falsely believed that Lucifer and Jesus were brothers. This can't be true, because the bible declares that all things were created by Jesus, including all the angels. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism was never a Christian. He was a Mason who dwelt heavily in the occult. Because of this heavy involvement in the occult he was very susceptible to false dreams and visions. Hence the Book of Mormon came about. Should you ever visit a Mormon temple ask those in charge why there are so many symbols on the walls and what they represent.

Many books have been written on religion. If you want to know what's the truth from fiction then give it the acid test. If it convicts you of being a sinner and in need of Jesus Christ as a propitiation for your sins then it might be worth reading. If however, it exalts men and holds Jesus Christ as less than Lord and saviour then it's just religion.
