This has been brought up to me numerous times. If the TSCC is the "true" church, then why are there 15 apostles when in Christ's time there were only 13?

My answer is, there is only 13 apostles in the TSCC. The Presidency just represents the God Head/Trinity.

They sacrifice their lives for the betterment of the world. So in a sense, it is the same story as Christ, retold. The way they act and the way TBM's worship them, I don't know how anyone in the TSCC could disagree.

Heh! Even with that, the problem is:

In the Book of Mormon Christ established twelve apostles with no president.

After Christ died the leader of the church was the head of the apostles.

So there is NO precedent for a church lead by a presidency.

What is a so-called prophet doing with apostles in the first place? Christ had apostles, the Old Testament prophets did not. Is TSCC saying their prophet is Chrust?

If you want to annoy mormons even more, just mention that Alma was the leader of the church and only a high priest.
