The article quotes from Taylor Frankie Paul, "For someone to come to say that I shouldn't be a member of the church because I'm not Mormon enough or I sin. Let me tell you, a lot of things happen in the church and a lot of sins are committed every single day. Nobody is perfect". Although there are sins in the church, it is not to be a way of life, which evidently it is, especially making a show around it. We are told, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not" (1 John 2:1) and "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God" (1 John 3:9). Sin is to be put away, be ceased from, etc. Thinking we are forgiven despite no fruit of repenting, ceasing, etc. from it is called deception.
