By Andrew Weeks Times-News writer
Twin Falls resident Lindsay McMurtry con- siders himself a good Christian. He believes in God, prayer, the Bible and in serving his fellow man. He believes that “there is none other name (than Jesus Christ) ... whereby we must be saved.”(Acts 4:12.) That’s why he’s baffled when he hears others say his beliefs are not Christian. McMurtry has heard the controversy time and again since he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more than 30 years ago. Sometimes the claims by others that Mormons are not Christian have made him angry; other times Photos by ERIN MATHSON/For the Times-News they’ve made him laugh. Lindsay McMurtry discusses the scriptures Thursday with his family in their Twin Falls home. McMurtry, who joined the Mormon Church at age 16, considers himself a good Christian. He joined the church after he felt God had answered his prayer, he says.
