Acts 7:59; “And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
3 Nephi 19:18, 24; “And behold, they began to pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God. 24 And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father, he came unto his disciples, and behold, they did still continue, without ceasing, to pray unto him; and they did not multiply many words, for it was given unto them what they should pray, and they were filled with desire.”
Throughout the almost two centuries of existence, the Mormon Church has back peddled itself into land of confusion. Their official canon above tells us the Nephites prayed to Jesus, so you’d think it’d be okay for Mormons to do so, right?
