Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? - 2 Corinthians 11:7

No offence. Nevertheless those 2 Mormons didn't preach the gospel of God, they preached their own -strange- religion and values that are both different to the kind of Christianity I was taught when I was younger. It had nothing to do with the loving God I know. Their idol was a boring chastiser. To me they appeared like two convinced but false prophets.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Do you think that sexuality in Europe is unclean, fornication, fitlthy etc. etc. etc.? I would think twice before I would answer this question if I were you.

I'm with you on the first point. Nevertheless, all I come up is that as Christians, preaching the gospel to anyone whom we know haven't heard the true gospel yet is one of the most fundamental idea. I think your word seemed to imply that preaching our belief is wrong. If you don't mean it, then my apologies over this.

The second point is even more explicit. No pre-marital sex, no extra-marital sex (adultery), no homosexual sex, no divorce on a whim and then wanton re-marriage, and churches in Asia are very orthodox on this area.
