Now you're confusing me. First you and Restornu emphasize "working out" our faith. But "working up" our faith is out of bounds?
If you'er not open to being convinced, then why do you ever bother to open Scripture or listen to a speaker? Why do you tune into the weatherman if he may not "convince" you, for example, about your opinion of the weather.
In other words, you're telling me that if Scripture is delivered to you in bite-sized portions from any hand other than one with "LDS" written on it, it's written off as being untrustworthy?
And then on the other side, I can never learn from talking to LDS about key issues as they cite Scripture?
“If you’er not open to being convinced, then why do you ever bother to open Scripture or listen to a speaker? Why do you tune into the weatherman if he may not “convince” you, for example, about your opinion of the weather.”
I’m not here to be convinced by you, Colo, nor am I here to convince you. I’m here to refute slander about my faith.
Like my fellow LDS Freepers, I don’t go around bashing others’ religion. I’m here to do what I can to protect the good name of my own.
