Hey, if you are who you say you are then you should know that Christians are commanded to call out false prophets and teachings - mormonism is false.
If you are who you say you are then you should know that the “fruit” is reference to false prophets.
If you are who you say you are you should know that measuring all to the Word of God is what we are supposed to do.
If you are who you say you are then personally attacking people who are exposing false teachings and false prophets is not good way to identify yourself as a Christian.

I am who I say I am. Exactly.

And I also know that over the millenia, Christians have taken God's word, and used Jesus' Name to do things that having nothing to do with being a Christ-follower.

The "Fruit of the Spirit" as listed in Galatians 5: 22 are the following....LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, and SELF-CONTROL.

This passage of Scripture is not about berating and belittling everyone in your path, but controlling yourself because we belong to Jesus Christ. It's about ourselves, and crucifying our own sin nature.....not others.

I am measuring everything I see to God's Word, and Christ's teaching and example, and that is exactly why I am criticizing you and Elsie.

I am not 'personally attacking' anyone for exposing false teachings. If that's all that was going on here, I would be silent. I understand exactly what Mormonism is, and have for decades, and know its errors, but that, again, is not what I am criticizing.

If you don't understand, svcw, that you are only a sinner saved by grace, and not better than others who have not yet found and accepted the real, crucified, risen Lord, who is the ONLY Son of God, and who IS God, then I would urge you to spend some time in prayer about that.

Until then, I will ignore your not so subtle personal attacks on me, that I am not a Christian.

The more you accuse me, the worse you look.
