In all the years I have seen you post "Quester", to the LDS such as Grig James one of the longest dialogue, even Logogphile etc!

You never gave an acknowledgement to any thing that that stared you in the face!

You are not truly a "Quester" as in "Quest!" that is a misnomer because a seekers want to know the truth not deny it!

Quester I can't help but marvel...

Jesus could bear witness to you "Quester" of His Father in Heaven, and you would tell Jesus he is wrong for the Nicene Creed says ...


A few of your statements here, Restornu ... are an example of what I am talking about.

Here ... you go beyond ... judging my arguments ... to judging me, ... something that Christians are encouraged not to do.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
And it is but one example of what Mormons are, more often than not, left doing when the evidence doesn't support their contentions (as is often the case).

I, actually, understand (to some extent) your plight.

Mormonism is built upon a virtual dearth of non-evidence.
You hold sacred a document (the BOM) ... for which you have no original documents ... which only one person ever claimed to have read.

The BOM references historical events and circumstances (Jews in the early Americas) ... for which there is no supporting evidence.

You leaders have changed their positions on key points of church doctrine at many times in your history.

You declare as God-approved, ... behaviours which the Jewish and Christians faiths condemned long ago (polygamy).

Etc. ... etc. ... etc.
I understand that defending the above ... would be quite difficult.

So ... it doesn't surprise me when ...
... a poster starts to judge me ... rather than my argument,

... or when a poster hits the abuse button ... rather than address the argument,

... or when a poster begins to post non-relevant pictures,

... or when a poster simply declares an argument wrong without bringing forth any evidence,

... or a poster just fades away ... from the discussion.
Actually, it would surprise me ... that any of you could raise cogent arguments for the claims of Mormonism ... for that task is well-nigh impossible.

Believe me when I say ... I feel your pain.

But ... also believe me ... when I say that I, and those you meet here who argue for the cause of christianity ... are, largely ... doing just that.

We are really only anti-Mormon in the sense that, ... we believe that you should know the truth.

And ... so long as you are willing to dialogue with us, ... we will continue to present to you the truths of historic christianity ... and the fallacies of Mormonism.

God Bless ...

Quester,I gave you srcipture and everyone of us gave you scripture to the subject the point is you never acknowledge to what is testified by the word of God!

...and what do you give Quester? - redirection and obfuscations!

It matters not because those lurkers who are not caught up in this Nicene of mindset are aware of this cat and mouce play!
