In fact, you have provided no reason to believe much of anything.

I don't feel the need to proselytize here. My salvation and my relationship with my Savior and God are not the business of anyone, especially one who feels the need to profess loyalty to a religion that considers all Christians fallen away and apostate. I have no desire or need to preach to those who are unreachable...God will do that in His own time.

I have seen this question asked of others with the aim to find a "gotcha" moment. I would never impute that motivation to you though. You seem honest and reliable. So, be satisfied with my answer.

You won't "proselytize" in favor of your beliefs, but you will attack, defame, and belittle my beliefs? That seems rather one-sided.

I do not feel the need to proselytize here either. However, I will defend my faith against unfair or untrue attacks.

If the anti-Mormons stop attacking, I will stop defending.

I can certainly understand your sentiments, we have to deal w/ those “gotcha” moments here on a regular basis. However, the saints in the NT had to deal w/ those types of issues on a regular basis as well. Can you imagine them shirking to tell others what church they belonged to b/c they were afaid of those “gotcha” moments. I think Paul in particular would have come down on them like a load of bricks.

If you’re proud of where you belong you should sing it from the rooftops not be afraid of what man might say. We do so on a regular basis. Do we get hammered for doing so? Obviously. As w/ the early saints, are we proud to do so, absolutely! We stand tall in our proclamation. We fear not what man has to say but rather respect what the Lord would have us testify to.
