But I’m unaware of any Scriptures wherein Christ “counseled” His people to refuse to answer questions concerning their faith and beliefs, as has been implied on this thread.

6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

In other words don’t share what is of great importance with those who are faultfind, contenious or want to do harm etc

How do you know that I/we are swines and dogs and not pre-Mormons?

Did Christ not say, whosoever believes (John 3:16)?

But resty, these have been questions that Jesus would have answered - what is the way of salvation? And even the Gentile mother was praised by Jesus for her faith. So are you saying that Jesus would deny telling others about something as important as salvation?
