You are correct, the truth will stand on its own. That is exactly what I believed when I set out to become an LDS apologist and fight the “anti’s”. What I found out was that the TRUTH stood on its own, while the LDS church and its doctrines fell and fell hard.

Lets look at the verse right before where you started, shall we?

Matthew 7:15 -16 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Christ is speaking here of FALSE PROPHETS, like JS. You will know them by their fruits as well. What is JS’s fruit? Polygamy, bondage, heresy, false prophecies.

I posted this part on another thread, but it fits here as well:

YOU SAID : But the many who are also in the mainstream but their hearts really follow the Lord, Jesus Chirst or they would be over here bashing the LDS!


We do love you resty, that is why we tell you the truth. I don’t think any one of us so-called “antis” want to see you burn in Hell for eternity. That is because we love you, if we did not love you, then we would let you wallow in your false doctrine and heresies and adopt a “live and let live” attitude.

It did not feel like love either when I was LDS and people would witness the errors of Mormonism and the Truth of Jesus Christ of the Bible to me. I took offense. Yet God “wooed” me to Him, and I later came to see that those who “offended” me with the truth loved me more than those who did not.

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? (Galatians 4:16, KJV)
