The scriptures describe the behavior of the reprobate mind which is very prevalent in these daily attacks on another religion.

Excerpt description.

The reprobate on the other hand wants no real knowledge of God (Romans 1:28). Instead of living holy and bringing forth good works, their lifestyle is manifestly different from the saint.

Paul says they are “… filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful” (Romans 1:29-31).

Could it be said that a saved person, washed in the blood of Christ, was a hater of God? Do the saints invent evil things? Reprobates are without understanding, yet John tells the saints concerning false prophets, “ye need not that any man teach you” (1 John 2:27).

Paul goes on to say that these people know full well the judgment of God upon those who do these things, yet they continue to do them. Further, they not only blatantly sin against God, but “they have pleasure in them that do them” (Romans 1:32). No, there is a great gulf fixed between the reprobate and the child of God.

Oh, you mean when the missionaries are knocking on the doors? So, please tell us, are you looking forward to being eternally pregnant? Are you certain you'll be called through the veil?

So you admit that Mormonism is another religion and NOT Christianity!

Excellent! Admitting that you have a problem is the first step toward recovery. Actually, it’s admitting that you are powerless over the problem - the second step is believing in a Power greater than yourself. Since Mormons only believe in gods of longer seniority, not greater authority, than themselves, this second step may be as difficult to take as the first, but we believe that the Lord will help you through this one, too! I’m so happy to see your progress; may God save and bless you!

Reprobate mind - like that of Joseph Smith? He makes Tiger Woods look like a rookie philanderer. Any time he was able to get emma out of the house, he kept his bed warm with any one of about 30+ other women. All the while making it doctrine that lds practice monogamy - as he beds wives of other men and young teenagers.
