I have refrained until now...but who gives a $hit about Mormon doctrine? If it does not agree with the teachings of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Equal with God, (not Lucifer’s brother) it is false and evil teaching. No one can be baptised into salvation, into grace, after they are dead. Flame away, I know I am correct. And Joseph Smith is a nobody...
Why should I "flame away" when I agree??...well, I agree with the exceptance of using a substitution word for potty language.
But, the reason why it's still worth the post is becomes there's 13-14 million people in this country who do care...and they are sending almost 52,000 missionaries out around the world to try to grow that number.
And people who aren't very spiritually wary -- who are spiritually vulnerable -- need to become aware that they are proselytyzing fodder.
Jesus said of the legalists of their day, that they would traverse the earth to make a convert of theirs "twice the son of hell." Religious legalism is often quite zealous.
It would be a detriment to our neighbors, near and afar, to not warn them of the spiritual perils of religious legalism.

I do. But only because I was, for several years, trapped in that cult and the brave Christians (like the inmans here) who fought with me, challenged me, made me mad enough to try to ‘prove’ Mormonism correct and showed me that it COULD NOT be ‘true’ had a huge affect on me leaving Mormonism and coming to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
And I will be forever grateful to them.
