“I disagree when you say that I have no way of knowing whether something is of God or of a demon.”
And that would be simply an opinion with no facts, logic or evidence. Again.
“We all are born with an inborn knowledge of good and evil which God has given us a way to judge between what is of God and what is of the devil.”
Can you give me a Bible verse citation on that...
“It is the light of Christ — which is “the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9)
Bad translation, by the way. It is Christ coming into the
world, not every man. That doesn’t not mean Satan cannot
deceive you.
“This light allows us to discern what is of light and what is of darkness.”
No, that isn’t what the verse means, Normandy.
“It is a gift and a guide that can lead a man or woman to Christ, if they do not harden our hearts and “quench the Spirit” (1 Thess. 5:19)”
Again, wrong understanding of the passage. It doesn’t say
it will guide you. Only Christians have the Spirit of the
Bible. You are quoting a passage that was written to the Church
of Christ. The Church that condemned mormonic teaching.
The Christ that was neither created nor made, but is
and was and will be eternally God.
Again, no facts, no evidence, no logic. You have feelings
that support your feelings.

/YAWN Is this Mormon bashing babblefest still going on in here? LOL what was I thinking. Of course it is. Opposition to all things after all.
Undecided readers,
If you peruse the Free Republic religion forums you will notice a pattern. There’s an anti-Mormon group of people here that spends a great deal of their time attacking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They post regurgitated propaganda on an almost daily basis.
They have a misguided obsession. You can witness many different tactics employed that you might find quite interesting. The straw man argument is a big favorite and is frequently preceded by cherry-picking quotes or other material. After the “quotation” the attacker will misrepresent what has been said or what was meant and then attack their own interpretation. You’ll likely see perfect examples of just this shortly after I post.
Sometimes they cruise the headlines of the day seeking any story that might be twisted into making the Church look bad. Anything will do, just watch the progression of posts following it and see what I mean.
After reading their posts, I invite you to seek the truth about whatever “issue” they seem to be “revealing” or “exposing”. I promise that if you do so with honest intent, the “ahah” moments you will have will be many and frequent. You will start to recognize the tactics employed to cleverly twist and attack and will likely chuckle the more you see. In actuality, there’s nothing new here. It’s all been addressed many times before.
Here’s a few links to get your started from a different viewpoint. I have found that the vast majority of the “issues” brought up can be found and addressed at http://www.fairlds.org/ but here’s more:

Now you will likely notice the “you never address our points” posts pop up as usual. All after providing the answers just as you have here. Will you wear blinders too? Seek truth. Find out for yourself.
