You do realize that “ye shall know them by their fruits” is talking about false prophets, not the works of believers, don’t you?
I have several LDS friends and we discuss things other than religion but I still use every opportunity presented me to witness the truth of Christ with them, as I do with my atheist friends, wiccan friends, Jewish friends and even strangers.
Christ changed my life, He changed ME. How can I not share that joy with others and want to have them have that too?
Yes I do. A good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree bad fruit. If we are judging fruit by Theological correctness, then of course Mormons produce bad fruit, as do so many others. If we are judging by measure of kindness, compassion, neigborlyness, etc, that is a different question. Typically, a group of Mormons practice better morality, at least at face value, than any other group that I have encountered. Mormon neighborhoods, from what I have heard, have less crime etc. That is why I made the statement about home values.
So, what is the bad fruit that Mormons are producing? Well, Mormonism I guess. But for such an egregious departure from orthodox Christianity, there is something odd in the paradox of better morality associated with false doctrine. Again, and at risk for being flamed again, if I was shopping for a home, and could only know one thing about the neigborhood, I would ask the real estate agent...where do the mormons live?
Christ change my life and changed me also. I dabbled in many different beliefs before becoming a Christian, and I learned from all of them, each was actually a step toward Christ. Recognizing this, I tread lightly on those who appear to be taking the same steps and try to bring them into Christianity not by condemning those beliefs but by affirming Christianity. If I have contributed in any way toward bringing anyone to Christ then my life will have not been in vain. If I contribute in any way to cause others to run from Christ who are almost there, God help me.
