SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Friday the creation of 58 new missions, including one in Utah.
The announcement came after the LDS church saw a drastic increase in members interested in serving missions following LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson's October announcement that the church would lower the age of mission eligibility to 18 for men and 19 for women.

To their credit unlike the Mormons the Jews/Noahides do not actively recruit they simply present another point of view. That some of the disaffected take it too extremes is simply a mark of rebellion and anger.

Pretty much what the Noahide Rabi said.
Funny really, he thanks me for understanding and asked me to pray for the person I had talked to him about.
Very nice man.

And no hostility.
You keep making false claim, yet have posted NO facts, evidence or logical argument that supports your claim. It is becoming hard to take you seriously.
Nothing in your post is true of Christianity.
Becoming a Noahide will leave you in your sins, with a terrible price to pay for eternity. Even worse, and more importantly, you will miss the AMAZING love of God. I feel deeply for your loss.
You have a chance here and now to actually grapple with the very issues you are raising, but after lots of big statements, you fail to bring accurate thought to those issues.
All progress starts with telling the truth. Being some truth to discuss and let’s talk about it.
“There’s no point in debating this any further because it’s not getting any of us anywhere.”
No kidding! You promised a “long list of scriptural evidences,” and gave a repetition of something you said earlier that wasn’t even more than a few sentences, which included no scripture. And now you run off, without a bang, but a whimper.
“No matter what evidence I give it will not convince you that you (’you’ being Christians) that your translations of the Hebrew Bible are incorrect.”
You must live in an alternate dimension where you actually provided a coherent argument.
“Nothing you say will convince me that you are right and that jesus is the savior and messiah.”
Of course I can’t.
1Co_12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Only the Holy Spirit can cure you of your blindness, and turn your stoney heart into a heart of flesh.
“No matter what evidence I give it will not convince you that you (’you’ being Christians) that your translations of the Hebrew Bible are incorrect.”
I have Hebrew scriptures on my computer. I can check anything you post. The only thing that will convince me is if you tell the truth, and I confirm it is true.
“Nothing you say will convince me that you are right and that jesus is the savior and messiah.”
That isn’t an issue of my convincing you. It is an issue of your hard (probably hurt) heart. The great news is that God can speak directly to your heart. It is His job to draw people to Himself, not mine. I can only love them.
So far, we haven’t debated anything. You’ve not even responded to everything I posted in response to you. I was hoping you would be open not to a debate, but to a discussion among friends. I have not interest in debate. Discussion? Sure!

Elsie, You sound like you’re upset with what is going on in the mormon church (you think it’s wrong) but you’re still a mormon? Maybe I misunderstood you. You grew up in the church I presume.
I grew up in a church that I eventually left. I won’t mention the church, but as a young adult I started to study and research and realized I must leave. Actually my mom left first and she was shunned by her own mother, siblings and other family members and friends, for a while. She was a prayer warrior and for years prayed for these people and spoke the truth in love to those who would listen. Within 2 years 85-90% of them left that church and followed God; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. She died a few years ago of cancer. You knew watching her die that she found peace with God and happy she was brave enough to turn to him and not worry about what people thought, but what God said. I know she heard the words; Well done good and faithful servant.....
Be brave. Study the truth of the bible, not just what a 14 year old boy said.
The last thing Elsie would be is a Mormon...

I apparently jumped into a discussion over my head. Why did he post the last sentence?
E’s posts are exposing mormonism not trumpeting it.
Sorry Elsie. Great discussion that I need to watch and not comment on until I understand the players.
Yep, Elsie has been known to confuse some.
(psst very good person except they love their goats.....creepy like creatures - except in stew)
He plays Mormon in a devils advocate sort of way LOL...
A Personage’s advocate; if you please!
Laugh all you want; fellow Elsie-like HATEFUL bigot!
He's more DEVIL than advocate!!
Why ELSE would he conTINue to post facts from MORMONism's history???
Doesn't he KNOW we do not publically acknowledge that any of that ever occured?
--MormonDude(Go on: search thru PD's old links iff'n y'all don't believe me...)
Sorry, Mr. Goat or Miss Goat........you are one creepy looking creature.
Well, I’m still waiting for your evidence... Are you still typing?
