“Do you see your efforts as doing God’s work?

In the course of the last several years, have at least three FREEPER Mormons become true Christians? (Answer: Yes) “

Only three? Somehow I think you are creating more enemies than converts.

No offense to any Mormons here, but I could care less about the Mormon faith. With that said I find your threads/rants hostile and provocative. I have to say if I was a Mormon this tactic would not persuade me to convert.

I suggest if you want more converts, more than three, you try a new game plan.

On the provocative part, good.

Being challenged to respond to counterfeit falsehoods is a good thing -- 'cause the opposite tends to be desensitization to those given falsehoods & deception.

Somehow I think you are creating more enemies than converts...I have to say if I was a Mormon this tactic would not persuade me to convert.

Sorry, but MormonsISM as its been historically laid out already regards Christianity in a hostile manner.

For example, it's not very "cozy" for Mormons to label us Christians as "apostates" living a heritage of apostasy...but they do. (Yet somehow, YOU, Morgana, let ALL Mormons off the hook for labeling the entirety of Christianity as "apostate"...If you aren't a Christian, that's understandable...if you are one, that's shameful inconsistency on your part)

When we review Mormonism's supposed founding "vision" -- which conveniently wasn't laid out at the very founding of Mormonism (rather several years afterward) 'tis obvious that Joseph Smith & his Mormon gods regard us as foes...(this is clearly enunciated in its Pearl of Great Price "scriptures")

In that "vision" -- which Mormons tend to regard as "the greatest event in world history since the birth, ministry, and resurrection of Jesus Christ" [see http://josephsmith.net/josephsmith/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=497679179acbff00VgnVCM1000001f5e340aRCRD]...
...Mormonism regards...
* 100% of Christian creeds as an "abomination" -- see Joseph Smith, History, v. 19, PoGP... [I wouldn't call that a "kissy kissy" approach to Christianity, would you?]
* It furthermore (twice) claims every non - Mormon sect is "wrong" (vv. 18-19);
* It also labels ALL professing believers of these Christian sects as "corrupt" (v. 19);
* And Smith claimed to know that 100% of Christians had hearts "far from" the Mormon gods (v. 19)...

In 1 Nephi 14 of the Book of Mormon, the Mormon prophets are said to say only two churches exist: The church of the Lamb, and the church of the devil. Guess who Mormons regard as the Lamb's church (ONLY Mormonism) & by default, where that places Christianity.

I wouldn't call these gauntlets thrown down by Mormonism as persuasive to convert me & most Christians, would you?

So, Mormonism's been doing this for over 180 years...vs. my Mormonism postings on FR..not even a decade...yet, you want to find fault with me. Whatever floats your posts.

I can tell you that I know of at least 2 freepers that have joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, precisely because of his/her anti Mormon tactics and the bad taste coming of these threads. If he/she thinks he/she is doing God’s work... well, the Lord works in mysteries ways.
