[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

There are some around here who delight in trashing the Mormon faith.

I have studied the teachings of that faith, and I certainly do not agree with much of it. The biggest problem for me as far as Mormonism is concerned, is that it is not supported by the historical record as far as I can tell.

That all said, if you don’t agree with a certain religion, it’s real simple. Don’t join it. Rather than trash other religions, I try to understand my own faith better and I serve as a volunteer at my Church and do everything I can to help it out.

I don’t understand what there is to gain by trashing the LDS. My own Church is far from perfect, we have had huge scandals. As my uncle once said, “he who lives in glass houses, should not sleep in the raw.”

HMMMmmm...

The BIBLE has said a LOT about 'other faiths'.

I'll bet the church you have chosen to attend has as well...

Mormonism is not Christianity. FYI -->

Christian churches teach belief in God as an eternal, self-existent, immortal being, unfettered by corporeal limitations and unchanging in both character and nature. In recent years, several Christian denominations have made studies of Mormon teaching and come to the conclusion that there are irreconcilable differences between LDS doctrine and Christian beliefs based on the Bible.

• Statement of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod
• Statement of the Presbyterian Church (USA)
• Statement of the Roman Catholic Church
• Statement of the Southern Baptist Convention
• Statement of the United Methodist Church
• Statement of the Assemblies of God Church

Some Mormons undoubtedly become Christians, and evidently leave the Mormon sect they were members of behind.

Catholics 'trash' Protestantism all day long on FR.

What do THEY expect to gain from it?

The Bible does not give ME this easy way out option.
