LOL! Exactly where I fell off the log.
Grig, my granddaughter, who lives with us, will be carefully taught that polytheism and Christianity are incompatible, that the Jesus of Mormonism is that false Christ of which the true Christ warned us, that this American experiment with Gnosticism initiated by Joe Smith is the same kind of error the Apostle John warned us was coming, and to have nothing to do with it, because it is of the spirit of antichrist. See 2 John 1:10-11.
It is sad then to see you translate our sincere effort to obey the teachings of Jesus and his apostles as hatred toward you. It is not.
Let me ask you a question. What does love do for the one loved? If I see my child run into a busy street, do I calmly ignore it? Or do I go yelling after the child and give myself no rest until they are safely out of harm’s way?
What you see as hatred, we see as love. We do not want souls lost. We have seen the desolation of being lost, because at one point we ourselves were hopelessly trapped in the prison of unforgiven sin. Jesus saved us. He is the eternal God, and there is only one God who saves souls, and he will not give his glory to another. Believe me when I say, more loving words than those do not exist in this or any other language.
Well, *you* predicted that we’d think alike on a lot of issues.
I guess you were right.
