~”Most people I observe opposing the doctrines of the LDS, do so by placing their faith in Christ and studying His Word.”~
I agree. The genuine anti-Mormons are few in number, albeit annoyingly loud.
~”Some appeal to rationalism, which essentially appeals to the soul, rather than to the spirit.
Some simply witness through faith in Christ, remaining in the spirit and manifesting sanctified mind, soul and spirit.”~
Yes. Most fall into the categories you list. However, some choose to hate, lie, deceive, rail, and insult. It is my theory that such do not know Christ. They have chosen a different master, though they hide behind a veil of piety and faith. Of such ilk is the genuine anti-Mormon. Of such ilk is any religious zealot who uses despicable tactics to tear down another faith.
Other tactics don’t tear down false or true faith, they merely manifest lack of faith through Christ.
Me!
Me!
Me!
Me!
