You would know about that, not me. My faith does NOT require me to defend it. The truth of the restored gospel stands on its own.
To admit that you are wrong would require great courage on your part. I understand that if you confronted the fact that everything you believe is a lie - you stand to lose much. Your friends, family, business associates - everything.
Is this not correct?
But, you have been given a great gift here. You can choose to give up what is false for the real Christ.
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Matthew 19: 16-22
The Gospel of Mark - Chapter 10: 29-30
First of all, the New Testament requires that you earnestly contend for the faith...Do you not have to follow the God-breathed words written in the book of Jude? (If you say that you do not have to follow them, then I will note this as another reason that you are not a Christian denomination.)
The New Testament also requires you to be able to give a reason for your hope...name-calling doesn't cut it.
The truth of the restored gospel stands on its own.
What...do you have ruby slippers on and you're clicking your heels?
No matter how many times you repeat that statement...the restored gospel, in part, is a proven fraud. It was on the front page of the New York Times.
You have been given direct evidence, from the mouths of Mormon prophets, that demonstrates that it doesn't stand on its own.
And if it stands on its own...then you should be able to eaisly respond to direct questions with specific answers...so far, you have not done that.
Please provide citations for my name-calling. (you aren't projecting...are you?)
Bwaahahahahahaha, astonishing disconnect there ‘old fella’.
