“Listen to this ‘teacher’ who fills young minds full of mush with arrogance and pride.”
As LDS the one filling my mind is the Holy Spirit teachers can lead but the drinking is in the Spirit of the Lord.
Those who have a desire to learn and know the things of the Lord are the ones who received a witness of the Holy Ghost
When that occurs it has nothing to do with how the world preceives so arrogance and pride has no presents.
Each LDS is responsible for the all their action and knowledge that they gain in this life.
Like the Ten Virgins and the oil in their lamps, it can not be bought at your local gas station or school of higher learning.
So when this statement is made
“We really aren’t obligated to answer everyone’s questions...”
“You already know MORE about God and Christ and the plan of salvation than any who would ATTACK you.”
It is all the time spent one on one with the Lord in study and prayer.
The LDS lessons have always been on those counsel in the Bible
COME FOLLOW ME

and also Jesus said “LEARN OF ME”
Matt. 9: 13
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matt. 11: 29
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
John 6: 45
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
That's because they can't.
They might BELIEVE that they know more about stuff; but they find out real quick they were fooled by the smooth talking professor when a knowledgable Christian starts asking them questions.
