I repeat the quote I posted in #404: If the verse is true, then the only possible explanation for failing to obtain the result promised is a failure to meet the terms. That is, one must lack a sincere heart, and/or real intent, and/or faith in Christ. If one believes the verse is true then one must obtain the answer promised, or face an embarrassing judgement of one's sincerity, intent, or faith in Christ. he seeker is forced into convincing himself he has had some kind of manifestation from God, just to vindicate his own character. Or worse, he is moved to a frame of mind where he will gladly and indiscriminately embrace any supernatural manifestation as though it were from God.

Plain reason, not to mention all the force of Scripture's revelation of the character of God, testifies that God would not, does not, use such manipulative mind/ego games against the human family to bring them to believe the truth. God does not approve, and truth does not need, such machinations.

DUs comment here: "Or if one sincerely prays and does not get an answer, over time say a year or two, then one could conclude that God is not going to answer you, and the Book of Mormon is false. To my knowledge that has never happened and I've been doing this for a while."

"In my experience, if an Anti Mormon tells you he has received a testimony the book of Mormon is wrong and you start to get "the details" you catch them lying about something (like even reading the book...). There are also people who used to be members who have testified of the Book of Mormon, and Joseph smith who now testify against him, They are suspect, because they are perjurers before God, either then, or now."

This is a prime example of the demeaning and besmirching treatment meted out to anyone who does not report that their answer to the "test" has met mormon requirements.

If any of you reading here are seriously thinking about taking this "test of God", be forewarned about posting any negative results. You may be called "liars" and "perjurers before GOD!"

Some posters think they can read other's minds. I've prayed about, lived and believed Mormonism. God and His Word changed my mind.

Take THAT for taking the stupid little double-blind test of Mormonism. What a JOKE!

(I don’t care what people call me. I know who and what I am, so someone else’s perspective doesn’t bother me.)

I DO understand what you’re saying, though. Some people just don’t get it.

Just a question, how is my experience with Anti Mormons besmirching, or in any way related to what others will encounter?

Maybe if anti Mormons were nicer, they wouldn't have a such a bad reputation, I didn't realize you guys had such tender feelings about it...
