Well like I said..My chiming in was not in defense of mormon doctrine...It was about being Christlike...
No many Christian (Not Mormon) and Jewish posters I don’t see around here anymore...
But what if your entire Religion is BUILT upon false teachers and false doctrines and wolves in sheeps clothing.
Mormons are wolves in sheeps clothing all of them and many don’t realize they are wolves.
The law was fulfilled in Christ. Read Hebrews.
If you believe in salvation by grace, then why are you defending Mormons who believe real salvation is by works what we do, not what Christ has done.
I can give you quotes by their leaders and from their scriptures.
Then why don’t you witness to Mormons? They are un-believers. They put their faith in ‘the church’ and works to save them and make them gods, not Christ alone.
They condemn the Bible as being corrupt and incomplete and untrustworthy.
Again, I can give you quotes from their leaders (prophets and apostles).
And I don’t sugguest you do read the Book of Mormon. For one, most LDS doctrines are not in it, they are in the Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants.
If you are interested, check out these sites, they are full of information and sources from LDS leaders and scripture.

I don’t preach organized religion, in fact I hate it. Mormonism cured me of that. A lot of people leave Mormonism and become athiests because they are told their whole lives that if Mormonism isn’t the ‘only true church on earth’ then no church is. Getting someone out of Mormonism is a two step approach. First, it is extraction, getting them to see that Mormonism isn’t logical, true, or Biblical. THEN, we love them to the Lord. Sadly, all you see on here is extraction end of it. However, there are freepers who will tell you once they saw Mormonism as false, the same ones who debated them, loved them to the Lord.
I have friends who go to all sorts of Christian churches, Calvary chapel, AoG, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian - it doesn’t matter, but WHAT you believe about Christ does matter.
I apologize for getting frustrated, but I am always concerned when I see people who are Christians who don’t see Mormonism for what it really is.
Good. Have you considered some formal studies? I know several good ones online and even Mood Bible Institute (my alma mater) has some great correspondence courses.
Jesus knows who his true church is...

And Mormons believe it is only them.
Everybody has a different way they reach people for Jesus Christ....
- - - -
So why are you criticizing our way?
You are welcome. We ‘flying inmans’ as we are called here, have a lot of info and source material on Mormonism. Several of us have been Mormon and even more have spent years studying it. We are a good resource.
I do more than just post on the Internet in being a Christian....

So do I. This isn’t my only avenue of ministry either to Mormons or other non believers.
But in order to effectively witness you must be solid on doctrine and the Bible.
How do you deal with people who have left Organized religion without debate? How can you say what we do is wrong?

You are correct. I didn't.
I said that apparently you don't care if MORMONs do.
You don’t know me, yet you hurl an insult... saying: You seem to be well schooled in Oprah’s brand of christianity.
That is an observation based on what you've posted. If you TAKE it as an insult, you are partly right. Take it as a rebuke as well, pointing out that you gloss over some VERY important things the bible teaches, APPARENTLY so that you will not be thought of as a negative person.
Nope - just under tall.
You wanna see my t-shirt?
If they can show from their SCRIPTURES that what they so confidently assert is true; then we might have a starting point for dialog.
You are not going to abolish the Mormon Faith...
Oh yes I am, Satan, so you may as well get used to it.
Did my reply at #149 mean NOTHING to you?
And you are to be commended for this!
I, however, try to reach those who are on the WRONG path; not just those wandering around.
There is room for BOTH of us types of people in God's army.
John 4:34-38
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Back attcha:
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Hindus in the world?
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Muslims in the world?
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Buddhists in the world?
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Sinners in the world?
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Selfrighteous in the world?
What do you think Jesus is going to do with all the Liberals in the world?
If one follows a FALSE christ then they will receive a FALSE salvation.
John 3:18
Maybe?
