Always be careful when exchanging with a Mormon. Their religion is very different from Christianity.

First let me say, that I think most Mormons are very nice, law abiding, good people. Having said that, I usually DO NOT have discussions with Mormons, because I always first tell them that I think the Book of Mormon is a fairy tale, possibly written by Joe Smith, with the intention of selling his story to make money. I do not know for sure, but Smith might not have even been trying to start a new religion, but it took off and he just went along with it. After that, they usually don't wish to talk about it. So be it, but they, and others, engage in cult speak. Their terms mean different things to us. We have to define our terms, or we are not speaking the same language. They are bringing a different gospel to us, and you know what Paul said about that. Look, I have had Mormon, and other cult friends in the past, but in order to stay friendly, we had to refrain from talking about spiritual issues. My MIL is with the INC. That is an exercise in futility, but we hang in there. That is what Dr Walter Martin told me personally a couple of times. 😇
