    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    I bet you were the highlight of their day(s)!!! FWIW: the older man coming wasn't because the young guy was in trouble. Young missionaries regularly get moved around, so they do try to introduce people whom are part of the local congregation, hence the other visitor. I'm sorry the dude was...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    A well reason and respectful post. Thank you. Harmonization of scripture (whether just the 66 Protestant Bible or expanded LDS Christian cannon) is something that takes patience and learning. We've all see those "Look how the Bible contradicts itself!" websites put together by those who've...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Again: I have repeatedly explained how these sites are giving bad information through source manipulation. Trying to tell me to leave a cult is very silly when I see "anti-cult" sources repeat the same misrepresented points over and over again verbatim. I value honesty and critical thinking...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Extremely. Which is why I have clarified things several times, to be ignored and have the same bad information just reposted again.

    Do you care about accuracy here?

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    I literally stated that LDS Christians believe that God the Father is the spiritual father of everyone, making EVERYONE spiritual siblings. Nothing special about Christ and Luicifer. When anti’s highlight just two, omit everyone else, and ignore the extreme differences between them, such is...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    If you want a very inaccurate slanted take, MRM is a great place for that.

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Jesus Christ is the 100% divine Son of God. Always has been: was before making this Earth, after being born of Mary, and after His resurrection. He's the Savior of the world, Messiah, Lord, and Redeemer. He, alone with the Father and the Spirit are 3 persons in 1 God. Forever loving...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    I'm getting the impression that we mean different things when we say that. Alas.

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    I 100% agree that salvation solely comes via faith in God. It is a gift of His grace. We follow Him because we love Him, not to try to somehow buy/earn salvation. I would also encourage you (or anyone) to put aside stereotypes that prevent us from seeing the way God does work in other's...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Actually Ive attended other churches regularly since I was like 6. It's not remotely confusing/intimidating, and helps me better understand/love others, and grow my own theological thinking. It's extremely offensive and inaccurate to have someone say "oh you're just Mormon because you raised...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    (Continued from above) Yes, roughly half adults world wide are converts. Similar to other groups, the most common time to leave is late teens / early twenties, as folks are transitioning into adults and what they themselves believe / want to do. Faith and culture both play a huge role here...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    No worries, I love sharing! Getting to know people of other faith groups is actually why I hang out on religious forums. No reincarnation. The first big difference is that it is believed that a deceased person's spirit still has the opportunity to learn & grow. This is particularly important...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    That's totally ok! I myself have been busy with my new little baby and over-demanding work. Your questions are excellent. My immediate family is LDS Christian, with extended family being all sorts of things ranging from very devout, very atheist, very "I just don't care", etc. I grew up in...

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    A dispels of Christ should reach out to all: bond, free, male, female, black, white, regardless of nationality or creed.

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    You ignored my previous response clarifying what’s actually believed. This website, like most other prostyling ones, has some pretty bad information. Is there something special about it you would me to respond to?

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Since you’re interested in Truth, I shall clarify what’s actually believed. Sadly there is a ton of bad information. Let me know if you want me to elaborate on any point in the morning (it’s super late right now). Jesus Christ is the one and only So of God. He was born of the Virgin Mary...

    Doctrines of Grace

    And what about everyone else? I'm sorry, again I'm trying REWALLY hard to be charitable here, but you're not thinking things through. Whom created the damned with no way to choose good (according to Calvinism) and sentenced them to an eternal fire? God.

    Doctrines of Grace

    I read in scripture about a God whom so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son to die for it. Whom created the world, everything and everyone therein, and know all things beginning to end. I read in the Bible about a God whom sets people free, and offers salvation for everyone...

    Doctrines of Grace

    I agreee that God is not the author of sin. Hence I must reject Systems of thought that result in God being the author of sin. Such as Calvinism.
