    Mormonism

    If we're talking about missionaries (of any faith) I find the above tends to be true: missionaries tend to be more interested in speaking than listening, to varying degrees. I've never been a missionary and never intend to be. (Edit to fix type-o)

    Mormonism

    Again, I'm happy to answer any question, assuming that the asker is actually interested in the answer (else it's a waste of time). Dude: that's just personal attack. Completely unneeded and destructive to real dialogue.

    Mormonism

    I am literally open to any question, assuming that the asker is actually interested in the answer (else it's just a waste of time). Other folks are more reserved / don't come to generic-Christian forums because commonly LDS Christians are treated very badly on generic-Christian forums, and...

    Mormonism

    Note: it is helpful to "disprove" things which are actually believed, rather than straw-man arguments. Too often I see folks of faith X "disproving" a point that they claim Y believes, but in reality Y folks don't actually believe that. I'm using 'X' and 'Y' here because I've found that this...

    Mormonism

    I am more than happy to answer any question, assuming that the asker is actually interested in the answer. I did start thread a while back starting where I felt was most important: What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ If you want to talk about Joseph Smith particular, I can do...

    True or false?

    For me, speaking in tongues is not about speaking in glossolalia (words that regular folks don't understand). As I read Acts and other books, I see the gift of tongues being used to speak in words that people can understand-- speaking in that person's own tongue so that they can better...

    True or false?

    I am where I am because that's where my Lord Christ commands me to be. I acknowledge and respect that other reach other conclusions, but for me, I must go where my Lord commands me. Yes, but more than just hough that channel. Being able to get down on my knees, pray, and communion with God...

    True or false?

    People often use that same argument against Christianity as a whole. I'm a fan of learning and critically thinking: don't believe anything just because someone told you. Rather, I go out and experience things myself. That's part of the reason I've studied dozens of faiths in their own worship...

    True or false?

    Yes: I thoroughly believe that God continues to speak to His children.

    True or false?

    Culturally LDS Christians use the KJV, and I personally really like the old school English. I do own several other translations, such as NIV. Most modern translations are pretty good, with the obvious glaring except of the JW New World Translation (which is junk).

    True or false?

    Literally every single sentence in those videos in 100% false. They are not remotely accurate as to what LDS Christians actually believe. They are not designed to actually bring anyone to Christ, but rather a bunch of lies and serve the father of lies. They are downright disgusting: both in...

    True or false?

    Nancy, literally every thing that post says is complete bunk. Quickly recapping actual LDS Christians beliefs: 1) LDS Christians are monotheists that believe the Father, Son, and Spirit are 3 different persons in 1 God. 2) Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. The Father is the Father of all...

    How do you let people know you’re a Christian?

    It's just part of who I am, and they get to know the same way they come to know anything else about me. It doesn't have to be something specail.

    True or false?

    They didn't have a phone? I'm a little skeptical of that. I respect your belief in that regard, even if I don't share it. For me, God a living being that continues to speak to His children- just because He said one word does not mean He can't/doesn't say another.

    True or false?

    CoreIssue, I've already repeatedly discussed the inaccuracy of you "sources" and claims before. Many times. Everytime I was completely ignored by you, and do not see a reason to repeat the cycle with you again.

    True or false?

    The Bible is on their electronic device, along with all the resources for their study. The cultural shift is really away from paper. Like this week's Sunday School reading over the Prodigal Son and leaving the 99 to find the 1.

    True or false?

    They do.

    True or false?

    Again, real faith. The type that changes a person into a disciple of Christ. Not cheap grace. As I explained earlier: non-Protestants don't draw a line between what is "salvation" and what is "sanctification". Everyone believes that a disciple of Christ should follow Him. Well, that's a...

    True or false?

    Complete bunk. Even the "sources" cited aren't real LDS Christian doctrinal sources. If you want me to address any of these "points", I happily do so. I just don't no where would be a profitable place to start.
