Maybe God allows these things to test us. Are we going to believe Jesus and his word or not! Faith in the word of God...in JESUS Christ is the ONLY way to heaven.

Corking....It would serve you well to lay off those magic mushrooms...

Corking,
May I suggest to go to Witnessing to Mormons How to Witness to Mormons the Truth in Love
It is called speak the truth in love to Mormons. You can also purchase the book called that. I find that this is a better approach when used when we have the chance for witness. What seems so clear to the Christian doesn't carry over to those in the LDS. Confrontation doesn't usually produce what we ultimately want....belief in Christ, Christ of the Bible.

for the record, on a more serious note, corking, if you would like to be taken seriously, you should at least check your sources. if you tell me i'm going to hell because i believe that Jesus personally pulled all of my relatives (back to adam and eve no less) out of the pit when i was baptised, then i'm going to smile, shake your hand, and say:

"well, good thing we don't believe that! suppose that makes me heaven-bound, huh?"

aaron out.

Yeah, I was wondering where she came up with that one, myself.

You are the kind of person that give Christians a bad name...so full of hate and telling people that if they dont believe in YOUR beliefs they are going to Hell..You are teaching the EXACT opposite of what Jesus says in th bible....I think you might need to get some help.

to someone like me who isn't very religious ,i find that the 'morman bashing' threads generally end up making the mormans look good.those who seek to 'save' the mormans often dont even have enough grasp of what mormans actually believe to know what they are trying to save them from.many 'christians' have a very narrow definition of who qualifies as a 'real' christian.catholics and mormans consider themselves to already be 'christians'.i and about 85% of america consider ourselves to be at least nominally 'christian' but it seems the authors of most of the 'bashing'threads feel that only about 5-10% of the 85% are smart enough to get it 'right enough' to avoid damnation.i dont see any mormans on here starting 'baptist bashing'threads every week....perhaps they are secure enough in their beliefs that they feel no need to belittle others beliefs to further theirs.im not morman....never been in one of their churches...but thier calm,rational defense of thier beliefs in various threads have given me a generally more positive opinion of them and thier religious beliefs while my opinion of the 'bashers' has gone in the opposite direction.my basic point is that some of you out to 'save mankind and the mormans too' really need to take a look at your strategy and tactics,however wellmeaning,if you want to be taken seriously and attract rather than repel people from considering your point of view

by their fruits, ye shall... what was it, eat fruit salad?

ok, seriously. no one is perfect, and on some level i can respect corking (and others') attempts to save everyone out there. but i seriously think that there are other, more efficient, more respectful, and more Christlike ways to do it. i think for one, live what you preach. as another poster shared, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care, and it is very hard to let people feel how much you care on the faceless, anonymous internet. but it is even harder when you belittle their faith, tell them that they are ignorant and hellbound, and generally stomp their beliefs and ideas into the dirt with iron heel your crusade.

that is one of the reasons why i think a moderate, friendly tone, and an open mind, even toward those that you really think are out there, is not only better for humanity and a healthy society, but also for religious coexistance and understanding.

aaron out.
