I don't know if you are familiar with my posting history (I know Jeff is) but I am NOT a Mormon and indeed, I am a Former Mormon. That being said, I do not believe it is either fair or proper to use a man's religious beliefs as a club to use as proof that they cannot think logicially or rationally because they are a member of the LDS Church, or Bhuddist, or Hindu, or any other spiritual belief system (Islam excluded for obvious reasons).
FWIW the Traditional Historical Christian religion does not pretend to be a "rational" belief system. Indeed, Paul admonishes us that it is, in fact, totally irrational and that to the "natural man" it is foolishness.
IOW Christianity is objectively as irrational as any other religion and in order to be a Christian, or a Mormon, or just about any other religion (I would include evolutionist in that category) you have to suspend rational belief and accept certain doctrines or historical events on faith.
So in this case I would admonish you not to pretend that you think more rationally than the author of this thread or Jeff Head or anyone else simply because they have for whatever reason embraced the LDS Church and God in his grace has led you to believe in the manner in which you now believe.
There is no rational basis for a belief in the Gospel of Christ. It is something that makes no sense at all until you have embraced it, then it makes all the sense in the world.
So that being said, I think you owe it to Edward and Jeff and to Mormons in general to retract your statement. It is neither true, nor a good witness for Christ.
“So that being said, I think you owe it to Edward and Jeff and to Mormons in general to retract your statement. It is neither true, nor a good witness for Christ.”
I do not agree, and I think your statements ARE NOT a “good” witness for the Lord Jesus. NEVER defend what is not defensible...mormonism is not defensible. It is his choice, but it is the wrong one.
BTW - You would do well to read more C.H. Spurgeon (posted on your page) than the watered down gospel in the form of the (also posted) Four Spritual Laws. The theology of the two are opposed. Spurgeon would never go for such things. He certainly would NEVER speak in defense of a heretical cult.
