I’m not Mormon and have plenty of concerns about the faith. However most of the mormons I’ve met are decent people. I’d love to convert mormons to Christianity but do not think hateful speech is the way to do that.

Frist of all thank you for your well meaning.

I am always puzzled by folks who know many decent LDS who strive to practice to do the Lord’s will want to convert them to Traditional Christianity.

Once upon a time I was mainstream and not fulfilled which cause me to seek after those things written in the Bible that was not being acknowledge. It was an 18 year quest but I found those things of the Lord being honored here on earth.

My conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was by the power of Holy Ghost when I prayed after reading a passages in The Book of Mormon.

Moroni 10

3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

7 And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.

8 And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.

After I read and ponder these words I sincerely prayed with real intend...

I receive a joy of the soul beyond anything the earth could give it was by the power of the Holy Ghost so sweet and comforting and fullfiling to have my quest answered.

All that I have learn about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was taught from Lord Jesus Christ through the witness and power of the Holy Ghost.
