Though I've never been a Mormon, I descended from Mormons who came from far to settle in...they weren't the original pioneers, but they weren't far behind.
I have many Mormons in my family tree & current extended family.
I love to spend time with them. They are of great value to our Lord.
Many non-Mormon FREEPERS have said on various threads that we face greater enemies, and that therefore we should focus on attention and energies on them.
#1...We all multi-task in all we do. There's no need to present false dichotomies.
But #2 -- more importantly -- Mormons really aren't our enemies at all.
Over several years, I've cited several times on these threads this one verse from the apostle Paul -- Ephesians 6:12:
...our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
So, in a backhanded way, FREEPERs are right in that we all have a common enemy...but they are wrong in reducing those enemies to simply Obama, socialism, Islam, communism, liberals, Democrats, and the like.
Our great enemy is indeed the forces of darkness among the demonic realm.
We don't struggle against "flesh and blood," Paul says. Which means that the BEST way to truly share the Gospel with socialists, Muslims, communists, liberals, Democrats -- and yes, Mormons -- is to get to know them.
Befriend them.
Treat them as family as back-and-forth guests in our homes.
Love them.
Dialogue with them.
Reason with them from the scriptures -- as the apostle Paul did with religious people he disagreed with (Acts 17:2, 17; 18:4).
Even debate with them as long as you keep it respectful (Acts 17:18ff).
And yes, there's even times you "vigorously refute" your religious opponents on a street corner in Temple Square --as Apollo did with Jews (Acts 18:28). But those street corners can be the beginning of ongoing relationships; and not simply serve as "bash central" where "debate scoring points are sought"...
The souls of socialists, Muslims, communists, liberals, Democrats -- and yes, Mormons -- are too valuable to make it all about debate points.
Awesome post.
