I am not mad or angry or hateful at Mormons in the least. I love Mormons. I do hate the fact that their leadership lies to them. Your comment was beyond personal, completely uncalled for, and with no basis in reality. My perspective is just fine. If I hated them I wouldn’t bother witnessing to them or telling them to get out of a burning building.

And yet we have your intense, laser-like focus on Mormons. and your insistence that others share your position. To the disinterested observer it seems strange and obsessive. Just saying....

And why would I ‘cultivate a different crop’??!?!

Maybe because it's better to focus on something fresh and healthy, rather than just refighting those old battles from your past, time and time again. As it is, you seem to be stuck in a very narrow trench. Again, just an observation.

You have spent several posts insulting me, I am beginning to think perhaps YOUR perspective is skewed.

Perhaps you should look back at what you said that caused me to take issue with your comments to me.

Yeah, we can just imagine you being the apostle Paul's self-appointed spiritual advisor, r9etb. You begin by looking over the past several-year itinerary of Paul -- once Saul, a former zealous proselyte of Judaism -- revisiting those old Synagogue "haunts."

R9etb's 'Lecture of Lectures' [when you get to the italicized content, ask yourself...Hmm...where have we heard that before?]:

"Paul," says r9etb, "I see you hit up the Salamis synagogue." (Acts 13:5)
"Then on to the Pisidian Antioch synagogue." (13:14)
"Then you went to the Iconium synagogue." (14:1)
"And after that, Paul, I see you went to the Thessalonian synagogue." (17:2)
"Hmmm...Now, Paul really. Then the Berean synagogue?" (Acts 17:10)
"And the Athens synagogue, too?" (17:17)
"And Corinth? You went to the Corinth synagogue as well?" (18:1)
"And then on to the Ephesus synagogue?" (18:19), thereby encouraging Apollos to go there, too? (18:26)
"And the Ephesus synagogue wasn't enough to go there once? You just had to return there after visiting Corinth?" (19:9)

"I mean really, Paul. 'Maybe because it's better to focus on something fresh and healthy, rather than just refighting those old battles from your past, time and time again. As it is, you seem to be stuck in a very narrow trench. Again, just an observation,' Paul."

"Paul, 'we have your intense, laser-like focus on' Jews. 'and your insistence that others share your position. To the disinterested observer it seems strange and obsessive,'Paul. 'Just saying'....

My ‘laser like’ focus is because it is where I am called. Why don’t you get that. I’m not re-fighting my old battles, I am trying to prevent others from making the same mistakes I did and to show the LDS the truth about their religion and Christ they way I was shown.

Bottom line, if God wants me elsewhere, and to witness to a different group. He (not you) will put me there. Do not assume that I am so hyper-focused that I do not listen to the Spirit or that this has a negative impact on my walk.

Your observations are incorrect and frankly unChristian. Most Christians have a concern for all lost, even if they are called to a specific group, but you want to seem to give the LDS a pass.

What is with your ‘love fest’ with Mormons? What is your religion/faith/tradition?
