So what is the name of your anti Mormon web site on line or do you work for one? You should get a nice size bonus this Christmas for all of the propaganda you posted this year.

Resty, I love you. I really do. Not being sarcastic. You are already "worthy" in God's eyes. Not because of anything you've done. But because you are a person of tremendous worth.

Of such worth, Jesus Christ died for ALL of your sins (and mine) and for your sin nature you had at birth -- a sin nature that was mine as well.

He did that because of His graciousness. He freely extends that grace -- as free as the loving gifts your own parents gave you at any Christmas as you grew up. Because He loves you like your parents did; only infinitely more.

Your parents didn't give you conditional Christmas gifts. They loved you because you were you. And if you've been a parent, you know that from experience. Think of the pure love in your heart when/if you've gifts to your child/children.

(Saundra, Ripliancum, Normandy, Jeff...the same above is so for you as well)

Restornu, I know you want to superimpose false motives on why somebody does what they do. It's easier to explain someone having $ motives than to think they do so for the plain reason of truth and tough love.

Restornu, there's no linkage $-wise to anything I've posted.
I don't charge anybody for anything.
No Mormon article I've posted links back to any Web site I've had a hand in constructing or leading.
I receive no compensation other than what the Lord Himself gives me DIRECTLY. (He Himself is my "compensation" - my Treasure -- in life)
Although I see nothing wrong were somebody to do this and tell their supporters about their ministry to Mormons, I don't even do that.

Truth is truth. The Living Truth (Jesus, John 14:6) is Living Truth. Just as we follow Him wherever He goes, and bow down at His Great Name, we follow truth where it leads and serve its bidding.

If you want to accuse me of spreading "propaganda," I cannot make you stop uttering falsehoods. If you believe it's "propaganda," it's up to you to try to prove it.

Most of the time you and your fellow Mormons don't even try that course. Instead, on occasion, some of you resort to spreading false motives, another sin. I forgive you for spreading a false rumor. I forgive you for impugning my inner motives.

Restornu, one of the great things about this forum is that I've been able to meet people like you and Saundra and Ripliancum and Normandy and Jeff. You are real people. You share what's on your heart and mind. You've been willing to invest in a "relationship" of sorts with some of us Flying Inmans.

It may not be what you prefer it to be. But it is for what it is...a relationship built around a common interest in all things Mormon...Mormon culture...Mormon truth claims...the Bible...the Gospel and competing Gospel accounts, etc.

I want to thank you -- and those Mormons I've interacted with -- for taking the time to invest in this relationship. Getting down to what is true under layers of religion is a struggle. But a necessary one.

So, to wrap this up. Back to compensation. My "compensation," Resty is people like you. I get the unique privilege of getting to know wondrous people like you, and Saundra, and Ripliancum, and Normandy, and Jeff. People that the Lord has uniquely created. People that the Lord has blessed mightily. People that He wants a full reconciliation as they are; and not simply an "ideal" that we always tend to strive for to "present" to God as "hopefully" (hopefully in the weakest sense of that word) will accept.

We're already accepted. In Christ. In HIS righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30); not ours.

On that end, please have a wonderful and joyous Christmas, Restornu. Know that you are loved. And appreciated. Just for who you are.

It's been my privilege to having met you. And loved you. Including loving you with the truth. And THE (Living) Truth.

Merry Christmas, Restornu! May the Christ child who was the Son of God from eternity past be the One who embraces you like Mary embraced that child during those manger days.
