To question what others believe only invites a response in kind.
Bring it!

I’m quite sure I can handle it!

I have no doubt about your ability to argue, but do you not want to convince others and bring them into your faith? That is my goal.

There are many different approaches one can take in sharing the Gospel. The Holy Spirit guides us in the correct approach, based upon the audience and circumstances.

The underlying motive is always love for the listener, but sometimes the message has to be blunt in order to get through. Jesus was very blunt on several occasions with the Pharisees when pointing out their hypocrisy. He obviously knew that was the correct approach to take with them.

Typically, when speaking to adherants of cults, like Mormons, an effective method is to call into question the validity of their teachers and to reveal the darker side of their beliefs.

That would be nice; but they have to get OUT of MORMONism first.

All the lovey-dovey ecumentalism in the world will NOT shift a MORMON one bit.

They are trying to convert YOU!!!

ONLY when they SEE that THEIR chosen religion is false, will there be ANY movement away from MORMONism into 'my faith', if it occurs at all.

I'm content to snatch them from the fire and then let others clean 'em up!
