What is it about the LDS Church that inspires so many people to spend their time trying to prove it false or start whole ministries solely on proselyting to the Mormons? I don’t believe that there is any other faith that receives this much attention and whole websites devoted to disproving the claims of the LDS Church. These people often use “evidence” to support their claims and use obscure and unknown writings of the Church to discredit our beliefs. It’s one thing irregardless of your faith to teach about the Gospel of Christ to others. It’s quite another to try to convince others through evidence and interpretation that what you believe is false and wrong. Jesus Christ has taught to love and respect other’s beliefs and way of life. Did Jesus pick and chose who He wanted to teach about His Father in Heaven and how to live your life? According to the New Testament He didn’t, at least from my understanding. Did He teach the Apostles to go out and prove with evidence and to convince the people that what they believe in was wrong? He taught to teach the people irregardless of race or background His Gospel and let the Holy Spirit witness to them what they are taught is of God. I don’t need evidence or testimonies to prove to myself that what I believe is correct or not. That is what the Holy Spirit is for. Evidence and testimonies only support the ideas of what I believe is true. The LDS Church has taught this from the beginning. It is up to the individual to investigate whether or not a certain doctrine is true and to go ponder and pray about it. Sometimes you won’t receive an answer right away but eventually you will. It is taught in the scriptures to put our faith in God not on what you see and on witnessing miracles. The people of Jerusalem witnessed and testified of many miracles that they saw Jesus Christ perform and yet He was still crucified for what He believed in. We are not to sit in judgement in condemning another’s faith or way of life. That is left up to God to decide. I hope that I haven’t offended anyone with this post. If I do please forgive me. I respect everyone’s opinions but I am tired of reading someone’s article or posting condemning my faith and showing “evidence” why my faith in God is wrong and false.
