-Why am I doing this?- I want to show the difference between mormonism and christianity. If you dont know much about mormonism and/or christianity then on the surface it can seem that mormonism is christian. From this I hope that people will see truth, seeds will be planted, people will come to know Christ, and God will be glorified.
-Is this Religism?- No, I do not hate, dislike, look down on, or disdain mormons. I am contending for the faith. This is done in love. I do not expect to change anyone, only God can do that. If you are a mormon and choose to stay mormon, then I am still going to love you.
-What is love without truth?-
“Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace.” ~Timothy Keller
(Eph. 4:14-16)
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
