Well... that didn't last long. Met with the missionaries on Saturday and brought out "Gospel through the Ages" which discusses the belief that the LDS believe they can become gods. We talked through that, but it was obvious that they were not equipped to discuss such deep doctrine. They told me that a book like that isn't good to read. But it was written for members of the church, as a teaching guide. I told them that if it's not good to read, then why was it even printed and released? They agreed that the doctrine in it was accurate, then why shouldn't I read it? They then brought up "Mormon Doctrine"!!!! They said that some of the doctrine in there was "iffy". I said, then WHY would an APOSTLE be allowed to write something that the church allowed to be used to lead people astray and why was he allowed to remain in such a high position at the church if he was so wrong? They didn't have any answer. They said they had another appointment and they had to go. I asked them if they wanted to meet again and they said, "oh, yeah." I said, "When?" They said, "We'll call you tonight." That was Saturday night and it's Monday... nothing. So, I'm guessing I'm blacklisted again. I'm going to give them a call if I don't hear anything in a couple of days.
Some people still wonder why I meet with the Mormons. It's easy... I love them. I think they are worth every second of time spent with them. I believe God loves them and I believe they are misled. Period. I refuse to give up on them. Why should I? God didn't give up on me and there were many times He easily could have. We all are loved by God. He wants to see the LDS people come to know Him as the God from Everlasting to Everlasting, all eternity to all eternity. Not as an exalted man with a body of flesh and bones. Not as a man who went through the motions to "become" a god and was even possibly a sinner in his pre-existant life. Read Moroni 8:18, and Isaiah 43:10. He is God forever, no other God formed before or after, because He is God from everlasting to everlasting. There is no other God.
