09/14/24 "saints" IN NAME ONLY

DETAILED ACCOUNT WITNESSING TO LDS
Two young women came by to "read scripture," to me. How nice was that? (smh)

They apparently were sisters because they were wearing badges that said they were. Their badges also said they were with The Church of Jesus Christ...

One of them was Sister Nunn. I asked if she gets a lot of reaction to her name? (She laughed). I asked them if they were Catholic.

They said, "No."

I told them, "I am catholic, but not Roman Catholic." "Sister Jensen" asked what the difference was. (I think she was the leader of those two LDS "missionaries.")

I told them that the word "catholic" means universal because there is only one church, which believes in Jesus, but Roman Catholics are separate from the one true Church. Bible believing Christians confess, "we believe in the holy catholic church." (The one true church.)

I pointed out that Jesus founded His Church, and there is only one true Church, which has existed since the time of Christ.

I then asked them, "Who founded your church?"

They stood dumbfounded and eventually said, "What does that mean?"

I gave them time to think about it and then repeated my question.

Again, they asked what I meant.

I told them that they knew what I meant: then I told them that Jesus founded my church, and Joseph Smith founded their church around 1824.
"DO you believe Joseph Smith founded your church?

They then said that Joseph Smith, "RESTORED THE CHURCH."

I asked, "Why did He restore it?"

They said, "BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN REMOVED."

I asked, "Where does it say that in the Bible?"

Again, they had no answer.

I told them that it is not in the Bible because the Church of Jesus Christ was never removed from the world. Therefore, it could not be restored, and the religion that Joseph Smith started is not the true Church.

They asked where it says that in the Bible, so I gave them a quick Bible lesson.

I recounted the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and how Paul established churches and appointed elders, and the Church has existed on earth since the time of Christ.

I pointed out that they don't believe in the God of the Bible; and they don't believe in the Jesus of the Bible.

To make this point, I asked them if they believed in only one God.
They both quickly said, "yes, we do."

I said, "No, you don't. You know you don't, and I know you don't, and you should be honest about it." I reminded them that God said in the Bible, "...there was no God before me, and there will be no God after me... I know of no other God."

I said, "Do you believe that men who follow your teaching will become gods?"

They said, "Yes."

I said, "You see, you don't believe in only one God.

The leader was then very irritated and said, "We are not being confrontational."

I said, "I am not being confrontational either, I am just sharing information."

She said, "All we want to do is teach you the Bible." (It was starting to sprinkle lightly, so I knew they would be leaving soon.)

I told her they couldn't teach me the Bible because they don't even believe the Bible? "But if you ever want to learn what the Bible says, come back, and I will be glad to share with you."

I also said that I doubted they would come back because out of the many Mormons who have told me they would come back, none of them ever did. They have always lied about their beliefs about God, and they always lie about coming back.

How sad that young people with such dedication to false religion are so hardened to God and His truth.
