But sanctify
the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give
an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the
hope that is in you with meekness and fear. I
Peter 3:15
Study to show thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:15
A common
question asked of Christians who make an effort to
witness to Mormons is: "Why are you attacking
Mormonism? We never malign your faith, so why
attack ours?"
The fact is,
proving Mormonism to be a false doctrine is not an
attack but a defense of the Christian faith.
Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism made the first
attack by claiming that all Christian denominations are
an abomination in God's sight.
If a Latter Day
Saint should ask you this question, you need only look
as far as their own scriptures and to the words of their
leaders for an answer:
Journal of
Discourses 5:73--"When the light came to me I saw
that all the so-called Christian world was groveling in
darkness."
Journal of
Discourses 8:99--"With a regard to true theology, a
more ignorant people never lived than the present
so-called Christian world."
Journal of
Discourses 6:25--"What! Are Christians
ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as
the brute beast."
Orson Pratt
(Mormon Apostle)--"..all other churches are entirely
destitute of all authority from God; and any person who
receives baptism of the Lord's supper from their hands
highly offend God, for he looks upon them as the most
corrupt of all people" (The Seer, pg 255)
Heber C. Kimball
(First Counselor to Brigham Young)--"Christians -
those poor, miserable priests Brother Brigham was
speaking about - some of them are the biggest
whoremasters there are on the earth..." (Journal of
Discourses 5:39)
