Bible Question: thanks for helping me.....as it is...I sometimes call myself "just a dumb ole girl" honestly I'm not that dumb...but i sort of am that dumb ole girl when it comes to scripture...having told you this let me add.. I dont know much, but i know Jesus saved me.. so...when I tried to tell my mormon friend about what i have read thus far, here in this message site., my friend totally turned off.. especially when i said "mormans were a cult"..my friend refused to listen..(as well i would have done if anybody tried to tell me i was learning from a cult),, (i'm baptist). I need some more help with showing my friend (in a gentle way) he needs to get away from that morman church.. i could chapter and verse him till the cows come home but since i dont know chapter and verse myself and he probably wouldnt go read them if i gave them to him .. Please try to help me get him to understand with words we use today.. like from the 21st century...AND yes i want help from all of you..Thanks P.S. I know I don't need to know every detail (or) even anything) in the bible..as long as I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for me..and through Him I am saved John 3:16.. I know some stuff from the bible but not enough to get my mormon point across ...C |
Bible Answer: Has your mormon friend done his mission yet? If so, you've got a well-trained person on your hands. A mormon who has completed or is in the midst of their mission is very difficult to debate. Unless one is at least equally well-versed in the Word of God, they'll get you every time - they are prepared for just about any argument you can think of, except the one I'm about to suggest. This one method that can stop them in thier tracks will cost you time and research - look up several non-Messianic prophecies and show their fulfillment in secular sources, i.e. an historian or encyclopedia. Then look up several Messianic prophecies, along with those fulfillments, secular as well as biblical sources. Then ask your friend to do the same with his "bible." He won't be able to do it. (P.S. You can google biblical prophecy and Messianic prophecies, and you can probably find the secular citations of the fulfillments online as well.) (P.P.S. If nothing else, this exercise will edify yourself as you grow in the knowledge of the Scriptures.) |
