Another day...

Tonight was supposed to be a night to finish my homework. Instead I burnt my hand, fell asleep, did laundry, read some chapters, and now blogged.

"Swing and a miss!"

Still, it was a an eventful day and I learned a lot. Specifically some (re-)research about the LDS. (Later-Day Saints) A person at work mentioned recently that he is Mormon though his level of activity is unknown. For those of you who don't know it is essentially considered a "christian cult" for it's warped interperataion of scripture, divinity, and theology. Of all the "christian cults" it is one of the most blatent and yet few seem to be aware. I wasn't at first either. It was only after doing my research on the denominations of christianity that I realized they don't all have the same foundations. Which is sad and part of the reason I am fairly apposed to the concept of groups and denominations within the church. Though they all claim truth and the title they are not equal creations. The Mormonism movement however is more full of holes than the majority of mislead groups. The reason? Satan and the apposing wills of men. People creating "sound" doctrine from what they want to believe which has not been inspired or to serve their own purposes.

This group in particular, though far from alone, is a sheep in wolfs clothing. Claiming to the unwitting that they are a church of Gods design. Activly seeking and moving to the lost, but surrounded by half-truths and flat lies. The shame is their are strong points in the group that are currently weak points in other truly Chirst-rooted churches. Such good things are lost though when damage is being done by the corruption it is built on. From what I have gathered, the group has a tendancy to interperate the scripture so it fits what they want it to say. Because of this, and to no surprise, the groups theology crumbles apart like a stale cookie when put under scrutiny.

I don't mean to bash anyone, Mormon or not, but their is a right and a wrong here. It has been laid out by the divine, proven by heart and mind. It would be smart if, at some point in every christians walk, they lookd into matters like these. It doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Now, I don't expect to have to speak with him about it (though it wouldn't hurt), but when I least expect it these conversations come up at work and I would rather be ready to some small degree. Even if it goes badly I would rather have failed having been prepared then fail having not bothered with it. Below is a text file with collected information about Mormonism. It is at the moment incomplete as it only shows the more negative side, but that should be the concern if we are talking about and concerned with the souls of the lost.
