Here are a few questions for my Mormon Elder friends (& a big "Howdy" to the Lady LDS Missionaries I've met) ...

1) What about UFO's?

 

2) What is your opinion of Glenn Beck (Blaze Media) who said "You cannot earn your way into Heaven" (@ 19:43)?

3) At the beginning of the Book of Mormon we read, "... if there are faults they are the mistakes of men ..."  Could you please give examples of these errors?

 

4) In the Book of Mormon, how can you tell the "Good Guys" from the "Bad Guys"?

 

5) What is the date of the Testimony of the 3 Witnesses (Cowdery-Whitmer-Harris)?

 

6) Their statement seems to support the Trinity, there is one God who exists in three Persons (Dt. 6:4, Is. 45:5,6; Jn. 6:27, Eph. 4:6; Heb. 1:1-4,8, Jn. 8:56-59; Acts 5:3,4, 1 Cor. 2:9-11): "And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God."  Do you agree?

  

7) Would you be willing read the book of Mark with me for 10 minutes (ESV)?

8) Was Heinrich Hofmann (d. 1911) a Mormon?  If not, please explain his portrait of Christ in the Book of Mormon:

9) Who was Lehi and when did he die?

 

10) What is the meaning of "... the course of the Lord is one eternal round." (1 Nephi 10:19)?

 

11) How many times is the phrase "And it came to pass" in the first 10 chapters of the Book of Mormon?

 

12) How many occurrences of the phrase are in the first ten chapters of the #Bible ?

 

13) Some claim to be modern Apostles (cf. Acts1:21-26, 2 Cor. 12:12):

You claim to be an Elder, do you meet the Biblical qualifications for an Elder  (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Tim. 3:1-7)?

 

14) What do you think of the Young Earth Option and Joseph Smith's comments on the Book of Revelation:

"Beasts have spirits and will dwell in eternal felicity;

This earth has a temporal existence of 7,000 years ...

Christ will come in the beginning of the seventh thousand years;

Two prophets will be raised up to the Jewish nation."

15) Does this imply that the Lord Jesus Christ will physically return to this planet in the very near future?

 

16) Are you familiar with Melvin Cook, LDS high councilor & author of "Science and Mormonism," who was sympathetic to the Young Earth view:

Deseret News obit for Dr. Cook ...

Thank You Very Much for spending time with me.

 

>> Not By Works !! >>

Rom. 3:20 & 28 ...

"... because by the works of the Law none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin. ...

For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the Law."
