I have had visits from four different sets of Mormon "elders" doing their missionary work. None of these fuzzy-cheeked "elders" knew as much about Mormon history and doctrine as I do. I asked them numerous questions that pretty much dumfounded them. In particular, I showed them where the Book of Mormon condemns plural marriage and the Doctrine & Covenants (considered by Mormons as an inspired work equal in authority to the Bible)mandates every able Mormon man to engage in plural marriage, with both books citing the practice ln the Old Testamant--the Book of Mormon claiming it to have been an abomination in the sight of God and the D & C Testament asserting that the practice found no condemnation in His eyes.
When I showed each of these Mormon missionaries the conflicting passages from their "scriptures" none of them could explain the discrepancy, but each group promised to confer with someone in the church more knowledgeable than themselves and get back to me with an explanation. I never heard back from any of them.

When confronted with such difficulties, Mormons invariably will rationalize the matter by saying something essentially like this," I might not understand everything about the scriptures, but I have asked God to tell me if Joseph Smith is a true proplet of God and if the Book of Mormon is the true word of God, and God has revealed to my heart that these things are true."

Thus they rest their faith upon the emotional perception that God has come directly to them and confirmed their heresy!

Any one else see the common thread??? Beter knows more than anyone else about everything.
