Today I had the privilege to sit down and talk to three young ladies about their faith in Joseph Smith. It was very informative; I got a free book, pamphlet, and dvd. 14 year old Joe saw a pillar of light with Jesus and God and they were like, "hey dude, you're like a prophet now. We're tired of all these denominations in the church go make up another." But with all the information and teaching me the history of Mormonism I gotta say, It's way too silly... The bible makes total sense... Why would you add another book to it that doesn't make any sense? They were very polite and reenforced everything I believe while at the same time told me I need to believe/do more.
The Mormon faith tries desperately to play off of Christianity as if they are almost one of the same. So it would be easy just to believe in a few extra things, but there are many many many differences between the two. You can say to a Mormon, "Jesus is the only way." and they would say, "yeah, Joe told us that along with this other stuff you have to do." A lot of their faith is based off of how they feel rather than any real evidence to back it up, and a lot of claims that are absolutely ridiculous.
All that really matters to me is the truth that the Bible holds and the salvation that can only be found in Jesus alone. However enticing magic underwear and my own planet may seem, it just has no comparison on Truth. I do admire how active the Mormons are in their faith and the courage it takes to go door to door. Plus they are very polite which is rare nowadays. I just hate that glazed over look that they give me when I open my door. Seriously it freaks me out!
