(The two young men had that male Nordic God look that you see in Mormon art!) The first time that I had the full attention of two such handsome guys!<br /><br />Nonetheless, I was fortified by Grandma's prayers and by my mom's training in "test everything". So I did not value good looks over truth...So we talked...but they left...without converting the young 17 year old awkward girl (me)...who surely must have seemed an easy mark.<br /><br />For instance, when they quoted some verse in Isaiah --- in order to "justify" adding the Book of Mormon to the Bible, I later looked up that verse and...as a baby Christian even I could see...the verse was ripped out of context.<br /><br />thank you for your analysis. How can we also teach the young to LOVE their faith and to LOVE sound reasoning, and to DESPISE bad reasoning and poor Bible exegisis?vikingmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256556167541916038noreply@blogger.com
