Speculum et Lavacrum

Christians Strike Again!~

I work with a ministry that is geared towards witnessing to Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. We just got a hate mail that made me scratch my head and laugh at the same time. So I thought I'd post the correspondences here. In my years of ministry, I have found, that the hardest people to minister to are the professed Christians. I think you'll see whyDe hate mails de hate mails oh oh de hate mails:

WARNING: PG-13 Language

(first by: Landon Mariano)
why show the discrepancies only in mormonism? why not fully practice what you preach and show he inaccuracies in Judaism, Islam, Taoism, Catholicism, and all the sects of christianity along with all religions? Why not examine your own religion? Don't half ass the job you have set out to do, complete it. Don't be ignorant assholes, half of what you claim is incorrect about mormonism is nothing but personal belief with very little substantiating evidence. I'm not even a mormon, but am a devout Christian, and I am appalled at the way you single out a religion, point out inaccuracies that could and are found in EVERY religion, and claim your elitist point of view is correct. you expect people to listen to what you have written and see the true Jesus, and i understand your fervor and want to do so, but why single out mormonism when there are thousands or religions that hold views that serve as an antithesis to yours? Don't be ignorant in claiming you aren't mormon bashing. Ignorant f@#*&$% pricks.

Unless you actually show some respect, self-control, and actually substantiate your claims this will be the end of any kind of correspondence. Our website never displays the kind of rudeness that your email demonstrated. You are a hypocrite. Your email by far did not demonstrate any kind of "christian" humility, patience, kindness, long-suffering, etc. I highly recommend that you reflect upon yourself and seriously reflect upon your words. You would have never talked to a Mormon that way, then why talk to professed believers that way? You rebuked us for our evaluation of Mormonism and then have the audacity to evaluate us? Inconsistency maybe? You charged us for not writing against all the other sects and religions... if we did... you'd probably call us pricks for that too. Also, how do you know that we don't study those religions? TELL ME! How do you know? I personally study L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, Muhammad and Islam, Talmud and Judaism, Sun Myung Moon and the Moonies, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the Hare-Krsna (ISKON), Gautama Buddha and Buddhism, I also study Hinduism, Atheism, Skepticism, Agnosticism, etc. etc. etc. Yes, I also critique those within "Christianity". I have written against Rick Warren, "The Shack", Prosperity Doctrine, Arminianism, Seeker Sensitivity, the ELCA, etc. etc. etc. So your objection was made out of an extreme ignorance.

Also, you should spend more time on our website. It would help you so that you can critique us properly. We have responses to your objections on our website already, whaddayaknow. We also have links to other ministries that critique other religions, cults, and philosophies.

By the way, we don't only write against Mormonism! We have a whole website on the Jehovah's Witnesses too! You obviously have never fully studied another religion or worldview and written why its wrong. It can take a life-time. Why do we write against Mormonism and the Jehovah's Witnesses? Because first, God called us to. Also, Scripture commands us to examine everything and hold fast to that which is true, to be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in us, and to contend earnestly for the faith (I'm quoting Scripture fyi). Also, Mormonism and the JWs teach a false Gospel. We desire to see Mormons and JWs come to a saving knowledge of the Jesus of the Bible. So we're not "half-assing" the job, you are, by not knowing enough about us to make a proper objection.

Jesus, Paul, and John spoke out against Judaism, Gnosticism, Sadduseeism, and a form of Preterism, etc. Why? For the protection of the Christians, so that the Christians wouldn't fall into heresy, to rebuke falsehood, and to evangelize the lost.

Half of what we claim about Mormonism is false??? We have very little substantiating evidence? PLEASE! I'm so glad that you demonstrated this claim with with so MUCH evidence... And I'm glad that your email was made out of so much knowledge of us.

You're a devout Christian? I would have never guessed by the character you portrayed in your email. Unless you change the tone of your writing, the words that you use, and the way you conduct yourself, we will no longer be writing to you.

I would be honored if I would no longer be communicating with you. You're a disgrace
and your mannerisms and claims are intolerant and ignorant. And yes, I would talk to
a mormom like that. I would talk to anyone who made such a pathetic and unwarranted
website as yours. And yes you are all pricks. Everyone of you. Go f&%$ yourselves.
Thank you for your time and god bless
