I was also refering to the need to teach boys how to defend their
faith. You can't defend when you don't know your enemy.
In order to teach against something you first need to know
what they believe. I have taking many courses on false doctrines,
sects, as well as many theology couses from diferent point of views.
After one knowing what and why they believe it is important to know
what others believe. I find it to be a great tool when preaching
to know diferent pints of views on the subject.
How can you minister (preach) to a Mormon when you don't know what
they believe? If the person goes unprepared they will tear the person
apart with their crazy doctrines.
In Christ,
