Oh, good, I am glad to hear that.

What street preacher did you witness using such methods? I would like to know names, places, dates, and contact information like email addresses or websites, etc. I've preached with scores of street preachers across this nation and I don't think I have ever witnessed such things.
Jesus offended many with his preaching and teaching. The proof of this is
in how they reacted toward him and ultimately by the fact of his
crucifixion. If you are walking as Jesus walked, people will be looking for
ways to malign you, misrepresent you, hurt you, and kill you, and if they
are not, either you have not started ministry yet, or something is wrong
with your ministry. None of us are above our Master.
Caroline Wong wrote:Something is very wrong here and as a Christian, I protest. I do not agree with Mormon beliefs but I have enormous respect for all those who endured the persecution with grace and dignity.
You have respect for the Mormon persecution? Is this what you are saying?
Joseph Smith as Mayor of the largest city in Illinois and Military General
of a State Militia ordered the destruction of printing presses that
criticized his polygamy. In response to this gross abuse of political power
and sundry other things, he was arrested and a mob broke into the jail and
killed him after he had killed some of the angry mob with a gun that had
been smuggled in. Are you going on record as saying that you are
sympathetic to his suffering persecution in this event?
Caroline Wong wrote:As a Christian, I would like to apologize to all the Mormons here who were screamed at and insulted.
Before you jump on the bandwagon here, you need to go down to Salt Lake City
and see what is going on for yourself. I believe that your apology is based
upon your being too eager to believe gossip.
Caroline Wong wrote:Not all Christians are like that and not all Street Preachers are like that. I hope you'll give us another chance to explain our beliefs.
Sweet Caroline. You are falling for the Mormon deception here. Wake up.
The Mormons are not ignorant of your beliefs. They have judged your beliefs
as false and hope for the opportunity for you to explain your beliefs only
so they can show you how they have a belief system that goes beyond yours
and has better answers. The Scriptures teach us to reprove, rebuke and
exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. You had better get about the
business of doing that. Those who love the truth will hear you, and those
who hate the truth will deride you.
Peace be with you. David Miller.
