Lance,
I agree with you. We all want to be in truth, and cling dearly to and
defend that which we believe to be true. I typically have not spent my time
trying to penetrate 'that'. My reason is that, first of all, I consider most
of those issues to be "in house" debates. Christians reasoning with
Christians about non-critical (in most cases) issues. However, if I saw a
brother that I felt was making a mistake that was critical to his/her
salvation, I would have to appeal to him and to try to bring him to the
light of scrpture.
Second, and perhaps more important in my instance, is that I feel drawn
and compelled to appeal to mormons to examine their own faith in light of
Biblical facts; something very few are willing to do in an honest and
intellectual manner. Is this the Holy Spirit drawing me to this purpose?
While I cannot positively say that it is (I have heard no voices, nor have I
seen any hands writing walls), I have to believe that it is because I pray
to God to be shown the truth. I pray that if this compulsion to reach out to
momons is of Him that it persist, and that if it is not that he remove it.

Perry: There are some, you and I among them, on TT who similarly 'cling' to
that which is simply not so concerning the nature of God and His Gospel.
Would you not agree? Does one find penetrating 'that' any easier?
