TESTIMONY IN FRANCE

BLESSED ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOD NEWS. WHAT GOOD NEWS?  THERE IS A WAY FOR EVERLASTING LIFE.  JESUS MADE THE WAY.

YESTERDAY I HAD AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE.  GOD BLESSED WITH ME BEING ABLE TO WITNESS TO A MORMON.  I WAS ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS TO A PARTICULAR BUSINESS.  SEVERAL PEOPLE OFFERED TO ASSIST ME.  ONE WAS A WOMAN WHO SPOKE ENGLISH. THIS WOMAN WAS A MORMON.  THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME EFFECTIVE IDEAS FOR WITNESSING:

1)  MORMONS ARE NOT THEIR OWN GOD.  ONLY GOD IN HEAVEN IS GOD.  THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR FORM OF APOLOGETICS TOWARD MORMONS.  AS IT IS POPULAR, THE MORMONS HAVE LEARNED HOW TO FEND OFF THIS TRUTH.

2)  THE MORMONS HAVE A PERSON TAKE AN OATH TO BECOME A PART OF THEIR FAITH.  JESUS SAID TO NOT TAKE AN OATH (DO NOT SWEAR) TO ANYONE/ ANYTHING.  A CHURCH MEMBERSHIP WILL REQUIRE A PERSON TO AGREE WITH THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM, NOT MAKE AN OATH TO THE CHURCH. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE,

3)  MORMONS ARE TO KEEP WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THEIR TEMPLE A SECRET.  JESUS WARNED TO NOT HAVE SECRETS.  ON JUDGMENT DAY ALL SECRETS WILL BE EXPOSED.  CHRISTIAN CHURCHES WILL HAVE THEIR SERMONS PUBLICLY BROADCAST.  (IE.  TV & RADIO)  THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE DURING A SERMON.

4)  THE MORMONS BELIEVE IT'S OK TO HAVE SEVERAL WIVES,  (THIS IS SIMILAR TO MUSLIMS, FOUR WOMEN TO ONE MAN.)  THE BIBLE TEACHES ONE WOMAN FOR ONE MAN IN MARRIAGE.  PROV.  31-WHO IS HE WHO WILL FIND HER. THE SONG OF SOLOMON SHOWS CHRISTIAN COURTSHIP. THERE IS ONLY ONE MAN WITH ONE WOMAN.  ALSO, A CHRISTIAN OBEYS THE LAW OF THE LAND.  MANY COUNTRIES HAVE A LAW FOR MARRIAGE - ONE MAN FOR ONE WOMAN.

5)  MOST IMPORTANT - SMITH, THE MORMON LEADER, WROTE A BOOK FOR HIS FAITH.  "THE BOOK OF MORMONS." (CATHOLICS HAVE "THE BOOK OF CANONS,")  ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THERE IS ONLY ONE BOOK FOR THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.  THE WORD OF GOD IS INERRANT, "GOD BREATHED. " (IITIM. 3:16) THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT, NOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED IN ANOTHER BOOK.  IN REVELATIONS, THE LAST CHAPTER STATES "IF ANYONE ADDS TO..." OR "...TAKES AWAY FROM THIS BOOK..." THEY WILL RECEIVE A CURSE" AND LOSE THEIR SALVATION.  (22:18-19)  FOR A FAITH TO THINK THEY NEED ANOTHER BOOK BESIDES THE BIBLE IS WRONG AND IS CONSIDERED SIN.

SHE DIDN'T COME TO CHRIST RIGHT THEN.  I KNOW GOD HAD ME PLANT SOME SERIOUS SEED.  MOST OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TRUTHS SHE HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. I TRUST GOD HAD HER GIVE A SILENT PRAYER OF REPENTANCE AS SHE WALKED AWAY.  I'LL FIND OUT WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN.
