Regarding boundries, saying that God the Father was once a man and only one of many Gods degrades Him. To say that we cannot get into heaven without Jospeh Smith's permission degrades Christ's sacrifice and guarantee that He paid the full price and we can rely on Him for entrance into heaven. To say that Black people are black because God cursed them to look that way because of sin makes God into a racist. And to say that Native Americans were made dark because their ancestors sinned and to make them ugly to white people also makes God into a racist. To say that we are only saved by grace through faith after all we can do degrades Christ's sacrifice.
You and I are not communicating. I do not agree with all of the Mormon doctrines you keep pointing me to... My point is what is your job in the eyes of God? Your answer is that it is your job to denounce Mormon doctrines to Mormons so as to hopefully direct them in a better way, but all you are doing is tearing down. You are not showing them the better Way. What I am saying is that it is only necessary to show them the better Way via our lives unless God gives us a more specific directive.
As to making someone change who is holding onto an erroneous belief: you cannot do it. Only God gives the increase!
jonjon: And following a false prophet that guarantees salvation to a 14 year old little girl if she marries him when he was 37 is repulsive. And to marry other mens wives while they are still alive is inexcusable. That is what is meant by boundries
My friend there have probably been repulsive representatives of every significant denomination that has ever existed. There was even a traitor among the 12 selected by Jesus Himself. Should we reject Jesus because one of His chosen 12 was Judas? How badly did Jesus treat Judas? He did not. He loved Judas and treated him well at all times. The condemnation of Judas was his own. The condemnation of Joseph Smith, if he is to be condemned, is his own.
As I have already said, if you want to preach to Mormons because you believe it to be God's will for you then go for it. But... while they may well be deluded in many of their doctrines, not only Mormons are deluded. We must love the truth that we do not know.
jonjon: You still didn't answer my question about lying
I am uncertain which question I failed to answer. I tried to answer everything. Please repeat the unanswered question and I will answer it if I can.
jonjon: God is not willing that any should perish! Again and again, if we say nothing, people will perish. Mormons are intentionally lying to bring people into their religion. If we do what you say, Christians will die without Christ. If you don't want to help them, that's your decision. If it was your 14 year old grandaugher who was promised that her whole family would recieve exaltation if she were to marry a 37 year old false prophet, you would want someone to say something
You already know the answer to the question. If a person is to blamed for an unintentional lie, how much more blame is affixed to an intentional one?
In the OT under the law God gave to Moses, an animal sacrifice was required for an unintentional sins when it became known. The penalty for intentional sins was usually the death of the sinner. But... remember who knows the intent of the heart of every man. It is not you and it is not me.
Even a lie is not a sin unto death if it is told by an unbeliever. The unbeliever still has hope of becoming a believer. If a Mormon is as you say not a Christian, then is he a believer or an unbeliever?
"But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." Luke 12:48
