God sets a path for everyone to follow, and everyone has a story. What is amazing, however, is that often God brings one down a certain path for a reason and eventually veers them off on another path according to his amazing purpose. With a Latter-day Saint, it depends upon how much that person prays to be led to more truth, especially after they reach a spiritual plateau in the LDS Church that prevents them from having an even closer relationship with their Heavenly Father and understanding more of his eternal truths. That's when the Lord answers one's prayer and leads them to his total truth. And based upon one’s experience in their prior path, they can be used in so many ways to God’s glory. As you mentioned, my "bad experience" in the Montana cult is not what took me away from the LDS Church. I had already done my homework. It was realizing the deliberate cover-up of church history by the leaders, so many beliefs that contradicted the Bible, and other things too lengthy to go into here. I taught the Gospel Doctrine class for many years, knew my LDS doctrine backwards and forward, and knew it better than most. So, it's not that I didn't know what I was doing when I decided to leave the church to embrace Biblical Christianity. Telling others about what Mormonism teaches is not, as you said, leading others astray--not when one is using the Bible and what Jesus taught. I do not fault you for being in the LDS Church. You may be where God wants you right now. But, eventually, as you advance to that point where you confess to him that you want more truth about Him wherever it may be found, you will find the ultimate path.Janis Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561840507153076974noreply@blogger.com
