So yesterday I had a little visit from the Jesus Christ Church of Latterday Saints. My husband actually answered the door and said "Hang on, my wife reads the Bible almost DAILY so I'm sure she'd just LOVE to speak with you"... (I could've choked him! ) I really don't know much about the Mormon faith... at all. I am naturally a very open person, and was extremely nice to these two ladies (...and they looked pleasantly surprized to have someone not slam the door in their faces). I informed them that I am a Christian, and they said that they were too! They gave me a book of Mormon, and told me very little about it, but were nice enough to join me in prayer. I sent them off with hugs, telling them to be careful.
Now, I feel kind of like I'm almost "cheating" on Jesus by even having this book in my home. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I have no idea if the book of Mormon is even really something I should have in my home. I flipped through the book and skimmed it over... and it just flat out confused me. They even had a picture (painting) of Jesus visiting the Americas...??? Whhhaaaat? I don't want to just throw it away, but I feel like if it isn't in the Bible, then its automatically false.
What do ya'll think? Do you have any Mormon friends, or have you ever encountered them trying to "convert" you to their faith?
