Bearing False Witness Against LDS

I have recently read two papers.

1. “Spotting An Anti-Mormon Book” by Davis Bitton (The FARMS Review, Vol. 16, Number 1, 2004)

In this paper, Davis gives five “things to look for in books about the Latter-day Saints.” Inaccuracy, Telling Us What We Believe, Principle of Selection, Interpretation, and What We Know of the Author.

To all LDS friends, if I write inaccuracy, put words in your mouth, select only the extreme, interpret Scripture unfairly, or live a hypocritical life, please comment on this blog.

2. “Cowan on the Countercult” by Louis Midgley (The FARMS Review, Vol. 16, Number 2, 2004)

Secondly, if I am engaged in what Midgley labels “rancid Caliban mischief,” please post.

In all the upcoming reviews from an evangelical perpective that I would like to give of contemporary LDS books and DVDs, I do not want to bear false witness. I especially don’t want to bear false witness against the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1. Todd, you asked me elsewhere if I consider you and your site “anti”. The answer would be yes, in that I have a general impression that you feel that you have a God-given mission to refute the teachings of the Mormon Church. You are nicer about it and more gracious about it than some. You seem to be genuinely interested in the welfare of the Mormons. You seem like a very nice person with whom I could have an interesting conversation. Ultimately, I am not sure that the conversation would be fruitful, because you seem to staunchly believe that my religion is wrong, while I staunchly believe that it is not. Nonetheless, I will have to come here more often.
