Got Questions? Too Bad.

Mormonism, as many of us know is riddled with potholes and very disjointed claims pertaining to biblical truth. An LDS church publication called the Ensign, which is urged by leadership for all LDS members to maintain a subscription, recently posted an article, which emphasized church members to not question things that may not have reasonable answers.
The article stated:

“A Firm Foundation in a Shaky World - Don't let something you don't know shake your faith in something you do know. When questions that don't seem to have answers build stress along the fault line between the world and the gospel, the resulting quake can cause casualties of faith among those whose foundations are weak.” (June Ensign 2007)

This is reinforced and echoed by LDS doctrine when they stated in this Ensign article:

“When searching through praying, reading the scriptures, and studying the words of our leaders doesn't turn up an answer, we wait."

For me being a Christian this kind of attitude screams “Cult!” If we are realistic and logical about Mormons “waiting” for answers to things, which are critical, yet truthful towards the LDS faith, then Mormons are going to be waiting an awful long time for answers. This works out perfectly for the Mormon church. As people sit and wait the church only grows, which seems to be a main focus for the leadership of the church.

When the apostle Paul and Silas visited Berea and taught in the Jewish synagogue the Bereans were eager to receive Paul’s message and EXAMINED the scriptures to see and TEST if what Paul was saying in reference to the scriptures was true. These people of Berea were considered of more noble character than the Thessalonians. (See Acts 17:10-12)

Now consider Paul’s words to the Thessalonians where he writes:

“Test everything, hold on to that which is good.” (1 Thes. 5:21)

So if they Mormon church is the one and only true church on the face of the planet, then perhaps it could withstand a little scrutiny and give their members that free agency (which is copiously spoken of) to investigate the claims of Mormonism.
