I have been trying to work on a TBM family member who says I am using anti mormon stuff to offend them. Ironic, my sources all come from the standard works.
What it boils down to is what is most important in being Christian and Mormon? I narrowed it down to Truth.
By using these 3 sources (there are many others) it sets the stage for what it means to be Christian.
"Christ is light, life, and truth of world", Ether 4:12 Book of Mormon
"whatsoever is truth is light" D&C 84:45.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the father, but by me". John 14:6
In sum, what do you stand for? Surpressing, sanitizing, or hiding truth is anti mormon / christian. If all truth is light and Christ is Light and Truth, then won't seeking truth lead to that light...The Savior?
I am still athiest at this point. But, I figure this is a good approach to a TBM.
