That One Missionary
"Encircle the flocks round about that they flee not; and I go and contend with these men who do scatter our flocks." Alma 17:33
I am That One Missionary. I have been a converted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for a few years. My purpose is to share my understanding so that others might overcome doubts and build strong faith. Like Ammon, I choose to combat anti-Mormon views and those who purposefully go about sowing confusion and doubt in the hearts of those seeking for truth. While I do not find joy in contending with the contentious, I will not sit idly by while they try to scatter the flocks. I will share some personal insights into the standard works that I believe are helpful. I speak for myself and only offer my understanding which has helped defend my faith against bad philosophy and poor reasoning.
I sometimes use the term Mormon to help those not of this faith recognize the previously used vernacular and become reintroduced to the official name: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I do not represent the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

"Though argument does not create conviction, lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish." Autin Farrer

"Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered." C.S. Lewis
