Chrisrians Speak At Temple Square

I am hearing a lot about two different Christian speakers that spoke at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah.

First, Ravi Zacharias spoke to a gathering of Mormons and apparently presented the gospel. I simply think this is wrong. Anyone, who has had even the most remote experience with Mormons, knows that Mormons speak another language while using Christian terminology. It is simply a waste of time to talk to mormons without first getting a translator or doing the translating yourself.It also gives the appearance of being ecumenical, when it is not. This is deceiving since we would not allow a Mormon to speak at our own churches. Would we really allow God's people to be addressed by a Mormon outside of cross examination?

Second, Dr. Mouw, from Fuller Theological Seminary, spoke as well. He apologized on behalf of us sinful evangelicals, who have not spoken to the scholars of BYU on their level, for not attempting to understand Mormonism on their level.Please sir, BYU scholars do not define mormonism, and neither do you. I do not need some liberal cemetarian apologizing for me. I, like the Apostle Paul, am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and I will never apologize for defining with clarity, the Jesus of the Scriptures.

Mormonism does not have the Scriptural God, Jesus or Gospel. They should be warned of their impending doom and the false gospel that they have entrusted their souls to.
