Free-Saints E-mail List
The Free-Saints mail list is a group of folk, founded in May, 1995, from
around the world who come together to discuss doctrines & activities
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The basis of these discussions
is found in the challenge issued by Mormon apostle Orson Pratt:
"...convince us of our errors of doctrine, if we have any,
by reason, by logical arguments, or by the Word of God, and we will be ever
grateful for the information, and you will ever have the pleasing reflection
that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your fellow
beings from the darkness which you may see enveloping their minds."
(The Seer, pp.15-16)
Free-Saints is a place where all are free to raise issues without fear of
condemnation. The name "Free-Saints" was selected because all
in Christ are "free" (Romans 8:1-2) and "saints" include
all true believers. (Ephesians 1:18-19, Romans 1:7)
The group is made up of: Current LDS, ex-Mormons, and any other folk who are interested
in learning about Mormonism. Any "Mormon-bashing" will not be tolerated,
but all aspects of Mormon theology are open to examination. The best-of-the-best
are attracted to participate in this forum, and as such the discussions are brisk
and informative, and the listowner will ASSURE the conversations remain civil.
Development of a FTP/Website is underway. (www.GraceWeb.org/
GraceWeb/Worldviews/LDS) Drafts of postings for these may often be used
to facilatate Free-Saints discussion. The listowner will sometimes block
off times to focus on specfic topics, but the floor will always open to
the courteous.
