Most of the religious debate I have written about on this blog lately has been regarding debates within the LDS faith. But I occasionally run into protestants that seem to think they have something clever to say about LDS. Let me be clear: we won that debate in the late 80's, and by the late 1990's it was nothing but scorched earth victory in favor of LDS. Since 1999 LDS apologetics has been focused on arguments from Atheism, because the Protestant arguments are road kill thousands of miles behind us on the freeway. This video is from that final period where anti-LDS protestants still thought they had something on LDS:
You can see there that the Protestants have no answer to this basic proposition: LDS are clearly practicing Christianity as is described in the New Testament, while Protestants do not. Every time a Protestant raises an objection to LDS, they end up raising an objection to the New Testament Jesus. More recently Restored Faith on YouTube along with other like minded LDS have gone through the trouble of reminding Protestants where they stand with LDS:
We now have a new wave of Evangelicals that are socially separated for their protestant roots thinking they have something to say to LDS. They are easily refuted the same as Potestants in the 1980's:
None of us LDS believe we are smarter than protestant. Our advantage is simply that we are on the right side of both truth and history.
