Hi everyone,
So...my question is on behalf of my husband who is investigating the church.
He knows all about it,has had some of the discussions, goes with me to church, etc, but just hasn't (in his word) 'bought' the Jospeh Smith story.
He is very scientificly minded and views things logically.
I am a convert who had no problem 'buying' the BoM and Joseph Smith. So its hard for me to relate to to someone who needs to view it in a factual sense.
He said he is going to start researching the church more fully and then re-take the discussions (it was a few years ago he took them).
He is approaching this prayerfully (it was his idea for us to start praying together daily) as well, and there is no denying the potential magnitude of the results of his investigating.
He really likes the church....takes issue with its founding and the BoM.
So, my questions are as follows:
Any general advice?
Any good resources for him to do research?
And I suppose one fear is that his research will lead him to anti-mormon material online. I've been there, done that, and know how confusing it can be.
And I'm not even a logic/science/fact kind of person.
Thanks everyone.
ETA: He is aware of 'pray about it'.
We even have kind of an ongoing banter about the 'the challenge'. I wish it were that easy for him lol.
