Excuse me for answering for another. I have had many sincere people offer this scripture as a defense of not trying to reach a particular crowd. What is your problem with it and do you have a dirty mind?
Kevin - you need to work on your sarcasm. "What is your problem with it ..." is something that is plainly stated in my post. I have no way of saying more clearly. "Do you have a dirty mind?" Here, you loose me. Perhaps this is a Mormon underware joke (?) Perhaps it is a cry help. Maybe you have in mind some distasteful joke that Matt 7 brought to mind. I don't know.

At some point SPÃââs efforts to evangelize hardened mormons are violating Jesus commandment below. They shouldnÃâât be surprised when they are torn to pieces. Izzy
Matthew 7:6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
This is a real shame. Completely uncalled for. A mockery of the biblical message. A case of true profanity. If you don't want to be in discussion group, get out. But stop using or misusing the biblical message to insult and injure. Perhaps I have no right to make such a comment -- but this is so very wrong.
I am ashamed of this.
