One of the biggest shocks for me when leaving Mormonism was discovering I had to admit I’m a sinner. It was humbling experience! Unfortunately, that phrase isn’t part of the vernacular of the average Mormon.
Share with the Mormon you know that we’re all sinners, and because of this, God provided a Redeemer to cleanse us from that wretched state!
