The Bible instructs us not to pray about truth but to "search the Scriptures":
"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." - Acts 17:11
Even more, Mormons ask unbelievers, those who "turn their ears away from listening to the law", to pray about truth, when the Bible says that their prayers are an abomination to God.
"He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, Even his prayer is an abomination." - Proverbs 28:9
Why would someone base "truth" on a subjective feeling?
Haven't you ever "felt" something was right, only to find out later that you were dead wrong?
How do you know that your "burning in the bosom" is not heartburn?
Why aren't proselytes encouraged to search the Scriptures to determine if Joseph Smith was a true prophet?
