I often answer the door to Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc., etc.
I usually invite them in.
I believe it is my mission to convert them to Trinitarian, traditional Christianity. Sadly many of them have been taught certain verses of Scripture 'parrot fashion' but have no consistent hermeneutic approach. Scriptural snippets are taken completely out of context.
Contextual theology isn't just applying ancient writings to today, it is also considering the context in which they were written...
Who wrote them?
For whom?
What was the purpose?
What were the background 'norms' for the intended readership?
Etc.
