DAVEH:� Your discussion and questions were directed at Blaine.� Hence I did not feel compelled to answer. > Is the Bible a tool of God to bring people out of the darkness of this world > and into the light of God's kingdom, DAVEH:� Yes it is. > or as the Book of Mormon teaches, is > the Bible a tool of Satan DAVEH:� It does not teach such.� Nephi says that the parts that were removed from the Bible cause people to stumble, and when they stumble, Satan has power over them. > that brings an "exceedingly great many" under the > "great power" of Satan?� I believe that Bible is God's Word which delivers > men from Satan's power.� I think Blaine should clarify again what he > believes if he does not believe that the Bible is a tool of Satan.� Thus > far, he has retreated from the discussion on this point, and it does appear > that Glenn is right in saying that "Blaine let the cat out of the bag." DAVEH:� I respectfully disagree.� Now DavidM.....YOU are doing what Glenn has been doing.� As you well know, Blaine was unsubscribed during the time of some of these discussions, and for you to not give him a chance to respond seems a little unfair.� FTR....Niether Blaine NOR the BofM has said that "Bible is a tool of Satan".� Those words came from either your lips or Glenn's. > Peace be with you. > David Miller. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ � ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
