He told folks they were wrong and should change, but he did it in a loving way. I do not recall him trying to mock or humiliate those who disagreed with him. Nor did he go out of his way to 'get in their face'. He often times spoke his mind about their wrongness and then left them to decide which path they want to travel. I don't think there was anything obnoxious or offensive about the way he preached or acted. And, that includes his righteous indignation in the Temple. > That is why we are considered obnoxious at you > precious temple-you refuse to repent. DAVEH: Since you want to discuss this within the context of Mormonism, I will oblige. The behavior exhibited by those protesting Mormonism during their conference times twice a year has exceeded the bounds of respect, politeness, decency and common sense. In short, their demonstrations were extremely rude, crude and obnoxious.....not only to LDS folks, but to others who witnessed their rude behavior. Carroll, if you think our Lord condones such deplorable behavior, I am rather disappointed. I'm not sure what effect they (the protesters) think their inappropriate behavior will achieve, but I assure you it was detrimental to their cause. If somebody does not agree with our theology and wishes to protest....that is OK. But to delve to the depths of indecency only brands them with an unChristian image that betrays their hypocritical goals. > Jesus said that the Temple was > within- DAVEH: LDS folks believe the same. > Mormons place it into a structure made with mans hands DAVEH: That too, just as in Biblical times. Do you not see a relevance of Temples to/and God, Carroll? I do not believe a "temple" need be ONLY one single aspect of theology. > which God > will not accept DAVEH: In your opinion. > and in your lies you declare this as the way to > salvation-Mormons are fools. DAVEH: Again.....in your opinion. However, I respectfully disagree. > Your temple will fall. DAVEH: When do you think that will happen, and why do you make that prediction, Carroll? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
