(Could that be one of the reasons you created TT?) But in particular, I did not expect to find the animosity amongst Christians that is prevalent in this forum. Furthermore, I find it very curious to find folks here who think I should be excluded from TT simply because I have opposing beliefs and refuse to change to their way of thinking. Now I wonder what would happen if I were to attend a non-LDS church for 4 years and not express any desire to change.....would I be asked to leave? Any thoughts on that, DavidM?

We are clearly a mixture of wheat and tares growingDAVEH: Yes DavidM....that expresses my feelings in a nutshell. That coupled with the peculiar way some folks want to express their disagreements over my beliefs. As a salesman by nature, I can't imagine trying to persuade people to buy my products if I were to conduct myself as others exhibit in their efforts to convert LDS folks away from the beliefs they hold dear to their heart. However, it isn't my desire to make preaching to/against Mormons easier, so I will withhold my unasked for advice.

site is a tool for Daveh.Do you not see how he guides Blaine?
ConcerningDAVEH: Is that how you see I have participated in TT in the past, Dean. Do you really think I'm out to bloody your nose?
what we believe-as least we fight with passion over the truth of the
bible-at least we have that and more.============================================================================

Do you not think that Jesus was used the pharisee and this
event as a teaching tool to show us what they are so we can avoid them? Did
he not pronounce judgement upon them-and were they not warned to a deeper
judgement? Did he return the next night to dine with them? Lots of
unanswered questions huh?

DAVEH: Well, yes Dean......I am responsible for inviting a few LDS folks to join TT. If for no other reason, wouldn't you want me to remain on TT so I can encourage other Mormons to join TT??? Who knows.....I may be responsible for more hard core Mormons listening to your message than what you have done on your own by street preaching in SLC! :-)

DAVEH: Dean, I am assuming you are referring to me.....May I ask you how you define prophet, and how do you think I fit your profile?> I have shared much Bible with you. The problem is that like the

in the mist of--
the brethern-I don't agree. But I don't at this point think you will hear
me.How can a Christian fulfill the great commission if they must set their
Christianity aside for this site?
