Blaine, if it is ok with you and Perry, I would like to extend a little latitude about the ad hominem rule to explore this idea a little. Personally, I have found Perry's "definition alerts" helpful. Perry has the opinion that both you and DaveH knowingly mislead us by using these definitions. I'm not sure that is true, but it does seem like he might have a valid point. For example, if non-Mormons going to heaven does not mean the same thing to Mormons as it does to non-Mormons because Mormons believe in three heavens with very few people going to hell, that needs to be explained for proper communication to occur. Likewise, if "like God" means becoming God instead of becoming more like God in moral character, then that also should be explained. So the question to you and DaveH is, do you knowingly use terms that you know mislead others, or are you so engrossed within Mormonism that you don't really think about how others on this list might be misunderstanding you? Peace be with you. David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
