RE: [TruthTalk] God in our unconscious

John,   I can understand your reasoning below. But may I have permission to insert two comments?   1) Jews can certainly remain Jews as believers in Messiah Yeshua. Jesus was and still is the Jewish Messiah. Many Jews today can and do know Jesus as Lord. We might call them “Christians”, but they still consider themselves to be Jews. (Like Paul himself.)   2) However, I think mormons have a simple misunderstanding of who Jesus is. They have been taught that He is the brother of satan, one of many gods, and that mormons themselves are morphing into gods just like Jesus did, etc. They cannot be followers of the real Jesus because they have been given the wrong “Jesus” to follow; not because they don’t have all the “right” doctrines on non-critical issues. (But the Lord can continue draw truly seeking hearts which, hopefully Blaine has.)   Do you think I’m all wet?

If you are saying that we are brothers in Christ, I can accept that.   You will understand, of course, that accepting you and accepting Mormon teaching are two different things.   But I accept Catholics without accepting the Roman Church.   Paul accepted those who continued to follow Judaism and Christ.  Are you and I brothers?   John
