Blaine: I
have covered all of the doctrines I know about that can be substantiated by
Mormon scriptures, at least I hope I didn't leave anything out. Your
list of "truths" about what we believe, Perry, would not stand up to any
scriptures that I know of, Mormon or otherwise. You are touching on almost
all the doctrines I have heard repeated by anti-Mormons in their many attempts
to discredit the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They dig up
some obscure commentaries made in moments of unwary speculation, and try
to attach these to the official belief system of the LDS Church. If I as a
sunday school teacher were to dwell on these doctrines as if they were
fundamental truths, with more than passing commentary, I would soon be
removed from teaching the Latter-day Saint people. If you want to know
what we teach, read current commentary by current LDS writers, or go to the
official scriptures--the BoM, the D&C, and etc.
If I wanted to
know what Jews teach, would I go to an anti-semitic source? Not unless I
wanted to hear with itching ears the devil's version of what they
teach. (:>)
