Or will you deny that the one who stated it was a prophet? DAVEH:  Until you quote something, Perry.....what is there to deny, other than your highly biased desire to make TTers think I believe something that I don't believe.  Why are you taking such a round-a-bout path to shoot your big guns?  As I said below....... Please quote the passage you think applies and I'll explain it as I understand it. .......Why do you not just toss out what you're referring to so we can talk about it.  I've got to tell you, it is hard to defend my beliefs against innuendo and veiled comments that are meant to hide that you lack what you imply.  (Yikes......That was sure worded awkwardly!!!)     Now Perry......I asked you below...... OK Perry.....once again FTR......LDS doctrine is very specific about Mary.....She was a virgin.   Furthermore, I do believe God the Father is Jesus' literal father.  Do you not believe both those concepts, Perry? ......and you failed to answer.  Perry, I don't mind telling you what I believe (when asked), but is there a reason you do not afford me the same courtesy?

DAVEH:  No, Perry.  I am denying the spin you are putting on their words. Have you not seen the multitude of references that Kevin has provided that indicate such? DAVEH:  No.....I have not.  The references I have seen have *not *said /God had physical sex with Mary/.  So I do not understand why you continue saying that we do believe that, despite me telling you previously that it is not LDS doctrine or teaching. Are you saying that they were NOT prophets, and had no authority, or were they wrong on just this one occasion? DAVEH:  Please quote the passage you think applies and I'll explain it as I understand it. Please set me straight. Explain to me the DH understanding of the relationship between the LDS god and Mary that produced Jesus' earthly body. If it differs from the LDS teachings, please tell me what the LDS believe about this. DAVEH:  OK Perry.....once again FTR......LDS doctrine is very specific about Mary.....She was a virgin.   Furthermore, I do believe God the Father is Jesus' literal father.  Do you not believe both those concepts, Perry?    I also believe there is a genetic (if that is the correct word) connection between God the Father and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus that took place by virtue of the power of the Holy Ghost.  That does not mean that the HG created Jesus.  But rather Jesus was conceived in the womb from genetic (as best as I understand it) material of both the Heavenly Father and Mary without a physical/sexual union that would disqualify Mary's virginity.    Now that you presumably understand what I just explained, Perry.....will you continue expounding that we believe the opposite?
