Does Dave Hansen agree?

DAVEH:  Yes.

So be it  !!!!   How can I conclude that Dave Hansen is not a brother ( in the grandest sense of that word) when this confession is so?    The only rebuttal, as I see it, is to effectively argue that "brotherhood" is based upon doctrinal agreement that finds him no longer a Mormon but allows me to continue as a Pentecostal and and Kay as a Messianic and Bill as a Bricklayin Fool For Christ and Jonathan/Lance as Canadian Mega Liberals !!   Dave will never agree with us "protestants,"  nor will any of us convert to Mormonism.   Nor will I ever be whatever Judy is  (I truly do not know her denominational tie) or a Baptist as is BillyT.   But the fact embraced in the above "confession" binds us together in a way that cannot be destroyed.  Why so   ------------   because we are only passively involved in this reconciliation that names Christ as the Author and Finisher.   Joseph Smith is not that  --   neither is Charles Finney,  the Pope,  Calvin, Luther and the like.
