DAVEH:  Yes. John 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 DAVEH:   ???   Not sure why you would deny me Mormonism while maintaining Protestantism, JD.  Is that not a double standard? 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," DAVEH:  Seems like I already did....at least in one aspect......that without Jesus, there would be no salvation.   nor will any of us convert to Mormonism. DAVEH:   Hey....no need to draw hasty conclusions, JD!    :-D    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. DAVEH:   Perhaps.....But I suspect you are making a lot of TTers rather uncomfortable right now, JD.  Very few TTers are going to feel good about getting chummy with a Mormon boy. 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.  JD -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
