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? It would be as you are understanding my
post -- but that is not what I am saying. I
think my use of the word "effectively" has caused some
confusion. My point is that one cannot make an effective
argument. The only rebuttal to your inclusion would be an
effective argument that allows for the differing traditions of all except
you -- not possible as far as i am concerned.
DAVEH: Ahhhhhhh.....thanx for clearing that up for
me, JD.
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. Absolutely -- sorry the
confusion.
DAVEH: I suspect there are other areas I may agree as
well. But for the sake of dividing folks (and I admit to doing it too),
it is more interesting/entertaining to point out the differences.
nor will any of us convert to
Mormonism.
DAVEH: Hey....no need to draw hasty
conclusions, JD! :-D Read on ;-)
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. This includes you.
DAVEH: You won't win any TT popularity trophies with
comments like that, JD. ;-)
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.Perhaps.
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.
