They are never dealt with because they carry a deeper meaning to those that hold the peculiar LDS doctrines. Not knowing all the doctrines issues and wordings makes one sort of out of the loop in some ways.
As does a failure to understand the history of the times and the universal need from the patient application of grace. There are things that you write, on occasion, that make me think you are the only one involved in these discussions who has played a hand in the conversion of others. "Success" as defined in this manner is not necessarily success.
I see much in the Mormon Faith that I will never be able to accept. Nor do I accept their scripture (i.e. The Book of Mormon, the D&C and the PoGP) as mine. But ditto for the Catholic Bible or the way Legalists use the same Bible I use. If we cannot find a point of commonality, the discussion becomes pointless after all arguments have been presented.
