But Lance, have you considered your inability to
interpret Scripture - because of the "enlightenment" and
all that goes along with that??? Dave has Mormon
blinders on - Just wondering about you. judyt
Q:Do Christians ever...? I do. When I read/hear
'a' Jesus I don't recognize from Scripture then, I deem that message
'anti-christian'. You're a clever guy, Dave. You see the
distinction.

Anti-Christian
DAVEH: Sure it does, Lance. Do Christians ever
use the term, anti-Christian? Or, is it simply a term
Perry/Kevin coined to label me with in an effort to disparage my belief in
Jesus? That I would disagree or even argue that another's Christian
based theology is misguided would not make me an anti-Christian. Even
if I were right in that thinking, it would not make the other person not a
Christian. As long as his beliefs are based on Christian principles
(rightly or wrongly), he would by dictionary definitions be a
Christian.
LDS folks did coin the anti-Mormon
term, and subsequently defined it in effect as one who actively preaches
against and denigrates LDS theology. If Perry/Kevin want to label me
anti-Christian, then the similarity does not hold as I do not actively
preach against Jesus.
From what I remember about
your posts, you do not actively denigrate LDS theology. Hence I do not
consider you an anti-Mormon. That you don't believe LDS theology does
not enter into the equation. It is your intent, as I see it.
Perry and Kevin on the other hand have demonstrated their desire to actively
fight against LDS theology, hence they meet the qualification of being an
anti-Mormon. Do you see the difference....it seems to me to be the
intent, as well as the actions.
I hope I've not
muddled that up as I've tried to explain it.

DH:Intent does play a part.
DAVEH: Ahhhhhhh, thanx for the explanation, Lance. I would
respectfully disagree with you though. If two people sincerely believe
they are Christians, in the sense of following the admonitions of Jesus
as they understand them, then neither would be an anti-Christian in my
opinion....even though one (or perhaps both) are believing/teaching
things about Jesus that may not be true. As I see it, an anti-Christian
would be one who is defiantly teaching against Jesus, and the term would
not apply to one who is simply mistaken in his beliefs about Jesus.

When you believe/teach a Jesus who is other than Who He really is then,
you
are anti-Christ. This would/could be equally true of some non-Mormon
Christians.
DAVEH: You've lost me on this one, Lance....Will you please rephrase it
so a sleepy Mormon boy can understand the question?

YOU ARE INDEED IFF what you have come to believe is, in reality, not

DAVEH: Why would you consider me anti-Christian, Kevin? Have I been
attacking Jesus?
Perry on the other hand has admitted to attacking Mormonism, so the
anti-Mormon label would be appropriate, would it not?

You are very perceptive, I am a very sensitive guy : )
I have no problems with labels a wear a few.
I do have a problem when it is a manuever to discredit the messenger
without dealing with the issues.
By the way I believe most of the labels I have posted are of a
theological bent (liberal) not such as emotional (ANGRY) or
psychological (mental)
So if Perry is ANTI Mormon then you qualify on the same grounds as
ANTI Christian!
