Re: [TruthTalk] Dave uses Socratic Method of Teaching LDS doctrine on TT

[Dave Hansen]

DAVEH:  I've got no problem answering somebody who really wants to know, Perry.  I just question your motives.  Why do you want to know?  It seems obvious that you don't particularly care to know what I believe, since you think my beliefs are in error and have proclaimed your desire to prove it false.  Like Kevin, you seem more intent on belittling my faith than in participating in a viable exchange.  If I answer your below question, you will merely ask another, and perhaps another after that, in effect causing me to teach Mormonism.....is that what you really want???     If you persist in insisting that I am deceptive about my reasons for joining TT, then I do find it strange that you would expect me to answer your questions using my LDS rooted beliefs.

But, if you have no answer that is okay, just say so. Here is my planned responses should you choose to answer the question:   1) if you say "yes" then I will ask you why you did not retain any of your godly powers, as jesus did, when you cam to earth and why you have to work to become a god all over again.   2) if you say "no", then I will ask you why your brother jesus got to be a god before he became a man, but you didn't.   Again, if you do not want to answer, just say so. I am just trying to figure out the statement you made that jesus was a god before coming to earth, and whether you were or were not, and why that is. Perry DAVEH:   Another leading question, Perry?  Do you intend to criticize me again for answering your question???
