Dave,
I respect your position, and I beleive that we may have settled our first
point of contention.
While you may not consider some of your responses to be teaching
mormonism, I most whole-heartedly believe that some of it is.
When you answer questions that are asked, and even when you give mormon
references to support it, I do not think of that as "teaching" per se.
However, when you ask a Christian what he/she believes, and he/she tells
you, and THEN you counter and rebut it with mormon doctrine and references,
which you have done in the past, then you ARE teaching mormon doctrine, no
marter how subtlekly you do it.
So, I can live with that fact that you DO NOT consider that teaching,
which allows you to say that you are NOT teaching mormon doctrine, but I
will adhere to my belief that you ARE teaching mormon doctrine when you do
that.
I will set out to resolve our second point of contention in my next post.

DAVEH: If you want to define teaching as responding to questions about my
beliefs, then you might have a point, Perry. I view it a bit differently
though. To be a teacher, one needs students. For the most part, I don't
view TTers as being students wanting to learn. Witness Debbie's comments
today....
From my LDS perspective, Teachers are to teach the gospel by using the
Word of God. As you know, for the most part....I have refrained from
posting latter-day passages on TT, excepting in specific cases when asked
to do so or it was appropriate for the discussion. As a courtesy to TTers,
I've tried to focus my discussions within the confines of the
Bible.....which in effect composes less than half of what I believe to be
Canon of Scripture. Can I teach Mormonism while ignoring much of what God
has said? Not in my opinion. If I wanted to teach Mormonism, you'd be
seeing a lot of references to our Standard Works instead of just Biblical
quotes.

Dave, do you sometimes teach mormon doctrine on TT?

DAVEH: No, Perry....as I've explained before, that was not what
motivated me to join TT, nor is it the reason I remain.
