DAVEH: So, Perry....do you still believe I am lying about this, or do you
view it as a difference of definition?
I have never said that you were lying about this. In my statement about
our second point of contention I said you were lying. That is covered in
another post.
What I did say is that you are being disingenuous in that you (from my
perspective) say you do not teach, but you do. I believe that you have
crafted a definition for "teaching" that excludes your particular style of
teaching.
So, to answer your question, yes, we disagree on the definition of
"teaching" relative to what you are actually doing when you present mormon
doctrine unsolicited. I call it teaching, you do not.
BTW.....Roughly how many times do you think I've quoted LDS Scripture,
excluding the Bible?
I have no idea. Maybe none, maybe some. That is not the point. The point
is teaching mormon doctrine when you say you aren't. You can do that without
ever referencing a single mormon text. Deepak Chopra teaches hinduism
without ever referencing any hindu texts.

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.
Perry
