DAVEH: I'm a little too slow (and too tired) to ascertain your
intended message, Lance. If you want me to understand what you are
trying to convey, put it in more simple terms for this dunderhead.
Did Jesus' theology nullify who God is as perceived by the Jews?
As he said....he didn't come to destroy the law, but rather fulfill it.
FWIW.......It seems to me the Jews could say something similar to
you as to what you are saying to me.......
YOU CANNOT PREACH THE GOD YOU PREACH AND
CALL YOURSELF GOD'S CHOSEN IN ANY HISTORIC SENSE
.............You do realize this, do you not?

DaveH:I just re-read my question(s)
and, find them rather clear. Please try telling me what YOU THINK I'm
asking. Your analogy breaks down as it has to do with Older/Newer
Testaments and the Incarnation of Christ. What you've (LDS) done is to
have taken orthodox theology and nullified it with a superceding
revelation as to WHO THIS JESUS IS. You then, answer the question posed
by Jesus Himself in Lk 16 differently than every genuinely Christian
group on the face of the earth.YOU DO KNOW THAT, DON't YOU? YOU CANNOT
PREACH THE JESUS YOU PREACH AND CALL YOURSELF CHRISTIAN IN ANY HISTORIC
SENSE. YOU KNOW THIS ALSO DO YOU NOT? I fear poor old CPL might've
thought I was confused as to who you actually are. I'M NOT!!
Why not take another run at it just
for my sake.

Re: [TruthTalk] Perry vs DaveH
DAVEH: I'm not exactly sure of your question, Lance.....But as I view
it, the position of many TTers is analogous to the Jews of Bible
times. In the OT, Scripture gave them a perception of God to which the
staunchly held. So firm in their convictions (as are many TTers), they
had trouble acknowledging the Lord when he finally
appeared....why....because he was more like them than they expected I
suppose. Nor did they buy into additional Scripture being added to
Canon, which is another similarity shared by TTers. Many also failed
to accept new commandments or recognize the NT prophets, rather
stubbornly holding fast to the eye for an eye prophets of the past.
So.....is there really much difference between the closed minds of
the Jews of the Bible in contrast to the way many TTers are receptive
to anything outside what they believe Scripture offers?

Who are your teachers? What are their authorities? What
'teaching' concerning the nature/gospel of God issues from these
teachers and their teaching sources? Just how 'ultimate' IYO is the
James 1 experience?
IMO that which transpires herein (TT) is somewhat comparable
to the 1st and, early centuries between the various factions who set
out to answer such questions as those concerning the canon of Scripture
and, the nature of the Person of Christ.
IMO there exists sufficient similarity between the Christ
believed/lived/preached on the part of the 'camp' of the non-Mormons
for them/us to be identified with the historic 'orthodox' wing of
Christianity. The Mormon 'camp', having taken on board supplementary
'scriptures' and, a new line of 'prophets' commencing with Joseph
Smith, cannot but fall within a 'non-orthodox' wing of Christianity.
Other than reversing my designations of
orthodox/non-orthodox, just how might you disagree with what I've said?
I should much like to hear from Dave and Blaine, along with any
'lurkers' on this.
thanks,
Lance
