No. It is all bold -- first paragaphy in bold caps.

The misspelling is so far off that I decided to include it in my post.

Is this the one you are so hot about JD?
Why must I toe the line with your questions while you drag your feet with mine? And mine came first, remember?
So where is your answer? Still waiting......

If you cannot or will not understand my MY QUESTIONING, why would I assume you would understand my answer to your question -- a different question. I am the one who began this thread, not you.

I want to fully agree with Perry -- but if we share in some misconceptions about Christ, and I think we do, what effect does this have on a soverign being full of grace and patience and love? Assume two things on my part -- that I am not moving to ward a theology of universalism and that I see "faith" as "conviction accompanied with content - whether that content is correct (i.e. Peter's confession) or incorrect (i.e. the non-meat eater in Romans 14).The sovereign being who is full of grace and patience and love has said and done all He is going to say and do JD; truth is truth and error is error. We are either busy following the law of the Spirit that leads to life or the law of sin and death. It is OK to be a baby believer and grow into Christ but the belief of a baby believer even though small will be real and genuine spiritual fruit will begin to become evident. Eating or not eating meat is irrelevant because both meat and the stomach will eventually perish. The important matters are eternal. jt

Still waiting. judytJohn,
None of us DOES have a thouroughly accurate picture of Jesus. But you argument dows not follow from our discussion. I think you can take things away from one's knowledge of Jesus and still have the right one, but start adding stuff, and you get the wrong one. One also can misunderstand an aspect of Jesus, and still be on track.
However, when you start adding extra-biblical stuff you end up with a different jesus. For example, is the Jesus you know the brother of Satan? Did he have a mother and a father in heaven, making him a procreated being? Was his father once a man from the planet Kolob? If so, then you are a mormon! If not, then you know a different Jesus than the mormon Jesus.
One of the primary ways we identify people is by their lineage. Who is their father? Where are they from? Who is their brother? The m ormon jesus fails ALL of these traditional tests for ide n tifying people. Same jesus? You tell me.
