[TruthTalk] A Discussion About Jesus

[Dave]

DAVEH:   Thank you for engaging me on this, Bill.   I really don't know how it will turn out, or to where it will lead.  But I think it could be interesting to see with what we do and do not agree.     Let me toss out a few things I believe about Jesus, and then in reply you can respond to whether you agree or disagree.  Then you can add a few (shall we keep it to just a few) more attributes (if that is the proper word) in your reply to which I will respond in like manner.   1)  I believe Jesus was born of a virgin mother. 2)  I believe Jesus existed in a pre-mortal existence. 3)  I believe Jesus died on the cross in our behalf.     Now Bill, if you will respond to whether your agree or disagree, and then add a few of your own beliefs about Jesus to which I will respond.  (Yes...I know my first 3 are pretty simple and you will probably agree.  However, I suspect they will soon get more paradigm biased, and we will come up with some contrasting beliefs.)

In the meantime, if you like you can work something up from your side.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 6:48 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Apologetic for the eternal sonship of Christ DAVEH:   If you will remember, Lance....I tried to start a thread where we could compare how we (LDS) perceive Jesus with how other TTers understand him.  All I got was some criticism for starting such by showing 2 instances where we probably agree.  Instead of continuing the thread by contributing more attributes as other see Jesus...the thread withered for lack of interest.     If anybody wants to continue it, I would be more than happy to compare what I believe to what any of you believe, and then we can ponder whether the differences are pertinent to our salvation.  Any takers? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
