Dave,
It was an intentional misquoting meant to indicate what I believe is a
more accurate arrangement of the words. The words "Sort of" were intended to
que you and others to the fact that the book does not say exactly what I
quoted, and that I had played with the wording. I really expect that most
everyone on the forum has looked at the Bom and seen that either on the
cover or in the front papers, or has at least seen the TV commercial in
which that line is part of the patter.
Had my intention been to deceive I would not have put the "sort of" in
there. Plus, the statement is so contrary to what mormons claim, that no one
would really believe that is what it says, especially knowing my attitude
towards occultism and heresy. Perhaps contrary to your belief about me, I am
not so stupid as to think I could blatantly misquote a statement that is
right there on the front of the book of mormon and no one would notice. I am
sure Lance and John read that every day as they begin their scripture study.
(That is a joke guys...don't choke on it.)
I do not purport to be versed in LDS theology...but I know enough to see
it for what it is..."The Testament of Another Jesus Christ".

DAVEH: Agreed, Perry. But when one specifically puts something in
quotation marks, the sort of tends to be overlooked. Furthermore, the
question remains....for a guy who is as versed in LDS theology as you
purport to be, was it an honest mistake....or was it /sort of
/intentionally meant to deceive?

*"The Testament of Another Jesus Christ"*
DAVEH: Welcome to the discussion, Perry. In an apparent attempt to
persuade others of your knowledge of Mormonism, you have misquoted an
important tenet of my religion. This is the correct quote.......
ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST
http://scriptures.lds.org/bm/contents
...........you should have mentioned. Now that leaves one to
wonder.....did you as an anti-Mormon make that mistake for the purpose of
misleading people as to what I believe? Or....was it an honest mistake?

Remember, the book of mormon is *"The Testament of Another Jesus
Christ"*. It even says so on the cover...sort of.
