It seems obvious to me that DaveH claims to be here to learn more about our faith, but draws the line at answering embarrassing questions about his own. iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 1:27 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Perry & Dave: inquiring minds want to know   I am confused  with this post.   If you DH are here to observe and take note of the the portestant world,   if any who disagree with the notion of Mormonism as a true religion are anti Mormons, then why do you say anything at all in terms of viable exchange?   You and Blaine and whoever are no more  or less concerned with the "truth" than any on this forum.    Mormon scholarship exists for the sake of Mormon apologetics.   Exegesis is not a part of what your scholars do  --  in fact,  such my be impossible since there are no "original" MSS  in existence today as is the case with Christian scripture. It is all about maintaining  the sect and living lives within those  boundries.   It does not have to be this way.   Seveth Day Adentists are much more a part of mainstream Christianity than they were 50 years ago.   They have initiated exchanges that are bringing them to a cleare r understanding of salvation by grace  as the result of the vicarious death of Christ.   Some of their scholarship has meaning to those who are not a part of their denomination.    Back to the origianl point   --   because of the wording in the included post,   I have no idea why you venture to raise issues of disagreement or make any comments at all.   One can certainly observe in silence.      JD   -----Original Message----- From: Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 07:18:09 -0700 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Perry & Dave: inquiring minds want to know DAVEH:  Nor has my implied answer been clear to you.  I've previously said I would not discuss our Temple ceremonies, nor do I want to discuss LDS theology with anti-Mormons.  Did you not understand that I consider it futile to due business with an anti-Mormon?   As I see it, anti-Mormons are not seeking truth, they are seeking to attack.  Charles Perry Locke wrote: Dave,   Perhaps my question has not been clear...   What does "Pay Lay Ale" mean?   If we are going to do business your way than lay your cards face up on the table.
