DAVEH: Not so long ago, I tried to have an exchange with another TTer
about our respective beliefs about Jesus. As I remember, I started out
with about 4 attributes I believed about Jesus. The other TTer tried to
respond, but the discussion brought about such a ration of clutter (so
to speak), the other participant elected to bow out rather than deal
with the flotsam & jetsam. I think it's safe to say that few TTers
really want to know, or even care about, the differences a Mormon may
have in his beliefs about Jesus. Apparently, it is more important for
some to emphasize the differences, in order to persuade others to
believe that Mormons do not believe in the Biblical Jesus.

MAY ANSWER IS (stage direction: everyone stops what they're doing and,

not been attentive to my engagement with the Mormons on TT. The
periphoral issues are, IMO, not worth the attention being paid them. I
believe the central issue to be: WHO IS JESUS? I've attempted to speak
to it on several occasions. Should one theologically literate Mormon
believer decide to do so (address that issue) I believe that the
matter could be put to rest once and for all.
