The symbolism is so much more precise and meaningful -- comparing
a star to the cross !!!
It is more than telling that the Mormon religion , at this point, reads so very differently from the biblical text ............... and I do not think we are simply discussing the opinion of a couple of good Mormons.
If you (all) believe in the concept of "scripture" and include the biblical text in this thinking, I would be asking how it is that the biblical scriptures carry such a differing emphasis on so many issues from the remaining and distinctly Mormon scriptures.
Pretty disappointing to me, I must admit.
