"Protestants" are just one detestable group of pagans in the group
of "gentiles".
Doesn't it seem interesting that DaveH finds such intrique with a
pagan group like the "protestants".
DAVEH: What's with the pagan stuff, Perry. That sounds like
something you guys have called me, but FTR......I do not want any TTers
to think for one second that I consider any of you folks to be pagans.
As for your mention of.........
they call everyone who is not a mormon a "gentile"
..........You really do not understand the nature of what that means,
so you might want to be careful about pretending to know something you
don't. It reflects poorly on your image, Perry.
he insists on calling us "protestants" as a disrespect.
DAVEH: Nonsense. I will give you the same advice I gave John.....If
you can't quote me exactly, then don't pretend to quote me at all by
putting words in my mouth. FTR........I have much more respect for
Protestants than you will ever imagine, and as such I certainly have
more respect for Protestants than I do for those who misquote me.

Doesn't it seem interesting that DaveH finds such intrique with a
pagan group like the "protestants". Their own founder claimed the
mormon god told him that he should join NO denomination, and that ALL
denominations were an abomination. As you have stated, even though most
on this group do not consider themselves "protestants" per se and have
identified themselves as being members of the church Jesus started,
being members of the body of Christ, he insists on calling us
"protestants" as a disrespect. If he respected us he would call us
what we are...members of the body of Christ. Christians.

David, do you understand how the Mormons use this word "protestant?"
Do you understand that I do not like that characterization? Do you
understand that it is gross sectarianism that insists on the
separation between RCC and those who reject papel authority? Do you
know that there are millions of Catholics who do not accept Papel
authority? Do you understand that I have a right to expect not to be
branded with a Mormon slang word used by them to describe all who are
not of "the [Mormon] truth?" "protestant" is another way of saying
"unbeleiver" or "pagan." We are not fooling anyone, here. I have seen
their chat rooms !! Do you understand that when DH uses this
word, he necessarily attaches to it ideas that are definitely not of
my approveal?
This should be an easily resolved issue. But it is not. The Mormons
insist on using this word because that is what their buds do, in
private. All Mormons I know use this word and in the same manner as
Blaine and DH. Get off the pot and smell the roses. You are not
scoring any points with the Mormons in this.

John, do you understand the difference between a historical perspective
and a philosophical one?
Let's consider the philosophical concern a little more closely. A
Protestant is defined broadly as a member of a church that rejects
papal authority.
-------------
Prot·es·tant
[noun]
member of church rejecting papal authority: a member or adherent of any
denomination of the Western Christian church that rejects papal
authority and some fundamental Roman Catholic doctrines, and believes
in justification by faith.

Aimee rejected papal authority. Do you, John, accept or reject the
authority of the pope as being the vicar of Christ?
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
