Jesus the ventriloquist?

[Paul Christensen]

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and very open about that.

LDS Christians have their misconceptions about what other folks believe (just like any other group of humans is prone to have). But it's not that Athanasian Christians believe in "three gods". Rather by far the most common misconception is that an LDS Christian will think that "Bob" the Athanasian Christian is a modalist. That Bob denies the fact that the Father, Son, and Spirit are three different person, and that Bob believes that the account of Christ's baptism is Christ congratulating himself via an act of ventriloquism. Obviously such is inaccurate.

I will take your word on that. I don't want to hijack the thread by entering into a discussion about the pros and cons of LDS theology. But I am aware of the different factions in the LDS church with the doctrinal differences among them. I think that the Temple Mormons in Salt Lake City are more fundamentally aligned to the strict doctrinal basis of the Book of Mormon than possibly the other existing factions. You might like to comment on that.

I'll send you a PM in a bit. You're right about not thread jacking.

Ok. Obviously I disagree, but I also thank you for taking the time to answer my question and explain your view to me.

My pleasure, anytime.

Yes, but gave you another option on the last post, which you wont dare to comply.
Talk is cheap!

No, you only gave me two options. I stick by my choice of the two. You are lacking the wisdom.

It's not radical. It's been around a long time. - Do you need a dictionary definition of radical?

Not 'what a' God/Man is, but Who the God/Man is. Jesus Christ. - Circular Reasoning

Oh gee I must live up to your judgement of succeeding. No thanks. - You have a very bizarre way of reasoning?

No. why?

I don't mind circular reasoning.

You do also if you think I am concerned about you judging my 'success'. Foolish.
