Not your average Mormon
If I had said "Catholics are not Christians," I would fully expect to hear you and every other Catholic to stand up and say, "I am a Christian." You would have every right to do so.Scott1 said:I could care less how you describe yourself... my opinion is permitted here and I never made reference to you personally...
What is going on, Scott? How did I "freak out"? I'm glad to see (based on your subsequent post) that you decided not to bow out of this thread after all. But I truly am confused. You said, "for anyone in the LDS faith to believe anything of history in the first century of Christianity would force you to reject your faith... and I don't see that happening anytime soon!" I replied that I wouldn't trade my faith for "man-made doctrines of the fourth and fifth centuries." I fail to see that as "freaking out." If you believe that the doctrines in question were divinely inspired, please tell me why you feel this way. If you feel uncomfortable in discussing the subject, please tell me that, too, and I'll bow out. I just don't see why the hostility all of a sudden..... and while I disagree with you, I will not make this personal.... you seem to have lost your ability to discuss LDS faith without freaking out... so I will bow out of this thread.
