Deceased LDS apostle Bruce McConkie, author of "Mormon Doctrine," advised BYU students in a 1973 devotion not to seek a special relationship with Jesus Christ.

Yay for out of context. In fact your scripture quotes are out of context as well or incomplete.

I know the speech of which you speak. It was actually in 1982. You leave a lot out just by saying he advised against a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Strangely enough he also talked about his speech not being an "end to controversy or to the spread of false views and doctrines."

Yea that's right, dead guy talking about something you are doing today. Freaky isn't it...

Yes, I did have the year wrong. People can check for themselves the context by searching it out on the Web. But you concede quite a bit when you say, "You leave a lot out just by saying he advised against a relationship with Jesus Christ." You thereby address what I didn't say about McConkie's words while conceding he indeed say what I did said he said.
