“It seems every time we get close to getting a straight answer from an LDS member on this issue, they accuse the other poster of trying to lay a trap and then they refuse to answer.”
Untrue; I gave you the answer. It evidently wasn’t what you were looking for, so you kept asking the question.
I’ve learned through experience that this is typically some type of trap. You might be sincere; but, then, it’s tough to tell from this side of the monitor.
I won't bother you again if you just answer the three questions I posed:
I promise not to even comment on your answer.
Just give me a straight answer to the following questions:
1) But you do agree that Joseph Smith (the Prophet) taught that, don't you?
2) And you do agree that the LDS Church has not repudiated that teaching, don't you?
3) And you also agree that the things that the LDS Church has taught you are entirely consistent with that "teaching" of Joseph Smith, don't you?
If I don't respond or even comment on your answers, then you can's accuse me of laying a trap, can you? (you don't have to answer that one) :-)
