And just for the record, my Christian friends have never once and that includes those who are LDS have EVER tried to "PERFECT" me. They have the utmost respect for my religion as I have for theirs. That's why we are friends.
But based on your comment, I don't expect you to understand that.
“why, thank you! I have your permission? Aren’t you sweet...”
It wasn’t intended as permission, but aren’t you clever with a quip. I don’t think you know what “perfection” means in this sense, nor do you have a clue as to Christian teaching on the matter. But by all means, get offended first, and ask questions later. Simply put, it means “complete reconciliation with God.” The concept is completeness in the spiritual sense. Christians don’t believe that is possible without Jesus as Savior. It’s kind of what the whole religion is based on.
“But based on your comment, I don’t expect you to understand that.”
My goodness, from what part of my comment are you drawing such a grand inference? If you took from my comment that I don’t respect the faith of others, I’d like to know how. That’s a pretty good sized accusation to throw out there. Walk me through it.
