In Mormon circles "Gentile" is used 99% of the time to tell us not to draw divisions between Mormons and others as they did in previous times.

We are not literally calling anyone a 'gentile'.

Define "literally" please.

I see the misuse of the word "Gentile" by Mormons on this board quite often, and the author of this article even uses it.

Moreover, I can find it Mormon literature and atricles all over the net.

Since antiquity, the correct use of that term is to describe non-Jewish persons and non-Jewish nations.

Your posting to me sounded like "It depends on what the definition of 'is' is."
