You laugh at me and tell me I am wrong....as normal, you hide behind the “scholarly” views of others.

First: knock off the personal attacks. If you expect to learn anything from me, leave your attitude at the door.

Second: you'll "come up with different answers" less often, if you understand the larger context first. IMO you'll continue to get "different answers" as long as you're trying to fit individual pieces into your existing framework of Mormonism. Trust me now, they won't fit or make sense if you're doing that.

Third: I never do my students' homework, ever. Memorization and regurgitation of raw facts isn't how I teach. I don't do Cliff's Notes. When you've learned something for yourself, you'll be able to give the "Cliff's Notes version" back to me, and that's how I'll know that you understand it.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, do you want to learn from me, or not?

Having read your source material, the one thing that makes the rest of of your belief of no importance to me is how your teachings say that if God did not choose you or me, we are not and cannot be saved, and for His pleasure, you and/or I and everyone else, He did not choose to be in His presence will, be condemned to hell.

I was trying to give you the chance to teach me that I am wrong about your beliefs.

Long before I joined the LDS Church, I keep asking why the religion I followed got different answers from the one Word of God then many other religions got. I had not even heard of the “Mormons” at the time.
