As you know, we can look at the same writings and come up with different answers.

I have tried to be nice so I can understand your view, and as normal, you hide behind the “scholarly” views of others.

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?
