You, Me and the JST. RE: The cordial discussion challenge: Are we on or off???

Or do you just want to bob and weave, post and avoid on this issue? Do I need to remind you of the guidelines?

If what I posted comes under your definition of bobbing and weaving, then I prefer to bob and weave.

I'm not going to have any kind of formal debate on the subject. I believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, and when God wants to further clarify the contents of scripture, he'll do it through a prophet. Greek manuscripts are nice if that's all you've got to go on, but Christians are supposed to have something better: revelation from God.

The point is not whether or not Joseph disagrees with ancient manuscripts. We already know this to be the case. The point is whether or not what God wanted the original authors to convey to us is what Joseph gave us. The only way to know this one way or another is by personal revelation. Greek manuscripts, no matter how many you've got, aren't ever going to be able to give you that answer.
