FRiend, there are no "minion games" and no "setting aside" any gospel.
But, as partly explained in post #2,467, I have not addressed John 1 for the following reasons:
MHGGinTN: "The smooth, demonic minion denial comes fashioned as questions, questioning the faithe/faithing of those we were raised to respect as Christian men and women founding a nation."
But I am not "questioning" our Founders' faith, I'm telling you they were not, in large part, traditional Christians.
Instead, their Christianity was influenced, to greater or lesser degrees, by their Age of Enlightenment, by deism, Unitarianism and Freemasonry.
Those are not "questions", they are facts.
MHGGinTN: "The Mormonism 'apologists' do the same demonic deed and pat themselves on the back praising their clever manipulation of words and meanings."
I am not Mormon, but some of my relatives are, and they are the nicest, best people you can imagine.
There is nothing "demonic" about them, and for you to claim such says nothing about them, and a lot about you.
My purpose here is not to proselytize you, only to ask for your understanding and respect for the religious opinions of those who, like many Founding Fathers, don’t share your Trinitarian orthodoxy.
***If that were your purpose, you’d have been posting on religion threads long ago. Even I would assist you in establishing a “heresy” tag on the religion forum.
