After wading through the quicksand of “sequential modalism, expansionistic modalism, and Sabellian Sequentialism or Swedenborgian Expansionism”, we're left with “Yet even with changes so vast, the aroma of Joseph Smiths early modalism continued to flavor to the end his thinking and his description of the relationship between the Father and the Son.”.
In other words, Smith's early statements of belief could be seen in his later writing.
To which I can say, AND. And what?
If I want to Evangelize, which is the persuasion of the director of IRR, I should think I'd be less concerned with the flavor and aroma of Smith's writing and teachings and more concerned with the meat of whether such teachings are Scriptural.
