And as someone said, Loyd is merely responding to a contention about ancient attitudes, something hard to prove, by showing that in his experience, many christians admit to the notion of currently not understanding 'God's love'.wickendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259602039102803508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-47816907065226534362010-02-19T04:39:51.680-08:002010-02-19T04:39:51.680-08:00Nonsense like "ask most christians..." c...<em>Nonsense like "ask most christians..." can hardly be considered anything close to good counterpoint</em><br /><br />The point being responded to was, "[The rest of the Christian world] lost the understanding of God's love for us. They did not know that we are his children." Enlighten us: what's a good counterpoint to a bald assertion? <br /><br />Because I think pointing out that the rest of the Christian world has quite a bit to say about God's love for us and being his children works pretty well. <br /><br /><em>Propaganda for the brainless...</em><br /><br />You have perfectly summarized Gospel Principles Chapter 16.

In many respects, this narrative is no more sophisticated in its treatment of "the other" than your average countercult manual.<br /><br />But, I give Mormons more of a pass than the evangelicals, because this narrative is largely a founding Mormon belief, whereas the evangelical narrative is something they came up with on their own time...Christopher Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539170598198122642noreply@blogger.com
