You're missing the point entirely. I am well aware that you can rationalize away problems with the development of the Trinity. What you don't appear willing or able to acknowledge is that showing you can convince yourself of this is not helpful in this context. You've got to be able to show your dogmatism makes sense to someone not already entirely committed to it, and in that you fail before you even get started.
I'm not missing the point. You are. And I'm not out to convince you, but the readers, who I am confident can judge for themselves. Your bigoted views will never allow you to be uncommitted from your own Mormon based dogmatism. That is why you are the one who fails.

Interesting blog on inerrency. Seems evangelicals have changed positions based on evidence, Mittens. I changed my view on the Bible based on evidence by people like Peter Enns. I changed my view of the Book of Abraham and Book of Mormon also on basis of evidence.
I do not campaign against Mormons at temples etc because I have progressed to the Christian Universalist position of people like Lewis, William Barkley and even Alvin Plantinga.
Read the Old Testament book by book and you get murder, rape, incest, etnnic cleansing, crazy laws.

Well, so far they're not siding with you.

That you can't distinguish between my academic positions and Mormonism is really laughable.
Only in your mind.

Against you all by yourself. So far not a single person agrees with your grotesque misreading of my comments. It's crystal clear, grindael. Why can't you listen to reason?

Reason, from you? Now that's an oxymoron. And over 6000 people have viewed these two threads. I don't see multitudes coming and sticking up for you, Daniel. You got a couple of people who are friendly with you to agree with you, and many are simply not commenting about this at all. Oh my, now that's scientific. You do know how ridiculous you sound, don't you?

There are a lot of lurkers here, and most of those views occurred before you arrived. I see exactly zero people coming to defend you, though.

No, that's not it.
