You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. Guess I'll just have to wait until it's published and peer reviewed. At that point I will need your address so I can mail you a spoon and you can eat your words. : )
I believe that maklelan "dogmatically" dodges answering the question concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ. Is Jesus Christ God, or is he a created being? What does marklelan believe and what do Mormons believe?
The reality is that there are numerous versions of the Bible and numerous ancient Bible text that if studied basically support each other. The Book of Mormon only has one text and that is the one written down by Joseph Smith. There are no checks and balances. The is no copy of the Book of Mormon at it was in its "original" tongue. There is every indication that the original language of the Book of Mormon was early 19th century English.

I've done no such thing. I'm the only one actually willing to discuss it. You and yours just cower in the corner and throw useless rhetorical jabs in my direction in the hopes that it will distract people from your cowering in the corner.

No and yes, according to the New Testament, although later New Testament authors certainly viewed him as a god.

My personal beliefs are absolutely irrelevant, and if you don't know what Mormons believe, maybe you shouldn't be on this forum belligerently barking so much about what Mormons believe.

Actually, the ancient versions, if studied, show just as much conflict and confluence. That's the actually reality.

I'm not disputing this. I'm disputing your naïve misrepresentation of the state of the biblical text.
