No response...means they are fed up with me. I am either to dense for their greatness or they simply have no patience for miniscule things like the truth.

As for being Mormon210 - that is true, but since I haven't participated in so long I did not remember my online name. So I used Quizno's since that was what I was eating at the time. Finally, I was being indoctrinated by LV, so I said that I would just bow down to his/her greatness and become the humble Grasshopper (teachable and eager). Now in order to assume all those identities I just take a little of each thus - Quzno210hopper

Finally, I think the debate is still on in that if Christ is to remain perfect both in the flesh and in the Spirit (the paradox developed by LV) then He would have to obey the flesh commandment and the spirit commandment. I also think your "what would be appropriate in the culture" argument was excellent.

Most of all, if Christ weren't married, I simply won't drop my faith and all the sudden become a lipservice religionist. I still believe that I have made covenants that are beneficial to myself, my family, and my community. I won't diminish these covenants at the expense of my ego. In other words, I would prefer to be labeled dumb, blind and illogical than to break the covenants I have made such as fidelity to my wife, honesty in my dealings with my fellow man, zealous in my love for my Eternal Savior, give all I have to building up the kingdom of Zion on this earth, etc.

Well...I do seem to have the knack of jumping into things late... Ah well...Thanks for the compliment and for clearing up the name game!!

I have noticed that many people forget that when they read scriptures, be it Old Testament, New Testament, Book Of Mormon, Kabala, etc., that we are dealing with 3 worlds (meaning cultures or points of view);

1) The world behind the text (the author�s world),
2) The world within the text (the characters� world) and
3) The world in front of the text (that would be the reader�s world).

This can cause so much confusion in interpreting old documents, such as the scriptures, since many people know little about cultures (worlds) outside of their own. By that I mean that they interpret what they read by their own point of view, such as the debate on the meaning of �commandments�. Knowing the background of the world behind and within the texts, helps us better interpret and understand the meaning of the texts. It gives us a three dimensional view, if you will.

Anyway�just though I�d add that!

Hope the others join in again! What happened to everyone? This board used to be so active!
