Dr. Schell, What I said was not said from sarcasm or satire. If I am inaccurately reporting the beliefs of the Mormons, I welcome your careful correction. Your caricature of evangelicals is not up to the standards of a man of academic teaching quality. As Joe Friday used to say, "The facts, just the facts, mam". I believe in only the use of biblical names for the church, so I will not defend the use of other appellations. But nailing an apple to a telephone pole and calling it an apple tree doesn't make it so! I am quite willing to enter into a dialogue in search of the truth of God's Word, if you are willing. But I have no interest in verbal sparring just to play to an audience of those who will cheer you on to draw emotional blood. Yours servant for Jesus' sake, Tom temackey.jn17.21@...
