You are equivocating your accusation. You stated that I am condemning Mormons. That is a false accusation. Condemning Mormons is not my prerogative, and I have not engaged in it. Instead of producing any shred of evidence that I condemned Mormons, as if I were attacking them and strongly disapproving of them personally, you now try to switch the terms of the accusation to a distinction that I made between the idea of Mormon multiple Gods [Beings] and the Christian view of One Triune God [Being]. The notion that being able to distinguish, and indeed distinguishing different theological doctrines of God is to engage in personal condemnation is a non-sequitur. You should retract the accusation.

I apologize. I wrongly accused you of denying that Mormons are Christian. I reviewed your posts and you never said that. I just assumed that you had. I was wrong and you are correct.

You should do your own research. Nevertheless I will show you proofs. Keep in mind that that the whole mass of the New Testament is evidence for the Trinity, and that it is saturated with evidence of the Deity of Christ and the Divine personality of the Holy Spirit. To impose a requirement on an ancient text to state the doctrine in one verse to appease your modern sensibilities is to engage in esigesis, that is, of imposing a meaning on the text that is foreign to it and not letting the text speak for itself.

The following is the sort of evidence I prefer over argumentation. This is one of the better lists that I have seen, in my younger years such evidences I saw in books.

I actually read through your list of evidence. The last couple of sections were missing (but that is OK ^_^). Where Mormons would quibble is in the the Holy Spirit being a person. But I don't think there is a single scripture that you quoted that Mormons would find contrary to their religion. The differences basically boil down to the interpretation and from a broad perspective they are very minor differences.

Where there is an apology and a correction I want to be eager to forgive. I really do appreciate your willingness to apologize. It's not easy for me to do it, that's for sure.

For some reason when the words are communicated in black and white on a screen they sometimes appear harsher than they were intended. Maybe that's what is happening here. I don't know. I do want to communicate in a clear manner and I'm sure I fail in good writing sometimes. So I appreciate your willing attitude in this regard.

I hope that much is clear. At the same time I want to be clear that I think that Mormon doctrine of the nature of God is not Christian. However, Mormons are accountable to God for what they believe and teach, not to me. Condemnation and justification of people is God's business, not mine. "Judge of the entire world" is not in my job description. I do not want to presume to have authority to condemn any person. God is a righteous judge, though and He can handle the job of justification and condemnation perfectly well without my help.

I don't think there is a single scripture that you quoted that Mormons would find contrary to their religion.

Let me ask you about one aspect of the evidence. Do you think that Mormons worship Jesus and pray to him as is demonstrated by the Scipture passages in my last post?

Cordially,
