Well, apparently it is her job to point out that Mormons have "consign[ed] people to hell". My point in asking for a response was to show that she also does "consign people to hell",
I do not consign anyone to hell.
but apparently doesn't feel bad in the least, because it appears to me that Phoebe believes that God loves her type of believers more than Mormons or Hindus. I reject that proposition--God loves us all.
This statement is inflammatory and an attack on my character.
Not everyone on earth loves God. He knows who loves Him. Is John 3:18 translated correctly? What about 1 John 5:12?
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:18
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1 John 5:12
Phoebe Ann, I am calling a unilateral truce (long overdue). I would like to build a better relationship with you. Several people have noted that you appear to enjoy posting argumentative LDS topics.
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing. We are not clones of one another. If a topic comes up that you consider argumentative, no one is forcing you to argue.
If you're truly interested in avoiding being labeled as "intentionally misrepresenting the LDS faith", I would like to offer you a word of advice.
When someone asks you a question, please don't answer with a question, or skirt the issue.
That's a double standard. Many, if not most, of my questions go unanswered. Softspoken answers more questions than most LDS who post here.
It does not create productive dialogue. Please answer the question directly so that your position is clear and not misunderstood.
Now you want me to have the ability to know what others are going to glean from my posts. Well, we all have different abilities. That is not one of mine(study the autism spectrum). I find that LDS show resentment merely because I post here. I do not attack a person's character and make it personal. Other people do.
Phoebe, I wish I could post more frequently like you do and clear up misunderstandings sooner, but my schedule does not allow that. Of course, you probably don't think much of my opinion, but I will extend a hand of cooperation and friendship anyway. I hope you accept my offer of greater civility.
Sure.
