FURTHERMORE, IT IS UTTER NONSENSE TO COMPARE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST TO A STRIPTEASE JOINT. IS THIS BLASPHEMY?
MARLIN DID NOT TALK TO A MAN WHO HAD A JESUS LOVES YOU STRIPTEASE. Marlin claimed to tell me an about a real man with a real Jesus Loves You striptease.
I assume the best of people too. Don't laugh. But Marlin exposed himself early on with his pious righteousness. I recognized him immediately because of the Holy Spirit and over 30 years in the ministry.
Are you going to assume the best of the Mormons in order to be consistent?
I don’t think he lied. I think he was just making a point. Jesus did not say, “Now this is a parable…,” he just told the story. I don’t think he is sneaky. I think he just doesn’t want to do whatever you want because you are antagonizing him. I will assume the best of Marlin until it is proved otherwise. Izzy
