My concern with this line of questioning has as much to do with how I view Judy Taylor as it has to do with Blaine and Dave. Judy denies that Jesus is the eternal Son of God. Why should I not consider her to be a heretic? And will your answer put her "within the fold" while excluding Blaine and Dave.jt: Because you have as yet to show proof that Jesus IS the ETERNAL Son of God in scripture and you have not done this. Still waiting. judytJohn,
None of us DOES have a thouroughly accurate picture of Jesus. But you argument dows not follow from our discussion. I think you can take things away from one's knowledge of Jesus and still have the right one, but start adding stuff, and you get the wrong one. One also can misunderstand an aspect of Jesus, and still be on track.
However, when you start adding extra-biblical stuff you end up with a different jesus. For example, is the Jesus you know the brother of Satan? Did he have a mother and a father in heaven, making him a procreated being? Was his father once a man from the planet Kolob? If so, then you are a mormon! If not, then you know a different Jesus than the mormon Jesus.
One of the primary ways we identify people is by their lineage. Who is their father? Where are they from? Who is their brother? The m ormon jesus fails ALL of these traditional tests for ide n tifying people. Same jesus? You tell me.
