Does Mormonism Encourage LDS People to Lie? - Brooks

[_Cicero]

I posted this in the MD&D quote thread but I think it gives an insight into the thought process.

You continue to unwittingly make my case. The gospel is about coming to Christ and becoming like him. "Truth" is but one of several means to achieving that end, though only in so far as those "truths" are relevant to that end. Not all "truths" will free us from chains of sin and spiritual death and free us to become like Christ. In fact, some "truths" may distract us from that end, and perhaps enslave us in counterproductive obsessions--as the case may be. This is a "truth" that you seem incapable of getting--which is, in part, why you and others like you haven't been called to the important task of constructing the curriculum for the Church. This is a position which needs to be filled by people who know what they are doing and know what the Church is all about.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

You had to bring that one back up again? That post is really not good for my blood pressure.

Who cares? Regardless of what actually happens in the future as to Church growth, its "people like me" who will be on the lifeboats and well away from the suction when the secularist/progressive Titanic takes its final plunge, along with the rest of the culture, supported, aided, and abetted by people like you and Joanna Brooks.

Most likely Mormonism will end up a footnote in history with people in the future reading tripe like yours and wondering how people could ever have been that angry and crazy.

Brook's new Church of Progressive Postmodern Latter day Academics is not going to have many takers among those who are actually faithful members of the real article.

You mean that the faithful will not experience the same struggle with furnishing misleading answers?
