Imagine how much more productive the scene would be if instead of being apologists holding to dogma, they were scholars of religion able to suspend their preconceptions and hold to truth. I hadn’t heard about these sources on Biblical parallelism in Mr Smith’s day. It’s a wonderful revelation! It’s things like this that keep me going back to the book; it’s at the very least complex and fascinating.
This is not a trick question. I am genuinely interested. When you have "suspended your preconceptions' and "held to truth"...what is that truth?

Flesh it out in a way that the average guy might say, "My gosh, that's the truth! Why did I not recognize it before!"

Who knows, you might have a potential convert here. I'm open. :)

Who is converting who? From the nature of your posts it sounds like you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as am I. I don’t appreciate the dogmatism of the correlation committee and other leaders but I don’t think that constitutes a conversion except maybe away from strict orthodoxy.

It sounds like you’ve gained a reputation for not responding to some questions or challenges. I’d be happy to give you a chance and share some points where I suspended my assumptions in the face of compelling evidence under one condition; if I am going to spend the time digging up the research to make into a coherent response I ask that you do not use A.I. in researching your response as you did when responding to Everybody Wang Chung in “The Most Ridiculous Things in Mormonism”. I would not like to read the apologetic hallucinations of an A.I..

Is that fair?

Fair enough.
