readstoomuch Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 406-407. One of the last truly faith promoting podcasts on MormonStories. It is a good one though.
Storm Rider Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 CC, a request. Please never use "Xtian". There are few things more personally offensive than when I read this. It takes the most significant person out of the conversation. I could provide a host of reasons why I think this is important, but it is only a request to write it Christian, please. Cheers,

Storm Rider Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 X is the Greek letter for Christ. I understand that and know that, but in English it becomes a problem. I freely acknowledge this is my own personal problem and is not a reflection on others and their intentions when they use this form of writing. Though we might be aware of it, many readers will not be and it can give the wrong impression of the value LDS place on Christ and the respect we give him.

Though we might be aware of it, many readers will not be and it can give the wrong impression of the value LDS place on Christ and the respect we give him. Then the answer is to teach the true meaning. I use x-mas and x-tian all the time.
Storm Rider Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Let's move on. No need to derail. I have already stated it was a personal issue and a request. Whether anyone wishes to comply with my request is also a personal matter. I never use the term in writing or speaking for the reasons stated. Moving on.
CCRW Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 I have no problems trying to honor SR's request.Can I link this interview for others convenience, it is worth the 5 minutes listen from the time stamp given for this conversation. 1. He claims His God is not the same as the Protestant God and has no problem with that (peculiar people concept)2. His applying study of Christ to an "inclusive Christ", a historical Christ has shored up his beliefs on grace (contrary to last GC?) The 2.5 hrs of the whole 2 part interview was excellent.
