One may think one's motive for making a cheap shot is as pure as the driven snow. It is no less a cheap shot.

 

Of course.  But a cheap shot requires one to have the motive of unfairly or maliciously attacking another.  I did not.  I referenced the comment because, as I said, it hurt people.

I've said my piece on this matter. Take it up with Smac97 if you (and he) want to pursue it.

Oddly.  I didn't see him saying anything about wanting any LDS members to change their views or even the Church itself.  He might want it, just as I do.  But what he seems to be saying to me is let's just learn to accept each other.  To which you respond by saying I can't do that because of my discipleship.  Well, there's the problem.  he's wanting to see people come together no matter if they agree or not and embrace a love towards each other.  You reject that option because, says you, you feel forced to choose between fellowship and discipleship if someone shows up and thinks they can be gay and Mormon.  That's a hard position to speak to for sure. 

I figured at the very bottom we can agree that everyone should be made to feel welcome and we shouldn't be quick to decide between fellowship and discipleship because discipleship is nothing more than fellowship.  

 

 

The discipleship doesn't come close to what Jesus has taught...IMO.

I already settled the dramatics of calling it a cheap shot by him.  Then you chimed in, so I responded.

By "already settled" do you mean you posted something and he has not (yet) responded? Don't know if I would call that "already settled."

I believe this was brought in the other thread, but I so not see the counsel of “listening” ss having worship time bogarted with shame the LDS people for their beliefs or for making baseless accusations against the Church. 

I also question the motive of the meeting. One of the speaker stated to effect that he looks forward to day when our Church buildings have signs that read “All are welcome” rather than “Visitors Welcome”. “All are welcome” on Church signs is usually accompanied with a rainbow flag. Also in the talks given there was not much - if any - discussion of adhering to our Doctrines on marriage AND simultaneously loving our neighbors.

Alright, Scott, if you're eager we can continue talking.  I said "already settled" because from my perspective it's been settled.  I don't know, and pretty much don't care much, what he thinks about the matter.  I'm glad to see you're dropping it in favor of talking about other things, it makes me feel too, you lost.  :D

You are a legend in your own mind.
