So, too, should apologists welcome constructive criticism from other apologists. <br /><br />I believe the answers to the Book of Abraham issues exist and ultimately will be illuminated, and that the work I've done has helped - but I also am open to criticism. The problem is the LACK of criticism. The LACK of engagement and feedback. So, I appreciate the times when you have addressed some of the arguments I've made, even though we ultimately disagree. Love you Kerry.

I personally remain skeptical, and am in the process of putting together some serious responses to their continuing outdated approach, which I believe they know it is outdated, but cannot come up to snuff. It would threaten their own employment and the church's truth status. It appears to be that serious to me personally, and I shall engage with it as I have time.<br /><br />I agree we CAN come into a new age of dialogue on this Book of Abraham, but I have serious doubts it will actually occur. The evidence is against it being true, and that is not something anyone in the church wants to hear or see. But, I can be corrected as well, so long as it is valid evidence and good methodology, all of which has not existed within the church, on this issue, since day one.Kerry Shirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071947829451013579noreply@blogger.com
