Introduction

In early 1994, I started actively participating on various internet lists that discuss topics relating to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These internet discussion lists include hundreds of members of the church all over the world. A 'post' is a submission to the list which is then sent to every subscriber to that list. This book contains a collection of many of the posts that I have submitted to these internet lists, as we have discussed various gospel topics.

I decided to compile them into a single source because of the many hours that I have invested in this activity. I did not want to lose the research and study that I have participated in. I also wanted an easy reference to use for future use since many of these topics are discussed over and over again on the internet LDS lists.

The majority of these posts were originally submitted to the ZION list. Others were submitted to the following lists: JOSEPH, LDS-NET, ALMA-L, and SCRIPTURE-L.

I hope the reader will find some value in reading these posts. I freely admit that mistakes have been made. At times, my logic may be flawed. I haven't always presented both sides of an issue, but sometimes may only present the support for the opinion that I have on the issue.

You will find the character ">" preceding several comments. These are anonymous comments from other people or are comments that I inserted into the text to help the reader understand the context of the discussion.

I'm grateful to my friends on the internet for the stimulating discussions that have generated all of these posts. I would also be very ungrateful if I didn't recognize that the Spirit has played an important part in many of the writings contained in this book.
