To the OP. Partisanship aside, I really doubt this matters much at all. Everyone knows at this point that Trump's stream-of-consciousness style of speaking means he often says off-putting and/or inaccurate things that shift based on context. He would just as likely say the exact opposite had he been speaking about someone in the audience who received the Medal of Honor. Those who choose to vote for him (even while 'holding their nose') are unlikely to be sufficiently offput by these remarks to change their decision. Therefore, I declare this analysis a nothing-burger.

People are bringing this up again.

Exactly. The 'outside' is not within the realm of things that exist or can exist.

Sadly, I'm probably more of a semi-regular (a.k.a less active) at this point. So little time, so much to do! I take no offense and was just trying to poke fun, haha.

I see I was left out. I suppose that means I'm not actively engaged enough anymore. 🫤🤷‍♂️

I was looking for the book in the image. I found it! "Do the Mormons have a leg to stand on?" by Scott R. Peterson

Someone recently shared a post on Twitter about early Catholic fathers who believed in a concept of 'preexistence'. I shared the same image with a friend who is curious about the name of the book. I have tried using AI and have tried web search for some of the text and have come up empty handed. Anyone here familiar with this or have skills they can deploy to find the source? Thanks!

Most people I associate with regularly are exceptions to your rule. I think it is less about age and more about who has allowed themselves to be indoctrinated by the left and those who call themselves 'allies'. Also depends on what you mean by 'hardcore against it'.

The parts not stricken through.

Sorry I keep disappearing. Life, lol.

Some of this is already happening.

I get what you are saying and I believe this is mostly a lexical disagreement. I will also argue that, in my view, what you are saying here is meaningfully equivalent to what I said. I will add the clarifying note that, if there is anything the Father cannot Himself do alone, it is only because the capacity to do so is not something that exists within reality. If anyone needs them, I am happy to provide relevant passages from the scriptures that relate to this discussion, my position, and why I am willing to be more explicit in the way I said what I did (I know Vort already knows them).

That is exactly what it means. The Father can neither dwell within us, nor lay down His own life, because He is already a perfected, immortal being. The Son offered Himself to fulfill the Father's plan, and the Holy Spirit did the same relevant to His role. The Godhead exists out of necessity. The Father, being perfect in every way, would not have introduced roles and members of the Godhead that He was capable of filling on His own. This is also another reason that it can be rightly said that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God. None of them possess the capacity to bring about the salvation and exhalation of man alone. Hence, united, they operate as one God.
