“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
Two things:
1. To my atheist friends – By not wanting to hear the voice of Jesus Christ, how can you say that you are interested in truth?
2. To my LDS friends – By claiming pre-existence like Jesus Christ, are you not also setting yourselves up to be in the same relationship of experiential truth that Jesus has with the Father?
