Canonical criticism is clearly not always appropriate and its not appropriate unconditionally. IF SIEQ responds with the position that he wasn't that interested in original intent (or that in addition to original intent he was interested in what Alma 7:12-13 means to the current Mormon community) then I concede that you are a correct and I am wrong and furthermore that canonical criticism is likely the best tool to proceed with. Finally I actually agree that Hebrews (even given an interest in original intent) is not irrelevant particularly given the scholarly work in Mormon studies that asserts a relation (dependence) between Hebrews and Alma 13.

Although the spirit knoweth all things, we assume his having mortal experiences makes it all the more authentic. Physically, he experienced much....but how could he have experienced it all? |

Does Spirit = Son of God? Is this the omnipresent spirit/god/matter/substance of DC88? The unrisen Jesus did not have a fullness.
