[@nolansnizek3533]

​@@LCmonmanit changed my life becuase I kinda had a faith crisis about how the church has 100 billion dollars and could quite literally end world hunger tomorrow but doesn't. It makes sense now! They are saving there money because times are going to be hard... just look at the stock market things are not good. Times are getting worse. And just like the Egyptians they put a side food for hard times. It makes sense now

I hated school and did not graduate from high school. It was the gospel that taught me about the excitement and even joy of learning. Elder Bednar's insights are Wonderful and can be felt. Today I would have been a college graduate.

[@exposingfakechristianity5556]

What you and all mormons need to learn is what the truth and Christianity of the Bible actually is. Mormonism has nothing whatsoever to do with the Jesus, nor the Christianity of the Bible.

[@michaelcrowley9008]

​@@exposingfakechristianity5556only response that I can give that means anything; is instead of leaning upon other's experiences such as the witnesses of the Bible, seek out those experiences with God for yourself. Because, just think about it: where did these records in the Bible come from? They come from God to people who actually experienced it. The people of the Bible are real people. They had real experiences. And God wants you to both know that they did have them, & He wants us to act in Faith that we too may experience the same results. So in summary, the scriptures are a template. An equation. If this happens then this is the result. God invites us to participate in the equations He provided. I'll borrow a statement paraphrased from this video: love to learn, by discovery. When God is the one teaching you, discovery is on a whole new level. So; As Mathew 7 says: Ask God. Seek God. Knock unto God. And as James 1 says: ask your questions and with God, you will find them in Him. (In His Due Time.) Good luck. I can honestly say this, and do so in love. I've experimented on the Bible and based my finding on both the scriptures and the witness from God. I hope you and everyone does the same. No matter the result of an honest trial of this course action, will eventually lead us all to Christ. And from Christ to The Father. Edit; FYI, I realize I didn't make it clear in this commentary: I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. I use the same course of faithful action upon all scripture: The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ, The Holy Bible, The pearl of Great Price, and The Doctrine and Covenants. & Speakers of God throughout all time, callings, authority that God puts forth, all Doctrine, etc. Sometimes my understanding taken to God gets denied or forgotten. Other times it gets verified or reinforced. This can be experienced via The Holy Spirit of Truth, the Love and Mercy of Jesus Christ, & the Love and Power and Justice of The Father.

This showed up on my feed so I decided to listen. Thoroughly enjoyed “learning” from this interview! I just became 79 years old and, I too, love to learn. The older I get, the more I know how much I don’t know. I compare myself to a small ant living in an unknown space just walking around, eating, sleeping (when I can sleep), and doing what I was put on earth to do- learn! Most recently, I’m learning how to love unconditionally, my family, friends, and strangers I see for just a few minutes of my life. Thank you!

[@exposingfakechristianity5556]

I was interested in Elder Bednar's comments regarding the miraculous successes because so much of the church work is done by volunteers. For the last five years, I have been serving as a full-time volunteer in several different positions -- four of them -- in two areas outside of the United States. All I can say after this experience, is "Thank goodness for the volunteers!" Without too many exceptions, the volunteers accomplish much more on a daily basis than their employee counterparts.

[@leswalker2639]

After I could see that elder bedner was going to be on the show. I thought I would watch a little bit and go about my day and watch the rest later. But that didn't happen. I was glued to the screen and it was very interesting. And a learning opportunity to watch these two discuss reality. Elder bednor Has so much information stored in that brain of his. It is a blessing to just listen to him talk about the Lord and many other things. That's why I love to listen to the apostles speak because they are so intelligent with the gospel of Jesus Christ and His teachings. You always learn something from them. It's really too bad that the other Christian churches don't watch this type of program. It would truly benefit them and their congregation.

[@beckischreyer]

I was raised by a University professor father… who told me that the most important lesson I would learn in college… is how to learn… and find answers to questions… and he… and Elder Bednar are exactly right. I can say this after a 40 year career in public accounting… that I’m retiring from in May 🎉

You call unqualified people and surround them by people who are, and what better person than Christ, and let them grow into their responsibilities.

[@nicholasread5397]

Imagine that! Organizations that fail to provide answers to the world's most pressing problems will fail to attract the rising generation. The ageing population that comprises their dwindling membership, still following the traditions of their fathers, will eventually die off, and with them so will the organizations to which they belong. And so, one by one, they will all fail and great (numerous) will be the fall thereof. Meanwhile, the Lord's Church will go forth boldly, nobly and independent, solving the issues that matter, lifting people out of poverty through education, and being a gathering place for all those who seek truth and can no longer find it anywhere else. In the past five years the number of temples has doubled. That's not to reward the saints who already are. It's to prepare for the coming period of growth being the greatest the Church has ever seen. In the end, there will only be two: the church of Christ and the church of the devil in all its guises. The polarisation of both is already becoming more apparent, as are the true intentions and loyalties of any who raise their voice to comment on the Church: they either help the Lord's work, or they rail against it.
