My favorite EFY song of all time. Beautiful praise song.

It's sad that Michael doesn't recognize that the gospel the LDS church is built upon isn't flawed. It's the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's people that are flawed. My LDS faith has taught me that Christ is it. He's my intercession with my Heavenly Father. Christ is the way and the example. It's through His grace we are saved but only as we desire. He can't force us to heaven. I love this song. Love my Savior who rescued me, who I can never repay. He still leads me on.

Respectfully, I would like to speak on his behalf, though he never sent me to, neither does he know me at all. I listened to his story on exmormon files, and what I gathered was that he does recognise that he's the one flawed, but what he couldn't reconcile with was how the LDS gospel and doctrine is taught and presented; that it teaches that even though you're flawed, you're still required to perfect your own self, despite you not possibly being capable of that feat, with the grace of Jesus being pretty much being laid aside. It's like: what did Jesus die for then? Jesus' grace in the LDS church is relegated to the back seat instead of being at the forefront. I think that's the best of what I gathered from his story.

@@Siphamandla.Ngcobo I certainly appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for sharing. It's awesome to have open conversations. ya, I didn't realize that's how he felt. Unfortunately I believe he's completely wrong on that assumption regarding the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints teaching we are perfected by our own actions. It's wrong because believing we can perfect/save ourselves takes the Savior and His atonement out of the equation. I suspect maybe his issues went deeper than that. He reacted when he lacked understanding. I can't say, and I don't know him and I don't want to sound like Im judging. What I can say is, I stand by my testimony and Faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe in my experience as a broken vessel that I myself am weak. Christ can make my weakness strong. I also believe with that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father love effort. Daniel had to act to defeat Goliath. Noah had to build an ark, Peter had to get out of the boat to temporarily walk on water. When he faltered. Jesus was there for him. I know you know all this. Thanks for the reply my friend. Hope your day is great.

@@Siphamandla.Ngcobo I believe you have no right to express what you haven´t lived... you can in no wise express that the Church of Jesuschrist relegates Jesus to the back seat... that´s not true at all... that brother Webb lost his way is another very personal thing, but we have no right to accusse neither The Church of Jesuschrist, neither the church he goes to now, nor the sheperds or the preachers who guided him to where he is now... it was brother Webb alone... he shouldn´t point with the finger the things that raised him to be alive and be who he is now, nonetheless the church he goes to, he continues to be a Child of Our Heavenly Father... but he is no light to anybody... Jesuschrist is the only true light... to Him we owe everything... check that no other church around the world claims to be the true church or has His name... only 2 churches, that´s what the apostle saw...
