PapaKryptoss I thought the same. And then we had the dedication of the Laie Temple... although I didn’t get to shake Thomas S. Monson, he shook my heart, and I was overwhelmed with the spirit. I am probably one of the worst members in the church. Without any doubt in my mind, I know this church is true. I am, and everyone living is a living testament to that. I just wish we all aspired to be the person Heavenly Father wants us to be. I wish that for myself as well.

While I understand the tendency to make such comparisons, and I surely know each of us individually respond to specific special witnesses, I am reminded that every member and every leader has his or her own place. With Father there is no respecter of persons and He has provided specific ministering servants for all and for specific times. We sustain them all and honor each in his or her place as we follow the words of the Master that flow from each one that are dictated by the Holy Spirit.

@johnharvey44484 жыл бұрын
Glen M. Danielson wrote 'But I am heart-sickened to hear him describe blacks as the seed of Cain.' When did you hear him do that ? I've just listened to the conference talk above, and he didn't describe blacks as the seed of cain. He said 'We see the seed of Cain long denied that priestly power which makes men rulers over many kingdoms rise up and bless Abraham as their Father'. Yet, even if he were to do : Is it not true that Cain had children ? Is it not true that we are all descended from people such as Adam, Cain, Abel ? Is it not true that the bible says that Cain would be denied the privilege of holding the preiesthood having been first to enter into secret combination of murder with Satan ? And, committing murder, fraticide even ? God made different races it is true. God didn't make racism. Are you so conditioned by the current climate, media, manipulation that you find anything to do with race sickenning ? People are descended from people, God offers and withdraws privileges and responsibilities according to His wisdom and authority. Nothing new there. Personally I think priesthood being forfeited was because of lineage, not colour nor race. If God had given priesthood to Cain people would say : I'm am heart-sickened that God has allowed Cain the first to enter into conspiracy with Satan, and, the first to conspire to murder to hold the Priesthood of God.

@gregbriggs45403 жыл бұрын
@@bob15479 I have always recognized that Private writings of prophets and apostles are always a combination of what the spirit has revealed to them personally but also contains some of their own interpretation or opinion on the subject and the spirit has at times confirmed what they said and others I have come away with a view that that though it might be a true principle their interpretive opinion is also involved. I love Bruce R McConkie's work, his book on another witness for the articles of faith just like Talmage's version is one of my favorites but just like people of my generation are more familiar with Hinckley, Maxwell, Monson , and Boyd K Packer. McConkie, Kimball, and McKay are more recognizable to my parents generation. The same is true of theologians like Nibley and CS Lewis who are more familiar with the older generation but mine are more aware of Daniel C Peterson, Truman G Madsen, or John McGee. McConkie was always a brilliant apostle and scholar but even he for example when official declaration 2 came out in conference stated that due to the further light and knowledge revealed through Kimball he said some of what he had written in his personal writings was incorrect. This always seems to be the sad mistake of people both in and outside the church believer and critic alike is that we have a false image of what the calling of apostle and prophet really are and that for some reason they are always plugged in to the will of deity. Joseph Smith himself lamented this continually throughout his life that he couldn't get people to understand in that when he was officiating in the office of his calling and was being moved upon by the spirit to direct the church he was a prophet but the rest of the time he was a man like any other and subject to mistakes and faults. For example during the Kirtland banking crisis despite he and many church members investing in the secular business it failed during the financial crisis of the time as if being a prophet all of a sudden makes you a financial wizard. Nor does it account for just natural human mistakes by him and others. Yet when the Lord directed in doctrine and covenants on certain financial matters they were able to meet their obligations or it opened the door to new opportunities. Moses made a similar mistake with his opinion in regards to the children of Israel with using the staff on the rock to bring out water when the lord had told him just to command the water to come out. He lost his chance to enter the promised land because of it but he did not cease to be a prophet nor did the lord reject him. Among the apostles Paul had severe differences of opinion on subjects with Peter, and I believe Matthias, there were others as well. Incidentally this is probably the reason the church has never fully pushed the journal of discourses. I love it but you can definitely tell sometimes their own opinions on certain subjects were expressed in a time when the church was more focused on survival and establishing itself rather than making certain every utterance from the pulpit had the lords endorsement through the church leadership. Remember the Lord has to work with us where we are not where we want to be. Many of McConkies and others writings have given me insight into scriptural topics and there are times I agree and others I have a different take on but that is part of personal study. The spirit will confirm the truth. others we can file away until as McConkie said further light an knowledge is brought forth and then we can examine our past opinions in regards to it. Sometimes we are right others we are wrong sometimes we are right even if the world says otherwise and as time goes on we are vindicated while their theories continue to rise and fall. Sorry for the long answer.
