I agree. I believe if you have received witness of truth through the Spirit of Revelation then intellectual reasoning, one with another, on matters arising and mis-understandings, remains secondary. Keeping things simple may be one of the great quests in this life. As you said, maintaining our testimony is vital. That Christ lives, that we are part of His living church, and that he has called a living prophet, seer and revelator, Pres. Thomas S. Monson.

:) I know my Heavenly Father to be full of mercy and compassion. That is why He sent His only begotten, to atone for our sins. Yashua, Jesus of Nazareth. The firstfruits. The lamb of God. Only He was worthy to fulfill this calling ... because only He was perfect. Only He has walked and suffered in this world and remained spotless and without blemish. That is why, each day, I call upon the Father, through the name of the Son, Jesus the Christ, and repent of my own weaknesses and failings and strive to do better. Perhaps as members of 'the church' of the lamb we could help each other better live gospel principles by emanating the qualities of the Messiah whose church we belong to. More compassion, less judgement. :)

From my humble experience, usually, when its the hardest to feel the love ... is the time when you most need to feel it. Perhaps its not for us to speculate about the 'struggles' of another - but rather to offer a hand of service, a heart of compassion. Why would we refuse ourselves the blessings that come from our Heavenly Father when we follow the Saviour's commandment to 'love one another'.

Hi everyone, I'm happy to be here among you all. I look forward to the dialogue and making new friends
