The way that I was taught by my parents about any gospel principal was the parable of "The PUZZLE"! The Gospel is like a puzzle, which when we first encounter the Gospel, there are seemingly countless pieces. We first start with the easy pieces, the four principals of the gospel, the straight pieces around the 4 edges of the puzzle. All pieces we use must eventually be placed within the borders of those 4 principles. One by one, picking up a piece and looking at it, sometimes finding a place for it, sometimes not. Then we start placing pieces together that are out there floating unconnected to the border. We add more pieces, connecting up to other parts we have done (Learned) and after some time finishing the border. We may get all of the lake together, except for that one piece. We searched the floor and the entire table and we absolutely know for sure, there is not a piece that fit’s there. “They have not sent all the pieces to this puzzle”! So what do you do, GIVE UP, NO we go on? Even though you are sure at the end, it will be missing that piece; we go on putting together the puzzle. Then you set-aside that part and you go on to work on a different part of the puzzle. Sure as not, when you’re working on other parts of the puzzle, you pick up that MISSING piece of the lake, that was not there! Sliding it into place, sometimes seemingly without much thought, Yet it was a piece that you knew was not there. Or you may have linked up several pieces of the puzzle together and you think that ‘Island’ is going to connect over on one side. Yet it doesn’t quite fit there, without forcing it in . Then you see all those pieces go way over to the other side, clicking them smoothly into place. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only Church with a COMPLETE puzzle Box on this earth! We know the picture to go by, which is the plan of salvation, administrated by the Priesthood. We have the assurance that we’re looking at the right picture that goes with the right pieces, the Scriptures and Prophets’. All the correct pieces ARE THERE. It is our opportunity to work over our time here, to fit them all into place, as we ask for the help of the Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes our understanding of that piece, which the Prophets’ have said, may be our lack of knowing of where to put that piece. Be assured we have the Right Puzzle with all the Right Pieces! We are not alone in putting it together, THE MAKER OF THE PUZZLE WILL HELP US. This is not a Prophets Church, it is the maker of the puzzle and he wants us to understand it. He uses Prophets’ to teach us at whatever level of understanding anyone is at. It is always truth THEY speak; the truth they speak is not always what we completely understand it to be. There are times to work on other pieces before we can understand the piece we are currently looking at {being taught}. It will fit together as we work daily by following the principal’s of the gospel. Other religions of the world have puzzles also, but their pieces, are not all from the same puzzle. They have several different puzzles pieces mixed onto their table. Some with little truth, some with some other pieces of truth, all with many missing and until they start a new, theirs will never fit all together. I know My understanding about Kolob, has been through the promptings of the Spirit over time, only after I first understood other teachings of scripture (which is ANY time a Prophet speaks for the LORD). They are such that which is understood of the spirit. As time goes on, I will understand more of Kolob and ALL else. If I continue working to put my copy of GOD’s puzzle together, to better to see his whole plan, to increase my understanding of Him and His ways. There are answers posted here that will help you, one day! There are others that may not be so helpful, Prayer and Patience helps us know we have the right pieces. When I find information, I try to trust the same way James instructed Joseph Smith Jr. to do. ASK GOD, He knows, in time you will know where all the pieces of God’s puzzle go. I get one of three types of answers: 1. A Stupor of Thought; No that is not right, start over or work on something else. 2. A dial tone; Keep working you are on the right track, keep at this to get it right. 3. A Yes; This is truth (even so, some time later, I will have MORE understanding of the truth I was told.) When putting together this puzzle, isn’t it a joy when we see more and more of the picture come together
