  1. You absolutely have a way to contact a missionary. Here you go! https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist Good luck on your journey!
  2. Welcome to the forum. To start, I don't accept the conditions you placed on responses. That said: I'm not really interested in arguing, but I'll answer any questions you have. We're Christians as well. Christ restored His Church on Earth via the Prophet Joseph Smith. We believe In God, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Accept the New Testament, Old Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price as scripture. We believe families are eternal. We believe the truth can be found in the Book of Mormon, and if you want to know more start reading it and schedule a lesson with your local missionaries.
  3. I reserve the right to be respectfully vocal about whatever I want to be respectfully vocal about. I think it is a bad move to hire someone who is publicly in support of things that run contrary to Heavenly Father's order. It makes me really question what is going on over there. It doesn't affect my faith or obedience and to be honest I don't give it any thought.
  4. So, she has privilege? She should give her position to someone else to be fair.
  5. Not me. You can't preach the gospel anymore without someone telling you to focus on forgiveness and compassion and stop teaching that we're expected to keep our covenants because it hurts their feelings.
  6. I'm not randomly defining things. When something is blurry it is indistinct and unclear. This could be a permanent trait, and I refer to it as such. Lack of understanding requires there to be an understanding. When you get it you now understand it.
  7. I'm not talking about this state. I was speaking of The Kingdoms.
  8. I don't view them as synonymous. One is something that will be intentionally forever muddled, the other is something you can clarify with knowledge. I believe it will be clarified with total knowledge.
  9. He seems to me to be a God of order. I can't think of many blurry examples, except those blurred by man or lack of understanding.
  10. Yeah. I can't see God wanting something to be blurry, but I can see us just not being able to comprehend it in this state. Like eternity. I understand it, but I can't comprehend it.
  11. I really struggle with the concept of Priesthood, holding Priesthood, exercising Priesthood, Priesthood office, etc. Just when I think I have a grasp, I read something that makes the edges blurry. Maybe they're supposed to be blurry, I don't know.
  12. That was my feeling, but I didn't dare post it.
  13. Anatess gave me the link to this and I'm so grateful it exists.
  14. So is lying, fraud, and breaking covenants. Some people prosecute the sins of others. Some people defend them.
  15. She’s doing great! After meeting her, it’s disappointing that she isn’t allowed here anymore. She brought her family and they were awesome to visit with.
  16. I'm going to church with Antatess tomorrow. I'll tell her you said hello.
  17. Finally got around to watching this movie. It's sad how many people (myself included) just go about their lives uninvolved in the suffering of those around them. We just don't get fired up as long as our cell phone and internet works.
  18. Yeah. I always say "see below" if I want them to read the email.
  19. 100%. Oddly, it's those who don't even attempt to keep their covenants, or have never made them, that seem to be the most vocal about the Church and those in it who are just trying to find their way.
  20. What would happen if he didn't sustain the Bishop or Stake President. If, during his Temple Recommend interview, he answered positively to everything except that, then explained why? ETA: Now I'm curious and need to start reading. I've never encountered this.
  21. I think a lot of it has to do with the ward, apparently. I've seen none of what you've discussed.
  22. Maybe I should have actually read it in its entirety before responding.
  23. Wait.....having an MBA makes me an academic? Hot diggity dog!
  24. I completely agree with this. We could all do better loving people “generically”. We have people who struggle with many things but it isn’t the center of their identity. Being a child of God should be.
