I believe the answer was given in the 2022 General Conference by Elder Dallin Oaks on woke doctrine. ---------------------------------------------------------- Fundamental to us is God’s revelation that exaltation can be attained only through faithfulness to the covenants of an eternal marriage between a man and a woman. That divine doctrine is why we teach that “gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” That is also why the Lord has required His restored Church to oppose social and legal pressures to retreat from His doctrine of marriage between a man and a woman, to oppose changes that homogenize the differences between men and women or confuse or alter gender. The restored Church’s positions on these fundamentals frequently provoke opposition. We understand that. Our Heavenly Father’s plan allows for “opposition in all things,” and Satan’s most strenuous opposition is directed at whatever is most important to that plan. Consequently, he seeks to oppose progress toward exaltation by distorting marriage, discouraging childbearing, or confusing gender. However, we know that in the long run, the divine purpose and plan of our loving Heavenly Father will not be changed . . . A uniquely valuable teaching to help us prepare for eternal life, “the greatest of all the gifts of God,” is the 1995 proclamation on the family. Its declarations are, of course, different from some current laws, practices, and advocacy, such as cohabitation and same-sex marriage. Those who do not fully understand the Father’s loving plan for His children may consider this family proclamation no more than a changeable statement of policy. In contrast, we affirm that the family proclamation, founded on irrevocable doctrine, defines the kind of family relationships where the most important part of our eternal development can occur.

I finished the entire Book of Isaiah for the first time a few days ago. My eyes have now read through all sixty-six chapters for the first time.

I like Utah, but one of the biggest reasons I do not like it is we are running out of water. There are too many people living here now and not enough water. Reservoirs are being drained faster than they are being filled. This is a dry State. We are likely leaving and moving to another free State east of the Rocky Mountains in the next few years. Las Vegas, Nevada is in some serious trouble. Far too many people living there and not nearly enough water.

Glad you are doing good work out there in the world. I presently work on an Air Force Base fixing people's computers that the security administrators continually break with software updates.

From the news stories I read (if they are correct) he was concealing his plans to murder and that indicates to me he knew what he was doing was illegal and did not want to be caught before he did the killings. That does not sound mentally ill to me. It sounds like the person was broken and evil. I am not the judge but it would not surprise me if he was in spirit prison suffering for the sins he did presently. Multiple murders are the worst sins one can commit in this life as most do not have enough light and knowledge to deny the Holy Ghost.

Call me cold, but this is how I feel. I am glad the murderer was shot to death by law enforcement officers. I do not like murderers especially those who kill children. I believe the LORD took those children who died to be with Him in paradise and they are with the saints there in the spirit world now. I am also very sad for the parents who have lost their children.

I just received a revelation. On the 6th of June 2022, NeuroTypical will receive a sweepstakes winning of cash. He is to tithe $150,000 to me, buy himself a new 2021 KIA front wheel drive automobile and then distribute the rest of the money as it is revealed to him unto the poor. To receive more revelation on his path he must forsake his home for forty days and dwell in the wilderness in a tent crying out continually that the revealed will be made manifest unto him.

Mass voting ballot mail outs should not be done. Voting can be easily manipulated in this way. If you want a ballot to vote absentee you should be required to request a ballot 100 to 45 days before every election. Voter identification at the voting polls should be strictly enforced and voters should be required to register to vote 29 days before an election. No same day voter registration.

I am going back to the original topic. It was my understanding in the days of Noah that there was violence everywhere, a lot of wars. It has not gotten that way yet in our world but it is slowly getting worse. And there is also this: "And God saw that the wickedness of men had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually." -- Moses 8:22 There are many wicked among us in America but I believe there is also a spiritual awakening going on right now turning people back to the LORD.

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." ― Benjamin Franklin

A federal ministry of truth they are trying to create needs to be fought against by everyone. It will nearly or completely destroy freedom of speech.

It has become an unholy sacrament to some people on the left. Abortions for any reason are to be celebrated. People glorying in these extremely shameful activities. It is a culture of death that I hope most Americans reject.

Open mouth and insert foot. Ouch.

That is an amusing picture. Thanks for posting it.

We got a 90 cents off per gallon coupon on gasoline. We bought close 17.5 gallons at close to $3.56 per gallon. Both of our cars have full tanks now.

What I found highly amusing was Joe Biden saying he was ready to run for the office of president again in 2024. The delusional man does not see how much he is disliked across this nation and how mentally defective and incapable he is.

From my understanding we are about to see more supply chain shortages on anything made in China. They have locked down about forty-five cities in China from another disease outbreak. As of April 19th they were still on tyrant lock downs with people not even allowed to leave their homes.

Sin also causes suffering. Spiritual death is caused by our sins, but consequences follow actions. Where this is sin, there will be suffering.

The scriptures that the original poster put up can be easily understood. The below scriptures and many other that have "predestined" or "predestination" in them in the New Testament are in error. We know through modern revelation that there is no predestination to a kingdom of glory or hell. Ephesians chapter 1: 4 He hath chosen is in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to be His own adopted children by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, 11 In Christ also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will, 12 that we, who first trusted in Christ, should be to the praise of His glory. ================================ Whenever I read "predestined" or "predestination" in the New Testament I replace the word with "foreordained" in the verse.

I warn my children that if you get these college loans you are likely stuck with this debt until you pay it off or you die. There is no bankruptcy (and this is immoral in my opinion). My daughter seems bound and determined to get over $45,000 worth of education at a school when she could be paying a lower cost for the same education somewhere else.

I was reading through the comments on YouTube with Elder Oaks talk reaffirming The Family, A Proclamation to the World. Most were positive but some were negative. One said they would be removing their records from Christ's Restored Church. This is a close quote on one of the comments: The truths of God and His commandments are immovable. President Oaks said exactly what needed to be said, and he did so lovingly, but without ambiguity. The scriptures teach us to pursue the atonement of Jesus Christ and become more than what we were born into this world. We all have personal struggles, many times which seem insurmountable, but we really need to choose to become something much more than we currently are. "I was born this way." Yes, perhaps that is the case. But the Lord Jesus Christ did not suffer a horrific torture and death for us to remain complacent to our state of being. He did so that our sins and imperfections are paid for if we pursue repentance. Repentance is change, it is not punishment. We really need to choose to follow the Lord's example in living the way God our Father asks us to. This will transform us from a lesser to a much greater and best version of who we really are as children of God. "Nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself for it is given unto thee."

It is not socialism I think the tyrants are aiming for anymore. They are aiming for a perverted form of capitalism that is combined with a totalitarian government. Look at the Chinese government and this is the new model in my opinion.

Thank goodness there are alternative movies that do not bow to the perversion and racism crowds out there now. One is Darren Southam's Reign of Judges, A New Freedom movie coming out this year.

My son serving in the Nashville, Tennessee Mission had his first baptism. She was over 70 years old and gave up coffee and smoking to join the restored Church of Jesus Christ. My son said about thirty people showed up to her baptism. He got to confirm her a member of church and gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
