Are we missing the simplicity of the gospel?

I think we are missing, both, the simplicity of the Gospel and the complexity of the same.

So many times have I sat in Sunday School class, and listened to the same lesson and heard they same answers from the same Brothers and Sisters. Not that these are bad people, but they have been giving the same answer's since there Primary days.

Matthew 22;35-40

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master,

which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and

with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandments.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

That is the simplicity of the Gospel in a nut shell. But how do we reach the point of reading the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, if we do not examine the more complexed portions of the Gospel?

Diverse idea's and traditions are OK, until they reach a point were the truth is obscured. Eventually we will all need to come to one mind so we can progress forward. I know that we can achieve this one mind, through honest and humble discussion. Humble meaning being in a teachable state of mind. I know I learn a lot from everyone who post, even the trolls.

Thank you all for posting.

And I think the quote goes something like this; "Welcome to Utah, were we like our caffeine, cold".

There is milk and meat.

The Gospel is simple. However, only by study, prayer, and contemplation of the milk have I ever understood any of the meat.

Welcome back, Justice. It's nice to see that you've been de-iced. :)
