pam Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Reference Search: 2 Nephi 26:2828 Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden. Quote for Discussion“All men are privileged the one like unto the other”“Of a truth,” Peter declared, “God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him” (Acts 10:34-35). He loves all of his children. But his love is not unconditional in the sense of treating all of his children alike; men and women are rewarded or punished according to their works (see Romans 2:11; Colossians 3:25). Indeed, even though “the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one,” as Nephi reminded us, “he that is righteous is favored of God” (1 Nephi 17:35).Millet & McConkie, BOM Commentary, Vol 1, p. 309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
