pam Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Mosiah 26:36 36 And those that would not confess their sins and repent of their iniquity, the same were not numbered among the people of the church, and their names were blotted out.Quote for Discussion“In contrast to the punishment that is the intended result of the judgment of a criminal court, the primary purpose of church discipline is to facilitate repentance—to qualify a transgressor for the mercy of God and the salvation made possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ. . . . Church discipline is not an instrument of punishment, but a catalyst for change. . . . The major concern of the laws of God is to perfect the lives of his children.”Dallin H. Oaks (Feb. 7, 1992, Temple Square Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
