bytor2112 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) We often speak of power and "power" is often mentioned in teaching materials etc. What do you think power is? Some dictionary type definitions of power: pow·erˈpou(ə)r/noun 1. the ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality. "the power of speech" synonyms: ability, capacity, capability, potential, faculty, competence "the power of speech" 2. the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. "the idea that men should have power over women" verb 1. supply (a device) with mechanical or electrical energy. "the car is powered by a fuel-injected 3.0-liter engine" 2. move or travel with great speed or force. "they powered past the dock toward the mouth of the creek" Edited September 20, 2015 by bytor2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average Joe Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Faith ~ "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God [.]" (Hebrews 11:3) coupled with Glory ~ "The glory of God is intelligence, or in other words, light and truth." (D&C 93:35) That's my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JojoBag Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Joseph Smith taught that knowledge is power and knowledge is salvation. What I gather from this is that through knowledge we gain power to work out our salvation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
