I said it was an interesting read and had a few gems in it that I thought were true. Even Mark Twain wasnt a prophet yet had a few interesting gems himself. And how do you feel about the other writings on that website. Do you believe that all the prophets from Brigham Young to Monson have all departed from the path that Joseph Smith set?

I am a firm believer in our church and hold fast to modern prophets. My point was in showing someone elses point of view regarding Satan. Thats all. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis are in this same category of viewing someone elses views on Satan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is against forum rules to post links to anti-Mormon websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am inclined that both love and pride are skills that must be practiced and developed. Perhaps even conflicting skills that developing one would exclude the skill set of the other. Anyway - something I intend to consider more deeply. Thanks for your input. The Traveler In this mortal world we have a choice but also choice is denied. The light of Christ inspires love and freedom, strengthening us to choose aright, but the traditions of men make us vulnerable to the adversary who inspires pride and so robs us of the light (D&C 93:37-39) through abuse (which denies choice) or enticement (offering a choice to counter the light).
