Sin and Loss of the Spirit

[Anddenex]

Quote

Youth in the Church are accustomed to hearing the idea that if they go certain places and do certain things, the Spirit or presence of Christ will leave them. This is 100 percent my simple opinion and I really have no authority, but I just can’t stomach that idea.

An element regarding truth is that it is often hard to "stomach" if we do not have the mind of God. Nephi frankly declared to his brothers, "the guilty take the truth to be hard," which has multiple meaning pertaining to what it means by "guilty." Truth is often "bitter" until one is willing to accept the mind of God, thus truths are diluted (philosophies of men) to make them more appealing, or wrest them in order for the doctrine to be appealing, much like the Mormonhub trending article on Feminism (Heaven forbid any of my daughter becomes a feminist. I want them to be like their mother who understands their equality within stewardship and roles given by God). Think how the truth of "receiving all the Father hath" is a "bitter" pill for Protestant, Catholics, and other sects to "stomach." Does this change truth? No. Truth can only be received when our mind is one with God (in that thing, and we receive all truth when we eventually become "one" with the Father as Christ is "one" with the Father).

She is, however, speaking a truth here, "This is 100 percent my simple opinion and I really have no authority." Her false opinion is expressed (sadly among a domain "ldsliving"). She has no authority (very true). I feel the same way about this article as I do the feminist article, misrepresentations, and hopefully nothing my daughters will accept or become.

Another idea that many cannot stomach is: the law of chasisty. Why would God care if we are not married? After all we love each other. Why should the state get involved?

My father use to say that no one should be surprised that as long as they choose to follow a particular path through life that they will inevitably and eventually end up where it is going.
