And it’s frankly it’s becoming a little irritating. When people feel their sincere attempts to help are being treated flippantly, they are wont to respond in kind. I asked a few questions.

Overwatch Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Lyrics 1. Have I done any good in the world today? Have I helped anyone in need? Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad? If not, I have failed indeed. Has anyone's burden been lighter today Because I was willing to share? Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way? When they needed my help was I there? (Chorus) Then wake up and do something more Than dream of your mansion above. Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure, A blessing of duty and love. 2. There are chances for work all around just now, Opportunities right in our way. Do not let them pass by, saying, "Sometime I'll try," But go and do something today. 'Tis noble of man to work and to give; Love's labor has merit alone. Only he who does something helps others to live. To God each good work will be known. Text and music: Will L. Thompson, 1847-1909, alt. I think perhaps someone might be getting consumed by what their final reward will be. May I suggest taking each day one day at a time and closing out each session on bended knee to our Heavenly Father. Getting absorbed by future reward thoughts seem to do more harm than good, in my opinion. Rejoice in your daily successes and repent and try again with your failures. God is far more loving than most people believe and yes, He does expect us to strive daily to be our best. Let's return the love by being grateful to Him and striving with greater resolve each day to serve Him.

Anddenex Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 6 hours ago, goor_de said: People are not a cake. they are already changing or the free will in the sky is turned off Two fallacies within this line of thinking: 1) Change is not required for free will to exist 2) Free will doesn't turn off because you do not change Evidence of free will is opposition, or simply the presence of opposition. As God is an unchanging being, and we know his free will exists, it is self-evident free will or agency or moral agency doesn't require "change" otherwise the Savior could have never been perfect.

Anddenex Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 11 minutes ago, goor_de said: man is not a machine and then it goes automatically a human can change his opinion many do it We are in agreement that [humans] are not machines, which is irrelevant to the question I responded to. Humans can "change" as humans can choose not to change, thus again, "you" guarantee (personal accountability and responsibility) if you change or do not change. It is a fallacy to believe that because we have free will or agency or moral agency that this must mean we "must" change. No one here is debating the human opportunity to change. If we have the ability to choose to change, then we have the ability to choose to not change or to continue the path we know to be good. These are really simple tenets of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Vort Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 6 hours ago, goor_de said: dead serious Völlig ernst! Völlig, I tell you! (The initial "v" is pronounced "f", and the umlauted "ö" sounds similar to the English "short u". Don't you just love how sneakily German ends up sounding like English? Full of cognates, but very different cognates from what you'd get in French or Spanish or Italian. It's enough to make you think that German is a part of the English language family. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
