laronius Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) In my mind I always interpreted that question as referring to the idea that active gospel living will not allow impurities to remain long in our lives. But as I read the full verse for context I wonder if the Lord is speaking of something else entirely. Any thoughts? D&C 121:33 How long can rolling waters remain impure? What power shall stay the heavens? As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, as to hinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints.

I think you original thought is a good one -- the Lord's pouring down knowledge provides a good rinsing of false notions, providing opportunities to exert faith.
