"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matt 18:3-4

"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" John 6:66-67

@Episkopos Should we desire to remain in the outer court... or should we desire that God to allow to us to move on into the holy place and then hopefully eventually into the holiest of holies? In the Ark that Noah built there were three levels of creatures saved from the flood, but those in...

"And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." John 11:43-44 Jesus called him forth from death...

Indeed, yes! God is always looking first at the heart of a person. The best of doctrine or beliefs is worthless or nothing when the heart is wrong.

@Frank Lee For God the glory for you and your Gideon friend!

@Nancy Also praying as things move on...

Why did God make people with so many different measures of intelligence, skill and ambition; or the lack thereof? Why did God place people in so many settings, with plenty of money, lots of opportunity, with struggling parents, with evil parents, etc.; or the opposite of those indicated?

Each step of the way with Him we must use what He has given us else what will the judgment for or against us be? "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men...

But you are not discussing! A discussion requires more than one declared point of view. Then again truth is not encountered in the things of God by the logic of men...in the discussions of men. In any case you are pursuing not one Mormon person here but supposedly the Mormon church itself...

"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." Matt 5:37

So then would you also say that Jesus was a liar? "Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly." Matt 27:13-14

@Heart2Soul "Is your salvation a burden?" What a question! You've already given the answer, and so we must always remember what people still are. They are still flesh and alone they are bound to fail. But help is always available: "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content...

Your question is a good one, but consider the situation of Adam and Eve in Garden before they partook of the forbidden fruit. They really had as much available then as we do now... ours available because of the sacrifice of Jesus. When they disobeyed God they effectively denounced His Love for...

It has been a very long time since I have missed my regular morning readings and studies. Now if I am even delayed without good cause I am pressed in the Spirit to get into it. I cannot live really without it. Even if my delay is with good cause, the burden is heavy on me to make the time to do...

Consider these and surrounding verses: "For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it" Psalm 132:13-14 "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of...

I remember when I was very young and used to operate a cement mixer and pour concrete by hand for a living. My familiarity with the stuff from so many years ago [last about 1974] is now clear in my mind.

:):D;)

Read more carefully, Dave! I read my Bible in three languages every day, seven days a week and have done so for years. Does that sound like I am shying away from the scriptures?

@Darya24 Even so but this does not make it an easy road to walk alone, which is why as our friend, Stranger, indicates you need help and that help really must come from God. Consider these words prayerfully and proceed from there: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I...
