@CoachMarkBsbl@jaromjordan Holier than thou? What does religion have to do with it? It is nasty and low class by any measure. When you deny it happened, it makes the victim the defendant. Yes, it should have been laid to rest by the coach accepting responsibility rather than accusing the victim of lying.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are frequently asked, “How is your Church different from other Christian churches?”
Among the answers we give are the fulness of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Foremost among that doctrine is the fact that our Father in Heaven loves all His children so much that He wants us all to live in a kingdom of glory forever.
All the children of God will ultimately inherit one of three kingdoms of glory, even the least of which “surpasses all understanding” (Doctrine and Covenants 76:89).
Another unique doctrine of the restored Church is the revealed commandments and covenants that offer all the children of God the sacred privilege of qualifying for the highest degree of glory in the celestial kingdom.
God’s plan requires that exaltation can be attained only through faithfulness to the covenants of an eternal marriage between a man and a woman in the holy temple, which marriage will ultimately be available to all the faithful. That is why we teach that “gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World).
Those who do not fully understand the Father’s loving plan for His children may consider the Family Proclamation no more than a changeable statement of policy. In contrast, we affirm that the Family Proclamation, founded on irrevocable doctrine, defines the mortal family relationship where the most important part of our eternal development can occur.
We qualify for eternal life through a process of conversion. As used here, this word of many meanings signifies a profound change of nature. It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become.
Because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, when we fall short in this life, we can repent and rejoin the covenant path that leads to what our Heavenly Father desires for us. #GeneralConference
@SFY @marcelluswiley So well spoken! Yes, we can support the need for better understanding, racial equality, and justice for all, without joining an organization whose mission statement is flawed.
After watching General Conference, I'm struck by the thought that, no matter how far we may have traveled from the straight and narrow path, the journey back is but a few humble steps.
I promise you that as you willingly acknowledge and carefully treasure the spiritually defining events in your life, more and more will come to you. Heavenly Father knows you and loves you! #HearHim#GeneralConference
It is my ardent prayer that our spiritual foundation will be sure and steadfast, that our testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and of His role as our Savior and Redeemer will become for us our own chief cornerstone. #GeneralConference#HearHim
I testify that the Father and the Son appeared to Joseph Smith, and Elijah restored the sealing authority. Sacred temple covenants and ordinances can strengthen us and purify our hearts as we “Hear Him!” and receive the power of godliness in our lives. #HearHim#GeneralConference
Remember that the fulness of Christ’s ministry lies in the future. The prophecies of His Second Coming have yet to be fulfilled. We are just building up to the climax of this last dispensation - when the Savior’s Second Coming becomes a reality.
