@realesttruth1 @sunnkssdseraph I get what you’re saying, but oftentimes having a family makes men work even harder to reach their goals because they have a bigger purpose to work towards. Your wording makes it seem like a family limits you instead of fulfilling you.

@druidsrevolt @ThoughtfulSaint Educate yourself before you make such confident claims

@Frog47583687 @HannahWardEdu How is the school system any better at teaching history for example? They have boring textbooks and time wasting busy work. You learn by putting yourself in the time period through stories and then diving deeper thru narration/analysis

@Frog47583687 @HannahWardEdu Im confused. How would it be difficult to get children to read the books chosen by me? I chose it, it’s sitting on the table, and we read it during our homeschool time. We also do narration (oral at first and then written as they get older) to help them think about the concepts

@Frog47583687 @HannahWardEdu You can have systematic reading. I’m doing a curated curriculum for history in a chronological order, but fully in story books. Not textbook facts— immersive stories about Columbus and the New World, Revolutionary War, etc. they learn so much more that way.

@canering @HannahWardEdu Reading includes nonfiction

@tylerbegan124 @eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 I will also add that not every word that comes out of a prophet’s mouth is gospel. There is a process for things to become doctrine.

@tylerbegan124 @eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 Any scholar can become prideful. That’s his point. Pride over the Lord’s chosen prophet is definitely a concern in the church. If you don’t believe that he is ordained of God, then why would you trust him? You need to be humble enough to accept the prophet and trust him.

@tylerbegan124 @eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 The talk doesnt need to be about pride for the statement to be alluding to it. The gospel is wholly about rejecting pride and accepting Christ humbly. Those who think theyre too smart for God are prideful.

@realesttruth1 @sunnkssdseraph This is just not true. May people have drastic yet successful life/career changes well past 35. They just choose not to. Your life doesn’t end in your 20s-30s, it begins with more meaningful opportunities.

@sunnkssdseraph Your comfort zone charges compound interest.

@eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 @tylerbegan124 He’s saying that there’s pride that can develop when intellectuals start to think that they’re so smart that they dont need God. It’s an easy trap people can fall into. Same with being rich or famous.

[lexi @EducatedBeaver]

@tylerbegan124 @eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 Packer wasn’t saying scholars are bad. He’s saying those who boast their intelligence can end up so prideful that they worship their knowledge instead of God.
Why would we have BYU and other institutions if the Lord didn’t want us to learn and be intelligent?

@eddispaghetti69 @dividendways @JayDee909771543 @tylerbegan124 That quote isnt the dunk you think it is

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

The gospel isn’t “find yourself.” It’s “deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ.” (Matthew 16:24)

You can’t look inside yourself and find the answer. You need Christ. We all do. But it’s not some punishment.

Self-sacrifice is how every good relationship works. You do things because you love someone more than you love your own comfort in that moment. And vice versa.

Christianity is not asking you to erase yourself. It is asking you to stop worshiping yourself. There is a big difference.

Real freedom is not doing whatever you want whenever you want. Real freedom is no longer being controlled by every impulse, every emotion, every appetite, and every selfish desire.

But it has to start with the realization that it’s not about you. You will not save yourself.

@EricCMeadows Based on my experiences living in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Oklahoma, the “Mormon culture” pops up in larger communities and not just in Utah, tho it’s most apparent in Utah. However, rural wards are way different. No one is self-righteous there bc they all depend on each other.

[Dr. Ben Braddock @GraduatedBen]

The replacement of “Homemaker” with “Stay-at-home mom” was one of the most subversive linguistic tricks they ever got over on the public.
