@Heathie_S@LargeInStature_ Until your spouse gives you an std… or knocks up someone else or gets knocked up by someone else… And it’s not like any of that comes without heavy costs that they knowingly risk you having to pay for…. Abuse. Plain and simple.
When a young boy is capable of articulating what took me decades to understand and appreciate, I sit up and listen.
At his age, I was more concerned with whether I’d be getting a cabbage patch doll for Christmas.
He and his companion were so very blessed and protected as they were able to talk their way out of the situation and go on their way.
My heart panicked, and in the same moment, rejoiced, and I knew he was doing what the Lord wants him to do.
Caleb almost made it two years on his mission without getting a gun pulled on him. But now he has that story to tell his kids and grandkids. It’s his last transfer, less than six weeks to go before he’s home, and I am certain, more than ever, that God is with him. 1/2
@nicoraytruth I just figure it depends how literal and how far down a logical rabbit trail a person wants to take it. Go far enough, and literally every bit of everything is literally part of Him (his creation). So… sure?
@nicoraytruth I couldn’t bring myself to send my children to public school. All the sacrifice and cost was well worth it not to. I would’ve considered private school if they’d have allowed my children, but when they learned we are LDS they refused us. So we creatively homeschooled.
@nicoraytruth Belief is faith, not knowledge. Joesph and the witnesses had real, tangible knowledge and faith. I have faith enough to stake my life and that of my progeny on it. But it is still faith and not knowledge. One day I will KNOW my faith was in truth. Probably after I leave here.
@ohboyscoobs@chadwinksart Was not Christ still God while also man? Being mortal man needn’t be mutually exclusive from being God, as Christ’s life and death and then resurrection proved. I think people get stuck on fallible human semantics and comprehension.
“At the zenith of His mortal ministry, Jesus said, ‘Love one another, as I have loved you.’ To make certain they understood exactly what kind of love that was, He said, ‘If ye love me, keep my commandments’ and ‘whosoever … shall break one of [the] least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be … the least in the kingdom of heaven.’ Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it. So if love is to be our watchword, as it must be, then by the word of Him who is love personified, we must forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others. Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin (which He had an infinite capacity to do) and the warning against condoning it (which He never ever did even once).” - Jeffrey R. Holland
@Chase_Observes@nicoraytruth@CarolinaGurrl91 His first comment (that I can see anyway) under his post tags thoughtfulsaint like it’s bait. I hope I’m wrong, but my gut keeps saying this is just all for bait and clicks.
@nicoraytruth My son has about 2 months left in Buenos Aires. Left as a beautiful boy, will return as an amazing man. I’m so excited I can barely stand it.
@JS_StrngstSldr The things it answers and gets correct far outweigh any questions people can ask about it.
@sister_slay explains it very well, she's a friggin legend!
