@rogerecoff And there we go again. Somehow people like you feel that you have authority to issue judgement.
Like I get you don’t like us believing that we can be like God one day. But at least we are not playing God now and handing out judgement
@Salt_n_Smoke What you are doing has no biblical basis.
Christ taught how we would know who are his Disciples
He also addressed those who did things differently by saying who is not against us is for us
There is no doubt the church teaching and tries living Christlike values.
So why?
What your children really want for dinner is you!
In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.
Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.
Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.
Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.
What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.
@Salt_n_Smoke@JasontheLayman Thank you for your honest feedback
Sincerely trying to understand
So who gets to decide if that is the verse that saves
Or when Jesus said man must born of water?
Or how do you reconcile this tension?
@partialcontext@stackerco It’s really a good question to ask.
Two thoughts…
I think the Church as imperfect as it is on restoration path towards that pure truth.
I also think there is something to be said about a mortal comprehension vs an eternal comprehension.
@Slave_ofTheLamb@JasontheLayman Oh man I don’t know how to tell you but you may want to do some research before you make ignorant claims.
The data is easy to see that we are amongst the most educated people of faith.
@stackerco Within biblical framework? Nah. Lots of things happening that are messy. I’ll also grant space that teens are not the most apt critical thinkers.
I get for some it’s hard. Finding out later can be crazy and it’s reasonable to think oh maybe it was hidden. we all volunteers
