My purpose in writing this blog is twofold. One, to attempt to clarify the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to those who may have heard rumors or untruths about what we believe. Having said that, let me be clear - I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but this is NOT an official blog of the Church nor do I speak for the Church. I am sharing my own opinions and explanations in an attempt to help explain that which I know to be true.
My second purpose is to provide powerful scriptures, quote from Prophets and Apostles, and examples that may help others to explain the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to their friends or associates, and to help one and all to see that what we believe is supported in the Holy Bible.
I welcome open, friendly discussion but will tell you that my purpose is not to argue, belittle, or disrespect anyone or any religion, and I ask that the same respect and decency be given in return.
As the Lord said to the congregated disciples in The Book of Mormon.
"he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another."
Let us be Christ-like in our interaction with one another and cultivate the love of God, not hatred or evil feelings.
