They say I’m not Christian? I’m indifferent…
The headline here is revealing. So I’ve been reading yet another set of press articles, where “journalists” interview a Baptist pastor about the “Mormon” faith? (Deep breath.)
Anyhow, there have been about a billion blog posts, where Mormons argue that their church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a Christian church Read more…
Women in The Priesthood
Now and again I hear someone ask when women will receive the Priesthood, which I spell with a capital P to denote that I mean the Priesthood expounded in the D&C as a whole package, including all the covenants. The Priesthood is incomplete without the covenants.
It is true, that a woman does not receive ordination. On the other hand, even if a man has had hands laid upon his head, he has not received the Priesthood, or fullness of it, unless Read more…
Exercising Faith, Revisited Again
So, it is time to write about it again. I actually read my previous Faith posts — some of which may be difficult to discern, because they don’t come right out and say, “this is about Faith!”
Well, now, this one does declare that.
This is part of my philosophical education, I guess Read more…
Just What Is Moral Courage Part 2
I don’t know how the first one could have been so poorly edited. My editor must have been napping! 
But what has happened, as it often does, is that this subject of moral courage has been much on my mind, and I’ve had several opportunities to see and practise it in practice (according to dictionary, the verb takes the “s” and the noun the “c” [NERD POINTS!]). And as it often does, it seems my views have widened to look at it more from the basic human needs point-of-view. The need for nourishment and shelter are closely followed by the need of dignity, for example. Read more…
Speaking Up!
So here we are. After the most physically active summer in my life in a quarter century, I am on my sickbed with a pneumonia — and have lost my voice, too! And exercise is supposed to be good for you!!
So yes, I guess that finally I was forced to “speak up” metaphorically again. Read more…
Perfection Is A Long Time Coming
Well, I have been on the sickbed for a while, as anyone, who has followed my ramblings has noticed. Includes some interesting experiences…
Anyhow, here are some thoughts, lightly edited, that I originally wrote in October 2008, but it’s never been published. Here we go: Read more…
Just What Is Moral Courage?
These seem to be lose thoughts, but let’s see if we
It is not long ago since I read Elder Christoffersson’s address Moral Discipline from October 2009 General Conference. Now I came back to similar thoughts after reading Pres. Eyring’s message about Moral Courage in the March 2010 Ensign.
The question that begs asking from my point is what moral courage actually is Read more…
The Church Condemned
In my daily study I happened to run into D&C 84:54-55 (emphasis added):
And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief Read more…
The Co-Eternal Man Part 4 — Eternal Progression
Paul says that those who are reborn through repentance and becoming a disciple of Christ, having been renewed by him, are “joint heirs” with Christ. (Read Romans 8:16-17 — note that here our relationship with the Father is established again as children).
That brings us to the full meaning of what it is to “be perfect as [our] Father in Heaven is perfect” Read more…
The Co-Eternal Man Chapter 3 — Co-Creator
Our Heavenly Father did not only create us in his image. He told us how we can approach him and become more like him. If we look at the world in which the Old Testament scriptures were given, it was revolutionary in its lenience and mercy. Isaiah’s strongest condemnation was to the “shepherds of Israel” who did not feed their flock; Read more…
