I said that comments are welcome but I have a hard time leaving a comment on this blog when it is insulting. I know that there are many people who believe in all different things and there are many who do not like members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't appreciate you insulting my beliefs.

I believe that people who feel hatred for this church do not understand it. I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ died for everyone so that we could repent of our sins and return to Him and God. I know that God has a plan for all His children. He loves us all so much and wants nothing more than for all of us to return to Him and feel joy. He even designed a plan for us to be together with our families forever. Why would anyone reject that? I was married for time and all eternity, not until this life is over. God and Jesus have so much love for us all that we cannot comprehend it. I have faith that what I believe is true.

A great majority of my relatives are mormon. They are very family oriented and loving people. I admire them in many ways.

I am not a mormon and I feel that if I truly love my family....I should tell them the truth. This is where it gets very "sticky" because as much as I believe that the only source for truth is in the Bible.....they believe the Bible is not all truth and must be corrected by the Book of Mormon. The thing is.....we both are not correct. One of us is wrong! And whoever is wrong has all of eternity to pay for it. I'll just say that "we" all need to be sure "we" know the truth before we pass out into eternity.

My uncle passed away two years ago. He was a bishop in the mormon church. I have often wondered what he would say to his children if he could come back to earth.

I "lovingly" hope and pray that both you and I know the "truth" before we die.

Thank you, "Anonymous," for your comment. I agree with you that we should find the truth before we die. That is something that our church emphasizes. We need to find out for ourselves the truth. The only way that we can is through Heavenly Father. I know that he will answer our prayers and let us know the answers to our questions. It is something to do with real intent and with faith that he will answer. When you receive an answer there is no denying that it is from Him. I have prayed and waited and did a lot of studying to find out for myself that the church I go to is true. I know that the Book of Mormon is from God and along with the Bible, it testifies of Jesus Christ. I would encourage you to read the Book of Mormon with an open heart and pray to know of its truthfulness.

I also wholeheartedly believe in the doctrine taught by the LDS church. I have nothing but respect for people of other faiths. I don't find myself thinking of them going to hell or something awful happening to them in the afterlife. Our Heavenly Father is fair and merciful. I believe the actions and choices we make here in life are what we will be judged on. It makes me sad that anonymous, or anyone else would worry about me going to hell because I believe in the doctrine of my church. The God I believe in is not contentious and divisive. I don't feel the need to judge other's beliefs. I would like to instead worry about the life I am leading, and make sure I am doing all I can to perfect myself.

Beyond Grateful

By
I feel a strong urge to shout out my gratefulness to God. I keep thinking today of how blessed I am. I feel so incredibly blessed. I am so happy that I have the knowledge that God is watching over me and helps me find my way. I am so overjoyed that I know, without a single doubt, that He is there for me and everyone else. My crazy life has been in shambles for a long time and yesterday felt like it couldn't get much worse. But today I feel so calm and ready to face my future with optimism. I could have chosen different ways to deal with my problems, but I am glad that I chose this one. I know that I would not feel this peaceful feeling if I chose any other way. I understand better when the prophets in the scriptures talk about having a desire to proclaim the gospel to everyone. Why wouldn't you want to feel such happiness? Any worldly way cannot bring ultimate and long term happiness. So I want to repeat what those prophets have said, "Come unto Christ." He has gone t

A Noteworthy Quote

By
"But make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, in the months and years ahead, events are likely to require each member to decide whether or not he will follow the First Presidency. Members will find it more difficult to halt longer between two opinions.(see 1 kings 18:21) President Marion G. Romney said, many years ago, that he had 'never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional or political life.' "This is hard doctrine, but it is particularly vital doctrine in a society which is becoming more wicked. In short, brothers and sisters, not being ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ includes not being ashamed of the prophets of Jesus Christ. . . . Your discipleship may see the time when such religious convictions are discounted. . . . This new irreligious imperialism seeks to disallow certain opinions simply because those opinions grow out of religious convictions. "Resistance to abortion

Inspiring Scripture

By
I just wanted to write that I am so grateful for all that I'm blessed with. I feel so lucky to have the gift of the Holy Ghost. I can't imagine making such big decisions without guidance from the Holy Ghost. Last night I read 2 Nephi 24. One scripture stood out more than the rest. Verse 3: And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall give thee rest, from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve. Heavenly Father talks to us in different ways. Through other people, the Holy Ghost, and from the scriptures. I know that the Lord was talking to me through the scriptures and it gave me such great comfort. Anyone can pray to Heavenly Father. It doesn't matter where you are in life. He wants to hear from us. He loves us so much.
