Very rarely do both morals and laws coincide with one another. What is morally right often times cannot be legislated. Case in point racism, despite our current laws their still exists a very racist society. It is also true that laws are very rare a proper indication of morals. An example of this is slavery and “separate but equal”. There was even a law in one state that allowed for the murder of a religious sect simply because you wanted their land. Currently there are a couple of battles being fought legally that have great moral implications.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us…
One of my favorite parts of The Book of Mormon is when Captain Moroni raises the Title of Liberty, “And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole. And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he…
I was reading a blog that discussed the “differences” between mainstream Christianity and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The controversy lies in the fact that most of Christianity, denies that prophets can exist. They believe that The Bible is the absolute and final word of God. It is the cannon and is closed. Yet, it is apparent that although they read The Bible they do not believe everything in the bible. For instance in Amos it clearly states, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” (Amos…
Today was a momentous occasion; I was able to meet Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Actually to be more precise I was sitting within 4 feet of him and could have touched him. Anyway, I digress…you see we believe that there are apostles on the earth, when the church was restored in 1830 we believe that apostles, prophets, and seers were also restored. Now don’t misunderstand me we revere the apostles as great men that have lived very good lives, however they are just men. We believe them to be called of God to…
I wonder if the woman of my dreams actually exists, are my expectations too high? I guess in order to know if my expectations are too high I have to help you understand what it is that I am looking for. I am looking for the kind of love that makes you sigh after a kiss, a simple touch that is worth more than a thousand words, a look that makes you smile all the way from across the room. A woman that even after 50 years of marriage still looks at me the same way she did when we…
I know some people may be wondering how he could possibly post two blogs in one day. Well here is the thing, the first one was more about what happened and this one is more about some thoughts that I wanted to get down and I wanted to break it up a bit. Now what I am about to talk about has absolutely no factual data to back it up. These are just my thoughts and my speculations but I thought they were worth while to get down. This is what I was thinking: What if time didn’t exist? Now…
Today has been another wonderful day; it was gorgeous outside all day. I went to school this morning even though I had no classes. I was to be spending the morning with my former girlfriend (or girlfriend or whatever). I arrived at school and waited for her outside the library. She arrived looking absolutely adorable as usual. My heart skipped a beat (or two) when she approached. It usually does, I mean with as beautiful as she is seriously how could my heart not. We proceeded up to the top floor of the library where they have study rooms. We…
So this has been another interesting week. Life is going very well, I truly couldn’t ask for more. I mean of course there are areas that could use some improvement as there always is and always will be but the overall state of my life is positive and getting more so each day. You know in just a matter of weeks my life has changed immensely, where there was once sorrow and sadness there is joy. Where there was once loneliness and despair there is friendship. Where there was once pain and agony there is healing. What I am trying…
