General Conference, ‘The Exquisite Gift of the Son’, October 2020 “…at some point the full, excruciating guilt of every sin we commit must 
be felt. Justice demands it, and God Himself cannot change it. … We must never forget that the very purpose of repentance is to take certain misery and transform it into pure bliss. …
…through the staggering goodness of Jesus Christ and His infinite Atonement, we can escape the deserved agonies of our moral failings and overcome the undeserved agonies of our mortal misfortunes.” — Matthew S. Holland [emp. added] (more…)

Repentance Means Paying Tithes and Sustaining Authorities
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged false prophet, Gospel Principles, repentance, Spencer W. Kimball, sustaining prophets, tithes on 09/30/2015| Leave a Comment »
Gospel Principles, Chapter 19, pp. 107-113; “Our sincere sorrow
should lead us to forsake (stop) sinning. It does little good to admit that we have sinned if we do not stop doing the evil thing. If we truly repent of our sins, we will do them no more. If a person has stolen, he will steal no more. If he has lied, he will lie no more. If he committed adultery, he will stop this evil practice.” “To make our repentance complete we must always keep the commandments of the Lord (see D&C 1:32). A person is not fully repentant who does not pay his tithes or does not keep the Sabbath day holy or refuses to obey the Word of Wisdom. He is not repentant if he does not sustain the authorities of the Church …” – Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 200 cited by Spencer W. Kimball
Applying Atonement
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged false teachers, Jörg Klebingat, LDS General Conference October 2014, repentance on 10/27/2014| 1 Comment »
General Conference, ‘Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence’, October 2014; “Become really, really good at repenting thoroughly and quickly. Because the Atonement of Jesus Christ is very practical, you should apply it generously 24/7, for it never runs out. Embrace the Atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance as things that are to be welcomed and applied daily according to the Great Physician’s orders. Establish an attitude of ongoing, happy, joyful repentance by making it your lifestyle of choice. In doing so, beware of the temptation to procrastinate, and don’t expect the world to cheer you on. Keeping your eyes on the Savior, care more about what He thinks of you, and let the consequences follow. Spiritual confidence increases when you voluntarily and joyfully repent of sins, both small and great, in real time by applying the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” – Jörg Klebingat
Baptismal Interview Questions – Part 3
Posted in Baptism into the Mormon Church, tagged Adam, Christianity, Eve, forgiveness, Jesus, mormonism, repentance, sin, transgression on 12/05/2013| Leave a Comment »
For part three of my discussion on the questions asked during the interview process before one becomes a member of the Mormon faith I’ll be focusing on the third and fourth questions.
This set of questions has to do with the Mormons view of repentance and what they consider the more “serious sins”.
