A Word about Berlin and the Shooter at SPU
Psalms 125:1-2; “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.”
No, this isn’t the typical post you usually see on our sites, but we’re asking you to take just a moment of your day to pray for those affected by the tragedy in Berlin earlier this week.
You see, not long ago my family and I were standing at the very spot the terrorist ran over, killing twelve and injuring 50 others. After living in Germany for so long, and our recent visit touring the area extensively, my heart is broken. I’ve been to the little kiosks knocked to the ground with people still inside. The thought of it is simply terrifying.

Journal of Discourses 11:301; “It requires all the atonement of 
Christ, the mercy of the Father, the pity of angels and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to be with us always, and then to do the very best we possibly can, to get rid of this sin within us.” – Brigham Young, Great Salt Lake City, February 3, 1867
Groves in the Bible, and The “Sacred Grove” of Joseph Smith
Posted in sacred grove, tagged false doctrines of Mormonism, Israelites, Joseph Smith's Testimony, praying in groves of trees, sin, worshiping in groves on 04/09/2016| 2 Comments »
On my entrance into Christianity, I was quickly made aware of God’s providence. The Sunday school class my church was offering at the time was on the life of early Israelites. Nowadays, I don’t recall what books were specifically used, however, I do remember learning about the trouble Israel kept finding itself in for hanging out on the hilltops in groves of trees.
During the 12 week lesson all I could think of was Joseph Smith in his grove of trees in Palmyra, NY. It was then I learned God was always ready to teach me something new!

Journal of Discourses 10:114; “It is not fully comprehended why it was necessary that Jesus Christ should leave the heavens, his Father’s abode and presence, and come upon the earth to offer himself up a sacrifice; that he should, according to the Scripture saying, “Take away sin by the sacrifice of himself;” why this should be, why it was necessary that his blood should be shed is an apparent mystery. It is true that we are told that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins; but why this? Why should such a law exist?…Jesus Christ is spoken of in the Scriptures as “The Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.” What sins of the world did he take away? We are told that it is the sin which Adam committed. We do not know much about Adam nor what he did; but we know that this sacrifice took place and that we are in the position we now occupy, and we are ready to believe…it was the will of God…” – John Taylor, Salt Lake City, February 22, 1863
Naked in Their Sins

A few weeks ago we posted an article about the Garden Endowment Ceremony and asked a few questions about their version of events when Adam and Eve partook of the fruit in the Garden of Eden.
Today we’re looking at the spiritual meaning of the next scene in the ceremony by digging into God’s word and comparing it with the Church’s portrayal of Adam and Eve trying to hide their nakedness.
Birth Control is Iniquity

Doctrines of Salvation 2:87; “When a man and a woman are married and they agree, or covenant, to limit their offspring to two or three, and practice devices to accomplish this purpose, they are guilty of iniquity which eventually must be punished. Unfortunately this evil doctrine is being taught as a virtue by many people who consider themselves cultured and highly educated. It has even crept in among members of the Church and has been advocated in some of the classes within the Church.” – Joseph Fielding Smith

As you may already know, April and October are Conference months for the Mormon Church. For one weekend in each of these months various church leaders, from every organization in the Church give talks to their fellow church members via satellite, the internet, or in person at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, UT. For the months of November and May the Visiting Teachers in the Church are to scan the General Conferences talks in the Ensign (a Church publication) for one that catches their eye, and use it as their message to the women they visit that month.

It’s a sad day for Seattle as far as I’m concerned.
I know there’s sin in the world and I also know this country (and the world too) is going down a steep road really fast. Got it. I’ve just been noticing a trend of sorts in the last couple of years with living in Seattle that I find interesting. It seems whenever something outrageous is passed as law here, the country tends to follow right along.

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”.

Fig Aprons & Hiding from God
Let’s take a look at what happened in the Garden of Eden at the moment Adam and Eve sinned.
Genesis 3:7-8, 14, 21; “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.”

New Era Article “Why We Do Missionary Work”
Part 1 – An Altar and a Sacrifice
I came across a speech given by Dallin Oaks which was then published in the New Era Magazine by the LDS Church and wanted to share it with our visitors. There were several items of interest in this one speech, but for now we’re looking at just the first paragraph. This topic warrants thousands of pages to be written, alas, the few things I have to say here is barely scratching the surface of all there is to say about Jesus, His death on the Cross and how our sins are atoned for.
