Blast From The Past: June 24, 2019

What Is Going On Jun 24, 2019 What exactly is going on in this life we live in? I do not know. I haven’t the faintest idea of anything that happens. I simply know I am living here and is that enough? Is that enough to make things work? Is it enough to enable life to be something better than it is? I do not know. I simply don’t have any idea of what is going on. I don’t understand or realize any of it. I wish I did. Yet here we are waiting for something better to come around. Something much much better to have an understanding of. Is that not the end goal of life? To better understand each other and ourselves as much as possible?

A Question About Churches

I was asked by my mother if I felt any other church out there would be good for me. That was the bascics of the question. I don't recall the question exactly. I said that I didn't know.

I have no desire to join any other church at the moment. Part of me is scared. Another part ofme still believes that it would be a slap to the face of God if I were to join another church for that would require baptism. Again we're struggling with the whole authority thing.

Another part of me wonders, "what if" it's all true and I'm screwing myself over.

So many thoughts and concerns are coming to mind. I simply do not know the answer to any of them.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

What's The Point?

 So, tell me, what is the point of believing in a spiritual supreme being? I often wonder what that is all about. I know religions say that God, as some call him, is our father. We pray by starting with our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Yet sometimes it feels like he is absent from our lives. Is it due to how we are living our lives? What exactly is the cause of that feeling? Some people believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one person. Others do not. It is interesting to me to see what all churches believe in. I myself do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I have my bible on my phone, so it's me and my bible. That is my link to God. It makes me wonder if that's enough though. I have faith in Christ, I believe in him. Is my faith sufficient to be forgiven of my sins? I do not know. I do know that wherever I end up in the afterlife, I will have done my best to follow Christ. I believe the scriptures which lay out Christ's...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
