I Can't Stop You

There are so many things going on in this life that matter to some and not to others. I can't stop you from going out and making a fool of yourself. There's no way to figure out what to do in a situation, you have to just trust your gut and move forward. But I can't stop you from making that decision once your mind has been made up. It's not my place. There are so many things to try and figure out in this life, and that is not one of them. Why should it be?

People make up their minds on what they will and will not do in a given situation. That's all there is to it. There's nothing wrong with that, it just tends to happen more times than not. I don't know how else to put it, but that's just how it is. I just don't know.

Maybe there is something out there in the universe that will allow for people to all grasp and understand whatever is going on in this life. Is there such a thing? I'm not sure if there is or not. That's simply what goes on in life I suppose. It's nothing fancy mind you, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that mixed in together.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

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?
