Crusade

 I've been watching the B5 spin-off series Crusade. Almost done with its one and only season. A shame it was cut short by TNT. I hear it was cancelled before it even aired. Talk about a sucker punch to the gut if you ask me. I know there are negotiations that have to go with these things. But wow, and a complete shame it couldn't be picked up by the Sci-Fi (SyFy) channel. Apparently, they looked at it but couldn't come up with a budget citing they had the budget set by January of that year already. So no, they couldn't do anything about it. A real shame.

I don't remember liking the series the first time I watched it, all 13 episodes of it. Well, there was one I enjoyed, it's the one with the aliens saying they've been visited by humans, but it was a ploy of their own government to end civil wars. (Visitors From Down The Street)

A second watch through and I am just loving this series. Maybe I wasn't paying attention to it the first time around. That can happen if something doesn't catch my attention right away. Well, I love the series, even if it's only 13 episodes long. Did I mention it's only 13 episodes long? If I haven't there you have it. There's also a made for TV movie that kicks off the series. I need to watch that.

Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

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?
