We Don't Have A Clue

We Don’t Have A Clue by Kyle Eggleston Today is but a day. I do not know how else to explain it, or how to describe any of it. We live in a world where nothing really happens, except for what we allow to happen. Does that make any sense? I doubt it would. We simply live in a world...we wish for that world to be something unique. Something we are able to grasp and understand. We hardly grasp or understand half of the things that go on in this world. I mean, if we really understood it all wouldn’t we have a better grasp of how things work? Yeah that’s what I thought. But we don’t. We don’t have any clue how this world is meant to exist, or how it is meant to survive. How are we to survive on a world like this? There are so many different options out there, we don’t have a clue. We need to get a clue.

The Cross

I do not wish to give offense to any of my Christian colleagues who use the cross on the steeples of their cathedrals and at the altars of their chapels, who wear it on their vestments, and imprint it on their books and other literature. But for us, the cross is the symbol of the dying Christ, while our message is a declaration of the Living Christ. …

… The lives of our people must become the most meaningful expression of our faith and, in fact, therefore, the symbol of our worship.1

The LDS Church doesn’t believe in using the cross as a symbol. The cross is a representation of the Dying Christ where the LDS would rather focus on the Living Christ. You won’t find a cross in any of the churches, on steeples, or anything of the like.

Until now.

The LDS Church has put up a statue of Jesus carrying his cross in Temple Square. True it is a key component in Jesus’ life. He died on the cross for our sins. But believing in a resurrected living Christ is oh so much more important than a dying Christ.

Is this a hint of changes to come? Only time will tell.

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.

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?

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...
