Blast From The Past: April 29, 2018

Sun Apr 29 10:11:40 MDT 2018

Published a book I’ve been working on for a few months. It won’t go anywhere, that is for sure. For it cannot go anywhere. It must remain in my home and not see the light of day. Why is this? There are questions inside the book. Questions, doctrine, policy, criticism. Everything which I cannot publish out into the world. To do so would mean the end of me. So I shall keep it deep within and not publish it.

My parents would flip. I would be excommunicated for such conversations and thoughts. Only because a corporation doesn’t want their members to think for themselves.

I suppose that’s okay.

I wish my parents had never forced me into a religion. I think I would have been better off if that hadn’t of happened. But well, who am I to judge? I am but a man and I also sin in my life. I’m not perfect. I am only a person to understand and grasp that which I can.

I could be wrong. That thought has crossed me. But logic and feelings tell me otherwise. Oh, what to do about this? I doubt there’s anything to do. So I will quietly sit here and not worry about it. What is done, is done. It will sit on my shelf and never see the light of day.

I suppose that’s how everything works these days. I’m good with that.

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?
