Searching for Truth
While pondering and studying the idea of nakedness as a symbol, and covering ourselves with the atonement of Christ (e.g., Adam and Eve receiving a covering through the sacrifice of an animal), I came across a set of scriptures that include a principle that I have never heard taught that challenges my entire thinking regarding > > Read More …
After nearly a month of contemplation, there are a number of things that come to mind that I feel a need to clarify and to explore. Whereas I can’t see doing all that in one post, this is the first of several. The others will follow as Part 4.1 of 4, etc. 1. All of > > Read More …
If you have been following this blog, you know that Joy and I have been praying regularly to be shown our false beliefs (unbeliefs) and false traditions.

Generally, there is no intention to quote other blogs here, but every once in a while there is a post related to a long list of topics yet unwritten that seems to call for a more immediate, if not totally prepared, posting.

While I knew better than she what it meant, I wasn’t much further ahead (though in my arrogance, > > Read More …
Many of you will not care for the style of this post, so let me give you the bottom line. Perhaps, the way we learn to love God, is by loving the things that He loves: His children, His creation(s), truth, virtue (knowledge, wisdom, mercy, patience, meekness,… love).
