Purpose Of This Blog

The purpose of this blog is to learn truths about God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, the gospel, and the things written in the scriptures. I make it public to share what I learn with others and to include others of similar beliefs so that they can learn and contribute with me.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Often referred to as Mormons or LDS. I accept the Bible (I use the King James Version), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as scriptures and will quote from them. I also accept the words of latter-day prophets, apostles, and other general authorities as containing the word of God to us in our day. I know that there are other sources of truth which include other ancient records and personal revelation that is available.

I have the gift of the Holy Ghost and have years of practice discerning when He is confirming truths to me. I always feel such confirmation when reading or listening to the above mentioned scriptures. Truths that are shared here that come from other sources the Holy Ghost will also confirm to me. This then will be my guide as I post to this blog.

There are those who do not share my beliefs and while I will do my best to respect the beliefs of others I will not have my blog posts here become a place of contention nor allow comments that can destroy the beliefs of others. As such if I feel a contribution impedes my efforts to learn and share I will delete it. I will delete contributions that contain links. This is a place to share what you know and have learned not what others have placed on the Internet. Nor is it a place for self promotion.

If you are sharing specific scriptures please site the book, chapter, and verse and the source where it came from. If any who read it or want to confirm what is there they can search the web. No link should be posted.

Here are some examples of comments that I will delete:

If you comment that Jesus Christ was not the son of God I will delete that. This is not the place to debate this. I know he is the son of God. Here on these posts I intend to discuss his attributes and get to know Him better.

If you say that God does not exist I will delete that comment. This is not the place to discuss that. I know that He does exist.

Comments that put down the Church I am a member of, or its doctrines and policies, or the latter-day prophets will be deleted. This is not the place for those disaffected from the Church to post your anger or frustrations. I have learned for myself that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true and was restored by God through the prophet Joseph Smith.

In this blog I intend to post questions about doctrine, principles, and possibly policies of the Church. This is not because I am trying to disprove any of them but because I am seeking to understand them better and at the time I post them I do not understand them to my satisfaction.

I welcome all seekers of truth to join me here as we learn together the mysteries of God.
