WE CANNOT BE DAMNED FOR BELIEVING TOO MUCH

 My usual DoC detractors showed up on the latest polygamy topic on FB and set about telling me that my experiences were all a crock and that I am deceived.  Basically, I have to break the news to them that they are damned; ie, they cannot move forward in their eternal progress until they begin to believe.  And that they need to quit throwing people of higher paygrades under the bus until they can settle the West, inspire tens of thousands to follow a particularly hard belief set, etc.  Basically, eradicate arrogance from their lives.  For that is what it is.

Here is a quote that has inspired this blog.  I would rather be guilty of gullibility, than of a closed mind.  Many languish in unbelief precisely because they would rather not take the chance of having taken a chance:

“I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.”10  says Joseph Smith (History of the Church, 6:477; from a discourse given by Joseph Smith on June 16, 1844, in Nauvoo, Illinois, Grove East of Temple; reported by Thomas Bullock)

  1. Love the blog. I keep thinking about a dream someone had about a long dark winter? Wonder if I was referring to Bidens dark winter. And wasn't there something about a drought by Bishop Kohl (sic). Been on my mind.
