“A Change of Pace” cji 6/4/13 (short essay)

 
“A Change of Pace” cji 6/4/13
 
What really have all of these diverse groups gained by having same-sex marriage – open homosexuality – gay boy scouts – tell but don’t shame – get acceptance by law?  One might guess the liberal movement would be quite beaming with their accomplishment of forcing down their agenda’s on the Christian Right or Conservatives within our nation. But they are not! They somehow feel letdown we didn’t put up more of a fight – and therefore now continue to try to cause contention within our ranks while showing some cohesion in theirs. Yet it is just the opposite – they now are in contention with themselves in that they should’ve asked (demanded) more than what they did.  Of course there are some village idiot’s on the right who are condemning the progress of these liberal gains – but one might ask why? 
 
Why are the liberals unhappy and the village idiots unhappy? The reason is quite simple – they were doing it anyway – without the laws – and while at the same time many of the village idiots were complaining about anything which didn’t meet their fancy to begin with – like wolves in sheep’s clothing.  Most involved in same sex unions were already on the public dole – getting the ‘tax breaks’ they feel married people get – most who have other life-styles seldom according to their ‘advertising’ don’t care what others think – but really just want the lime-light to be upon them only. 
 
Let’s take the latest break through where Boy Scouts will now allow gay scouts into their organizations – big deal – how many gays really want to be involved in scouting – as the trend goes most likely very few – only now they’ll be identified openly (this is a gain?).  Many are going after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for not fighting this with more gusto – forgetting one of the Articles of Faith of the Church is to be found obedient to the laws of the land where they live. This is like allowing girls in boy scouts but not allowing boys in girl scouts – how many have joined up? Much ado about nothing – but a reason for those who like to clamor to just do it again and again.
 
Sexual Babylon has existed for millennia – accepted and rejected – even by those actively involved being some of the loudest critics. It hasn’t changed anything – adultery is still against the Ten Commandments and lest we forget for the practicing Jew or Jehovah Witness – so are 603 other Commandments (can any name even 50 of these?).  How many average day Christians (or of any faith) live their religions?  Very few – unless you want to grant exceptions to the Torah, Bible, Commandments, Koran (Qur’an), or whatever some claim to be in usage today. How many even know what the Creeds are of what they believe – even again the Muslims (of which some 80% are illiterate – on in a forced conversion just to stay alive? It is doubtful while the Bible is the most owned single book in the world outside of Islam – few if any have actually read it from cover to cover more than once if even once!
 
Thus what is this hue and cry about the Babylonian behavior of today? When one church contends with another – they are not being in obedience to the Commandments of God – in fact they are just minions of Satan and his followers. The Bible is not just a maybe type of book but a series of books which are the letter of the law to be obeyed! One must not forget those who profess the Bible to be complete are the same ones who omitted some 3300 books from it completely and have revised much of what they left behind for human consumption. Yet one who does not do their own homework lives in ignorance of this and what the implications really are to one who says, “I believe!” Prostitution, swearing, anger, contention, confusion, justification, rationalizing are all part and parcel of the sexual freedom – gay/lesbian – movement – nothing more or less – we’re just repeating history. How dare the US or any other current nation think they have anything different from Sodom and Gomorrah or Pompeii!
 
So just for a change of pace why are we getting so wrapped around the ‘moral axel’ when everything which is happening was foretold by either an Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon Prophet or of those living Prophets and Apostles today!  Things will continue to get worse – much worse – however we’re to be concerned with those things which we can control – not bemoaning the things which we cannot control. The most important thing today for anyone who’s seeking to return to Heavenly Father – is that of family – and truly understanding that which can only be Sealed here on this earth. Yet most don’t even know what I’m talking about and in line with the teachings of their various churches could care less! 
 
Thus don’t worry about the agendas of those with deviant social behaviors – worry about what are you doing to raise an eternal Celestial Family! Salvation has to be earned – while being Saved was accomplished by the Atonement – even for those with deviant social behaviors. Even they’ll find a place in the resurrection be it be in the Telestial or Terrestrial or Celestial as described by Paul. The Telestial is for those who received a mortal body and didn’t shed innocent blood or deny the Holy Ghost – but not much more! The Terrestrial is for those who lived more than just a base defiled life-style but did not live up their Celestial potential. To reward many different levels of faithfulness, there will be “many mansions” (see John 14:2). For those with the ability to read and have access to the Scriptures – the Celestial should be the only goal – however, most have not read the Scriptures and have not discerned what is being taught and what they can read have substantially different meanings and applications to their eternal salvation.
 
Yet it is better to be wrapped up in whether some boy scout  is gay or not – or whether two people of the same sex can be married – one must remember the wisdom of men/women has no standing in the wisdom of Heavenly Father. Paul called the wisdom of man/woman logismoi (basically the same as the Greek word rhetoric) meaning lies mingled with truth (very little). Greek philosophy which is the mainstay of most religions has little to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ – much as the laws of men/women in this very wicked world.
 
For a change of pace put down the newspaper – get off of the Internet – put down the dime store novels and read the Bible – recommend the 1769 KJV – but still and all even with all of the revisions, changes, deletions and additions most any will get you from a to z – and open your eyes, your heart and your ears to the teachings of the Prophets and Savior. Some might want to read the Book of Mormon which is a Second Witness to the Savior – Jesus Christ and has only one translator and clearly testifies of Jesus Christ – there are cross-references to the Old and New Testament (so one can source check on their own). 
 
Remember – those who are pushing the various agendas which differ from the Scriptures and the Gospel of Jesus Christ are basically just forms of deviant behavior. Satan’s only goal is to keep you from understanding what Paul taught in Ephesians 4:4-6; One God – One Church – One Baptism!  Rather most would have you believe that there are many churches – many forms of baptism and a God (God Head which is incomprehensible)!
 
Each person is accountable first for themselves and then for their family and then to warn their neighbors – this warning to be done in love and understanding – by actions rather than just words! The rather interesting thing is that most who’ve made the choice of living by the standards of the world care less what others think – only what they do where their clamor might get them gain, power and recognition.
 
“Change of Pace”

6/4/13
 
Awakening into a very wicked world
believing we’ve to even discuss evil
is to have been beguiled and lied to
without regard to our ability to think
and thus to have read for ourselves
pondering and discerning of the truth
seeking the peace of the Scriptures
within the Gospel of Jesus Christ
which is the only way to the Savior
thus the Celestial Kingdom eternally
ignoring the worldly change of pace
instead accepting with a willing heart
an open mind – and a sacred quest
to live and become like the Father
be obedient to the Commandments
becoming as one with them forever!
