In the interest of objectivity and always wondering who ‘anonymous’ is the below was sent to me in reply to the short essay entitled, “Crossroads – Worry or Faith/Works.”

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "“Crossroads – Worry or Faith/Works”: I have found that 'how' is quiet... maybe almost archaic but mostly unseen and not a popular option. So if the set of conditions were to slightly shift in favor of being answered I would highly esteem and recommend a question that is least favored and most likely a punctuated ending will contain the age old question.“In pondering this and in trying to understand it correctly I made the following short response.
"How" is always the excuse for multiple religions and ways. Sadly for the 'how' there's only one way, one Baptism and one Church. Since the beginning of time this has been the case - and of course the beginning of those who'd chose to make the 'how' silent and beguiling rather than quite clear and loud. But mortals will not be forced ever to be obedient - and Satan will make sure there are plenty of options. c/ork”
It is always interesting to note the argument about which way is the best to accomplish something. While on the surface the item would appear to be quite simple. Yet though simple is complicated by man/woman into being so complex as to be un-understandable. The Holy Bible is one of the basics to understanding those things of ‘true religion’ and is supported by the Book of Mormon as to the explicate teachings of The Father, The Son (Jesus Christ) and the Prophets.
Seemingly it is always left to those who are seeking profit, wealth, power or to fulfill their own lusts who strive to make things complicated. i.e. “Pay me and I’ll teach you understanding (which they never do).” They go to colleges, schools of divinity, Bible schools and all sorts of various paths to claim to be preachers, ministers, deacons, elders, priests, clergy, clerics, rabbis, and a plethora of other such titles known to the public and media. Yet they comprehend so little of what they are paid to teach that they instead turn to Greek Philosophy and Neo-Platonism for the majority of what is taught.
So why not read the Bible and heed what is taught there as to ‘how’ to accomplish the sole mission of mortality which is to return to Heavenly Father with our family (ancestors and posterity) intact. This ‘how’ was explained in the essay referenced above.
Obedience is the key – and obedience only to the Father and the Son and their appointed representatives on earth called and set apart by those having authority (from the Father and the Son) Prophets and Apostles at the head of the Saviors Church. There is no confusion, contradiction, contention, cloudiness or any other mistaking the Son’s Church and the appointed (called leadership).
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only Church which accepts the teachings of the Holy Bible literally as being true (where translated and transmitted correctly). They are the only Church led by a Prophet and Apostles called by proper authority and the only one’s holding the sealing keys delegated to them by Elijah. (People can argue about this all day long, etc. but none has ever proven the Church to be anything but what it claims to be as that of the Savior.)
Thus we’re talking simple – straight forward – understandable – requiring obedience to the Commandments of God (all of them) as to the ‘how’ of accomplishing will of the Father and the Son. Anyone who teaches anything else is neither of the Father or the Son.
The ‘how’ is neither silent, nor quiet! It is not archaic or invisible. Yet, it is a very difficult option and therefore very unpopular. When one thinks of today – everyone wants an easy solution – so as to not interrupt their fun and games.
The ‘how’ is about knowing and understanding – when William Tyndale translated the Scriptures (which make up 80% of the current Bible known as the King James version – Old and New Testaments) – he stated, “even a plowboy could understand what it both said and meant.” It would appear that some (many) think they’re much better than the plowboy – and therefore lead many astray. Sadly the ‘how’ has been transformed into ‘for your money’ – and sadly many would rather pay than to do. Samuel told Saul, “It’s better to be obedient than to sacrifice.”

“How”
cji
10/16/11
What streams do we follow
whither the halls hallowed;
What truths do we swallow
what facts have we hollowed;
How do we know which way
have any thought to pray;
How do the course we stay
Which arrow shows the way;
Too often we glance away
and wrong paths followed;
Too often lies swallowed
and the ‘how’ lies in decay!
