"Known or Unknown"

“Known or Unknown – Our Agency to decide what we want to know or not!”

All of sudden as always men/women start to blame religion for all of the things ‘bad’ going on in the world. In a world where most likely more than ½ if not more of its population either find “God” per se’ unknown or just plain don’t believe that leaves a large margin for error. Let’s go further there are approximately 4,200 religions in the world with as many as several thousand more spinning off of these 4,200. All of these are formed and organized by men or women of the world. They all claim divine authority without it. They claim (many) the Bible as their Scriptures but either do not believe them literally or change them to meet their criteria adding and deleting as they please. While there are many truths to be found within each (well maybe many) most are found lacking with all of the truths. How many of these 4,200 religions are found without contention – without paid clergy – with the Sealing authority of Priesthood – without Prophet’s or Apostles – a better question might be how many can with knowledge (not faith alone) say they’ve a Church led by divinely called Prophet and Apostles? How many teach the same doctrine from one side of the world to the other? How many have the Temple Ordinances or a Temple in which to preform them? If anyone is upset by these questions they fail in knowing the Scriptures. For the Lord’s Church here on this earth is not one of contention but truth – for the Savior is the Word – and the Word is the truth. As Paul said to have the gnosis of our Lord and Savior is worth all! The Gnosis of our Lord and Savior is a sure testimony of Jesus Christ!

We must understand that man’s religion was never meant to succeed but only to be used when the True Church was not on the earth. Roger Williams and many more stated this over and over again in their writings stated, “We’re trying to get closer to the teachings so when they’re restored we’ll recognize them.” So while they wait for an event which has now already occurred their current reason or those who continue to deny the Restoration is to put pelf in men/women’s pockets for every manmade religion has its womb to tomb evolution from reformation – dead limbs from a dead tree. We cannot blame Heavenly Father – for men/women wanted agency to choose for themselves to obey or disobey – and they’ve been doing just that for over 7000 years of written history – most will never learn and most will never care – religion is only good if it has good roots and understands fully and literally the Scriptures. Therefore what we’re seeing today in the world of abortion up to the time of birth is not God’s fault especially if you understand the Plan of Salvation – ‘for such is the Kingdom of God when referring to the little children’ – Oh there is so much right at our finger tips but again we’ve each agency to accept what is known or to instead limit what we know – c/ork

“Known or Unknown”

Having read a book

what do I now know

or what is still unknown

matters the book’s subject

whether fiction or non-fiction

is it found to be eternal

or trifling as a snake in sand

or value as wisdom or guile

known or unknowns teach

not what we know or don’t

but what we’ve learned

able to discern or not!
