Thanks, Miriam for clarifying Christ’s words…yes, the LOVE of money and along with it comes pride and power.

To reach greater fulfillment in Christ, you have to learn more about Him. And the Catholic Church with 2,000 years’ history of saints and public charitable works and scholarly documentation, provide us so much to learn more about Him.

It is the universal Catholic Church that has the fullness of what we can learn and experience about Christ. Just study more with an open mind and spirit, and you will grow in Him.

The power and majesty people see of the Catholic Church, symbolized by the Vatican, is not the work of men, but the spirit of Christ at work in the Church.

It is Christ in the Word and sacrament that brings life to us, that unites us. If only people could see beyond men, be it men who bear good fruit or those who bear scandal. Christ transcends all, and draws all men up to Himself.

Keep searching for the truth in Jesus Christ. As St. John says, there can never be enough books written about Him. All praise and glory to the One True Lord!
 
**Additionally, this link here is an example of where societies focus presented need for corrective and directional insight from our prophet and thus the Proclamation on the Family was given to all the world. The concept of Family Home Evening was instituted as a precursor to the decline of family values and is another example of God’s will revealed to a living prophet prior to the decline in recognition of its pending rise. **

I see 2008 at the top of the page institution the Family Home Evening. You see this as evidence that the LDS church is divinely inspired? If so, I suggest you go back 40 years ago to Humane Vitae to see what the Vicar of Christ here on earth understood through the Holy Spirit before the breakdown actually occurred.

Actually, they are St. Paul’s words in 1 Timothy, but I’m sure Christ agrees wholeheartedly 😃
 
Yes, I agree and it is very wrong to speak in that way.

Same as referring to priests…all they are good for is doing the magic and then everyone else does the rest of the work in the Church…read that by some who wanted women priests so many years back…

obviously, you can’t take my memory word for word…

Today I was listening to an LDS man being asked about the garments. They are sacred, he said, and they are not to be discussed because of their sacredness.
So, after some time it occurred to me, “what is more sacred than God Himself”? Well, nothing. Yet, He can be discussed, and in fact, should be, to bring souls to the fullness of Truth.
How does the LDS church come to the idea that the sanctity of a thing makes it off-limits to the rest of us, when Sacredness Himself is to be shouted from the rooftops, so to speak?

Thx!

Remember how Jesus refused to even speak to Herod? If not, read Luke chapter 23.

The principle here is that one does not throw pearls before swine, lest the swine turn again and rend you.

Perhaps your friend felt, that when you made intrusive inquiries about his religious underwear, that your attitude was not in keeping with the sort of respectful discussion that sacred things require.

While I am not a fan of mormonism, the term “magic underwear” is offensive to them.

That’s not what we’re about.

Kudos to twopekinguys for introducing the concept of a respectful dialogue with mormons.

In addition, many LDS leaders have claimed that the blacks did not hold the priesthood because they were inferior. "

Had claimed. The one who was still alive when the revelation came in 1978, Bruce R. McConkie, said plainly that they were wrong and had misunderstood the scriptures.

It seems a little hypocritical to go after the mormons for teaching a doctrine that your own church taught as well at one time, i.e. that blacks were “descended from Ham” and “destined to serve.” Brigham Young didn’t get his racist doctrine from God; he got that from the traditional Protestants, who got it from the Catholics, who in turn got it from the Jews.
