Words of wisdom plainly spoken. President Dallin H. Oaks in a talk brought to our minds the importance of respecting other people's religious beliefs who keep God's name alive and important.
5:26 "We can't depend on laws to order our behavior. We actually have to have a virtuous people". AMEN!!! That is the crucial/critical insight that is missing. No amount of funding, government programs, or laws can make up for a lack of virtue.
Michael Parkinson. Great comment! Here is a similar thought.That is why one of our (I'm an American.) founding fathers wrote that our Constitiution was for a religious or moral people. It costs the goverment money to give us a fair trial with a jury. Our system needs a low rate of criminality so the government can afford those things.

Well, I certainly agree with all that was said. There was a lot of wisdom there. I pray we stand for religious freedom. I am awake now. I won’t be tolerant of it’s violation again. There is too much that hangs in the balance.
There are so many good people around the world, who's fundamental teachings of their religion, say to love God and, all mankind. Christ even goes farther in saying to love your enemies, doing good to those who hate us, and praying for them who despitefully use this and persecute us. If religious freedom were taken away, not only would we have a more difficult time drawing closer to God, but we would have a harder time in loving our neighbors as ourselves. It's okay to share things that we differ in, and things that we have in common, but all with a loving heart. Instead of throwing around words of contention and enmity, about our differences in belief, we should concentrate on uniting, to help bless mankind for God. United we should stand in love for God and mankind, divided we fall, and fail in truly blessing mankind.
I met Mr Cook once at my Stake Center. He seemed to be very preoccupied and a little cold towards me when I shook his hand. I was surprised that he was different from what I would witness over the pulpit.
Don't be too quick to make assumptions about what he was thinking or what his intent was. He may have been preoccupied in his mind with a difficult matter for all you know. Don't assume it was because he had cold feelings towards you or is uncaring or something like that.
I've had the same kind of experience, but you know they're just people trying to do an important work. They aren't Jesus. You are on Jesus' mind right now. It's so nice when we get a little validation from people whose opinions we think matter, but really if God loves you and is deeply engaged in his plans for you, then who else matters. In being employed with the church my testimony has grown. I realize now more fully that God has always accomplished his miracles through the most frail of humans. I have lamented sometimes that I can't be as good as I want to be, but I have seen Him take what little I have and make good things with it. He can do that for you too. So, please don't be discouraged. You matter as much as anyone else alive, no matter who does or doesn't notice you.
@Craig Peterson Do you think that the top 15 in the church really believe the church is what it claims? I wonder sometimes if they are so deep in it that they are blinded by the truth.
We are good people LDS.....we help everyone , we don't Trip about other religións.,.all religións are are God's Children we are all brothers and sisters......Black People are very seriously IMPORTANT.....Black African Americanos Hermanos y Hermanas have the full rights of a religious freedom⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'd like to point out the sin of idolism. The LDS church might coexist among other religions but we support worship of Christ and not false "gods" Nevertheless all people have agency as our lord bestowed upon his childen.
So tired of listening to these neutered, powerless churches. As long as they depend on money for their survival, they will bow to the state every time. Nice words though
Get out of here… Appreciate what this is and what it is about. Making it into something ugly is unnecessary. The whole thing about religious freedom is the right to choose. Respect that.
You should listen to the thing to understand much better .... Better PROTECTION, BETTER Security for the black african americanos Hermanos y Hermanas....I least you know know Manuel SISTER STIZZ has a caring loving sweet heart...... she's very nice ....but she's just really seriously angry right now.......and she has those rights to be seriously angry
It's interesting that the catholic brought up the essential beliefs. That is where things become murky. He mentioned the belief of the one true God. Isn't true that lds believe they can become a God one day and that God Himself was as we are now? That is an essential belief that separates christianity from Mormonism. Christian's must agree on the essentials and believing who God is should be at the top of the list.
Jason. If my Father in Heaven has a God that doesn't turn me into someone with multiple Gods. Abraham has a throne in the heavens but he isn't my God. Every christian, unless they are accusing The Bible of lying, must believe in 3 Beings who are Gods. That means the one God we have is a group of Gods with a perfect sinless unity of purpose.
Jason. Jesus told us what was at the top of the list. First great commandment is: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," before also paraphrasing a second passage; "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
That we are Gods is a teaching of Christ. Probably highlighted more by the Church of Jesus Christ than other Christian denominations, but it is not uniquely ours. It came from the Psalms in the Old Testament and was reiterated by Jesus. John 10:33-36 "For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?" As far as I'm aware, in verse 34, Jesus was referencing Psalms 82:6 "6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High"
I guess if they knew mormons teach the catholic church is the great and abominable church that would change things and how mormon church treated black members and never apologized doesnt matter if you donate money. Weird video.
ANY church that does not teach the WHOLE truth of Jesus Christ is an abominable church. However, if these other churches bring people closer to Jesus Christ, then they do a good thing.
