° Experimenting by choosing to believe in Christ is the start of faith in Him. "But behold, if ye will...experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you...." Alma 32:27.

@uspatriot121 @jaredadairbell Read mine again, I never said you did. I quoted you. "Facilitated evil", ok you're going to need an example of that. That's just simply not true.

@tpeter077 @jaredadairbell Read it again, I didn't say my faith was in JS. JS taught the truth, other prophets have taught the truth, and Pres Oaks has taught the truth. Prophets have also been deceived and facilitated evil infesting the Church.

Is this the greatest First Presidency photo of all time?

@uspatriot121 @jaredadairbell You say your faith is in Christ not mortal men, then in the next sentence you say you listen to JS's teachings on how to tell if something is Christ's words or not. That's contradictory. Also, Amos 3:7 no? Have you prayed to Heavenly Father regarding Pres. Oaks's words?

@tpeter077 @jaredadairbell My faith is in Jesus Christ, the Atonement, and the truth, not in politics or mortal men. I use the Spirit to confirm truth and discern when fallible leaders have been deceived, as Christ and JS directed us to do.

@uspatriot121 @jaredadairbell Does your faith determine your politics or does your politics determine your faith? The real question you should be asking is, does the current prophetic teachings help me draw closer to Jesus Christ. I can attest that yes, they do and they will.

@jaredadairbell Back when leadership warned against the leftist agenda instead of welcoming it.

Ed Sheeran is LDS. Cool

@StevenStubble @BradenDisguised We don't actually believe that, we don't know much about Heavenly Mother. You have also not addressed the point of the OP and instead spout things you know nothing about. That is disingenuous.

@tpeter077 @BradenDisguised Hello? I m saying who cares. Reread my post...it's the whole " coeternal intelligences which somehow turn into spirit children via Heavenly Mother, and then get sent to earth after having their memories erased" is what we don't accept. Mormons: "we don't really believe that"

Creedal Christians believe that marriage between man and woman is ordained of God, but that polygamous practices in the past were an exception commanded by God. But those darn Mormons believe that marriage between man and woman is ordained of God, but that polygamous practices in the past were an exception commanded by God.

@StevenStubble @BradenDisguised Israel (Jacob) was commanded by God to have multiple wives. That is polygamy in the Old Testament. Are you being disingenuous or did you simply forget?

@BradenDisguised This is completely disingenuous. The whole "king David had concubines, so Mormonism is OK" thing is tiresome. What we don't believe is that God and his wife (wives?) aka Heavenly Mother, gave birth to "coeternal" spirit children who all had their memories erased. Mormonism 101

The more light and truth you have, the harder you fall if you fall. Christ will balance you, and "[H]is hand is stretched out still." 2 Nephi 20:4.

Forget putting away chairs, the true strength test of a Mormon man is how easily he can close this.

How do you know you are an absolute psychopath: - You don't care what direction the toilet paper roll goes - You hate sleeping - You eat ice cream with a fork (it's easier to stab) - You listen to classical music while playing Sons of the Forest (look it up 😆)

Best thing I saw on the internet today!

@Brettlds That's a separate post but I agree. I believe it's a gift of the Spirit to trust your spouse, knowing that they know but not knowing yourself.

The trick is to also gain trust in the reverse, as a man trusting her feelings even when the evidence doesn’t seem to align. Feelings are a reality we like to discount, but if we give them equal weight, many blessings come our way. Like trusting the spirit when those promptings come. Many times I have sought my own confirmation for a sense or intuition that my wife had, and got it, and many times when her spidey senses sensed something wrong particularly with our kids, she was almost always spot on even when I was completely oblivious. It’s a tough balance to figure out, but highly recommend seeking to gain it!

As men we joke that women make decisions based on feelings, which is true. It's also true that wives make the decision to trust their husbands based on feelings. Women being emotional creatures is by divine design. Women trust based on kindness, men trust based on respect.

We found out during a late ultrasound that our son was going to be born without eyes. What I didn’t expect was for the doctor to ask if we wanted to abort him. We had just seen him in a 3D ultrasound moving around and otherwise healthy. Holding back tears, we both told him no, we are keeping him. He deserved to live even though he experiences life differently. Here he is as a baby and now at age 11.

If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, let’s connect! Reply your favorite scripture below and I’ll follow you (subject to app limits, of course!)

"International law" is determined by whoever carries the bigger stick. So international law has been, since WWII, determined and executed by The United States. International law is a fancy pretext. A farse. That's just me being a realist.

@frgtr46052602 @utahmisanthrope @defense_of_fam Agreed.

@utahmisanthrope @defense_of_fam The point still stands. A country that is unsafe for missionaries and/or bans missionaries is not a healthy, free country

You can tell a lot about the politics of a country by how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is allowed to operate within its borders. All North American missionaries were removed from Venezuela in 2005. To this day, the only missionaries allowed are native Venezuelans. God bless them for continuing the work of the Lord. It’ll be interesting to see if current events will open more opportunities for the Church in the future.

In almost every corner of the globe, he declared that the “gospel of Jesus Christ is personally precious, everlastingly hopeful and eternally true.” Read more at the link above. 📸: Jeffrey D.

The debate I had on barfight with @michaeljknowles and @SteveDeaceShow is up now on YouTube, go give it a watch!

I had the pleasure and unique opportunity to interview @ALScyborg. What a man of faith! I truly envy it. What he has gone through and goes through but has yet to waiver in his faith tells me I have ZERO excuses. He even did a screen share during the interview so people can see how he navigates life and speaks. Be like Brad! Choose faith.
