Lds why are we here

There are experiences in this mortal life we are called on to bear. Many of these things we agreed to in the pre-existence, with the realization that they would help us attain the knowledge and lessons necessary to carry us through this life.

We had goals set even before we came down here, and we knew what we would have to endure to accomplish those goals. As I have previously mentioned I wrote to some Christian friends on a bulletin board I frequent. I found the concepts of these friends interesting as to our purpose here on earth. For the most part they believe that God created us to come to earth and praise Him. If we accept Him as our Savior, we are saved through the atonement. The cries of the people only grow louder and many, many times more confusing.

There are so many avenues to broadcast more and more different messages. I guess it should not be surprising that people are confused. The ladies from the bulletin board kept giving me links to many sites where their ideas and views were better explained by different men and women who blatantly contradicted each other.

I was pleased to see that all of the women agreed on one thing: the importance of the atonement. Mormonism is the last one left standing. Therefore, no matter how improbable, it must be the truth.

Will you believe? And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. This website is a work in progress. We accepted all these eventualities with a glad heart, eager to accept both the favorable and unfavorable. We eagerly accepted the chance to come earthward even though it might be for only a day or a year. Perhaps we were not so much concerned whether we should die of disease, of accident, or of senility.

Smith, Gospel Doctrine, Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering, and self-mastery. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. Whitney, in Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle, But I have changed my mind on that subject. Finite perfection may be gained by the righteous saints in this life. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Only as we overcome shall we become perfect and move toward godhood.

I go with questions and come back with answers. I feel spiritually rejuvenated and gain the faith and energy I need to get through my next week. We need people to testify of that. But we also need to remember that there are probably multiple people in that class thinking,.

In fact, sometimes I feel bad. I feel guilty for not having felt the Spirit. What am I doing wrong? Am I to blame? Watch this! The list goes on and on.
