Our Heavenly Father's Goal

-
An image of a Christus statue coupled with a quote by Elder Richard G. Scott: “It is a fundamental truth that through the Atonement … we can be cleansed.”
In our lifetime we will set goals and make plans to help us achieve our dreams. For example a high school student will want to college. Going to college is this student's goal and how he or she needs to get to college is by making specific plans to get to that goal. This student's plans could be studying everyday, getting good test scores, join a extracurricular program, etc.. This student will most likely make it to college if this student follows the plan that he or she has made. Just like a hard working student that wants to go to college, our Heavenly Father also set goals and makes plans. His goal is to make so that all of us can live with Him again in his presence! And He has made plans for us to come back to him! But unlike the plans of a student Heavenly Father's Plans are perfect! So what are the plans that He has made? Well one of His plans was for us to be able to learn and grow. So He created the earth! So that we can learn and grow from our experiences! While we are on this earth we will also make choices that are good and choices that are bad... When we our choices are bad then that makes us imperfect. But the problem is that the only we can live with our Heavenly Father Again is by being perfect. So how can we be perfect when there are many chances on this earth when we will make choices that lead us to sin? Well made another plan for that! So He sent His Son named Jesus Christ! So how does Jesus make us perfect then? Well while Jesus was on this earth suffered and died for everyone of our sins and imperfections. We call this The Atonement of Jesus Christ. So how can we use this Atonement? While Jesus was on the earth He taught something called the Gospel of Jesus Christ which leads us to receive the Power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives which then helps us become perfect and then we are able to live with our Heavenly Father again!

Is truth absolute?

-
Although truth in and of itself implies a sense of definite knowledge or veracity, truth has become slightly hazy in what it constitutes in recent years. It's close connection with "fact" has become weaker. Why is that? We can gain a better understanding when we look at history as we have it. There was a time in history when those of the best and brightest were all absolutely sure that the Earth was the center of this universe, but as time went on we found that after searching, studying and questioning, that the Earth was not at all the center. It was merely a blip in the cosmos, revolving around the incandescence of the Sun. They had worked hard to find their idea of truth, but the real truth; that is, the fact and reality that could not be denied was that they were incorrect. That does not make them bad scientists or unintelligent humans. They operated on their level of understanding and did their best given the circumstances. They simply did not know there was more tru...

What is a Prophet? How is it not a saint?

-
  As missionaries we have received many questions. One of those can be fairly summed up in this question: ''What is the dfference between a Saint and a Prophet?'' I did some reading in The Bible and here is what I found!   In the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans, he says in 1:7 "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." We understand Paul was, of course speaking to all of the Romans that had then accepted Christ and His Gospel.   What the Apostle Paul describes is that saints are all members of the church. All those who have accepted Christ and been baptized in his name are called to be saints. They are called to transcend the basic and live with higher standards, values, and convictions. (see Romans 12) The word saint comes from a greek word that has also been rendered to mean ''holy.'' The general idea of the word means simply to be set...
