Originally posted by Crockett View PostAs priesthood holders / agents of God, we still have agency. We have to choose to endure to the end. We have to choose to keep the covenants we have made. Accepting the priesthood is still a probationary state. The process of sanctification is one where we continue to sin, but over time it should be less and less. Repentance is the process of quitting things we are supposed to not do and starting to do the things we are supposed to. This is a gradual process, a ladder, and we continue this climb/path in an imperfect, yet justified state, because of our continuous repenting, the Atonement, and our covenants. Ultimately, when we have proven faithful enough we will be fully sanctified, but for now we are justified by the grace of God, BECAUSE WE STILL SIN. Also, agency is a divine principle -- God possesses and exercises His agency based on a full knowledge of good and evil ("ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil"). He knows sin brings pain and death and always chooses good.
Isn’t all this far too abstract and theoretical to put out there like it’s math or science?
Seriously I don’t understand how anybody can think he knows all this very specific stuff about what God supposedly does and knows and agency and repentance and justification and atonement and all this stuff works.
You understand that people have just made all this stuff up, right? The biggest mistake is thinking any of that stuff you state with such assurance is knowable or known by you.

It’s always interesting to see which religious post will set Cardiac off."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

The government forces everyone to have a colonoscopy.
This was in Teacher's Quorum. I'm not sure what made the kid an expert on colonoscopies, but I guess his step-dad is a Dr.
He insisted that the government forces everyone to have one, whether they want it or not. I stopped the discussion to assure the other boys that the government does not force this on everyone. He followed up with something along the lines of basically requiring it and talking everyone into getting it done.
Weird conversation for a Teacher's Quorum. Then again - I think about anything is game in the 14 yr old mind.
