Interludes – Avoiding Myopia
A myopic focus on only one aspect of the gospel limits our ability to fully comprehend the plan of salvation.
Category: Random Thoughts
I believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is reasonable. The plan of salvation makes sense to me, particularly when we understand that all truth comes from God. (D&C 88:41). So as we discuss the gospel, we can discuss it in conjunction with reason and logic. The Lord has said, “Come, . . . let us reason together, that ye may understand; Let us reason even as a man reasoneth one with another face to face.” (D&C 50:10-11).
These “random thoughts” are not necessarily things that will be found in the scriptures, but they make sense to me, and are thoughts that have helped me better understand the princples of the gospel.
