(Harshness in reading is symbolic of what we’re feeling)
The Truth - can be ugly - or very fulfilling - which is why when I refer to the Truth - it's specific in nature and that from the Father and the Son. From this the discernment of what is happening in the world in which we live makes sense. The Father or the Son could've intervened at any time in the Life of the Savior to destroy the evil which was present - however, to have done so would've accomplished the Plan of the Adversary (or Satan) and deny men their agency (eternal reference).
Men and women have always had the ability on this earth and in their mortal probation to choose good or evil. That Satan and his minions made Good seem ridiculous in the eyes of men and women - and evil seem so acceptable - thus almost like a different type of okay (everyone is doing it) or even to the violations of all of the various Commandments - using the Scriptures to justify, etc. their behavior. One must remember - if the True Church of the Savior is on the Earth - then all of the other churches are wrong! During each dispensation when the True Church has been on the Earth there's always been other churches - all of which while having some truth were still wrong. That these other churches might do some good - and have good people attending them doesn't make them right - if the True Church is on the Earth.
During the Saviors time - there were many churches - and many different beliefs - and many who called themselves disciples - only stayed in the Saviors Church for a short window of time - as in all of the other dispensations - there's always been apostates (many who go off and start their own churches). Who led these other churches - Satan - for if they were indeed led by the Savior - they would've all been one Church and not many.
Evil is an ugly truth - in all of its different guises and poses. Evil truth is based on guile and deception. Yes we can see it - know it's there - but for those who choose to abide in evil - it's their choice - and only in the end will all men/women be judged by their decisions to have followed such.
However, good truth is different and more rejected than evil truth. Why, because men/women don't want to live all of the Commandments and they don't want to join the Saviors Church which requires such obedience in order to be called either a disciple or friend of the Savior. As you yourself has said you cannot accept that there is only one True Church - this doesn't mean there isn't it just means you don't know that there is or isn't. This has been true since Cain slew Able - down to our present day. However, if we're in the Last Days - and if the Father and the Son are found to have given Prophecies - then there has to be only one True Church. This Church would have to have been Restored for a live branch cannot be taken from a dead tree - and all of the Reformation churches since after the 1st Century AD - are in fact branches of a dead tree - found without Priesthood Authority - without eternal covenants and without any authority from the Father or the Son to act in their names.
Harsh - yes - emphatically YES! But never-the-less the truth. The Creeds of men supplemented revelation - priesthood authority and introduced confusion - contention and evil into the Lord's House and teachings. They changed the ordinances and the Holy Scriptures - Men took over - and at this point being led by their carnal nature - choose to follow the will of Satan and not the Father or the Son - with the sword, torture and threats of death and being forever damned for those who fought them. This continues into this day - however well disguised in some churches and openly preached in others.
All of us are lumped together in the philosophies of men/women - for thus they justify what they teach and enforce. The corrupt lawyers - judges - politicians - mayors - governors - teachers - various clergy - would never let us or anyone not be included in their reign of wickedness - and therefore will destroy any who oppose them. The media, press, TV, movies, music and other inventions of our society to steal away the thoughts and thus the hearts of men and women - and most especially our youth and children have no moral guidance to not corrupt all.
My research continues and I so far find nothing anywhere in the Scriptures which disagrees with what I've said or shared with others - and the more I learn of the Savior the more clearly I can see and understand what and why he taught what he did - and why those Apostles and Prophets teach via him - what they do.
Let us understand anyone who says that they teach in the name of the Father or the Son - is be saying such that they indeed are a Prophet or an Apostle - otherwise they are lying. And since none claim continued revelation - that the heavens are closed - and we need no more than the Bible - they have self condemned themselves. One of the sure Gifts of the Father and the Son is revelations - and that each person - can receive such for their stewardship - as a father - mother - son or daughter - man or woman - boy or girl - has always been and always will be consistent with the one True Church. To deny this - is to deny the answers to prayer - to deny the promptings of the Spirit which all men and women in mortality have or had - is to deny the Father and the Son - and their Apostles and Prophets - their teachings and thus the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Make no mistake my friends - we've much to learn and know - and each will be fully accountable and responsible for learning and thus doing all they can do to understand fully the teachings of the Father and the Son. Thus when I say - and have said - we've much to learn - and to do - and as for this world we live in - it'll only continue to get worse until the Second Coming - and the Second Coming cannot occur until the Saviors Church is Restored in its Fulness. The world says it hasn't happened yet - and there's no need for this to happen - thus denying once more the teachings of the Holy Scriptures - the Apostles - the Prophets - and most of all the Father and the Son.
One must truly read the Scriptures – especially Revelations – which is for our day – and to seek what has to happen before the Second Coming. So much is there and not being taught and that is the truth – both good and ugly. c/ork
“Ugly Truth – Good Truth”
cji
7/27/10
Slanted by various colors
one can but wonder what
if there’s good to be found
or is evil the state of affairs?
Lingering in the daylight
so many grays to be seen
nothing appears white/black
nothing appears as it is;
Ugly truth prevails in light
good truth forced to night
nearing the end of days
slanted by various colors!
