Class notes

Book of Mormon even though it is a compilation, only things included were for us. Evidence it was written for us.

Alma 7 has a checklist to see how you are doing, keep in mind that none of us will deserve eternal life, being better than others does not work at all (like grading on a curve.)

Salt Palace a talk on pornography saturday.

When we place God first, then everything else will fall into place.

It is not as important to know what we do, but know why we do what we do.

We seek like minded friends, ones with similar goals. That is like righteous  literature or uplifting music.

Some suppose humility is thinking less of ourselves. It is really thinking more about others. Some think it is about hurting yourself. Note:remember Paul Bettany in some movie.

Annointing and sealing the sick. It is easier to seal because you do not have to know what to say.

A man believes that he will survive otherwise deadly illness because he has children that need his help.

God will always help us to do what we need to,and love ourselves. Bottom line, God Loves all of us.

Joseph Smith, for a fact denied no man the priesthood.

Blacks were denied preisthood as a protection. Color of skin not cause of denying it, but only those with African lineage.

Problems in Brazil. In 1978, Spencer W. Kimball. Official declaration 2.

A guy no longer had faith but knew the church was true. So regardless of percieved racial persecution.

Book by Brent Topp "What's on the Other Side"

Portions of truths were accepted and given to others like Mohammed, etc. Necessary to allow all to have the opportunity to know the gospel.

He mentioned something that felt so universally regarded, and it makes me think that might be what was so desirable about Tal Bachman's "If You Sleep"

Bodies are also made of matter, it is finer

Body sort of hold us back in terms of mortal things.

Near death experience shared by those who had been blind and never had seen a thing.

I miss being with someone  who loves me more than they loved themselves.
Ignore

Those who claimed communication after shedding the body talk about music and it's significance.

It is harder to change without a body for some reason.

D&C 88

Death is like going Home.

Family History work on Steroids.

Spirits are like adults in appearance.

If we really love God then we will serve others.
