Faith and Life

        This is a hard subject to write about, I like to keep my beliefs quiet. I do not like to express them out loud. Probably has to do with the fact that if I do share I am called many names, Homophobic, hypocritical, and many other things that are just hurtful. Why do I believe what I believe? Well because I prayed to our Heavenly father and received an answer to my prayer. So I believe what I believe because of an answer to my Prayer. Whether you have a belief in God or not does not give you right to bad mouth me because I do. I have been called a sheep because I go to church. I can think for myself! I can do things by myself. I am not a sheep I am the Shepard as I bring my small flock to and far all while I herd and teach them. 

         I believe in a modern prophet and modern Revelation to people on this earth. I believe that the prophet Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon. He did not write it! He translated it through the priesthood of Jesus Christ. That Jesus Christ and his apostles had. I know many people that have left the LDS church and more times then not it boils down to hurt feelings by someone in that ward. It isn't because they do not believe in the gospel, Just that someone over stepped their own beliefs and used that to strike someone down. Now this is not the true meaning of the teaching of Jesus Christ. Jesus taught us to love one another. Not to put each other down. We are taught through teaching as young children that Freedom to choose is the greatest gift God have given us. 

           Could you believe if we where forced to believe in God. As a people we would rebel. We are rebellious in nature, we question everything. Believe in the LDS faith we are encourage to question the beliefs and the ordnance's in the gospel teachings. We are told to do that so we can have a Revelation for our self of the truth. Plain and simple is the Lord wants you to decide on how you worship or believe in him. For without him your life would not have a purpose. For with out purpose you will wonder aimlessly on this earth.

Now I write these things as to be of my belief. You must decide your own path.

Thank you
