Week Fifty-eight!
This
week I have been thinking a bit about the doubts we can have as members and in the Liahona, and I assume also in the
Ensign, there was a great talk about When Doubts and Questions arise and it
defines both of these words to help us better ourselves.
First it starts by explaining that it is 100 percent okay to have
questions because questions help us to grow in our faith.
"Questions, when asked with a sincere desire to increase
one’s understanding and faith, are to be encouraged. Many ancient and modern revelations have come
as the result of a sincere question...A sincere questioner continues to be
obedient while searching for answers"
“By contrast, I have seen that when people doubt their beliefs,
they often suspend their commitment to commandments and covenants while waiting
for answers. The doubter’s posture is generally to withhold obedience or limit
it, pending resolution of the doubts."
But the thing that has been most important is when we have these
questions where we look for the answer. We need to know the intention of what
was written if it was to inform people about the church like lds.org or mormon.org
or if it was made to talk bad about the church.
But more importantly we can ask God. We can ask him if we have any
doubt or question and if we are spiritually ready for that response He will
answer. I know this is true and anything that is questionable is usually the
acts of man because His church is perfect
