Completion Over Consistency

[Anonymous]

Someone made a comment over on a thread at BCC that I want to excerpt here for discussion. I have bolded the line that impressed me the most:

Quote:

Although we don’t really talk about [it much], LDS theology (especially Joseph’s) solves problems by fundamentally choosing completion over consistency. It’s never either or; it’s always either and. It’s body and soul; individual and extended family/community; justice and mercy; autonomy and law; fall and redemption; personal revelation and hierarchical administrative order. We don’t worry about how far down the turtles have to go; the solution is found in the cosmic expansion of spheres of turtles that extend upwards.

How about “only true church” and “but not applicable to all people”

I guess that doesn’t quite follow the intended meaning of the blog. But I need that option to stay, for now.
