Another good one from Kirby. http://www.sltrib.com/news/5152791-155/kirby-gods-will-is-personal- ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.sltrib.com/news/5152791-155/kirby-gods-will-is-personal- Quote:I told you that to tell you this. What most people call the will of God is actually a bit of gospel or dogma processed through the filters of our own personalities. That’s why God’s will changes from person to person, even in the same faith.
If you’re obsessively dogmatic, so too will be the manner of your worship. For example, Mormons are commanded not to drink intoxicating beverages. For most Latter-day Saints, this means no beer, wine or hard liquor. For others, it means no alcohol in any form, including cough syrup or sugar alcohol in some foods. To them, vanilla extract is of the devil.
Quote:Two guys can believe in the same thing, but just because one of them believes it while wearing a necktie doesn’t mean he automatically occupies the high ground of faith or is more in tune with the Spirit.
It could be that conforming to a dress code is simply more important to him than it is to the other guy. Yes, it could also mean that the open-collar guy is a fallen spirit destined for one of the lower kingdoms. My bet is that God doesn’t care one way or the other.
Amen. I wish they would have put Kirby in as one of the Apostles. Kind of like J. Golden Kimball – the “cussing apostle” You bet he would even beat out DFU on popularity (OK, maybe the women might not as much as the men).
