Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve participated on this forum, but I’m back with a new question/thought… I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the LDS church teaches us that “Obedience is the first law of Heaven.”
Take a second and really think about that statement. Is obedience really the FIRST law of Heaven??
In my mind I can’t help thinking that there are more important things. What about love or truth?!
I can’t idly sit back and accept this as a true doctrine. I know that obedience does have it’s place, but I certainly would not place it as the most important law of Heaven. I feel like this is another Mormon dig at learning to keep quiet and not ask the important questions. Thinking about it really upsets me.
Finally, I understand that this law is not “Official Church Doctrine” but to me, that phase is seeming more and more like a convenient little loophole.
I’m anxious to hear your thoughts.
Interesting questions, CandleLight25. There was a thread recently where this came up that you might enjoy reading. http://forum.staylds.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2365&hilit=commandments Thanks for the link! Like I mentioned, I’ve been out of the loop for a while so I wasn’t aware. I’ll check it out 
Edit: I just read through the thread you sent me to. It was very enlightening, and I appreciate what was said there. Forgive me for beating a dead horse!
😳 To me it seems as though the topic has been thoroughly addressed.:clap: I can accept the wisdom shared in the thread. Thanks again!It’s cool, CandleLight. I am going to lock this thread and direct anyone who wants to continue the conversation to comment on the one that is linked in m&g’s comment.
