I find it comforting to believe that there is one universal truth[….] However, I leave a large room for error on my ability to grasp “the truth” and understand it, so I go back to HiJolly’s zen teachings that it is better I live as I believe, and let that truth distill on me at its own pace.
I love this! To me “the Gospel”
IS“truth” …and it’s our task as humans to learn more about what that is exactly. I probably paste this quote way too much:
”Mormonism is truth; and every man who embraces it feels himself at liberty to embrace every truth: consequently the shackles of superstition, bigotry, ignorance, and priestcraft fall at once from his neck; and his eyes are opened to see the truth, and truth greatly prevails…”also “Mormonism is truth, in other words the doctrine of the Latter-day Saints, is truth. . . . The first and fundamental principle of our holy religion is, that we believe that we have a right to embrace all, and every item of truth, without limitation or without being circumscribed or prohibited by the creeds or superstitious notions of men…”Joseph Smith RS/P manual p.264 I don’t think that says our current understanding is perfect and complete — but rather if we are true seekers of Christ and have a love for “the Gospel” then we will value new insights of the great “whole” that is truth, and embrace it all
