What I have been observing everything the Lord has council his children to do some on this thread do the opposite.

How many use the language of the Lord that edifies and uplifts and builds?

Actions such as bashing and tearing down does not exist in the Lord language when the Lord council his children!

I thank Lord for the restoration of His Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

To be closer to the Lord more need to ponder the Beatitudes.

Name given to certain declarations of blessedness in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5: 3-11, cf. Luke 6: 20-22).

They describe certain elements that go to form the refined and spiritual character, and all of which will be present whenever that character exists in its perfection.

Rather than being isolated statements, the Beatitudes are interrelated and progressive in their arrangement.

A more comprehensive and accurate listing is found in 3 Ne. 12 and JST Matt. 5, where a greater spiritual emphasis is given.

JOSEPH SMITH TRANSLATION

MATTHEW 5: 21
21 Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so to do, he shall in no wise be saved in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach these commandments of the law until it be fulfilled, the same shall be called great, and shall be saved in the kingdom of heaven.
