Are you saying Elsie you are part of the secularist?

What I said was....

"Listen to this 'teacher' who fills young minds full of mush with arrogance and pride."

(That IS the one YOU referenced on your homepage; RIGHT?)

“Listen to this ‘teacher’ who fills young minds full of mush with arrogance and pride.”

As LDS the one filling my mind is the Holy Spirit teachers can lead but the drinking is in the Spirit of the Lord.

Those who have a desire to learn and know the things of the Lord are the ones who received a witness of the Holy Ghost

When that occurs it has nothing to do with how the world preceives so arrogance and pride has no presents.

Each LDS is responsible for the all their action and knowledge that they gain in this life.

Like the Ten Virgins and the oil in their lamps, it can not be bought at your local gas station or school of higher learning.

So when this statement is made

“We really aren’t obligated to answer everyone’s questions...”

“You already know MORE about God and Christ and the plan of salvation than any who would ATTACK you.”

It is all the time spent one on one with the Lord in study and prayer.

The LDS lessons have always been on those counsel in the Bible

COME FOLLOW ME

Matt. 16: 24
24 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow dme.

Matt. 19: 21
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Mark 8: 34
34 ¶ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mark 10: 21
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Luke 9: 23
23 ¶ And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his across daily, and bfollow me.

Luke 18: 22
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the apoor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

John 21: 22
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he atarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

*****

and also Jesus said “LEARN OF ME”

Matt. 9: 13
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Matt. 11: 29
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

John 6: 45
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
