"WE FAIL TO COMPREHEND THEM FULLY.' THIS TENDENCY TO MISUNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE..."

So the impact to one's soul if they never "comprehend them fully" is what? Does one get a pass for at least trying, like the telestial or terrestial kingdom for instance if deemed worthy "enough"? Or is it outer darkness because you gave up trying to decipher the code that is mormonism

The use of the words of "comprehend" and "tendency" place the failure squarely on the shoulders of the member mormon.

The mere fact that mormonism is a maze is excluded from their so-called "rationale".

Note, too, the whole impersonality of this legalistic religion.

The focus is "them" (commandments) not Him (the Commandment-Giver).

As we see in this article, the focus isn't even on obeying HIM. Relationally MIA.

(The difference is like a "brown-noser" stuck in the work of dotting every "i" of a work policy vs. relating personally to the boss!)
