“I have never dreamt of contesting the Church her right to remain faithful to herself, meaning to the commandments that come from Doctrine... but that she expects to impose these commandments upon me who do not have the good fortune of being a believer, trying to pour them into civil law in a way that they become obligatory even to us non-believers, is it right? To me it doesn't seem so.” WayTryingSeemsLawChurchFortuneBelieverDoctrineFaithfulCommandmentsGood FortuneNon Believer Author:Indro Montanelli
“We often say, and you have heard the expression as it has already been referred to in this conference, that "as man now is, God once was, and as God now is, man may become." The only way man may become as God now is, is through fulfilling the laws of celestial marriage and the laws of the gospel, as I have just read to you the word of the Lord from the D&C. Can we afford to overlook such opportunities for exaltation? Temple marriage is not just another form of church wedding; it is a divine covenant with the Lord that if we are faithful to the end, we may become as God now is.” IfsMenWayMayEndsFormLawOpportunityChurchLordHeardDivineExpressionFaithfulTemplesFulfillingConferencesCovenantCelestialExaltationTemple Marriage Author:Eldred G.
