Mormon Member Thought January 4th,5th ,2016

Our Savior did not die on the ( Calvary ) - Just so many can get rich quick, gain wealth in money, gain prosperity in richness in comfort due to the basis of money , wealth.

He died on the the cross for our sins ,transgressions , where we will be able to be with him , our Heavenly Father again when our time on this planet is done.

With that it is not up to society to decide what we should do to be able to be with him , it is not up to society to say the concept of of money , wealth is one of many things to gain a front line to be with our father in heaven before anyone else is able to.

It is well known in the ( Mormon religion )- Are these simple words , saying > I don't believe that God tends to save just a few of of his children...

That is simply saying that he will save us all but also we must follow his teachings , the teachings of his son our Savior, to , also know that we are imperfect beings , that we do sin , with that we must repent each time we sin.

But that does not say that if we sin by killing / harming another child of ( Heavenly Father )- In addition we must know that we are all children of - Heavenly Father - And that he will always love us , he knows us better then we know ourselves.

This is one of many ways to look at this planet , that is simply it is a learning / teaching ground in what is one of many ways we can learn to do good , help others in need starting with those in our wards , our neighbors.

That goes on with learning more about both Heavenly Father , our Savior Jesus Christ - And follow the commandments , know this in what is in the ( D&C ) - Draw near unto me ,ye shall find me.- 

That is one that is seen as a prayer scripture as many Mormons know , that is one of many truths that we can learn of , from the two spiritual beings that always have , always will watch over us , again love us.

As long as we have faith , trust , love , belief in ourselves we can find it easy to do that same thing in , to , for Heavenly Father , Our Savior Jesus Christ , it will help us to be able to gradually understand more about them , many other positive spiritual, positive things.

 I know this , more to be true in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ -

Amen...

Mormon Member Thought & Feeling

This feeling that I know that we all get within us even if we do not notice it within us at any given point , time but eventually we do feel it when we are not in deep thought of other things in our own self , life even in while dealing with things that we all deal with,handle , even as we do feel that we are forcing ourselves to ignore it when we should never ignore any positive emotional & spiritual sense , feeling we have , we get with in us even as we listen to a soothing positive songs that are strong , positive , spiritual that we can all be , even feel spiritually , emotionally uplifted by within us to start that also can help us make the days , weeks thatwe are all in at present , even after the week / days that we have not felt so enriched within ourselves for any reason , no matter what is or has been on our minds/ thoughts that have the ability to drag us down from within emotionally but if we allow it to do so is the key that no one really sees that but that is not a fault of or even because of anyone even ourselves its simply apart of what happens in each of our lives that we would rather not have happen to us at all but it is that of what we can learn from , build ourselves to become emotionally stronger to where we can counteract.

Any one of many ways is to always think ,speak positively & I know that it is always easier said then done even if , when we say it ourselves even as we use it as advice to , for others that we know , are beginning to know, even for many in each of our families , friends , others around us & even those we work along with in any job we do , even when we do many things that we volunteer in doing even when it is helping Heavenly Fathers many other children , even when we get blessed for doing so.

And what can also uplift us from within ourselves that will eventually show as a beam of light that surrounds us that many will , do take notice of is listening to music like this that is on this post.

It is always a positive to listen to music like this because it is a reminder that we are never alone , we have never trully been alone even if we see that no other person is there for us we are reminded by songs like this on this post that Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ -In who I personally call our Spirituall brother even with the fact that I know he is our Savior as well -In any case both Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ is , has been , will always be with us.

They will always be with us , love us ,they will always help us with , though many things, they will guide us through many things with their loving grace,hearts,hands all in one, with that they will comfort us as well.

I know that I do not say this , many other things like this because I do not or even I can not always find ways to express it but the reason that I am doing so in expressing it I am listening to up;ifting spiritual music that the Moremon Taberinacle Choir is singing , even the songs that they have already sang as I started typing this on this post , its very heartfelf , spiritually emotional as well , its filling me with more then hope to start & within my being I am feeling strong , deeply emotional as it comes through my being with in me.

I encourage everyone to listen to this song , many others that follow it on this link on this post you will feel the same way yet I know in your own special way , that is how he made us where we feel many things that are positive to start but not at the same time as many others would , do feel at any given day & time but we do eventually feel it as I have , that I am even as I type this.

I can add that before I typed this post that I did pray to Heavenly Father in our Saviors name & it has helped me, it is still gradually clearing out all that is negative with in me, keeping all emotions , feelings with in me even spiritually with in me strong, its flowing through my innerself as it does that , even as I continue to listen to the music that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is singing.

I can add that I feel spiritually uplifted, it will carry on strong from there as even time itself rolls on/

I do more then understand that as we go through things , even as we are faced with, having to deal with many things in our own lives day to day that we more then often lose the sense thought , feeling that we are not alone that Heavenly Father , our savior is , has , will always be with us , help , guide , comfort us but we do not always realize at times in our lives that with the base of prayers , reading scriptues , listening to music again like whats on this post to start we can get / gain that back, we can do what we know how to -To keep it within us , we can also use this , help many that want to truly be helped when they are trully ready to hear what is , has been said on this post to start.

And with that we can help not only ourselves through it but we can help many of Heavenly Fathers children through it , as they work with it within their own lives / their own inner -being / with in their own self.

That I know can be both helpful, beneficial not only for us but as we help others with & through it - It can help them as well & even if they do not see it as wel help them we can encourage them but not in a overbearing way or nanner , I know that would not be our true intent but eventually they will see we are doing the help in a positive way , manner , in time they will thank us , with that as we all know we will be blessed for that as well.

In with that they will know in their own way as we do in our own way that Heavenly Father & Our Savior has not left their side at all , that Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ will never leave our side no matter what , they will never leave the side of tose that we help with , through it the best , spiritually positive way that we know how to even as Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ helps us help them , I know fpr many if they do not already feel it with in them even before they do help other children of Heavenly Fathers they can always pray for guidance in as they help the other person be that a male of female in a spiritually positive way , it can be also helful for us that help other children of Heavenly Father's to have both sister & brother missionaries with us as we help other children of Heavenly Father's.

This I know to be true for I say this in the name of our loving Saviors name -In the name of Jesus Christ -- Amen..

Mormon Member Thoughts :

It has been done more then it should be done by many , against many for any reason that is simply made up by any person that is normally mixed in with emotion , more, what that is -Is known as emotional judgments- It has been done by many in talks of uplifing the person or persons by many on stages , other & any event / gathering when it is done by many even ourselves even with not wanting to admit that.

This also happens with in our own family circles both of our own , our spouces families on either the man;s side of the family or the womans side of the family & at times it can be from both the man's , woman's side of the families at thesame time but different levels of it even can look , seem & feel like its at the same level as the other side is at when its not.still do it at various points , times in each persons life.

It still seems to be accepted by society in why many still do it in each persons lifetime , against / towards another person,

It has been more then known to be done by mostly loved ones like your mothers or fathers, even by your siblings like sisters & brothers , cousins , Nephew's & neices , grandpartents , step parents , friend's to start.

It has even done by ourselves even at that same point none of the manty that do it want to freely admit that it is being done by them because if they do admit it they would feel as less of a person , shameful.

So instead the person no matter who it is try's to convince themselves they are justified / in the right as they try to emotionally tear down the other person , while doing so they feel better about themselvers , this can be done because the person grew up around it even as it was coninually done to them so they grew up thinking , believing that its okay to do so even to an offspring be that your child at say to start the offsprings teenage to older age's & many will say things that they trully do not really mean even if , when they say that they do not truly mean starting with if they say something like go ahaed , kill yourself or hurt youself in any other way no matter what way it would be.

And when it is done to any person they fall into the emotional trap , repeat it back at the other person that is & has been doing it to them without ignoring it , simply walking away , not saying a thing to the one that is doing the sinfully negative verbal actions.

It can be said that the eason it is being done by the one to the other for the simple reason of the need that the person wants attention , acceptance , more & feels that they have never really felt that they are or were or even to where they felt or feel they never truly got any & as they do it they do also know that there are many other more logical , positive productive , realistic non hateful , nonharmful ways to get it but they instaed do it the illogical emotional hurtful way because they feel its the only way that they will be heard as they do it , they think many will respect them mre then the person has felt if at all.

So it is my belief , positive thought that we must walk away from the negativity , pray to Heavenly Father in Our Saviors name For help , guidance to better handle things even in others if we are not able to find ways to better handle it , with that pray for those that are trubled in who feel that they are in the right in by trying to emotionally tearing you or anyone else down for any reason no matter what it is or might have been , even no matter what it maybe.

Heavenly Father will help you , others through many things even in this situation , issue.

This is what I know to be true for I say it in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ -AMEN...

January 2016

I know that many if not all of us know that he answers our prayers on , in his own time.

I know that as well,with that I am a strong believer in him , his only begotten son our savior in who 

I myself consider to be my spiritual brother, with that said I believe that our savior is each , everyone of Heavenly Fathers childrens brother.

On a totally different matter when one is in desperate need of many things that is realistic, logical to start with.

At this current what I am currently going  though I am in need of his help more then of his guidance at this point , time that I can see now.

It is said to be normal that one can have more then regret, dislike of Heavenly Father -- Even if you feel that no matter how much / how many times that you have gone to church  , read the scriptures , prayed in our saviors name that he has done you wrong in one or more ways no matter the reason , the situation might have been or might be at any current point & time to start.

I have heard that it is okay to question things even spiritually but you do not want to over do it in the the questioning things both emotional , spiritual.


Life has its bad , good pints that leads us to many things both that are comforting , not so comforting at all, at times just plain uncomfortable where it makes many of us uneasy both 
emotionally , psychologically, also spiritually as well.  


I do pray that many important to me from here on through that he will make an exception as I have with , for many people I do pray , hope that Heavenly Father will do that with , for me in our saviors name in what I ask to start.

With that I do pray that things get better for me from this point on through my life time on this planet of ours that Heavenly Father , our savior created for us .





January 19th 2016



Why is it that when something is happening , is about  to happen to you , no matter how many times that you pray in faith , belief  that you have or even begin to have , no matter how many times you go to church that you both begin , or already officially apart of  even as a convert 
why is it that he in our saviors name still allow you to go through such negative, uncomfortable things even things that can tear you down emotionally , still claim to love , care for , about you.

In my state of mind now at most in this point , time that he does not care , love you at all 
& I can say that same thing , I had that same thought when my daughters were taken from myself , my now ex wife.

 Still give him til saturday to get it where things get better for me where I do not end up in a place that I do not want to go in to , he already knows the many places that I do not want to end up at 
, in.

So til that point comes I may have that thought , emotion for a long while .

But know that I rather not have that thought , emotion but again I do unfortunately.

March 29th 2016




I am currently in the very area that I left in 2013 , I was hoping that I would never 
come back out here to live ever again but I would come out here to see my family members 
but two others that are way more important but there names will not be said in this at all
, nor will the names of my family members.

I wanted to stay living in the bay area but one stupid idiot that claimed to be a christian 
that may still live at 1585 Studios -On El Camino Real  Complex named Mt. View Studios
- He works at the Trader Joe's- In the San Antonio Shopping Center also known now as 
San Antonio Village  On West El Camino Real , San Antonio Road, his name is William he wears glasses , when he is not working he wears a baseball cap with no actual team just a plan cap but it does show various types of writing on it via stitching  on it, he walks down the El Camino Real to , from work this very person has emotional, physiological issues , his diagnoses is ( Asperger's )... 

He is the reason I am no longer in the bay area because of what he caused that effected me , I know that he does not care , I know that no true Christian would do the very thing that 
he did to me that caused me to relocate again in what was not in the bay area so in all 
he is not a true Christian no matter what he or his mother , father ,sisters may try to claim / say.


If I was not Spiritual then I would wish that he get shot dead , that would make things better for me if he was .

I know that it is not a positive thought but truth be told I have wished it on many other 
people in my past that being to start before I became spiritual I have repented  for those sins 
even before I got baptized in 2006.

I am now in my own place , so far not one thing has happened for me that I would consider 
, feel it being positive , logical , good , more many things have not gone the way that would help me through each day without worry.

I know that it is said that Heavenly Father only puts you in situations that he knows that you can handle but in this case for me alone it is not the way that is spoken about when it comes to that in what many also call a trial of sorts that Heavenly Father puts you in.

If that was true then I would be in a situation that is easier for me to handle , deal with then where I am , where , how I feel about it now .

The way that it would be easier for me is that I would be working , that I would have a woman who loves me , wants to be with me , only me , who wants to spend , share her life with me a woman 
who would not lie to me , who would not hide things from me a woman who would not 
cheat on me no matter what .

And also where I would be stable financially - That would be a start in the positive way.

The other positive way is that I would have a chance to raise children of my own in my own place with the mother of the child or children.

With those things that I would view , feel that they are easier on me I would go to church 
more then I have so far.


Those are are one of the several ways that I would continue going to church
 , Heavenly Father knows the other part without me saying it even on here.

                           Our Heavenly Family 
                                           Chapter 2



We Are Children of Our Heavenly Father


What do scriptures and latter -day prophets teach us about our relationship with
God?

God is not only the Ruler and Creator; He is also our Heavenly Father.
All men and women are literally sons & daughters of God.
"Man as a spirit , was begotten and born of heavenly parents,
and reared to maturity in the eternal mansions of the Father, prior 
to coming upon the earth in a temporal [ physical body " 
( Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joesph  Smith [ 1998], 335 ).

Every person who was ever born on this earth is our spirit brother or sister.
Because we are the spirit children of God, we have inherited the potential to
develop His divine qualities. 
Though the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can become like our Heavenly Father 
and receive a fullness of joy. 

How does your knowledge that you are a child of God influence your thoughts
, words , and actions?

We Developed  Personalities and Talents While We Lived in Heaven

Think about talents and gifts you have been blessed with.

The scriptures teach us that the prophets prepared themselves to 
become leaders on earth while they were all were still spirits in heaven
( see Alma 13:1- 3 ) Before they were born into mortal bodies, God
foreordained ( choose ) them to be leaders on earth.
Jesus, Adam, and Abraham were some of these leaders.
( see Abraham 3:22 -23 ) 

Joesph Smith taught that every man a calling to minister to the 
inhabitants of the world was [ fore ] ordained to that very purpose"
 (Teachings of Presidents of the Church Joesph Smith [ 2007 ], 511 ).
However everyone is free to accept or reject to  any opportunity to serve. 

We were not alike in heaven. We know for example that we were sons and 
daughters of heavenly parents -- males and females 
( see "The Family A Proclamation to the World," Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102 ).
We possess different talents and abilities, and we were called to do different 
things on earth.
We can learn more our eternal possibilities'' when we receive our patriarchal
 blessings ( see Thomas S. Monson, in Conference Report, Oct. 1986, 82 or 
Ensign, Nov. 1986, 66 ).  

A veil covers our memories  of our premortal life but our Father in Heaven
knows who we are and what we did before we came here.
He has chosen the time and place for each of us to be born so we can learn 
the lessons we personally need and do the most good with our individual
 talents and personalities.

Our Heavenly Father Presented a Plan for Us to Become Like Him

How does earth life help us prepare us to become like our Heavenly Father?

Our Heavenly Father knew we could not progress beyond a certain point unless
we left Him for a time. He wanted us to develop the godlike qualities that He has. 
To do this we needed to leave our premortal home to be tested and to gain 
experience. 
Our spirits needed to be clothed with physical bodies.
We would need to leave our physical bodies at death and reunite with them in the Resurrection.
Then we would receive immortal bodies like that of our Heavenly Father.
If we passed the tests, we would receive the fullness of joy that our Heavenly Father has 
received. ( See D&C 93:30-34. )

Our Heavenly Father called a Grand Council to present His pan for our progression
( See Teachings of Presidents of the Church : Joesph Smith, 209, 511 ). 
We learned that if we followed His plan, we would become like Him,  We would 
be resurrected, we would have all power in heaven and on earth;  we would
 become heavenly parents and have spirit children just as He does
 ( see D&C 132: 19-20 ).

We learned that He would provide an earth for us where we would prove ourselves
( see Abraham 3:24 -26 ) A veil would cover our memories, and we would forget our 
heavenly home.  
This would be necessary so we could exercise our agency  to choose good or evil
without being influenced by the memory of living with our Heavenly Father.
Thus we could obey him because of our faith in Him would help us when we heard it 
again on earth (  see John 18:37 ).

At Grand Council we also learned the purpose for our progression to have a fullness 
of joy.
However we also learned that some would be deceived, choose other paths, and 
lose their way.
We learned that all of us would have trials in our lives: sickness,disappointment, 
pain, sorrow, and death.
But understand that these would be given to us for our experience and our good 
( see D&C 122:7 ).
If we allowed them to, these trials would purify us rather than defeat us.
They would teach us to have endurance , patience, and charity
 ( see The Teachings of Presidents of the Church:Spencer W. Kimball [2006], 15 -16 ).
  

At the Grand Council we also learned that because of our weakness, all of us 
excepted little children would sin ( see D&C 29:46 - 47 ) 
We learned that a Savior would be provided for us so we can overcome our sins and 
overcome death with resurrection.
We learned if we place our faith in Him, obey His word and following His 
example, we would be exalted and become like our Heavenly Father.
We would receive a fullness of joy.

There is a God

                                    What are some things that testify to you that there is a God?

Alma a Book of Mormon prophet, wrote, "All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there  is a Supreme Creator" ( Alma 30;-44 ).
 We can look up at the sky at night and have an idea of what Alma meant.
There are millions of stars and plants, all in prefect order.
They did not get there by chance. We can see the work of God in the heavens and on the earth.
The many beautiful planets, the many kinds of animals , the mountains , the rivers, the clouds that bring us rain and snow --- all these testify to us that there is a God.

The prophets have taught us that God is the Almighty Ruler of the universe, God dwells in heaven ( see D&C 20:17 ). Though His Son, Jesus Christ, He created the heavens and the earth and all things that are in them ( see 3 Nephi 9;15; Moses 2;1 ). He made the moon,the stars, and the sun.
He organized this world and gave it form, motion and life. He filled the air and the water with living things.
He covered the hills and plains with all kinds of animal life. He agve us day and night , summer and winter , seedtime and harvest.
He made man in His own image to be a ruler over His other creations ( see Genesis 1;26- 27 ).

God is the Supreme and Absolute Being in whom we believe and whom we worship.
He is "the Great Parent of the universe," and He "looks upon the whole of the human with fatherly care and paternal regard" 
(  Teachings of Presidents of the Church Joesph Smith (  2007 ), 39 ).


The Nature of God

What are some of Gods attributes?

Because we are made in His image ( see Moses 2:26, 6;9 ), we know 
that our bodies are like His body . His eternal spirit is housed in a tangible body of flesh and bones           (  see D&C 130;22  ) God's body, how - ever , is perfected and  glorified , with a glory beyond all description.

God is perfect. He is a God of righteousness with attributes such as love, mercy, charity, truth, power, faith, knowledge, and judgement.
He has all power . He knows all things. He is full if goodness.

Why is it important for us to understand the nature of God?

Coming to Know God 

How can we come to know God?

Knowing God is so important that the Savior said "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent'' ( John 17;3 ).

The first and greatest commandment is "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart'' 
( Mathew 22:37 ).

The more we know God the more we love Him and keep His commandments ( see 1 John 2:3 - 5 ).
By keeping His commandments we can become like Him.

We can know God if we will:

1. Believe that He exists and  that He loves us ( see Mosiah 4;9 ).

2. Study the scriptures ( see Timothy 3;14 - 17 )

3. Pray to Him ( see James 1:5 )

4. Obey all His commandments as best way as you can  ( see John 14:21 -23 ).

As we do these things. we will come to know God and eventually have eternal life.

Ponder what you cab do to draw nearer to God.
