Is a member who sips a cup of coffee here, smokes a cigar there, or skimps a bit on tithes ultimately “worthy”?A concern a lot of Latter-day Saints have, and the church itself has, centers on one of the faith’s most emphasized targets: your worthiness.
Others are turned off by the notion of measuring worthiness, of issuing that thumbs-up acceptance to some and a thumbs-down rejection to others. Temple attendance is supposed to be a “sacred privilege” only for those who qualify according to their worthiness quotient.You might wonder where God draws the line between worthy and unworthy.
2. Do you have a testimony of the atonement of Jesus Christ and of his role as your Savior and Redeemer?4.
6. Do you follow the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ in your private and public behavior with members of your family and others?
It's one of God's requirements, so if you want HIS rewards, meet His entrance/protection requirements . Do you want to do it the worlds way, you can take their benefits package, see how far it takes you.
Making God in my own image.
Study the prophets and quit making drama
Worthiness makes one feel good because they follow the Prince of Peace! No matter what life throws at you, you can always have peace in your heart from following the Savior, which is striving to be worthy. For real.
Shame always comes with the demand to be good enough. It’s a package deal. But shame can maim and kill. People with no business getting into others’ heads end up making plenty of work for mental health professionals or funeral directors.
I thought GordonMonson was a sports journalist.
Honest headline... SLTrib declairs that God is not worthy to determine who can enter His kingdom. Surprisingly Satan and his angels agree!
I've seen this one before...
Gordon, no one cares about your opinion on the Mo church... Just saying. Go report on something more interesting, like the hair-sniffing, ice cream licking President.
If your worthiness is tied to tithing, your church is obsessed with money.
Jesus gave you a parable to understand exactly this
A better question would be is the religion worthy of your time, labor and faith.
Nice to not care what the lds church thinks
Typical hot garbage clickbait from the
Remember, a bishop is just a man, a man who said yes to being the ass in the seat. Not magical, not mythical. on top of that he misinterprets his own conscience to be divine influence.
Dude the Bishops just follow orders.
Shame always comes with the compulsion to be “worthy.” Obsessive compulsive lifestyles are quite like that - shame-based. Is it any wonder once this obsessive compulsive lifestyle wraps up, it’s onto others, including additive disorders?
Religious worthiness is subjective, subject to rationalization of behavior. Rationalization by the saints has become a requirement to gain access to the celestial. A majority supported and voted for the most evil person to ever hold the presidency, twice.
Is it possible to mute GoMo’s hot takes on the church? They might have been interesting 30 years ago when I was at BYU.
Throwing stones again? Even though you didn't report the child abuse you knew about this last year? Better report that right away, don't you think?
not a bad head line for once good job
This “worthiness obsession” comes with crippling shame. Shame kills too many people.
