About the opposition in all things, Alexandre Dumas (author of the Count of Monte Cristo) said: "He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness." ♥️♥️♥️

I posted this poem on his Faith Matters interview on Sunday, but I think I can put it here too: Eli Eli lama sabachthani? My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? My soul is empty, my stomach a pit Where can I find thee, feel thy presence one whit? I'm seeking the scriptures, but doubt crawls in Are you with me now, is my pain such a sin? Don't I need thee every hour? Why now leave me here to cower? Can you answer here my prayer? Tell me you are really there Tell me what I feel is you Show me what else I can do Yet Christ Himself uttered those words On the cross as he died and his voice was heard He went below both you and me Are we greater even than He? Our God He died alone and in pain And was buried, we thought, there to remain But even though He passed away He was raised to life on the very third day My God, my God, I know not why You've chosen this moment to let me die But I know you have power to redeem and to save me In the moments I cry Eli lama sabachthani

Because of poor choices I made when I got home from my mission I was excommunicated from the Church. I thought the "Punishment" was appropriate. However over the years I learned this wasn't a punishment. It was a tender mercy. I was in some ways separated from God and my Savior. Eventually my desire grew to be united again with them and I went through all I needed to do to reconnect with them! It was a wonderful experience that I recommend no one goes through...I'm so grateful for the Saviors atonement!!!

I love this channel and I love the focus on relationships with Jesus and God in this video! I worry that ppl will see this title and think that the church believes separation from God is a good thing. It very much isn’t a good thing. 2 nephi 9:26 calls this spiritual death an “awful monster”. So it clearly is not a good thing. The good thing is the desire to go back to God. Just because something good can happen after something else, it doesn’t make the original thing good. Another example of this is with David and Bathsheba. Clearly, David broke the law of chastity. But Jesus came out of that bloodline. Notice something good came out, but that doesn’t mean breaking the law of chastity is a good thing.

Not irony -- paradox. There's a difference. Language use is important -- for writers and broadcasters especially. That said, the concept that to be close to God, we must be separated from Him is at the core of the Plan of Salvation. I have lived for much of my life in relationship societies -- the Middle East, for example -- which have no trouble understanding that it's all about relationships.

Curious whr Dr. Muhlestein's work is only published by Deseret books? Is that because he knows he would be laughed at by any reputable archeological publication? Watched with interest when he was on nat geo. Saw he was very careful to stick to 'proven archeology'. Ive heard him speak a fair amount on topics and his apolgetics are very problematic and him using his degree to add an imprimatur of authority is remarkably disingenuous. He will expound on his outlandish archeological claims in your circles, id like to see him expound on and then defend to a panel of egyptologists, say his preposterous defense of the book of Abraham, say. Wont see that this side of the 'veil' Can anyone say, confirmation bias?

I think that after millennia of raising spirit children, our heavenly parents created earth and sent us here so they could have some alone time and now they're at a celestial Bahamas style marriage resort rediscovering themselves. 😊❤

Us being separated from God is not Good it is Evil and most of us wont make it back. God allowed Satan to take our souls because it would allow for us to have babies and more children in heaven. Even if Satan will gain more children than God God doesn't care he only looks after his kids.
