You are entitled to your belief about Our Father, God.

We believe God is a person with a distinct face, a physical body, and a real personality, who cares for His children. We believe this because Joseph Smith saw Him and spoke to Him in person. All we ask is that you respect our sincere beliefs.

Upon realising what Grace really was and how that contridicted everything I previously knew about “God”… and let me tell you, I never heard about Grace spoken of when I grew up, (and yes I did graduate from seminary with 100% attendance,and my Parents were the Stake Primary pres and on the high council)…

I actually began to let God’s truth in and realised the stuff that I had literally been brainwashed with growing up!!!!

One of the biggest things I still wonder how Mormons can believe is this; That “God” (as they perceive him to be) has a body of flesh and bone????
I mean honest for real?
They couldn’t get more creative with the Creator of the Universe…
The God who literally says when asked who he is “I AM”…The beginning and the end…
I mean is that it???????

Really… God is that small that you squish him into a body that we all have… one made of flesh and bone… I just actually cannot for the life of me think how that is even explainable.

I really believe now that most Mormons perceive God to be the best possible version of themself, add that to all the goodness they can somehow muster up in the world and call that God.
Sad really, I would hate to believe in a God so small he had a body made of the same stuff as mine.

My God is un-definable. Period.
If he wasn’t and I could just explain him away right down to what he was made of I think I would rather not believe in him!!!

P.S. I loved your post. I think you should write another one. You have very entertaining writing.

I’m also sure, however, that wickedness never can bring true happiness. Yes, pleasure (pleasure≠happiness) can be found in the drugs, sex, and violence of this world gone mad, but as the pleasure wears off (and how quickly it does!) a deep undertone of depression settles in- there is no lasting satisfaction there. I’ve seen that and I know it’s true.

Thirdly, I know that a fullness of joy can only come through a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In my post I discussed the happiness I feel because I know God’s plan. He has promised that we can find joy as we keep His commandments. I’m grateful to know what those commandments are and what blessings result in obeying them.

And now I’m off to my crazy physics class (which, for the record, doesn’t bring me much happiness..).
