It is so easy for us to justify a little sin. We all say, I'm not perfect, I'm not ready to give up....whatever it
is. But the Lord knows I'm trying. I forget this isn't how it works sometimes. We have to repent and try
to be really truly perfect everyday. I'm grateful this is pointed out as one of the false teachings in this chapter. It's too easy to fall into that trap for me.
This really is a profound discourse on the flaws of the teachings of churches in this day. It's couched in
much more elegant language usually, but this is what they teach. How sad to believe that God's work is
done and miracles and revelation have ceased. How grateful I am for the gospel!
I wonder how the false churches will fall in the last day. Does that mean when Christ comes and tells
them they are wrong, or is it before that? It is going to be painful and terrible, either way. I wish I knew
better how to warn my neighbor! I love that the Lord tells us again He does it from love, so that they can
repent and not be captives of the devil. Another example of trials that really are blessings.
It's also easy to see the lies of the devil Nephi discourses about here. How some are angry at things
that are good, and some are too pacified, and some believe there is no hell and none of it matters. I
can see those things in the lives of people I love. And the argument against the end of revelation here
is brilliant, too; the Lord told us he would teach us line upon line. Who can tell God He is done, and we
know everything now. How sad that people want to!
