2 nephi 28: 1 - 16
in what ways do pride and false teachings influence people?
-->
the verses about eating, drinking, and being merry have always caused
me to think about the danger in writing our own laws for earth life. i
think so many people who make choices that would lead them away from
Heavenly Father and His teachings develop an attitude that they can live
the life they want, pay for it later, and everything will be fine, "at
last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God". how false that is. and
also how sad.
i personally receive so many blessings and
beautiful feelings of comfort, peace, and happiness from following the
teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ. why would i want to every do
anything to deny myself of those feelings or blessings? "the natural
man is an enemy to God, and has been, from the fall of Adam". the
natural man in us is prideful and has irrational views of how this life
should be. but deep inside us is rooted a faithful spirit that chose to
come to earth and live according to the principles we knew to be true -
the principles that would one day take us home.
