Old Testament Class Lesson 2 - Thou Wast Chosen Before Thou Wast Born

I missed to write the first lesson so I'm starting with the second one. Their's this Council in Heaven that took place before everybody else was sent here on earth to be tried and tested of their faith. Christ was chosen to be our Savior since he knew of the Father's Plan and acknowledged the importance of agency. He also gave the glory to his Father. Lucifer on the other hand, was not chosen and was cast down to hell since his proposal involves destroying agency and wanted the honor. Agency is the key component of our faith and growth towards becoming like God.

Now there were intelligences that were good and God hath foreordained them to be the builders of his kingdom here on earth. Several of them were Moses, Abraham, and other noble and great spirits. It's not guaranteed that they will be leaders but they are still left to their choices or agency.

Gospel Principles Class Lesson 1 - Their is God.

Some people chose to believe there's no God, but it really was there choice. That's the basis of their belief. People also can choose to believe He exists. All things here on earth denotes there's a God. The formula in science are just the representation of the natural order of things from here to the farthest galaxy we can see that God had bestowed for man's learning and benefit. This natural order includes the evolution of living things. It is the order that keeps this earth in balance. It is the order that keeps the galaxies and constellations to be in their right places. 


It is not by chance or a random event, that we end up here. The scriptures (Bible, Book of Mormon and many more) that the Lord had left us explains His very existence. The book written by prophets of old that testifies God exists. We have been created in his own image and Abraham and Moses had seen Him and testified of His nature and glory.


It is very important to know the nature of God. It allows us to understand who He is and what is He like? We know that he is the God of love, full of mercy and truth. He has all the power, all knowing and is full of goodness. Knowing Him can lead us to believe that he really exists and strengthens our confidence. It all starts by believing in Him and that he loves us. Pray and read the scriptures. 

Lessons from Church

I decided to blog about what we are learning from Church on a weekly basis. We do stay for 3 hours every Sunday. One hour for the Sacrament Meeting, another hour for our Sunday School and the rest of the hour is a split class where men and women.

Our lesson for this year on our Sunday School class is about the Old Testament. For our split class, it will be Gospel Principles for 2 years. I will be blogging both classes on a weekly basis.

The Pure Love of Christ - Charity

We had a great lesson from church today about charity. It's great to learn what Apostle Paul had said about charity in 1 Chronicles 13. That even if we had all the knowledge, all the faith that we can move mountains and have been a witness to countless angels but without charity we are nothing. It's the greatest among faith and hope. It's a kind of unconditional love and expects nothing in return.

We have not charity if we only serve people within our comfort zone or situations we like. I'm a big fan of Ronald Reagan because he is full of charity. When he got shot by this young boy as an assassination attempt and rushed to the emergency room, the first thing he thought of was that of the boy who shot him. He said a prayer in his heart that the boy would be fine and  hoped that he would become a better person. I could not think think the same way if that happen to me. Some are born with it. Others have to improve it, like me.

The Lord Jesus Christ had infinite love for the human kind. He went in as a lamb going to his slaughter he knew that this has to happen or else all mankind will be lost. At the cross, he pleaded with this Father to forgive those who had crucified him for they know not what they do. He had the perfect understanding of what their situation was.

I had an experience where I requested for another copy of my diploma for my bachelor's degree. That required me to travel about 8-10 hours heading to school to apply for another diploma. They said it would take at least 3 months before I can get it. But my time was far spent and had to get it a year after. The lady at the registrar pulled my diploma and to my surprise, they made it for the same name but for a different person. There were 3 exactly the same full names in school when I graduated. I understood the situation and I didn't get angry or disappointed. I smiled and asked them to make sure the next time I come it will be mine. The lady was so happy that she wanted me to be her friend and we've kept in touch from them on.

The purpose of this blog.

There's been a ton of confusion on who we are and what we do. I'd like to help clarify things and provide answers straight from what we believe and what we preach. The cornerstone of our faith and belief is the Lord Jesus Christ, which to many doesn't realize because they think that we worship Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was our prophet who re-established the church that Christ formed from the New Testament.

I will also be touching about Godhood, Doctrines, Scriptures, Laws, Temples, and many other things that we believe is true. I hope that people out there in the Internet will come across these site that is searching for answers about us. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have.
