the Way to know Christ = the Way to become like Him = the Way to recieve the promise of Eternal Life
Why do we have secrets as part of the covenant path? I read a post from a friend yesterday (thanks Sarah!) where she made a list of all the secrets in our LDS tradition. As I read through the list I realized how these added secrets are a major abandonment of the true doctrine of […]

In a number of previous articles I’ve highlighted changed doctrines. I feel these changes have a collective effect on our understanding of the way to Christ, and that effect is to affirm what God has not yet confirmed. This describes the LDS changes to the true doctrine; they have created a Self-Affirming System or in other

In our continuing effort to honour the true way to Eternal Life, this essay will look at how to discern true and false prophets. I used to believe that many we call Prophets truly were Prophets, but when holding up the Doctrine of Christ as the standard, I realized that how we determine true Prophets

I love my family, and I’d like to be with them forever, but where’s this revelation or doctrine that suggests we can’t be together without Temple ordinances? Or where is the revelation that suggests our families are spiritually protected by Temple Sealings? Mist in the Mountains by Caspar David Freidrich, 1808 When choosing a piece

The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer Milk before Meat I think often of this verse: D&C 19 21 And I command you that
I would have expected that a deep study into the Way to Eternal Life would have made me even more delighted by Exaltation, but it hasn’t. In fact, the more I rejoiced over Eternal Life passages, my understanding expanding, some elements of Exaltation and the temple seemed to be in the way. Robert, Hubert;

Christ establishes His doctrine again and again throughout scripture, and miraculously, I find that this doctrine remains consistent throughout all the standard works. Referencing the doctrine Christ has laid out (as faith in Christ, offering the broken heart & contrite spirit, being baptized in water, receiving the baptism of Fire & the Holy Ghost, becoming

It seems to be a common belief that if we’ve been baptized, have been to the temple, and are living the gospel sincerely, that we feel we’ve accomplished most of the markers along The Way to Christ. We’re in the “enduring to the end” part of our journey. However, I’ve come to realize that there was
