This is the reason LDS never shut up about the importance of the Spirit.
Great. Yet, like many other doctrines, quotes, teachings and such, if my "feelings" from the "spirit" do not align with the accepted LDS norm I am out of line.

This is the real issue with the theology of LDS Inc. There is no hard and fast standard. It is not the same today, yesterday, and forever.


There is a hard and fast standard, am I pleasing God? That's about it. You have to sort it out with him though.

Are you following the counsel of His anointed apostles and prophets?

I'd say no.
