Before I leave my house, I like to pray to God to help me Love everybody I come in contact with.

I promise you that it works. It's a miracle!

@empbac it is the ultimate sign of love. The atonement is the most difficult doctrine to understand because we cannot comprehend the messure of God's love. It is felt and not understood. I hope that I have not confused you.

@guidedbythespirit We only go by mormons because that title is what most people call us, just so there is no confusion. It's like how people call Catholic Chistians just Catholic. Whether they are Mormons, Catholic, Evangelical, Protestant or any other religion that bases there belief in Jesus Christ, they are all Christian.

We don't claim that we are 'Mormon' because we believe in Jesus Christ, we claim we are Christan because we believe in Jesus Christ.

@guidedbythespirit What are the basic Christian tenets that you are referring to? Belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior? The Bible as sola scriptura (how ironic if thats the case, because there would be no Christians until the fourth century)...or perhaps something else (without offence)

Tell us what are the basic Christian tenets, in your opinion or according to the Bible, and then we will be better able to answer your question.

@donwastemytimebaby And we hope you do! Keep the Faith

im not mormon but that was beautiful! it makes me want to know more about the religion!

[guidedbythespirit]

Is it possible for Mormons to be a Christian? Suppose we evangelical Christians were to claim that we are “Mormons” because we “believe in Jesus Christ,” but we deny the Book of Mormon and teach that Joseph Smith was a false prophet. How would a LDS person feel about us claiming to be “Mormon” when we reject the basic tenets that underlie the LDS religion?

@BCCWritingClass -- I faced this issue alot on when I was a missionary - that is a question that people ask, all the time. There is a scripture in the book of Mormon that says, "The Spirit of Christ is given to every man" - so the love of Christ is a principle, an inherent trait, whether people are taught about Him or not. You do make a valid point though, it's a great question, and it has great answers too =)

Love is a great thing. I am separated from my wife and it hurts. My love for is what is getting me through. I hope that one day we can get back together.

[tubaheros]

Jeffrey R. Holland is such an amazing speaker!!!!

[jjohansen86]

@BCCWritingClass He didn't say that a person can't love without Jesus, but if he had, it still would have been true, for every good gift comes from God, and while people may not believe in Christ, yet gifts from God have been given through Him, including love. Furthermore, Elder Holland is a prophet, seer, and revelator. It is not narrowmindedness that leads him to say that in Christ alone we can find the greatest happiness, but because God told him. This I know directly from God.
