Great video about what being open-minded means.  It really makes you think about the conversations we have with people.  I think we are all guilty of being close-minded on occasion, it takes some self examination to recognize when we are.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been told by several people and apologists that members of the LDS Church should not consider every word a prophet says as being from God. They insist that prophets are not perfect and will speak their opinion on occasion.  I could not agree more.  However, members do get the perception that a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mormonstalk.wordpress.com&blog=1009543&post=171&subd=mormonstalk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I came across an article in the Church News last week that got my attention.  Perhaps it is because it seemed so relevant to my situation.  The title was “Helping those with flagging testimonies”.  With more LDS members affected by anti-Mormon and secular views about LDS beliefs it is a worthwhile discussion.

Each of us has a certain level of faith that we are willing to exercise when it comes to religion.  Some have a low threshold of faith (e.g. Atheist), while others have boundless faith (e.g. &#8220;True believers&#8221;).  Nevertheless, everyone has a point at which their faith is tested.  When our faith threshold [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mormonstalk.wordpress.com&blog=1009543&post=145&subd=mormonstalk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are three distinct beings but one God in purpose.
Priesthood is necessary to perform ordinances like baptism.
The priesthood is not necessary to heal the sick. The most important thing is faith.
The Bible is not perfect but is the inspired writings of prophets and disciples of Christ.
