The contrast between "keep my commandments," and "...stand ready, watching for every communication I will send to him" produces a drastic difference to the doctrine, taking it from an institutional commandment issuing organization, to an individual relationship between mortals and deity. Nibley called it the primordial unity between men and Gods. <br /><br />There is a proving. And I believe the work we are currently engaged in is a proving ground, to see who will wait, expecting and receiving communication from the Lord, before moving forward. Naturally, there must be another choice provided to make available another option. Our love is what is in question, not God's or the Lord's. <br /><br />Those who claim to love the Lord, but do not stand ready, watching for every communication that he sends, whether by his voice or by the voice of a servant He sends carrying a message, they do not love the Lord. Even when they claim that they do. Even when they claim to cast out devils in His name, perform miracles in His name, etc. <br /><br />I am surprised when people call me scared and acting out of fear, when they are frustrated by my not participating in a vote for acceptance of a guide and standard, supported by a majority. They have this scripture. I am living true to it. But they call me dark for doing as I have been instructed. There is a lot of things that we can find in common, and believe in common, but when the time comes to act on it, ...well, that's just another story. <br /><br />RobHuh?
