Scott Lloyd Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I was so busy this past weekend covering general conference that I missed most of it. If that sounds ironic, it's because it is meant to.Anyway, reading the Church News proofs today, I came across what, for now, is my favorite quote of the conference. It's from Elder Jeffery R. Holland:Clearly, anyone who thinks Jesus taught no-fault theology didn't read the fine print in the contract.Classic. And sig-worthy.
bluebell Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I loved when Elder Holland talked about having a house full of bedlamites.

Scott Lloyd Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 What does he mean by that? I am bit dense these days!I think it speaks to the prophecies in 2 Nephi 28:78, but I've yet to hear or read the talk itself.Add on: Here's a link to the Church News article, already online.And here's a contextual rendering of the quote:Elder Holland referenced Christ's Sermon on the Mount, where the Savior began by pronouncing gentle blessings before transitioning to the challenges demanded of true discipleship, ending with the "knee-buckling" declaration, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.""Clearly anyone who thinks Jesus taught no-fault theology didn't read the fine print in the contract! No, in matters of discipleship the Church is not a fast-food outlet; we can't always have it 'our way.' Some day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ and that salvation can only come His way.
WalkerW Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I loved hearing Almost Christian referenced in Conference. "Benign what-ever-ism" indeed. Goes right along with Elder Holland's quote.

Deborah Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 What does he mean by that? I am bit dense these days!I think he's referring to mainstream Christianity's idea that all you have to do to be saved is accept Jesus. In other words, faith without works.
Deborah Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I loved when Elder Holland talked about having a house full of bedlamites. That certainly fits my house now with 7 grandkids living here, from ages 2 to 18.
