Your Religion In The Spotlight. Does It Cause You Anxiety?


Recommended Posts

"I personally don't talk about underwear. Is that something you find interesting?"

Who are you quoting?

But to answer the question, no I don't find it interesting. However, it's my religion that makes something of it.

Yet here you are talking about underwear. Moreover, by asking if they find it interesting that Mormons are required to wear special underwear, you are inviting them to tell you about why they find underwear interesting.

We've gone off on another tangent.

Back to the topic at hand.

Not really. Putting garments in the spotlight obviously bring anxiety to some of you.

Discussing sacred clothing, no matter where it is worn, is not something most people are comfortable with.

You give me a chuckle too. When do the missionaries talk about Christ being the first heir, and his brother Lucifer being the second?

Hi Jaybear... How are you this morning? It's a beautiful fall, but crisp, morning here on the western edge of the continental U.S.

I was more referring to your reference to the Plan of Salvation... that was you, wasn't it? And, I'm sure in the part about the pre-mortal life the Jesus/Lucifer/all spirit children of God would come up... At least it did when I was a Stake Mish a number of years ago...

Have a good day... I'm on my way out to take a walk on the beach... can't let this beautiful morning pass...

I am well. Thank you for asking. No that was not me. I was referring, more specifically, to this relationship between Jesus and Lucifer, as the eldest and second eldest spirit children of God, similar I suppose to Adam's oldest mortal sons, Cain and Able.

I don't agree. I can't imagine a nun having any discomfort with a question about the habit, or a jew about the yamika, or a muslim about a headscarf.

Of course, we do not believe that Cain was the eldest, nor that Abel was the second (although he may have been the subsequent) son.

1 And it came to pass that after I, the Lord God, had driven them out, that Adam began to till the earth, and to have dominion over all the beasts of the field, and to eat his bread by the sweat of his brow, as I the Lord had commanded him. And Eve, also, his wife, did labor with him.

2 And Adam knew his wife, and she bare unto him sons and daughters, and they began to multiply and to replenish the earth. 3 And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide two and two in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks, and they also begat sons and daughters.

...

16 And Adam and Eve, his wife, ceased not to call upon God. And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bare Cain, and said: I have gotten a man from the Lord; wherefore he may not reject his words. But behold, Cain hearkened not, saying: Who is the Lord that I should know him?

17 And she again conceived and bare his brother Abel. And Abel hearkened unto the voice of the Lord. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Notice that Abel was not conceived until after Cain was old enough (at least eight years) to knowingly reject the Lord.

The Cain and Abel account is important, not because they were #1 and #2, but because of the Secret Combination Satan established with Cain and his descendants, and the murder Cain undertook at Satan's urging.

Jaybear:

Sally Fields(The Flying Nun) withstanding I seriously doubt a Nun would take kindly to you calling her Habit magical. She'd probably bring out her magical ruler and whack your knuckles with it. Just as I seriously doubt an observant Jew would appreciate you refering to his Yamika as magical, and Muslim wouldn't take kindly to you refering to her headscarf as magical.

The only thing that causes me any sort of anxiety is when people bear false witness of people and things, be it the Church or otherwise such as in politics.

Like I said earlier - it depends on what you ask and how you ask it.

Having been among the Amish I know they are not terribly comfortable talking about themselves with strangers, especially if they see mockery coming.
