Now, you might go ballistic on this one, but JS claimed theophanies, most subsequent prophets have not.

It's not as though there isn't a plethora of doctrine, scripture, and sermons on how revelation works.

Everything is so vague and general. I know them relatively well, and find them nonspecific. I would like President Monson to explain every detail of his deliberation process. That would be of interest and I might learn something instead of vague generalities.

You have every right to demand an explanation from the Lord just as Nephi did in regards to Lehi's vision of the tree of life. However, you do not have a right to demand such from President Monson.

Some things are best learned by experience.

I don't demand it, I wish for it. Precatory, not mandatory.

I will never be prophet, but I have held lesser leadership positions.
This is your axiom, not necessarily a truth, and certainly only relative to context. Link?

While it was disappointing that my mission president, Carlos Amado, was not called even though he has served as a member Q of 70 for 20+ years, I just don’t see the institutional racism you see within the church. I am a Mexican American (not by name only, but, I actually look the part) who lives in the Pacific NW and most often than not, I am the only one in my meetings who people may consider a “minority”. I don’t recall an occasion when I experienced the “institutional racism” you believe exists. |
