I will jus...Way to take on the tough issues Scott. I will just say Parker is on very shaky ground to critic a servant of God. She has the pleasure of defining his meaning for him. She also speaks completely void of any understanding of the plan of salvation and our fallen sate. If she was as pure as Elder Callister she too would abhor sin. And lastly if your sophistries are not subject to your humility then you to will find a way to weaken the word of God to a point where it doesn't apply to you or you think your doing enough because you know better for you. Is not the body its our spirit we also abuse every time we sin. How then can Parker be redeemed if she does not accept the fall and our fallen state which denotes standards we are short of. For Parker acceptance of the mortal condition is to embrace our nature, that becomes the transformation not the change of heart.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181574542406812206noreply@blogger.com
