When we try to order the whole documentation, to prioritize the thoughts, and to offer enough clarity to expose them, feelings that hinder the work of overturning to the paper what we have in mind arise.
To say that tremble our hands, or that we lack forces and determination to make it, it would not be correct; but something moves inside our feelings and thoughts making very heavy the task that we intend. Something inside us tries to stop.
One being's part opposes and fears to that our soul is being too exposed.
We don't want to be subjected to the fatuous look, inexpressive and without chastity of who, not having anything intelligent to say, and from their state of ignorance of the things, they underestimate and they mistreat the truth, without being given the opportunity, neither to be allowed to themselves to be wise to be able to see. They remove to the other ones the privilege that themselves refuses.
In other words, we have fear of the nonsense, of the ignorance, of the prejudices, of the superstitions, of the dogmas, of the unconscious customs, of the lack of common sense, of the stupidity, of the poor prides that we show as glorious trophies of the nothingness, of so much human misery that doesn't want to give way, neither us to her.
We have fear that so much garbage in our mind, doesn't allow us to think, or to act with good sense, and open up our mouth before we can order to our hearings that listen sincerely, and to our eyes that you/they look at all that is necessary to see.
We have fear, that when not being understood, for our weakness when expressing us, and that by reason of our imperfection they are judged the things that we analyze from now as incorrectly.
We have the fear, that the clear things, be too clear for the eye
accustomed to the shortage of light; and because of this, be rejected vital
information lightly, valuable for the life.
But on the other hand, from the best thing of our senses, and ally to the powerful reasons that the understanding of these things offers us, the forces that impel us to advance arise.
With the hope, that all this served, so alone to a free spirit, it is already enough so that we don't stop in anything and if we are allowed, it is to that free spirit, to who goes directed this whole work. For him it is worth the effort and then we should advance.
For that said, we speak the men that feel to themselves, or want to be Free. With those that understand that the Spirit of God is the Spirit of Freedom we Go he/she is necessary to communicate with those of without prejudices", with those of willing mind", with those of desirous souls of understanding", with the thirsty ones and with the hungry ones.
Alma 61.
15. ... ..según the Spirit of God that is also the Spirit of Freedom that it is in them.
If some is considered itself satiate, without
necessity of understanding nothing else, and with the enough understanding
of all the things, anything of value goes he/she is necessary to find here;
we tell to that man that this is not for him that doesn't lose their time,
because anything of this will take advantage of him.
Much is what has been said; and from these emergent voices it has been listened with unmistakable clarity, the declarations of fearless and disrespectful, of illuminated and of saviors, of revolutionaries and of uncompromising, of having pursued and of having mistreated, of having hurt and of tired, and of all those that suffered griefs and penuries to try to understand for some reason and of coming closer to the truth of the facts and of their reasons.
To them that somehow have tried of clarifying
our vision, to notice us of the dangers that certainly threaten us, and
that offered their life, it is in life or in death; that were hurt, mutilated,
tortured psychological and physically yes, but that they were also murdered
as its teacher; and that if they dared to survive all this, then the essence
of its message was deformed for the I paw political and mercantilist of
irreverent pupils that never ended up understanding what you/they should
understand. And that this way they ended up being more unknown than listened,
and receiving finally more scorn that honors on behalf of ourselves. To
them our homage goes.
Let us to highlight that much of this work doesn't arrive happily to the hearts of those for who the effort of these men was dedicated, because probably in some of the cases errors, and these were made, they caused that what was wanted to denounce doesn't arrive to be exposed in all its clarity.
Because maybe we have spoken from the incorrect position, we have spoken as if it was from away from the church", from the square", or from what the Jews denominated patio of the Heathens." The vision that was is the: of the disobedient one, of the rebel, of the displeased one, of the Protestant, of the apostate, of which doesn't belong to the house neither the fraternity", but rather it fights from out and it doesn't solve from inside, of which criticizes without understanding because it doesn't possess the " authority "
This partly, didn't allow him to be done with clarity the different made accusations.
Regrettably and because of this, many of these accusations didn't undress the root of the problem, the bottom of the matter in view of those who should see, but rather alone you them toward manifesto the apparent question, the consequences and you don't cause them of bottom. Others loaded of subjectivity the stories, offering a partial and restricted point of view of the necessary depth to eradicate the problem.
We mean in other words that maybe have spoken as laymen, from a position where our " authority " was always questioned.
We have not spoken as official but as civil, not
even as soldiers of an I exercise, without understanding in the matters
of the war, deprived of all " authority ". At least seen this way, for
those that yes they are considered official of this supposition I exercise,
and for ourselves that we have been convinced, and we gave to this point
of view. We were called disparagingly lay, " members ", " parishioners
".
We have stopped to perceive that the one exercises we are ourselves that if we are the citizens, then this I exercise it belongs us, it is to our service, we integrate it, we maintain it, in consequence it is of all us, and not of a reduced group of official; who should lend us an useful service, protecting us, becoming trained and helping us to understand all the relative one to this supposed war; their work would be to train in the handling of the best weapons in order to be so good soldiers as them they should be and to endow us of all necessary knowledge to face the enemy successfully. As all fair and honest professional, alone the suitable and very capable would take these serious responsibilities, making to a side all desire of lucre and it honors, guided alone for the desire of being truly useful to the common cause, and in any way to want or to seek to be served, but serving.
Certain it is that we have been taught the thing, in way a different point. We can see that we have been directed more to go away that to come closer to the understanding of the problem.
They have convinced us that in definitive all this was not for us; that alone those that arrive to the officialdom can understand and to dominate the mysteries of the war; and that if we maintain them and we give them of eating the war then they will liberate it for us; and we will be this way finally salvos of this war."
According to they come it these officials, their
authority is what allows them to consent to the knowledge; and without
this special permission of God to be able to understand, the knowledge
for the simple one civil not alone it is an unreachable mystery for its
depth, but also and as for us, the a lot or little understanding that we
could reach of these matters, doesn't concern us, neither it confers us
authority some, not even to say.
This is maybe the reason, for which we have abandoned
almost the topic; and I eat consequence of this, we don't have in hand
any definitive solution to solve this. Worse still, it no longer interests
us and we don't have any desire to enter in fellow man work, and much less
to have some hope of finding something of understanding and clarity to
act correctly.
We could also say, taking another point of view that this corruption acts, as that somebody was distracting our attention, protecting this way the thief that unpunishedly moves inside our own house.
Convincing us that the house belongs to them, of the thieves and not our, and that we were not entitled to ask on its movements, in our own house.
But our dear officialdom, our dear leaders and shepherds who receiving their wage on time every month and every time that required it, far from protecting us, to notice us, and to become trained of this pillage, themselves in their majority protects the thieves and they finish becoming partly of the band.
They have been and they are those that leave our
empty house, yes of all useful thing, except of more thieves, to those
that invite unceasingly to participate of the spoil; and to what we consent,
supporting them with our obliging indifference and the complicity of our
silence.
We believe that would help us a lot, to try to see the things, as experienced civilians that we are, but adding to our point of view, that of the official that we should and we can be.
In other words, we propose that we analyze some fundamental questions of the Christianity, from inside the same Christianity. From the domain of their doctrine, trying to undress their dogmas and mysteries; from their experience, and their current practices, from the knowledge, yes, from that understanding that so strongly has been denied, first because of these scamps, and then for our own negligence.
We will see that this is not so difficult of getting, as them they teach.
We will see that if this beautiful head is used, (that the creator prepared on our shoulders, so that this in the man's higher part and near to the sky, still up of the heart), in no way they will fall rays of the sky condemning us, neither the devil will come to take us to have dared to interfere in the sacred matters.
We will see that the will of God is revealed through
the mind and of the heart. One cannot replace to the other one. if one
of both lacks the revelation it is incomplete. That feeling should support
and to accompany to the understanding, and in any way to only keep a solitary
and isolated feeling without understanding.
We won't take care in the ways to describe the facts, but rather
we will call to the things for their name. The prophet Joseph
said:
| "I prefer the man that insults almost unceasingly, more and however it tries with justice to their neighbors, and mercifully he shares their substance with the poor that a hypocrite of sad semblance." (Teachings of the Prophet, pag 370) |
So that we notices
to those that are sensitive to the strong words that we won't limit the
language like they make it those that in their sermons and you preach,
they take care of elevating the voice to denounce the injustices of the
powerful ones of the earth, but they don't scant violence to utter threats
of hells envelopes the smokers and addicted, and then neither they blush
in the face of the injustices perpetrated on the poor, orphans, widows
and needful for the capitalist and feudal system that themselves sustains.
No will neither play the habitual topics that so slick use the ruling religious reeds, to get its bread of every day. We will focus the attention in simple truths of the Christianity, in some things that we have given for obvious, and that exactly this obviedad is what didn't allow to understand each other; and in other cases the disuse, the time, and the subtle cunning of the priests, they were leaving them little by little outside of the I classify newspaper.
Or that in the best in the cases when they were, the lack of data, the lack of experience, the inconstancy, or the persecution ruined the good and sincere intents of some men that reached to glimpse the real treasure, of which we are wanted to rob.
As Jesus Christ said, we are in the presence of a treasure, and we don't perceive it as such.
Because there are many interested in the whole sense of the word, of making us to the side, not because the treasure doesn't reach for all, but because these roguish thieves don't want another thing that to continue stealing and to continue being maintained."
Of the treasure they almost know anything, neither news, neither they believe it, neither they wait for it. Their deep incredulity is manifested exactly in that change the search of the treasure, for temporary earnings, be money that is to say it honors of the men. With anyone of two o'clock they are satisfied fully and they are given for very paid, because concretely that of the treasure is to sell, it doesn't stop own consumption.
Said the Lord speaking of these irresponsible ones:
Mat. 23.
13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you close the Kingdom of the Skies before the men; for ye neither you enter, neither you allow to enter to those that are entering
In our hands is the solution and we will see,
if
so alone we want to see.
1 PE. 4
11. If some speaks, speak according
to the Words of God.
In consequence, it is premise of this accusation, to demonstrate each point of a list of corruptions, mainly and insofar as possible with writings, and the comments if they are necessary, to make them brief.
Still when in each topic, we expose comments or simple touches of attention, the most important thing is that he/she has enough references of writings to demonstrate the points in question, still when you cannot expose the entirety of the available reference, for obvious space reasons.
They are enough the examples that we use, to supplement
the studies that each one can carry out; what we try to offer is a point
of view that we had not kept in mind and that every time it was discarded
that intended, without being able to understand appropriately that they
exist the testimonies that next will see.
They are not neither the decisions neither man's
interpretations some is apostles Prophets, teachers, shepherds, show the
title that you/they show it is the same thing. If what we read doesn't
credit the divine origin neither it agrees with the rest of the other writings
and neither he/she responds neither it fits in the Great Doctrine of all
the Books of Writing it will simply be man's word and it won't be taken
into account to judge the truthfulness or lie of anything.
| "We must to make sure up to where it is we possible that the home of our members has a copy of the Book of Mormon of the Bible, of Doctrines and Agreements and of the Pearl of Great Price. We have that somehow to see that they have so beautiful texts, but not of speeches and lessons on the scriptures, but of the same scriptures of which they can read and to study" (of a speech pronounced by the Pte. Harold B. Lee for the Sunday Esc in the Conference of October of 1973) |
For those that are said be fervent and devote
of the alive prophets and they rip their dresses to sustain them as the
only authorized source, and they are declared to themselves faithful followers
and lovers of their doctrines, next we mention some words of the Pte of
the Church Harold B. Lee:
| I
say that we need to teach to our people to look for their answers in the
Scriptures
If so alone each one of us would be the sufficiently wise to say that: - We cannot give answer to any question unless we can find the doctrinal answer in the Scriptures -! And if ends up finding somebody that teaches something that is contrary to what is in the Scriptures, all we could know that the things that he/she speaks are false; it is that simple. Plus the unfortunate of the case is that many of us are not reading the Scriptures, We ignore what there are in them and consequently we speculate as for the things that we should have found in the same Writings. " I believe that in this one of our biggest today dangers lies in day." ("Buscad las respuestas en las Escrituras". Liahona (Ensign), Dic. 1973, pag 3) |
