Book of Mormon [ALMA 13-16] Insights with Maria Eckersley

Thank you, Sister Eckersley. I run, too. I completely understand your analogy!

Loved this episode! Great thoughts! Thank you!❤

A very interesting message. Most of the time people discuss peace and comfort in church. I don't recall the last time I've heard someone unveiling the topic of rest. Though, I think that one of the remarks was misleading. About the society that hasn't believed in consequences for their doings. I don't know if they have used that belief to justify the reason for their behavior. I remember in college for one of the classes we have studied a use case of two Asian countries. One has used a death sentence as penalty and another hasn't. And there was no evidence suggesting that presence or absence of death penalty was affecting the number of crimes. And from religious perspective, I currently live in a country where the total population of people who belong to religious organizations is very very small. Nevertheless, the society doesn't have inclinations towards violence or anything like that. The reason I commented was because I find sometimes uncomfortable to hear on Sunday School that some teachers draw a line between members and non-members. Suggesting that if people are not in church they develop bad habits and bad behaviors. I have met many people who were raised in good families, and who grew up in healthy communities. They are capable of showing a great amount of respect, support, and sacrifice. And they know how to control themselves in various situations. I don't know if the belief in the afterlife or eternal consequences determine someone's behavior. Just saying. But I'm open to hear new ideas and observations.

I just watched a video from 7 years ago. man you got old. me too.
