Understanding the Atonement - 7-22-09

Well, this week has been really fast, exciting, and frustrating, all at the same time.

Brandon is getting baptized this week, and Brent is working on getting baptized, in the next month (August), and that is all a work in progress.

We did have an interesting talk with a guy last week or so. He told us that we don't understand the atonement, and that we don't understand what grace is, and he told us that the ten commandments are just good ideas, and that we are all going to heaven by grace alone, and we don't need any works, and then got mad when we told him that he was wrong. He also told us that the gospel is not as simple as faith, getting baptized by proper authority, receiving the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. He said it needed to be more complex than that, and so we bore out testimony and left. It was a long conversation and we didn't get anywhere but wet. It rained a lot that day.

Love to everyone,
Elder Boy
