New cards

Reasons for abortion

  2. A competent physician determines that the life or health of the mother is in serious jeopardy

  3. a competent physician determines that the fetus has severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth

New cards

Nearly all legislation pertaining to abortion considers the duration of gestation. The human mind has presumed to determine when “meaningful life” begins. In the course of my studies as a medical doctor, I learned that a new life begins when two special cells unite to become one cell, bringing together 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother. These chromosomes contain thousands of genes. In a marvelous process involving a combination of genetic coding by which all the basic human characteristics of the unborn person are established, a new DNA complex is formed. A continuum of growth results in a new human being. Approximately 22 days after the two cells have united, a little heart begins to beat. At 26 days the circulation of blood begins. To legislate when a developing life is considered “meaningful” is presumptive and quite arbitrary, in my opinion.

The amount of children-and-parent time absorbed in the good activities of private lessons, team sports, and other school and club activities also needs to be carefully regulated. Otherwise, children will be overscheduled, and parents will be frazzled and frustrated. Parents should act to preserve time for family prayer, family scripture study, family home evening, and the other precious togetherness and individual one-on-one time that binds a family together and fixes children’s values on things of eternal worth.

Dallin H. Oaks - what children really want for dinner is YOU, time with you

Five questions in Marriage

1. When was the last time I sincerely praised my companion, either alone or in the presence of our children?

2. When was the last time I thanked, expressed love for, or earnestly pleaded in faith for him or her in prayer?

3.When was the last time I stopped myself from saying something I knew could be hurtful?

4. When was the last time I apologized and humbly asked for forgiveness--without adding the words “but if only you had” or “but if only you hadn’t”?

5. When was the last time I chose to be happy rather than demanding to be “right”?

Certainly the overarching and undergirding principle is that the discipline of children must be motivated more by love than by punishment.

James E. Faunt - Their level of affection and their level of expectation

PRINCIPLES OF PROVIDENT LIVING

1. Husbands and wives should counsel together and use family councils to make financial decisions.

2. The foundation of provident living is the law of the tithe.

4. Establish a family budget and involve children.

Robert D. Hales

The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums

Ezra Taft Benson

Behold, I gave unto him that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal, neither carnal nor sensual.

“The proclamation on the family has become our benchmark for judging the philosophies of the world, and I testify that the principles set forth within this statement are as true today as they were when they were given to us by a prophet of God nearly 20 years ago.”

"There are three principles taught in the proclamation which I think are especially in need of 'steadfast defenders'"

You may not be experiencing  exactly what the proclamation describes, but it is the Lord’s pattern and we should strive to realize it best we can.”

The Church does NOT

  • Endorse, promote or oppose political parties, candidates or platforms.

  • Allow its church buildings, membership lists or other resources to be used for partisan political purposes.

  • Attempt to direct its members as to which candidate or party they should give their votes to. This policy applies whether or not a candidate for office is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

  • Attempt to direct or dictate to a government leader.

New cards
34

The Church DOES

  • Encourage its members to play a role as responsible citizens in their communities, including becoming informed about issues and voting in elections.

  • Expect its members to engage in the political process in an informed and civil manner, respecting the fact that members of the Church come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences and may have differences of opinion in partisan political matters.

  • Request candidates for office not to imply that their candidacy or platforms are endorsed by the Church.

  • Reserve the right as an institution to address, in a nonpartisan way, issues that it believes have significant community or moral consequences or that directly affect the interests of the Church.

Church members should support laws that uphold their beliefs, but also be sensitive to the views of minorities.

New cards
35

For persons who believe in absolute truth, tolerance for behavior is like a two-sided coin. Tolerance, or respect, is on one side of the coin, but truth is always on the other. You cannot possess or use the coin of tolerance without being conscious of both sides."

Dallin H. Oaks

New cards
36

Be selective and wise

When believers in Jesus Christ take their views of truth into the public square, they must seek the inspiration of the Lord to be selective and wise in choosing which true principles they seek to promote by law or executive action. they should refrain from seeking laws or administrative action to facilitate beliefs that are distinctive to believers.

New cards
37

RELIABLE SOURCES FOR DOCTRINE

1. Current, correlated publications. 

2. Cumulative teachings of current General Authorities and Officers of the Church.

3.  The United Voice of the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles.

4. Harmonized doctrines in the Scriptural Canon.

5. The doctrine of Christ.

New cards
38

CRITERIA FOR MEASURING DOCTRINE

1. Is it an eternal principle?

2. Does it represent the united voice of the First Presidency and the Twelve Apostles?

3. Is it essential to our salvation?

New cards
39

[W]e have felt to warn and forewarn. In furtherance of this we of the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles now issue a proclamation to the Church and to the world as a declaration and reaffirmation of standards, doctrines, and practices relative to the family which the prophets, seers, and revelators of this church have repeatedly stated throughout its history.

MALACHI’S PROPHECY - Malachi 4:5-6

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

“We of all people, brothers and sisters, should not be taken in by the specious arguments that the family unit is somehow tied to a particular phase of development a moral society is going through. We are free to resist those moves which downplay the significance of the family and which play up the significance of selfish individualism. We know the family to be eternal.”

Spencer W. Kimball

New cards
44

“The family is not an accident of mortality. It existed as an organizational unit in the heavens before the world was formed; historically, it started on earth with Adam and Eve, as recorded in Genesis. Adam and Eve were married and sealed for time and all eternity by the Lord, and as a result their family will exist eternally."

Robert D. Hales

New cards
45

REQUIREMENTS FOR FAITH UNTO LIFE AND SALVATION

First, the idea that he actually exists. 

Secondly, a correct idea of his character, perfections, and attributes.

Thirdly, an actual knowledge that the course of life which he is pursuing is according to his will.

“The perfect revelation of God came in the meridian of time… [when] he sent his Son into the world so that all men, seeing the Son, could envision perfectly who and what the Father is. The four Gospels contain the most comprehensive revelation of God the Father of any scriptures because they show forth what kind of a being the Son is, and men knowing the Son thereby know the Father.”

Elder Bruce R. McCokie

 "The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it."

WHAT IS THE ATONEMENT?

1. The Garden of Gethsemane

2. The Cross of Calvary

3. The Ministry in the Spirit World

4. The Resurrection

New cards
49

This infinite Atonement of Christ was possible because (1) He was the only sinless man ever to live on this earth and therefore was not subject to the spiritual death resulting from sin, (2) He was the Only Begotten of the Father and therefore possessed the attributes of godhood that gave Him power over physical death, and (3) He was apparently the only one sufficiently humble and willing in the premortal council to be foreordained to that service.

Jeffery R. Holland

New cards
50

Some gifts coming from the Atonement are universal, infinite, and unconditional. These include His ransom for Adam’s original transgression so that no member of the human family is held responsible for that sin. Another universal gift is the Resurrection from the dead of every man, woman, and child who lives, has ever lived, or ever will live on earth.

Jeffery R. Holland

New cards
51

Helaman 14:15

For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord.

New cards
52

THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS OF THE ATONEMENT

1. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

2. There is power in the Atonement to enable us to overcome the natural man or woman and become true disciples of Jesus Christ.

3. The Atonement is the greatest evidence we have of the Father's love for His children.
