I Hope Everyone Took the Time to Watch General Conference Readers,
I am privileged as a Latter- Day Saint to listen to General Conference every six months. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints meets twice a year to hear from the leadership of the church, specific revealed guidance God has for us now. All the world can and should tune in to this broadcast; there is so much there that is good and right that everyone needs to hear. In the spirit of a special spiritual event, today's Super Sunday Commentary will also be out of the ordinary.
D&C 100: 17 - And all that call upon the name of the Lord, and keep his commandments, shall be saved. Even so. Amen.
Acts 2:21 - And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Matt 2:13 - But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
3 Nephi 11:33 - And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.
In just these four examples, we see four different things we must do to be saved in three different books of scripture. Two differing requirements are in the New Testament alone. How could anyone believe that the entire mortal requirement for salvation could be conveyed in a single verse, when there are literally hundreds of pages of scripture given to us to live by? How could anyone ignore all but one scripture on any given topic and think that they've captured all they need to do? Being so shortsighted is very dangerous to our understanding.
