Day One Entry: Dec 11, 2014

Seminary journal doctrine and covenants 58 and 59

Today we started off class talking about how we need to use our own judgment in agency to do things to help others. God says not to have to be commanded in all things. I showed a video operation underground freedom about a group who goE&S out on it's own, and helps free children from sex slavery. it was an impact full video of an organization striving to not have to be commanded in all things.
We also talked about if we obey the Lord we are insured of the promises. However, if we don't keep our covenants and promises, we have no assurance from God. We talked about how this impacted soul when he did not keep the commandments to kill the Amalekites. Finally we discussed keeping the Sabbath day holy. God has counseled that we perform or sacraments and oblations on the Sabbathday. We discussed what oblations means.

Questions:

Why does God say that we should not have to be commanded in all things?
What does that tell us about how God views are use of our agency?
Why is it important to be obedient to the commandments?
How does the Lord view obedience?
How does the Lord you disobedience?
What does it mean to keep the Sabbath day holy? What are oblations?
Why does God not give us a laundry list of what is allowed and what is not allowed?
What are the blessings that come from keeping the Sabbath day holy as outlined in doctrine and covenants section 59?
