Seminary journal doctrine and covenants section 63
In this section Joseph Smith has returned to Kirtland Ohio from Missouri. He in the brother are getting revelation for different aspects of the church.
We talked about seeking signs and why it is problematic to seek for a sign to develop faith. We learned that first faith and testimony have to be developed and then God gives signs to those who believe. However, signs do not come before belief and testimony. Also we talked about lust and adultery and how important it is to stay away from fornication or things that develop or cultivate sexual desire in us before we are married, and then only appropriately experienced in the context of marriage with our spouses.
Questions:
Can Satan give signs? Can those signs be of good things or seemingly good things? Why is that problematic?
why would Satan give a good sign?
Why is it important for us to understand that we must develop faith and testimony and focus on that instead of focusing on receiving a sign?
What is lust?
Why does lust lead to sin?
What is sexual passion? Why is sexual passion sinful, or potentially sinful, outside of the bounds of marriage?
What is fornication? What is adultery? What is the difference?
Why is pornography so detrimental to our spirits? How is pornography related to lust fornication and adultery?
