Anything surprising in this list of those who will suffer for their own sins, and then
inherit Telestial Glory?
103 These are they who are liars, and
sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a
lie.
Doctrine & Covenants
76:103
Note
that those who do those things, and remain unrepentant, will suffer for their
own sins in Hell, and then be delivered up to Telestial Glory (see D&C
76:105-106). Were you surprised that
dishonesty got mentioned twice? Does that make dishonesty worse than you
thought it might be? Many wonder what a “whoremonger”
is. It is those involved in sexual
perversions such as prostitution; so sexuality outside of the bonds of husband
and wife is mentioned twice also. One definition of a sorcerer is someone who
is involved in activities that invite evil spirits.
So
we should all take a moment and consider how we are doing in those three
areas. How honest are you? How could you
become even more honest? Are all sexual thoughts and feeling committed to only your
spouse? Do you maintain your defenses in those areas? Are there books, movies
or music you participate in that invite an evil spirit in your home?
Today’s Takeaway:
Evaluate the questions above and decide at least one thing you can do to be
less Telestial, and more Celestial.
