I don't know if I would consider proclaiming that playing cards are evil is a righteous judgment. Seems more like an arbitrary one.
Arbitrary
1) subject to individual will or judgment without restriction; contingent solely upon one's discretion
2.
decided by a judge or arbiter rather than by a law or statute. :
an arbitrary decision
3) having unlimited power; uncontrolled or unrestricted by law; despotic; tyrannical:
an arbitrary government.
4) capricious; unreasonable; unsupported:
an arbitrary demand for payment.
God is our righteous judge, according to scripture, and he's decided to pass judgement regarding Poker cards in the home, by speaking through his mouthpieces (Prophets and Apostles) on earth, and I listen to him (God) as he also whispers to my mind and heart concerning this and any other important matter which may affect my spirit in a very bad way, and since this teaching is also echoed by his Prophets and Apostles of the LDS church, then I know I'm a "normal" and but definitely not you average LDS member.
Becky claims I'm "not a normal" LDS member, which is absolutely true from her perspective and many many others..
If this teaching , concerning playing cards being evil, were my feelings alone
or coming from within me, which it's not, it's being taught directly to my spirit by the spirit of God/Holy Ghost, then why do four Prophets and one well known apostle back up what I've said here ???..
LDS churches are built without crosses on them, for a reason, since they represent a horrible torcher tool invented by man and inspired by Satan...
Why would any church want that on their roof ???
Same goes with poker cards, why would anyone want what's used in the gambling industry, in their homes, if they don't believe in gambling of any kind, which the LDS church has warned about, gambling in ALL it's forms..
I'm very normal when it comes to following the Prophets and Apostles of the LDS church....
Those who call me abnormal really don't subscribe to all the teachings of the church..
I've been married in the Salt Lake temple, the highest saving ordinance performed in holy LDS temples, which allows one to enter into the highest kingdom...
I served an LDS mission for two years, spent four years in the LDS seminary program in High School, spent years teaching the gospel in various settings, primary (children's organization), Young Mens (worked with Joseph Wirthlin Jr., the son of one of our current 12 Apostles, Joseph B. Wirthlin) and taught his grandson for several years until he went off to college) also taught in the Elders Quorum for many years.
Also seved with even the tiniest of tots, in the nursery, the most precious of all God's souls and served as secretary in the Elder's quorum for years, since I was about the only one who consistantly attended my meetings...
I've studied the four standard works of the LDS church, which includes the Bible, as far as it's translated correctly..
Challenge me on whatever subject...
So basically Becky has stated I'm "not normal"/abnormal for believing Poker cards should not be in the home, so basically she's also saying four Prophets and one very well known Apostles, Bruce R. McConkie are all "not normal"/abnormal, since they have voice my same opinion on this...
