Last week in one of my institute classes the teacher did something different or changed the way he teaches completely by not using his power point and starting class by asking a question. The question he asked was what ONE doctrine do you think is the most important to you in our church? I seriously thought about the question and my answer was Revelation. Other answers ranged from Prophets, Green Jello, the Godhead, the Priesthood, the Atonement, etc...
Then the teacher took an unexpected turn and made us vote on only one. Most voted for their original answer. Then he asked how many of these things were actual doctrine on the day the church was organized in 1830. We narrowed the list down to only two things...The Priesthood and Revelation.
Think about it...would you have had enough faith to join the church in the early days before certain doctrines were established. I like to think I would have because of revelation and feeling the spirit of truth. Just a thought.
