Starting Sunday night the Gospel Principles list will start over at the
beginning of the Gospel Principles Manual. Please tell everyone you know
to sign up.

mailto:Gospel_Principles-subscribe@yahoogroups.com


I conduct a Gospel Principles lesson (read only), LDS perspective each
week. I take a chapter from the Gospel Principles manual (a highly
recommended, must have book) and break it up into concepts. Depending on
how long the chapter is, determines how many messages there will be. It
can run 3-10 concepts in a week, but usually is 5 or 6, one sent per day,
some days none if the chapter is short. I add referenced scriptures and
do a comments and resources post at the beginning of each week, so you do
get more than if you were just reading the Gospel Principles manual. If
you'd like to start receiving the lessons click the link

Gospel Princples Comments and Resources

        All the files are up in full HTML format now and I found a couple of missing MGSP (missionary gospel study program) files that were missing, most importantly the one on Apostasy and curtosey.  In a few weeks I will reach the end of the lessons and be starting over.  Please invite  everyone you know to join the list, unless they are all gospel scholars I'm sure they could learn something they never knew or have forgotten over the years.  Study and pray and I'm sure you will learn from and grow spiritually from being a member.

     I was searching for something last night and searched for the term "apostasy" and came up with a lot of hits I checked a few of the more interesting pages that weren't definitions of the word.  It seems there are a lot of people who think the "christian church" is at least in some places going though an apostasy.

    The CARM page Apostasy in the Christian Church Says we should be looking for the apostasy to occur before the second coming, I agree with that so far. He has a list of what he considers importing features in the Christian Church. Under "Secondary Non-Essentials" he lists baptism!!! Christ was baptised and since we are to follow his example I would have to say baptism is an essential to have in a true Christian church. On another page of CARM (Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry) called "What Kind of Christian are You?" they say being "born again' is an important part of being a Christian, isn't being baptised part of being born again?? There are a lot of other things they wrote I disagree with but that was one I just HAD to comment on.

Latter Rain - Apostasy  says "The apostasy has been progressive over time throughout history. It started in the first century and just got worse.
Paul knew that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. The Eastern and Western churches were part of this, In the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats.
The Protestant church was part of this as well in that they became legalistic, oppressive and exclusive, leading to spiritual pride, denominational bias and self-righteousness. But since then, things have gotten better, only again to get worse as we near the last of the last days and Satan puts us to the test. Some things get better, some get worse."

     I would agree there was an apostasy and is still on going in most places  the apostasy began when Christ left the left the apostles in charge of the church and they were eventually killed. Since the Eastern and Western Churches were part of the apostasy and the Protestant churches as well then how can they become non apostate?  The very name "Protestant" churches came about because they came from groups protesting the Roman Catholic Church's practices.

    One LDS page I found The Christian Apostasy on The Cumorah Project gives a very good over view of the apostasy and references.

     Of course you should see my page Which is the True Church? I cover the apostasy though bible scriptures and point out that before Christ's second coming his church must be restored to prepare the world for his second coming.

        

    I have completed the Gospel Principles Comments and Resources pages.  These are the pages I start each week's Gospel Principles lesson with which is taught from a chapter of the Gospel Principles Manual.  You can see them at:

    I need your help promoting the Plan of Salvation page. I NEED your links, there are many other religions pages competing for those key words and what I need most to compete with them is links from related pages so if you have an LDS website PLEASE link to salvation.scottsworld.info/theplans.htm, Please name the link some form of God's Plan of Salvation, God's Plan of Redemption, Plan of Salvation, Plan of Redemption.  Thank you!

        

http://scottsworld.info/gpc.htm Gospel Principles Comments and Resources index page

        This is a relatively new addition to my site, I have been getting a lot of requests from teachers of gospel principles/ gospel essentials classes for the comments and resources I use to teach my weekly Gospel Principles list. Some times I think half the list is other teachers.. You would think so by the few posts on the discussion list.  So I started putting up resources on my website.  First I put the text files up as zip files.
Download the Gospel Principles Weekly introduction commentary text files (zipped) Updated 3-22-08
Download the Gospel Principles Weekly Gospel Essentials Class text files (zipped) Updated 3-22-08   These are the files I used when I was a gospel Essentials teacher in the Alhambra ward.  You can learn more about the list by reading the Gospel Principles List FAQ.

        These are the html version of Comments and Resources files I start each week's gospel principles lesson with that I have finished so far. I will put the rest up as I complete each unit. I have just completed Unit 7 Perfecting Our Lives and have the first lesson of Unit 8 Family Salvation which was the lesson on my Gospel Principles list last week.  If you are on my gospel principles list you then know I have been posting them in HTML for the last year or so.  I had started  last year by adding the links for the scriptures from http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ to lessons but had not figured out how to save them that way. This time through I have been updating them and saving each lesson to html as I prepare each one to send to the list so I won't have to do it again in the future.  There are 47 chapters in the Gospel Principles manual and between 5-7 concepts per chapter so it is taking me a while to do it.  This is one of those do a little each day projects, not do it all at once.  Line upon line, precept by precept, day by day is how we should live and learn each day.
        Each week I take a chapter from the manual, start with a comments and Resources post I have created mostly from my missionary manuals which used the Gospel Principles manual and scriptures as the core of our study curriculum.
        As a missionary I studied for an hour every morning before we went out proselytizing. It was always amazing to me that when I stuck to the schedule for that week (it wasn't always easy, we read the all 4 standard works in a year) that sometime during the week I would be able to answer a question easily that if I had not been up on my studies I would probably would had problems answering.  By the time I went home I could have taught a lesson or given a talk on any basic gospel topic off the top of my head for the first few years.   I'm not that good any more, I hardly have time to spend an hour a week studying the gospel any more.  I have trouble reading one book of scripture in a year much less all 4 of them..

        Speaking of missionary resources I also put up COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER (some time last late last year) which was a small 3 page list of scriptures someone gave me as a missionary that I have found very use full. I have carried it in my bible between Revelations and the Topical guide since I was a missionary.

I put up a new page on the website called Come Now, Let Us Reason Together. It was a 3 page list of missionary scriptures I received from some one when I was a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I found it very helpful as a missionary and it still in is in my scriptures just before the Appendix over 20 years later. I spent all evening coding the page and linking the scriptures to LDS scriptures There is also a text file of the document which can be downloaded and printed in a small font and you too can have a copy. After all isn't sharing information what the web is about? At least my website is.<< MORE >>

Hello, welcome to Scott's new domain http://scottsworld.info/

I would have said new website, except it isn't so much, this domain will be bringing together my 3 personal websites, the main portion has been hosted for many years under my earthlink.net email account, the Woodward woodward.scottsworld.info/ was hosted at www.rootsweb.com free pages, it was so so and they started putting Ancestry ads when Ancestry took over rootsweb.

Last of all my weather station page is being hosted by on my cox.net email account. http://members.cox.net/dsscheibe/vws/  I've been having FTP issues with the hosting here at godaddy.com and unless I can get that resolved it will stay were it is for now. Virtual Weather Station has it's own FTP transfer for the data. I can only upload there every 10 minutes, I'd like to every 5 minutes. But I had trouble just uploading my home pages last night and had to redo some of it when I got home from work.

I've brought back a new version of my defunct LDS singles page which was home for my singles list. LDS Singles List it was hosted at a place that went out. http://ldssingles.scottsworld.info/

Also this is my new Blog, I have another blog at http://dsscheibe.blogspot.com/ which I've used a little, mostly to post my political diatribes for the last year. This is some what different from Blogger which is easier and free. I pay for this on top of my hosting and domain.
A quick introduction about me. I'm in my early 40's, I'm a conservative politically. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served a full time mission many years ago. I'm the family history person in my family and keep all the genealogy up. So those are the three main things you will find on my website. Well I need to get away from the computer and get some other stuff done tonight.

Scott
