At least that is my understanding. <br /><br />For this I have found the Mormon 'restoration' of Christianity (i.e. the different metaphysics, the emphasis on family as the primary 'metaphor'; and additions and clarifications of that Christian doctrine we got from the time of the Apostles and the Bible) and then Wm. Arkle to be vital in my understanding. Plus, of course, a lot of personal reflection such that I (re-)discovered them for-myself, which is the single vital necessity; rather than accepting them for some other reason. <br /><br />Others would probably need to re-discover this in their own way, from other stimuli.
