Y "Wherefore, Settle This in Your Hearts" Y
Elder Larry W. Gibbons
October General Conference 2006
" In a talk at BYU in 1994, Rabbi Harold S. Kushner said' I'm a traditional Jew, and I observe the biblical dietary laws.......I suspect most of you assume I go around all day saying to myself, 'Boy, would I love to eat pork chops, but that mean old God won't let me.' Not so. the fact...... is, I go around all day saying, 'Isn't it incredible? There are five billion people on this planet and God cares what I have for lunch [and] what kind of language I use'
......I am not diminished by being told there are certain things I may not do because they are wrong. Rather, it enhances me."
