(Full Notes)Thursday,April 23, 2020Soapparently we can sin ignorantly (see the angel’s words to King Benjamin andPresident Benson and who knows who else.). And the atonement of Christ coversfor it (“his blood atoneth for [their] sins”). What does that mean?  It means for one thing that a thing can bewrong to do whether we know it or not. The law exists independent of ourknowing it.  And it displeases Godwhether we know it or not. But since the atonement covers for it (if we don’trealize it, that is) because of the atonement of Christ we are not condemned.Not because we are not doing wrong, but because the atonement covers it. Doessin cause anxiety and depression?  Wellit’s a trap, right?  Look into me inevery thought, doubt not, fear not. Surely where anxiety is there faith is not,and where depression is there the spirit of power and of love and of a soundmind is not. How can we not be going against the will of God when we are inthese states?  Am I wrong somehow?  It is a trap, though. It is a temptation weare all subject to. God understands. And the atonement of Christ atoneth forour sins as long as we are trying and sinning in ignorance. But are thesethings not sin?  Do these things not gocontrary to the will of God?  And isn’tthat sin?  Am I going too far here,guys?  Maybe it’s unproductive to condemnourselves for sinning when we’re trying our best at least right now. But isn’tit technically sin to doubt and fear and not to look into God in everythought?  My thinking is that we sin allthe time without even trying and that’s just how life is, even the best ofus.  We can’t sit and think we don’t sin.We all do, all the time. We’re imperfect, and we’re just sinning all the time.Right?  In our thoughts, in our hearts,in our actions, in our inaction, and in our half-hearted action. We’d go crazyif we focused too much on how much we’re sinning. That’s what I think. But weare. Thank the heavens for Jesus Christ and his atonement. That’s all coveredfor, if we try, and Whenwe talk about sin we don’t necessarily talk about it that way, right?  We talk about it as if sin is a big bad thingand we’re going to hell if we do it. Well we all do it, all the time. God willbeat us with a few stripes, we may think, and at last we will be saved in thekingdom of God. No, if we sin it had better be in ignorance or else we can’t besaved in the kingdom of God, only on conditions of repentance. Soagain, do we sin when we struggle with anxiety or depression or whatever?  I can’t decide. I kind of think so, but it’signorant, but I don’t even know that. You can be in the midst of that stuff andsomebody can tell you or you can read, “look into me in every thought, doubtnot, fear not,” and still struggle even with your best efforts, right?  I don’t care, I’m going to try that. God willhelp me. And with His help and according to His will I can make it out of thistrap. Saturday,April 25, 2020Howabout the story - neither did this man sin nor his parents, that he was bornblind, but that the works of God should be made manifest… - or whatever. Ourchoices can have a role in that stuff, or they may not. And how do we know?  We don’t. Hmm. I ask for clarity on this all.Sunday,April 26, 2020Is aperson sinning who has Anxiety?  Well Iknow you can have anxiety or depression and be temple-worthy.Lookingat that question it seems silly. That’s not what it’s about, right?  Is that a “philosophical question”?  The question is framed wrong?  But it would have an answer, right?  Maybe that answer is maybe, maybe not. Hmmm!Ugh,this is hard!  But I bet an understandingof this will carry over to other things. Speakingof knowledge of other things carrying over - was reading in my book about howelectricity works. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could spell out how
