Man Is Not Alone

“It is not good for man to be alone.” As the primal parent of our race, Adam began life alone. Christ was also alone (Isaiah 53:2-3) and therefore following the example of our fathers, we are alone as well. Everyone is alone in their own way, Adam was alone in the expectation of another person, Christ alone because only He loves the other person perfectly, because He is the way by which we return to our Creator. We are alone because we push others from us. Adam alone in hope, Christ alone in the fullness of Godhood, and we are alone in evil and hopelessness. Adam’s isolation is the single creation segment decreed “not good” (Moses 3:18).Therefore God creates an helpmeet for Adam. He brings His only Begotten home to His presence to reign with His Father as King of kings and Lord of lords. And for us He has given His Only Begotten so that in our aloneness we can be at one again with the Gods. The Lord be thanked for the perfect Atonement wrought by the Perfect Son and Uniter of us all.

I read your posts as soon as you publish them, at least within 24 hours. I didn't know what to say, but I check for updates everyday and read what everybody has to say that is on my follow list (Besides Tiffany's, she post so much I sometimes skip the stuff she says about how great church was or awesome people from church). I still honestly don't know what to say here....thanks for the thought....?

I believe God gave man the woman because He knew that we weren't going to make it very long on our own. Even in priest's quorum we get very little accomplished. Good post Brother Skelton! Keep 'em coming!
