Greetings jo1952
You are exactly right... It is interesting that you were brought into the Church through the Book of Mormon:) On a spiritual/physical dimension we are instructed that:
"Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw."
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:10 - 12)
And these two churches are innately within each on of us... the fruits we manifest and personify place us in one or the other. Is good to see you are having such a wonderful journey!
It is good to see you are having such a wonderful journey as well. I appreciate all that you share; it is edifying. Thank you!
Shalom,
