Well, I've put all my eggs in one basket in the which the scriptures are true. However, it seems that symbolism plays a major part in the stories told of the Bible which could make what we think is reality as something totally different. I don't know John. I just try to believe. I try to have faith but I don't have any interest in trying to be perfect in this life. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and have felt the awesome power of the Holy Ghost tell me it's true. I believe in Joseph Smith just as much as I believe in Christ. To me, Jesus is no more the Savior than Joseph is a prophet and they both are equally true. Take one away and they both collapse together. The scriptures on the other hand are open to continuous interpretation because they have many abstract concepts that need further explaining. I'll be very upset to learn that the earth was not universally flooded as I believed or that the 6,000 year plan was not so. I don't like believing in untruths. I want the truth and nothing but the truth.
