Understanding the Importance of Good Thinking

It is crucial to develop the skill of good thinking when examining and analyzing historical events and present circumstances. Good thinking involves understanding the limitations and complexities of analogies, avoiding binary thinking, and acknowledging the diversity of experiences and perspectives. Predicting the future based on historical events is unreliable and should be approached with caution. An analogy between the Church's past restriction on black individuals and its current policy on LGBTQ+ members falls short when looking at the specific context, timing, and teachings. It is important to focus on personal experiences with God, developing a relationship with Him, and seeking guidance through the Spirit. Testimony is rooted in personal revelations and interactions with the divine.
