Truth Seekers Wanted

"...and study and learn, and become acquainted with all good books, and with languages, tongues, and people." - D&C 90:15

Truth Seeking Orientation:

1) Discern using tools/principles (use your discernment filter to filter out what is true from what is not).

2) Does this align with what God has repeatedly done in the past? Does this match His character?

3) Is this consistent and steady over time?

4) Does it lead closer to Christ? Enlighten? Lead to do good?

Beliefs:

Truth is scattered among all people, all nations, and throughout all centuries.
Sources can contain truth and error so it is important to always use a discernment filter with anything we read or listen to.
Truth can be collected and brought together into one great whole.
Truth is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore truth isn't created but rediscovered or restored to people who have lost it.
All people have bias. The only way to overcome bias is to study things from all angles and perspectives. Then look for repeated patterns.
Truth resonates in the soul/spirit.
Some truths are more relevant to our spiritual journey than others. This is why discernment is important. For example, what type of shirt Jospeh Smith wore on a particular day is far less relevant than knowing what kind of man he was on a day to day basis.
