“As If Ye Were Supported by the Hand of a God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

As if ye were supported by the hand of a god. This condescending remark epitomizes the skeptic: he or she is eager to provide alternative explanations for what the faithful believe to be divine intervention.

“One thing is for sure: the skeptic will never know, for he will not meet the requirement of faith, humility, and obedience to qualify him for the visitation of the Spirit” (Boyd K. Packer, “That All May Be Edified,” p. 340).
