I do not understand why it is okay to wear Masonic symbols on one's underwear, but not okay to wear a cross around one's neck. The Lord our God is one Lord, and He does not share His glory. Neither I nor anyone one else will ever achieve godhead. To aspire to do so is blasphemy. Our purpose in being here is to learn to know God, to trust God, and to love God with all our heart, might, mind, and soul.
Man is, by nature, sinful.
Jesus Christ who was totally God and totally man came down to sacrifice Himself on the cross for our sins. When God spoke through Jesus Christ, He said everything that needed to be said. We are saved only through the grace of God. We can do nothing on our own. We are not to depend on Joseph Smith, our good works, a church organisation, a living prophet, or anyone else for our salvation.
