If any appear to err in this manner, the Lord may bless both them and us to be gifted "to rely wholly upon the merits of Him who is mighty to save," (2Ne.2:19-20), to trust alone in the Source of Every Good Thing. Moroni 6:4 and chapter 7. And he may not. These are thoughtful and gifted posts, opening us to His wisdom in humility. Surely we will see more and more of this until the mingled thoughts are purely separated from His precious Word and all can cease trusting in the flesh. --Tim At times the importance of such thought comes to my heart as the dividing between wheat and tares soon to begin; and the calamity spoken of in DC 1; that many will speak of their own imaginary righteousness before seeking to rejoice in the righteousness of the Lord (v.16) to “enable” as Ken mentions.

I ended up replacing it with "enable". I appreciate the subtle distinctions you are making... and the refocusing on who is actually doing the qualifying.
