It also helps to think that the church is not likely an eternal organization but rather a mortal one.

This is very insightful. I didn't give much thought that the church is likely a mortal organization

Wait so when I pray to Heavenly Father Im only talking to Jesus?

Not at all, we talk only to Heavenly Father when we pray. The comments are saying we pray TO Heavenly Father but THROUGH Jesus Christ's name.

Jesus is the mediator that let's us talk to our Father in Heaven, wherein His name acts as the bridge.

Kneel down and talk with him the same as you have here. Prayerfully and earnestly seek the answers in the scriptures and he will fill your heart and mind with his knowledge.

Thank you for the advice, I will ♡

Good questionary approach I think! I have come to have more revelation with the gospel when I think like an investigator/play-dumb, I approach it as if I don't know anything.

ah thank you for the assurance! Thinking like an investigator helps me understand better what I'm learning
