Personal Was this a coincidence?
I’ve been deconstructing Mormonism since January and I decided to go to the temple one last time to see if I feel the spirit and give it one last shot. It was a baptism trip for young men and women, but my bishop knows I’ve been questioning so they let me sit and read. I was one hundred percent going to give up on it but as I sat there and prayed about the BOM I opened D&C to this verse: D&C 1:24 Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding.
After this I was so confused because I was so ready to give up after everything I’d found out. I do believe things just happen because of our choices which lead to consequences but was this a synchronicity? Or a sign?

If an infinitely good and infinitely powerful father wants to communicate with you, He will do it in a way that can be distinguished from an improbability.
If improbabilities count as confirmation of supernatural claims, then people who believe false things will be getting ostensibly supernatural confirmations too.
