Okay, while I have not yet received the book, I would certainly be interested in everyone's interpretation of a few issues about the "Fullness of the Gospel". All responses and opinions are welcome.

The scriptures rightly emphasize the "Fulness" of the Gospel.

But - What does the following verse really suggest?
"D&C 35:12"
And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation.


For me, it seems to suggest that until we are prepared to "receive the fulness", we are incapable of doing good, regardless of our "good intentions".

If my interpretation is correct, then what does "ready to receive the fulness" mean? What must we do to be ready to "receive"?



BTW - I did not actually link to the scripture on LDS dot Org because I am not permitted to link at this time.
