The gospel of Christ should be easy to understand. The Savior taught in parables, but he spoke of simple things so people would have the best chance of grasping His meaning.

I deliberately avoid lots of references and scholarly quotes and citations so that we can focus on the principles behind the doctrine. To live a teaching in the gospel of Christ we have to first have a basic understanding of what is wanted or expected of us and how it will affect our life when we live it.
