And now, if there are faults . . .

f
And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ.
from the title page of the Book of Mormon, translated by Joseph Smith

The faults of men, with best intent,
are hard to ever circumvent.
A jaundiced eye can find defect
in anything, then be suspect.
*
The arts of mercy, charity
we should employ consistently
when reading scripture, so our time
on Earth will echo the sublime.
*
The failings we attribute to
a prophet will obscure our view
and take us far from homeward bliss,
until the Omnibus we miss.
