The really difficult situation is when you feel like you have received spiritual witnesses of the truth of the gospel, but that you are not confronted with somethingi that feels wrong.
How much easier it would be if we had neve received spiritual witnesses. It would be like walking away from a plate of brocolli and mustard greens.
It's the paradoxical ground that many of us have to deal with, and for many of us, we are able to reconcile this by realizing the church has been and always will be populated by and administered by imperfect human beings. But that does not diminish the role of the divine in our lives.
