And how hear we every man in our own tongue?
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
There is meaning all around; if I am seeking, I will find it: “all things denote there is a God”(Alma 30: 44) and if I will listen to understand, I will “let the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever.”(D&C 128: 23) Otherwise it may seem as meaningless as drunken mumbling.
Heavenly Father teaches me according to my own language, according to my own context. Doctrines may take on different connotations and connections based on the person being taught: I learn by accepting these differences and amalgamating them. Until I understand how they fit together, I will leave space for every understanding.
