I can see the pride. Can you?
The belief that the lds church is not who he is talking about is prideful. It's puffed up. It's exactly what nephi is saying about the churches of our day too.
The lds church is included and it's not the only one.
The lord can be pleased with us. And yet is not be perfect. Curruption need work need repentance. And so on. Keep trying though.
Diapers = Individuals in the church (we all have need to repent and things to fix)
The Lord still loves his baby
The baby is not perfect. It needs to grow, learn, progress.
Knowing it's a baby means that we stay humble. We know it's not perfect. If it was perfect it would be the millennium.
It's not the millennium. The baby has stinky poop.
