8. And Nothing Shall
Offend Them
However, it ultimately is
impossible for another person
to offend you or to offend me.
Indeed, believing that another
person offended us is
fundamentally false.
To be offended is a choice we
make; it is not a condition
inflicted or imposed upon us by
someone or something else.
Elder David A. Bednar

...Satan...came before me, saying–Behold, here am I, send me, I
will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul
shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me
thine honor.… Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against
me, and sought to destroy the agency of man...I caused that
he should be cast down.
- Moses 1:1-4
