This channel is an extension of Doctrine and Covenants Central where our mission is to build enduring faith in Jesus Christ by making the Doctrine and Covenants accessible, comprehensible, and defensible to people everywhere.
The thing I’d add to the question about current prophets and social issues (ends around 55:00) I agree that we have to have a relationship with God but we still need to practice religion within the bounds of the current leadership. Before the ban was removed even if well meaning, members couldn’t ordain someone to the priesthood of the church taught that they couldn’t receive the priesthood. We can’t extend our moral compass to official religious practices while we can be kind in our personal interactions with others where we disagree or have different beliefs.
I m so thankful for Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum that I am bless with a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ .
Can you see the disciples sneaking a gun into Jesus? What did He say about Peter's sword? Certainly Jesus would never fire a gun (or swing a sword) at His enemies. Joseph was no follower of Jesus. It is said of Joseph in Matthew 7:23.
Jesus literally told his followers that if they couldn't afford a sword, to sell their cloak and buy one, Luke 22:36. He very much allows and encourages us to stand up and protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Please stop deceiving people. The ONLY instrument of translation was the Urim and Thummim. The seer stone in a hat is a satanic lie. There were no sentences in the translation. The printer had to add punctuation. This is more proof that whole sentences did NOT appear on some silly seer stone.
I’m so grateful for the example of the prophet Joseph and his older brother Hyrum. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah. Many criticize and mock these Martyrs but they lived great and died great. Fools mock, but they shall mourn.
City Creek Mall Is a “Moat” utilized by church authorities to push out & distance anyone who who makes the mormon church look bad. It’s a Nasty Combination of church & state using public money for private enterprise. SHAME ON YOU!
$32Billon consecrated tithe dollars invested secretly into “SHELL CORPORATIONS”. The church has agreed to pay $1 million and Ensign Peak will pay $4 million in penalties based on the violation. “Thinking has been done” so, keep paying tithing & don’t worry about it.
Every homeless person on the Wasatch Front could be helped in ways big & small. But look, BeholdThe City Creek Mall clustered in gold & barfy extravagance. The shadow of The Temple falls on worldly glitz.
Why is the mask of hyrum covered over on the chin area.. is that a bullet entry point that is trying to be hidden from the public eye.. and is it true that the church no longer endorses the 2 eye witness accounts as true.. because they conflicting testimony
This group is involved in the most heinous crimes against humanity. So bad that it will get removed if i say it. YT is protecting the criminals taking advantage of the innocent parishioners. Wolves in Sheppard's clothing.
Dallin Oaks said destroying the press was not legal and that Joseph was wrong in thinking he had judiciary power as the mayor of Nauvoo. However, Elder Oaks did say that the destruction of the publication (not the press) was justified since it incited violence in an inflammatory climate.
It is hard to be convincing when leaders tell members we are in the 11th hour and you are buying Amazon warehouses rather than homeless shelters. The LDS church is Small and yet the are hiding how vast their stock, real estate, land, and business holdings really are. They are a real estate, business, and investment company masquerading as a church.
I am so grateful to you both (and your team). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences ❤ you make scripture study more personal and practical way. Thank you.
First of all the Church still does the auditing report in General Conference. But second of all I cannot adequately tell you both how much I appreciate this program. Church History Matters. You make it so interesting. You must do hours of research on many if not all of your subjects. I watch a lot of podcasts as far as scripture study but I always add this one every week or even some of your older recording on different subjects. Please keep up this wonderful work about explaining the Lord's Church policies, histories, fallacies , etc to members and wonderful explanations to non-members. But no matter which category your explanations are clear and easily understood. I look forward to your podcast every week. Thank you for all your hard work and love of the Lord Jesus Christ that comes across so perfectly.
How did someone break the “new and everlasting covenant” that is referred to around 3:30 ish. How is something of God called “everlasting”covenant be broken or thwarted by mere mortals?
Gee! Let me see! Joseph Smith “married” forty women, 5 of whom were as young as 14, and six were married to other men, engaged in fraudulent activities so much so he was found guilty in a court of law, engaged in treasure digging and use the same seers stone to find buried treasure to interpret the Book of Mormon, had at least 12 failed prophecies, and was such an egomaniac that his closest aides left the church entirely. I have no idea why people wanted revenge!
prove your claims.... show us the alleged marriage records.....Jesus was found guilty in court of law. prove he was a fraud. (We did not know that that permitted a death sentence without trial) So you belief it is OK to murder people without due process?
@@michaelparks5669 Wow, an appeal to truth; a call for evidence and irrefutable proof! Maybe don't throw rocks when you're inside a glass house - this is Mormonism we're talking about afterall! Let's put the beliefs of the Mormon cult on trial and see how they stand up against due process. If you value due process then answer the questions: Could you prove that a group of ancient Israelites somehow travelled from Jerusalem to America? Be truthful and give up the evidence for everyone to see. Maybe you'd like to prove that the garden of Eden is in Jackson, Missouri? Please be truthful and support your claims with evidence. Do it. Prove YOUR claims.
These two so called LDS historians leave out Joseph Smith destroyed a printing press to stop free speech of the Constitution of the United States. Josheph formed militias to wage war against the citizens of the United States. The call him a martyr after shooting into a crowd of people presumably killing two men. Then jumping headfirst out the jailhouse window to save his own neck. The LORD said people in the end of day would set out to deceive calling evil good and good evil. The one with a man bag and the other man love to spin the truth and create false narratives. In other words, they are both liars.
Slander is not protected free speech. Self-defense is not murder. The militia was only one, and agreed to fight with the U.S. Army. It was formed after massacres of saints. Your evil lies will not go without judgment.
The music is so intrusive to thought and irritating to peace as to be very annoying to and averse to easy listening and viewing, which i think is what you are trying to convey to viewers, please ponder this when you make your next video. The content on it's own merits is more than exciting enough, believe me, without trying needlessly to enhance it's appeal.
@@michaelparks5669 so they say? You also lie calling him a true prophet of GOD with a list of false prophecies. You best study up. Zion Missouri never was established in Joseph Smiths generation. JESUS 2nd coming didn't happen in 56 years. The US government still exist, he cursed it's down fall. I doubt the 6'1" is true coming from the LDS mountain of lies and cover ups.
@@michaelparks5669 do you think JESUS will hold innocent for you lying at our doors saying a failed false prophet is a true prophet of GOD with a list of failed prophecies. like his thus sayeth the lord Zion Missouri will be established in Joseph's generation? Deut. 18:20-22 says failure comes with a death penalty. Will JESUS find you innocent for worshipping a dead treasure digging stone seer conman? Will JESUS find you innocent for believing Joseph's sealed marriages after JESUS chastened the Sadducees for err in the scriptures that the woman to 7 will neither be married nor given in marriage in the resurrection. Why do you believe Joseph over JESUS? JESUS said the FATHER is SPIRIT and no man has seen the FATHER but the SON. You believe Joseph that YHWH is a man of flesh and bone and disregard what JESUS told us. Who do you believe, Joseph or JESUS? Will JESUS find you innocent for giving a testimony that your cult is true, the BoM is inspired to an adulterate treasure digging stone seer's fairytales and a failed dead prophet is a true prophet?
The joy of our Heavenly Father are His children, no His eternal wives. Heavenly Father have more than one wife. There is nothing wrong with that. His eternal children is what matter to Him, the most.
The problem most of people have accepting plural marriage is because they have a romantic idealism about marriage. Life eternal is to have a continuation of life; in another word, having children eternally, rather with one wife or more then one.
Wherever you worship make your connection to the father and son stronger. Be open to promptings of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Work on those connections.
I have a history degree and wanted to teach. I went to the interview and he said I was too short and young. He said as a young woman, I would quit to have a family. We adopted our son 8 years after that interview.
