I have listened to this video at least 5 times. I feel that LDS church is probably one of the most organized churches with tight communities. Jehovah’s Witnesses is also an organized Christian church with a loosely knitted community. Some people like that way. Catholic and many Protestant churches have believers who choose to become buddies with a certain small group and isolate the others. Whatever will be! God has His way to lead us to our final days. Sometimes I do believe that something happened certain ways are the ways God trains us, strengthens us, teaches us to adapt to love and accept the differences with an open heart as a Christian.
John, I loved this podcast and your discussion with Dr Wilcox. I believe that I could listen to your music all day long. Thank you for mixing the spoken message with that which is sung. Sometimes a soul can be touched only through music. I look forward to part II.
I heard about Nephi the first time on a tour. Who was Nephi? I didn’t have internet on a cruise ship then. Now I start to know more about Nephi. I have a plan to complete reading the Book of Mormon slowly with Google search. I believe Laban mentioned in the first book of Nephi was not the same Laban as Jacob‘s uncle and father in law. It is almost impossible for Laban, Jacob’s father in law to outlive Joseph of Egypt and his son, Manasseh. I also believe Ishmael mentioned in the book of Nephi was not the same Ishmael as Abraham’s first son who was 14 years older than Isaac, the father of Jacob.
Book of Mormon adds to the words of prophecy. Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
I fall asleep too easily. If I were one of the ten brides to wait for the bridegroom, I might be the first one to fall asleep deeply. I would fail terribly. I pray to God that Jesus won’t show up suddenly in the middle of the night.
We are living in the end of The Endtimes. Bad things happen. Severe climate disasters happen. Wars break out. All these are parts of prophecies. I dare not blame God except one time I protested against God when I was a penguin in Antarctica in my dream. In real life, I questioned God before whether it was my fate He paved for me. Now I am old enough not to question God anymore. Whatever will be will be. In the meantime, I try to make me happy as much as I can. In the end, I want to be close to Him before my dying days.
One Gospel: Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
