Show notes

A Legacy of The Book of Mormon

Did Nephi use these chapters about Joseph, his ancestor, to write his portion of the Book of Mormon? What does Joseph's coat of many colors represent? The importance of others being able to trust you. More trickery.

"Root Out Racism" is not Critical Race Theory Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

Many Members Of The Church Are Confused By Those Conflating Root Out Racism with Critical Race Theory

The Charge from President Nelson and President Oaks to "Root out racism" and "lead out" against prejudice does not imply support for Critical Race Theory. In fact, looking closely at President Oaks' words since President Nelson made the charge in the October 2020 General Conference, shows just the opposite. Yet many members of the Church and BYU professors make the claim that this important message from our Church leaders is to be carried out through radical leftist ideologies and practices. We need to be able to discern the differences.

Come Follow Me LDS - Genesis 28-33, Jacob Becomes Israel Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Jacob Separates from Esau Then Reconciles in a Covenant Theme

The story of Genesis 28-33 is told in a covenantal outline. Jacob leaves Esau then reconciles with him in an "embrace", similar to an embrace at the veil. The story seems to use the meaning of the names of the children born to Jacob as anchor points. Jacob and Rachael meet at a well. More trickery.

Canada Moving Toward Minority Report Government? Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Trudeau and Canada Move Toward "Pre-Crime" and a Social Credit System

When Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act it gave him unprecedented powers as Prime Minister. He was able to circumvent due process and the courts, compel private businesses to assist him, to detain not only the protesters but those who financially and otherwise supported the protests, and to cut them off from the modern economy. Earlier this week he revoked the Emergencies act but he and his administration made it clear that they were going to make some of the provisions "permanent". Then came the re-emergence of Bill C-36. A "pre-crime" bill in the vein of The Minority Report that allows citizens to turn each other in if they think someone may post something online with "unacceptable views"

Neal A. Maxwell on Social Justice, Equality, and Secularism Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

In 1974 Neal A. Maxwell wrote a very applicable and telling article in regards to egalitarianism, equality, and secularism. It should be an anchor and reference for everyone trying to navigate the waters of Critical Race Theory, Critical Social Justice, and our changing institutions as well as parsing out a woke ideology from President Nelson's charge to "root out racism".

It is telling that the primary egalitarian and "equality" ideology of the day was Communism/Socialism globally, yet he could have written this article today as it applies directly to the Social Justice movement. Why? Because they are rooted in the same Marxian tenets. They act the same and they will have the same results.

Come Follow Me LDS - Genesis 24-27, The Abrahamic Covenant Feb 21, 2022

Show notes

The Abrahamic Covenant is covered from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob. The birthright inheritance and the birthright blessing are both representations of Exaltation. Women are represented at wells and are the "throne". Jacob's story of the birthright blessing seems to be couched in Day of Atonement imagery.

What BYU Is Teaching Your Kids- In Their Own Words Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

Short Excerpts from BYU Professors and Invited Guests

Teachings from lectures and discussions on Gender, Critical Race Theory, Liberation Theology, Feminism, Whiteness, and many other topics. The religion of academia is alive and well at BYU. This is what is being taught at Brigham Young University. We are the biggest BYU fans, sports, academics, all of it. But what is happening at BYU is tragic. The professors have conflated the words of the prophets with Critical Social Justice and a radical leftist worldview. The purpose of this episode is awareness.

Brad Wilcox Fireside Controversy, Race and the Priesthood Feb 12, 2022

Show notes

What exactly did Brother Brad Wilcox say in his Fireside remarks? Was it racist? What does Church History teach us about the Priesthood Ban? What was BYU's knee-jerk reaction? Is there room for criticism? Why is everyone trying to cancel Brad Wilcox?
