Today we delve into Part 2 regarding the process by which Apostles became the ruling body in the LDS Church.  The different leadership bodies, who had a higher authority and stewardship, what happened at Joseph Smith’s death, who he had appointed as his successor, and how the Quorum of the twelve removed every other possible contender to take leadership upon Joseph’s death.  And finally the suspicious death of Samuel Smith which some believe was just one more step taken by the 12 to usurp any possible claim outside of themselves that aspired to leading the Church.

Today Radio Free Mormon throws us a curveball and shows us things are not so easy to brush off.  That while there are many contradiction in Mormonism that work against its claims, there are also other sides to that coin.  Namely paradoxes that call us to take the another look at Mormonism including today’s look into the Book of Mormon.  Just as we thought we might be heading down a wrong road, he points us to a road sign that suggests it may actually be a right road.  The road sign? ………  Numerology in the Book of Mormon.  No not your weird cousins type of numerology where one deciphers the numbers in your life as if reading a palm.  Rather what numbers meant to the Israelites and Jews and the Middle Eastern cultures and why strangely, those systems show up in great explainable yet statistically significant ways.

Today Radio Free Mormon releases his newest episode newest episode “Murder Most Foul”.  Today RFM explores the slaying of Laban and all the motives and correlations that the Book of Mormon puts on display giving insight into it as a text and into the mind of Nephi.  After just taking us down the wrong roads, RFM now walks us back into a serious consideration of the Book of Mormon!!!

Today “Radio Free Mormon” continues with its newest episode “Wrong Roads”.  Today RFM explores what it means to walk the logic all the way out on situations when God gives a revelation dictating the wrong answer as the right answer so that you as the receiver of a wrong answer in revelation will eventually learn the right answer by realizing God had given you the wrong answer in order to give you the right answer.
