Jesus' Unknown Grave and Origin Story in Japan is Awesome!
Discover the fascinating tale of Jesus' alleged grave in Japan, a story that intertwines history, myth, and cultural intrigue. This unique narrative suggests that during the so-called 'lost years' of Jesus, he traveled across Eurasia to Japan, where he studied with Buddhist masters. The legend continues with a dramatic twist: on the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus' brother Isuki took his place on the cross, allowing Jesus to escape back to Japan. There, he supposedly lived a peaceful life as a garlic farmer, married, and had children. This story is rooted in a small Japanese village, where two mounds are said to contain Jesus' body and a lock of his brother's hair. While this tale may seem far-fetched, it reflects the deep cultural exchanges and historical mysteries that continue to captivate imaginations worldwide. 🗺️✝️⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - The Legend of Jesus in Japan00:02:15 - Missionary Experiences in Japan00:04:24 - Historical Accounts of Christianity in Japan00:06:48 - Theories About Jesus' Travels to Japan00:09:21 - Cultural Impact of Christianity in Japan00:11:39 - Japanese Traditions and Christian Influence00:13:53 - Exploring the Myth of Jesus' Brother00:16:16 - Nationalist Myths and Religious Artifacts00:18:27 - Shintoism and Its Connection to Ancient Israel00:20:48 - Symbolism in Japanese Language and Religion00:23:09 - Cultural Reflections on Modern Society00:25:54 - Artistic Interpretations of Historical EventsTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

He Is Restoring The LOST Divine Feminine In Christianity Through His Art!
In many cultures, marriage is seen as a rite of passage, a transition from individual life to a shared existence. It is a celebration of love and unity, where two people vow to support and uplift each other. This union is often compared to a temple, a sacred space where love is nurtured and protected. The symbolism of marriage extends beyond the couple, encompassing family, community, and even spirituality. It is a testament to the power of love to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Marriage is not without its challenges, but it is these very challenges that strengthen the bond between partners. Through communication, compromise, and understanding, couples learn to navigate life's ups and downs together. The journey of marriage is a continuous process of growth and discovery, where partners learn to appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. It is a journey that ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner. 🕌❤️⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - Exploring Feminine Symbolism in Art and Theology00:03:55 - The Role of Mary in Christian Tradition00:07:54 - Understanding Alchemical Traditions and Gender Symbols00:11:45 - Symbolism of Marriage and Unity in Art00:15:39 - Feminine Power and Priesthood in Modern Context00:19:40 - Artistic Representation of Eternal Marriage00:23:35 - Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies in Religion00:27:38 - Plan of Salvation: A Visual Journey00:31:37 - Depicting Adam and Eve: Artistic Choices00:35:32 - Judgment, Mercy, and the Book of Life00:39:33 - Premortal Life and Divine Intelligence00:43:30 - Degrees of Glory and Celestial Bodies00:47:27 - Heavenly Mother and the Tree of Life00:51:20 - Creating Art with Spiritual Themes00:55:01 - Personal Journey: From BYU to Artistic ExpressionTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

Why Do Members of THIS Faith Suffer Least from Toxic Perfectionism?
The intersection of religion and mental health is a topic of ongoing debate, particularly concerning the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Critics argue that the church's teachings foster a culture of toxic perfectionism, where members feel compelled to meet impossibly high standards, resulting in mental health issues. However, recent studies suggest that the reality is more complex and that active participation in the church may actually protect against these issues. Toxic perfectionism involves an unhealthy fixation on achieving flawlessness and a fear of failure. In religious contexts, this can manifest as scrupulosity, where individuals become overly concerned with their moral or religious observance. The LDS Church, known for its emphasis on personal righteousness and community involvement, is often scrutinized for potentially contributing to such pressures. A study led by Professor Justin Dyer at Brigham Young University examined the relationship between religiosity and mental health among LDS members. The findings indicated that active members of the church were less likely to exhibit symptoms of toxic perfectionism compared to former members and non-religious individuals. This suggests that the church's community support and doctrinal teachings may offer resilience against the pressures of perfectionism. The LDS Church promotes a holistic approach to personal development, emphasizing spiritual growth alongside mental and emotional well-being. Its teachings encourage members to strive for improvement while recognizing human imperfection and the need for divine assistance. The church fosters a strong sense of belonging through regular meetings, service opportunities, and family-focused activities. The church has taken steps to address these concerns by promoting mental health awareness and encouraging members to seek professional help when needed. This balanced approach helps reduce stigma and supports members in managing their mental health effectively. In conclusion, while the LDS Church is sometimes criticized for contributing to a culture of toxic perfectionism, evidence suggests that active engagement in the church can provide protective benefits against such pressures. By focusing on community support, doctrinal teachings of grace, and open discussions about mental health, the church continues to evolve in its efforts to support the well-being of its members. Understanding the diverse experiences within the church is crucial for fostering a more informed and empathetic dialogue about religion and mental health.To Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide
