Is Nephi's Tree Jesus Or Heavenly Mother? Isaiah's King In A Different Light - feat. David Butler

Plain and Precious Things Author David Butler and I discuss Nephi's Tree of Life and Isaiah's King and Vision. Dave gives a breakdown of Josiah's reforms with some of the underlying Hebrew text to the Old Testament, as well as insights on Isaiah's vision of the seraphim and the coal. David and I think along very similar lines. He has spent decades digesting the scriptures and though he is a lay scholar, he has an important voice. These discussions are always a feast and Dave's insights are compelling and faithful. Cwic Study Group - www.cwicmedia.com/study-group  Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Don't Tell Me I Can't Be Gay And Faithful - Latter-day Saints Say How And Why

Can a gay individual or someone with same-sex attraction be faithful in the Church? Three active Latter-day Saints, Tember Harward, Craig Newsome, and Skyler Sorensen give an emphatic, "Yes." Separating LGBTQ activism from the individual is difficult work because the activists have been so successful in driving the narrative. While the message from the Brethren is clear from the pulpit, local leaders may not have such a clear understanding of the doctrine and policies of the church.

LGBTQ Confusion and Clarity In The Church

A YouTube video released today by Jacob Hansen of Thoughtful Faith on the confusion of many Latter-day Saints on the seemingly dual messaging of the Doctrine of the Family was excellent, articulate and meaningful. Here, I am offering what I believe is additional context. Are we moving toward same-sex marriage /sealing in the temple? Many think so, but what has been said even recently by the prophets? We all need to learn to "walk the edge of the sword" in these last days to find the piercing truth of light in a dark, confusing world.

MLK vs DEI - A Forgotten Message

Martin Luther King fought for "Equality" under the framework of the US Constitution. The so-called "Civil Rights" leaders today do not. Critical Race Theory and Antiracism fight vehemently against King's vision and message. Clarence Jones, the co-author of King's "I Have A Dream" speech, confirms the disparity between King's message and today's woke message.
