Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 88

Doctrine and Covenants 88 is a gargantuan revelation. We set the stage with Joseph Smith and Sections 86 & 87 for the reception of "The Olive Leaf". The Section starts out with the title, "Lord of Sabaoth." We cover this and talk about the Deuteronimists in Jerusalem at the time of Lehi. One thing to notice in this section is its framing of hierarchy through the Sun, Moon, Stars, and the Earth. It is very, very, similar to that often talked about chapter 3 in the Book of Abraham. You know, the one with "Kolob." We cover that.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com Come Follow Me LDS Doctrine and Covenants 88

Brown Nephites & White Lamanites? Skin Color In The Book of Mormon

When the Book of Mormon speaks of skin color, is it literal or a metaphor? Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians used skin color as a metaphor. Jeremiah and Daniel, contemporaries of Lehi and Nephi, used skin color as a metaphor. Could the Lamanites and the Nephites have had the same skin color while using black and white, dark and fair as a metaphor to distinguish between righteous and wicked, industrious and idle? It looks that way.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Cuban Protests and Ibram Kendi's America

The recent Cuban protests shine a light on a message that the media often does not want to share- protesting against Marxism. Ibram Kendi, a Critical Race Theorist, used the example of Castro's victory fighting against the "vicious American military" as hope for a new American Revolution as well. What would Kendi's America look like? Senator Mark Rubio speaks in the senate and I use his words to match Critical Race Theory to what is happening in Cuba. Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

BYU Social Justice Courses?

BYU has already added several courses based on the suggestions from the Committee on Race, Equity and Belonging. Will this be a good thing? The problem is the manner in which they are taught. Critical Pedagogy is likely in these courses and Critical Theory is specifically outlined as the way they will be taught.   Webstite- https://www.cwicmedia.com
