Ryan Lewis

@TheChosenUte @operaman86 @jamesfende Utah played really good baseball that weekend. Credit deserved. But the Big 12 season is a marathon not a sprint. Utah still finished 2 games south of BYU for the 2nd year in a row. Bottom line: Both baseball programs have a lot of work to do to get into the top tier of Big 12.

@lewisryan71 @operaman86 @jamesfende We beat you at home 2/3. Play that game.

Utah beating Baylor today would have given BYU a first round bye... Just fyi- Instead, no first round BYE for BYU. There are levels to this. Sorry Lil bro.

@operaman86 @jamesfende @TheChosenUte lol.. both sides can play that stupid game. Utah didn’t have to play WVU (2 seed) and Oklahoma State (5 seed). BYU played 4 of the top 5. Utah only played 3 of the top 5.

@jamesfende @lewisryan71 @TheChosenUte Go for it

@jamesfende @operaman86 @TheChosenUte Yep. BYU had the tougher schedule and still finished 2 games up for the 2nd year in a row.

@operaman86 @lewisryan71 @TheChosenUte And Matt just so you’re aware. BYU had to play WVU the highest ranked BIG 12 on the road . Utah didn’t even play WVU. Soooooo

@operaman86 @TheChosenUte BYU had the tougher schedule. BYU played 4 of the top 5. Utah only played 3 of the top 5.

@lewisryan71 @TheChosenUte Utah won the series at BYU 2-1. BYU lucked out and didn’t have to play TCU like Utah did. They got to play last place Houston instead.

@TheChosenUte @operaman86 Utah finished 2 games behind BYU in the Big 12 standings…..So if BYU is terrible then how would you describe the Utes.

@operaman86 BYU is terrible. They're not getting out of day 1.

@thesidetrack @itschappy The adult in the room. 👏 Yes… we need to be asking lots of questions and require full transparency.

@itschappy I'm agnostic on data centers (still not convinced we aren't overbuilding our way into an investor fed bubble) but decidedly in favor of asking a lot of questions about where and how and what happens next. Heat Islands are serious business

I’m good with the data center. We’ve been behind in this country on power generation for a while. Time to step up. Being for the data center doesn’t mean I hate the environment or the lake or children.

@elcapo_801 Keep holding on Nate…. it will all be worth it when the Jazz get AJ in 5 weeks. 🙏

I freaking hate X nowadays. You engage with one single post and then your feed is completely full of that. Especially when you negatively engage. This place just feeds on what you hate. It’s so toxic I only stay on here to get news on my favorite players.

@baylor_bearss @iiTzz_Tyrell Utahn born and bred. I’ve been in Texas heat before and it’s much much worse than Utah heat. 🔥🥵🔥

@iiTzz_Tyrell Yeah that makes sense Here in Texas the entirety of July and August is 100 and sometimes in August it gets to like 105/110 🙃

Is there anyone that genuinely loves hot weather? It’s in the 80’s and I’m already dying

@rob_alvord AJ and his dad have spent a lot of time with Ryan Smith and Danny Ainge. They trust the Jazz organization. He already chose Utah twice (HS and college). Several college blue bloods offered similar NIL and he still chose BYU. Rare gold to find another #1 pick that loves Utah.

I’m sorry, but I need someone to explain to me why we think AJ will have some kind of special loyalty to Utah He played for BYU one year, and it’s likely being the highest paid college basketball player had a little something to do with it He might be loyal, I just need more reassurance than this

@RyanQualtrics @PatMcAfeeShow AJ 🙏🙏🙏

Jazz fans, who you want at Number 2?

@slc_saint Another banger. 👏

Ancient ≠ Truth Don't be fascinated with it simply because it is old. Old ≠ Truth Let me share some important understandings when it comes to ancient writings before Christ (Or any old writings). Simple truth: Just because it's old, doesn't make it any truer than something someone could make up in 2026 and bury for a couple thousand years. Repeatedly, I see people, including scholars put forth that the older the manuscript, the higher the level of authenticity/authority/truth. It might sound impressive when it comes from before Christ and has been buried somewhere for centuries. False, false concept. Moses didn't write the five books of Moses. As in, NOT AT ALL. They were credited to Moses around 2nd century B.C. Moses was born somewhere around 1500 to 1400 BC - depending on the scholar. Exodus was written approx 600 B.C. during Babylonian exile without prophets - drawing on both oral traditions and written sources (but not written sources from Moses's era). That's easily 700 years worth of editing, cultural influence, political motives, redactions, traditions. Scholars today can show that the books of Moses went through many hands, due to layers of contradicting narratives, word use, grammar style, etc. A lot of what is attributed to Moses' Law wasn't formulated during Moses' lifetime or even in the centuries immediately following him. Let me give you an example. Animal Sacrifice (this is a bit simplified to shorten it) 1) Any man faithful to God could do it anywhere. The alter could be built from local stones or even a raised pile of dirt. The ceremony was personal and private. Examples include Abraham and Jacob both doing it on the run, literally while they were camping out in the middle of nowhere. Exodus 20:24 You need make for me only an altar of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your offerings of well-being, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you. Next layer 2) Animal sacrifice could be performed at home as before, but a designated priest had to be present, from only one tribe...Levi. This is really questionable, honestly, that this rule existed in Moses' time. It more matches the culture of 600 B.C. Next layer 3) Priests had their own cities and sanctuaries, and you had to go to where they were to offer your sacrifice. Next layer 4) Sacrifices could only happen at a temple. Next layer 5) Sacrifices could only happen at the Jerusalem temple. (Deuteronomy 12:5-14) The outcome: a gap between man and a spiritual, grounding ordinance and communion grew most prohibited and wide. It was structured to enrich the priests. The priests got a piece of every sacrifice. Eventually you could simply pay silver to replace the sacrifice. Obviously, the similitude to the sacrifice of the lamb was lost. Interesting how Joseph Smith was deeply vilified for saying, "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it was translated correctly." In 1842, this was an outrageous, apostate, faithless, evil thing to say. Even when I was younger, that statement was considered rage bait among most of the Christian world. Today, in 2026, it is considered completely reasonable. Most Christian scholars know how much apocrypha there is in the Old Testament and that a lot of things have been manipulated, evolved, redacted, added, etc. What Joseph Smith said about the Bible in 1842 is now common knowledge and common sense in 2026. Having said that, I'm finishing up 2 Samuel and want to witness that the Old Testament is rich with inspiring passages and truths. Nonetheless, the Spirit is 100% necessary when reading it. Bottom line: Something needs to have a lot more going for it than simply be 2-3000 years old to be true. Quite simply, it needs to be true in the first place. Age does not certify truth nor does it increase its chances of being true. You're welcome. The pdf downloads on my site have grown to about 700 downloads a week. I am busy making changes to keep up with demand and offer relevant content. PPS. I had an 80 minute zoom session with BHP 2 weeks ago, a prominent LDS scholar and he answered some questions I've had for years. It was awesome. Godspeed us all.

@surskitmaxxing @ZelphBones Yes

@ZelphBones Did he call him out for being ashamed to represent Mormonism boldly and honestly? Based if so

LDS member David Alexander made a whole YouTube video about Jacob Hansen’s interview with Allie Beth Stuckey. Here's a short clip. He wrote an "open letter" to Jacob Hansen as well. What's next "LDS vs LDS content creator debates?"😉

@CurrentUSUAggie 🤝

A Neutral USU vs BYU game, would sell out the Delta Center fyi

@SpideYstow The way it should be. Royal forever and always.

Wut
