If you don’t want to Make America Great Again You shouldn’t be in power in this country.

So we're going to impeach her and undo the decision right? Right?

lol

@brianjholman @ThoughtfulSaint Oh look. Another schmuck on the Internet that thinks he has everything figured out.

It’s much more concerning to think you can understand the intentions of God; that you can plan better than God; that you can understand omnipotence and timelessness better than God; that you can use your rational mind to be a better god than God. The same LDS take as always: if I were what I believe God to be, I would have done it better than He did. You ultimately make God in your own image. In a worldview that assumes God is all powerful and all knowing, you can also assume God did everything as he intended, with full knowledge of what he was doing; and he chose to do His will, not Jacob Hansen’s.

Question for non LDS folks. Why would God put a poison tree in the middle of his perfect garden knowing that Adam and Eve would partake? The only way out of this is to say God intended it for some higher purpose. Which implies his initial creation was not perfect but could be improved upon.

@Manhattva I am in favor of greater and more immediate consequences

@PageauJonathan Just go a little further.

The notion that the Garments of Skin given to Adam are passed down from generation to generation and contains a civilizational power is not something we invented for the Godsdog series. It is described in the book Jasher and then other later traditions. The traditions usually go until Jacob taking them from Esau after Esau stole them from Nimrod. We then continue this tradition using the prophetic transfer of a hairy garment with Elijah, pushing that logic until St John the Baptist. After that, we speculate about who and how that power is held. The garments of skin are real enough for this story to have survived in second temple literature, and they are real enough that Christian authors like St Gregory of Nyssa make them into an image of exteriority and our passions. So that makes them pretty real. At 10 years old, I would suggest you simply ask your son who he thinks would have the garments of skin today.

@Manhattva They lie.

Right wing violence against political enemies is exceedingly rare, (zero documented in Utah in the past 50 years according to Grok) so I’m assuming they must have had threats from leftists? Either that or they’re full of crap and clearly trying to get out of this idiotic situation, they put themselves into.

"And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them. And in the days of your poverty ye shall cry unto the Lord; and in vain shall ye cry..."

My song and video, "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty" is now live. Most people know the story of Joseph Smith’s First Vision from the official 1838 account found in the Pearl of Great Price. But did you know Joseph actually left four different firsthand accounts during his life? Each one was written to a different audience, and each contains unique details that most of us rarely hear. For my new song, "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty," I didn’t want to choose just one version. I wanted to weave them all together into a single, chronological experience. Here is the history hidden in the lyrics: The Physical Struggle (Verse 1) In the famous 1838 account, Joseph describes a "thick darkness." But in his 1835 journal entry, he adds visceral physical details: His tongue swelled in his mouth so he could not speak. He heard footsteps walking up behind him. Lyric: "Knelt upon the ground to pray, but my tongue began to swell / Footsteps walking up behind me..." The Angels (Verse 2) We usually picture just the Father and the Son. However, the 1835 account explicitly states, "I saw many angels in this vision." Lyric: "And a host of many angels, surrounding them in flame." The Forgiveness of Sins (Verse 2) The earliest account (1832) wasn't about starting a church—it was about Joseph’s soul. In this version, the Lord tells him immediately that his sins are forgiven. It’s a tender, personal moment often lost in the later institutional retellings. Lyric: "One looked down and called me Joseph, said 'My son, thy sins are gone.'" The "Exact" Resemblance (Verse 2) The 1842 Wentworth Letter adds a fascinating visual detail: the two Personages "exactly resembled each other in features and likeness." Lyric: "In the fire I saw them standing, two who looked exactly same." The Future Promise (Verse 3) In the 1842 account, Joseph isn't just told the churches are wrong; he is promised that "the fullness of the gospel" would be made known to him in the future. It wasn't just a rejection of the old, but a promise of the new. Lyric: "Wait a while and I will show you, fullness of the truth to come." The Result By combining the 1832 (Redemption), 1835 (Angels & Struggle), 1838 (The Warning), and 1842 (The Promise), the story becomes fuller. It moves from a terrifying physical battle to a moment of personal forgiveness, and finally to a prophetic calling. "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty" is my attempt to capture the whole picture and I hope it can help spread the truth of Joseph's experience and the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I think this is the greatest thing to ever be posted to the internet. I love it more than I should.
