In this episode we go over Chapter 6 of the Book of Remembrance. Here we talk about hearing and heeding the call, sin-what it is and what it means, and what all this means to your call and ministry in Jesus Christ.From the Book of Remembrance:"Behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many who have been ordained among you before they were in the flesh, whom I have called, but few of these are chosen. For behold, they must hear my call and heed it also; For my paths are straight, and they are known unto me, yet these must know me and hearken unto my voice to harken unto my call." -5:14-18Music: “Impact Moderato” by Kevin MacLeodClick here to become a patron.Support the show

"And in the day that I, Zenos, did find myself alone in the wilderness, being driven off course, for I did wonder many days alone; and it came to pass that in the day that I had lost all hope for the salvation of my life, I did pray into YHVH for the forgiveness of my sins and for the salvation of my eternal soul." -Zenos 1:1-2Support the show

"To the descendants of Joseph, to be kept hidden from the World until the Last Days: By the Power of YHVH, these Plates of Brass shall not perish, neither shall they be dimmed by time; but YHVH Elohim shall preserve these Words to go forth unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people from the mouths of those who are of the seed of Joseph; and even as Joseph fed Israel and kept them safe from famine in a strange land, these plates must be preserved that Israel may eat of the Word of God in the famine that shall be found the Last Days."

"And after they had given thanks unto the God of Israel, my father Lehi took the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, and he did search them from the beginning. And he beheld that they did contain the five books of Moses, which gave an account of the creation of the world, and also of Adam and Eve, who was our first parents." -1 Nephi 1:158-160 RAV, 5:10-11 OPV“Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.” –Ezekiel 37:19 KJVThe 5 Books of Moses is a divinely inspired translation of the plates of brass by David that began March 8, 2018. Being awoken around 2 am, he was given the first few chapters of the Book of Melchizedek. In 2019, David was told to begin translating, among other things, these 5 Books of Moses. Less than a year later, the work was completed.  The plates of brass are a part of the “coat of many colors” Jacob gave his son Joseph. These writings of Moses are a part of the stick of Ephraim that is to be put with the stick of Judah. This is why it was written on brass in Egyptian, the language of Joseph of Egypt, because it was not for all of the tribes.The title page reads:“To the descendants of Joseph, to be kept hidden from the World until the Last Days: By the Power of YHVH, these Plates of Brass shall not perish, neither shall they be dimmed by time; but YHVH Elohim shall preserve these Words to go forth unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people from the mouths of those who are of the seed of Joseph; and even as Joseph fed Israel and kept them safe from famine in a strange land, these plates must be preserved that Israel may eat of the Word of God in the famine that shall be found the Last Days. “To those charged to keep these records: keep them safe, keep them hidden until Fullness of Times; for in them are the manna to feed Israel, and in them are the coat of many colors preserved unto the seed of our father, Joseph, as given Him by his Father, Jacob; and in Israel is found the straight path to YHVH Elohim. “Israel be blessed, for in YHVH is our salvation found, throughout all time and for all eternity; Amen.”Read the 5 Books of Moses in a free PDF free PDF, buy a paperback or a hardback copy from Lulu, or a paperback on Amazon.Music: “Impact Moderato” by Kevin MacLeodSupport the show

"the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world, that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure... there began to be great contentions among the people of the church; yea, there were envyings, and strife, and malice, and persecutions, and pride... the wickedness of the church was a great stumbling-block to those who did not belong to the church; and thus the church began to fail in its progress... Yea, he saw great inequality among the people, some lifting themselves up with their pride, despising others, turning their backs upon the needy and the naked and those who were hungry, and those who were athirst, and those who were sick and afflicted." - Alma 2:13-17, 19 RAV; 4:8-10, 12 OPVSupport the show

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

"Perhaps thou shalt say: The man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore, I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just. But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this, the same hath great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done, he perisheth forever and hath no interest in the kingdom of God. For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same being, even God, for all the substance which we have; for both food, and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind? And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on his name and begging for a remission of your sins. And has he suffered that ye have begged in vain?  Nay; he has poured out his Spirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled with joy, and has caused that your mouths should be  stopped, that ye could not find utterance, so exceeding great was your joy." -Mosiah 2:30-35 RAV, 4:17-20 OPVSupport the show

"Wherefore, the Prophets, and the Priests, and the Teachers did labor diligently, exhorting, with all long-suffering, the people to diligence, teaching the law of Moses and the intent for which it was given, persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah and believe in him to come, as though he already was; and after this manner did they teach them. And it came to pass that, by so doing, they kept them from being destroyed upon the face of the land; for they did prick their hearts with the word, continually stirring them up unto repentance."

The following is the transcript of Kristine’s Easter 2020 message.On this Easter Sunday, we worship together in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After the atonement, Jesus was crucified, his spirit left his body, and his body was laid to rest in a sepulcher or tomb. On the first day of the week, Sunday, Jesus’ spirit and body were reunited and He rose.Sunday MorningOn the morning of the first day, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. When she saw that it was empty she wept because she thought that Jesus’ body had been taken. But, Jesus appeared unto her and told her to go forth and share of his return with the twelve.“The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher… But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them: Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him: Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her: Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him: Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her: Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.” -John 20:1, 11-18But, in Luke 24:11 we learn that the disciples didn’t believe Mary or the other women when they came to preach of Jesus’ resurrection.“And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.”Why did the disciples lack faith in Mary’s words?Women CalledEven during this time, men often used their power to rule over women. Women were not allowed their voices – they were not allowed to cast a vote, to testify, or to preach. So, when these female disciples of Jesus came to testify of the things they had seen, and what Mary had experienced, the male disciples did not believe.Knowing this, why then did Jesus appear to Mary, a woman, first, and direct her to testify to his disciples of his return? Jesus certainly knew of the reception she would receive. I believe this was meant as a reminder to both his female disciples of their faith and the validity of their voices in preaching of Him, and also to his male disciples that their sisters, wives, and daughters are commissioned as equals to preach of His gospel.Sisters, I say to you, we have an integral seat at God’s table. We have been called and set apart to share of Christ’s love, and of His atonement for us with the world. I would encourage each of you to continue to seek His call for you in prayer. And, brothers, I encourage you to support and lift up those sisters among you, that they will be magnified in this call.Support the show

The following is from a message I shared with Latter Day Saint Universalist ministries January 3, 2021 on the Seven Principles of Mormon Kabbalah. 1. God is real(Alma 16:54-55a RAV, 30:44c-d OPV)2. God is good(1 John 1:5)3. Created to be saved(John 3:16-17)4. Freedom of choice(Enoch 37:22-23)5. Love and serve God(Matthew 22:36-40, Moroni 7:11 RAV, 7:13 OPV)6. Love our neighbors(Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 22:36-40)7. Change perception, change reality(DoS 42:10-11 [DaC 76:3a CoC, 76:12 CJCLdS])Support the show

The following is based on a portion of a transcript from a sermon from November 21, 2015. In the Torah, in Leviticus 19:18, the Lord says, “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord” (Holy Bible, KJV). Further down, in verses 33-34 we read:And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.Let’s tie this together. In verse 18 we’re commanded to love our neighbors, the people we know. In verses 33-34 it extends to anyone coming into the land. This is important, because this is the Law. When refugees come we don’t say, “let’s see what they can do for us, let’s see what skills they have.”Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:43-48:Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.In the Book of Mormon, Christ teaches the same doctrine to the Lehites.And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; but behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good. Therefore those things which were of old time, which were under the law, in me are all fulfilled. Old things are done away, and all things have become new. Therefore I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect. -3 Nephi 4:70-73 RAV, 12:43-48 OPV.This is the great work we show after we’ve been born again. We too love our neighbors, just a Christ set the perfect example for us to do. It’s that compassion for our fellow beings. We see that we were in a fallen state, that Jesus Christ descended below it all, and suffered for us. He died for us. And, all he asks us to do in return is love him. To accept him. To come to him with a broken heart and contrite spirit. And by doing this, the Holy Spirit moves us. We grow in Grace and become Christlike, loving our neighbors. Not turning them away, but helping them in any way we can.Support the show

In this episode we talk about Da'at and this Sefirot's assigned angel as understood in the Book of Remembrance.From the Book of Remembrance:"The second and the third is Da’at (Knowledge), the Truth of the way, before the creation. And only by Knowledge may wisdom be gained, for the beginning of  knowledge is truth. Knowledge is the Left Eye; from Truth came the Torah, the treasure of Heaven. And I, the Great Jehovah, am its herald, but in my place stands Khamael to be its herald, and Khamael walked the earth as Alma, until I took him." -Book of Remembrance Chapter 33:9-12Music: “Impact Moderato” by Kevin MacLeodSupport the show
