    My husband and I were discussing polygamy tonight. We discussed Jacob2. When read correctly it does not say polygamy is ever sanctioned. It says that the lord had to command men to practice monogamy OTHERWISE THEY WOULD COMMIT POLYGAMY like the world.
    We have been praying for the same things? For the Lord to protect Trump and his family and to bless us with a completely fair election. Protect us as he has been protecting Israel so that we can have at least 4 more good years to prepare. Very good conversation tonight!

      Monogamy is the standard. Polygamy is the exception IF the lord commands it. Jacob 2 aligns with 132 and OT references.

      @@jeremybelinski7713 Section 132 was written by Brigham Young. have you read CI from the Book of Commandments? You can clearly see how it was a cut and paste. There are what's called two voices. It was not written by one person. How does the Lord speak in 132 compared to anywhere else in scripture? Remember, the BOM was not written in chapters and verses. That was done later. Reread my explanation. The BOM was translated 196 years ago. One needs to understand the English of that time. "Shall hearken unto these things" refers to the abominations in verses 27 and 28, which were polygamy and concubines. You must read these verses as they were written. Verse 31 goes on to say "I have seen the sorrow and the heard mourning of the daughters etc" . "Raise up seed" does not mean increase the population. When you raise your child what do you do? You teach them. I will raise up see means to teach them in righteousness. polygamy did NOT increase the population of the church. The census' probe that. As a matter of fact the children born into polygamy were less likely to remain members of the church. The Lord has other ways to increase the population. He doesn't need to break His own commandments or doctrine. The church stagnated until the program of polygamy was stopped. It was never doctrine.

    Think of this:
    President Nelson has been the prophet for 7 years. He has been an apostle for 40 years and is 100 years old.
    Who was the last known prophet that reached the age of 100 years and was a leader for 40 years? and also had a very significant event happen to him related to the number 7?
    It is Joshua.
    He was over 100 years old, was a leader of Israel for 40 years and marched around Jericho for 7 days sounding the "trump" each day and then 7 times on the 7th day.
    President Nelson had given 40 talks to the world since being the prophet, and it totaled 7 hours of speaking. Or sounding the "trump".
    There was an eclipse on each end as a book mark of pres. Nelson's time as the prophet.
    Joshua was the prophet who led Israel into the promised land.
    Pres. Nelson is currently talking about the second coming and entering into the millennium or the promised land.
    Now is the time to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!!

    Morning Scott. I really enjoyed this video. It was very mindful and thoughtful. Actually it had a calming effect on me, and I thought was wise advice. So thank you!
    As for having Michelle on again, I shall look forward to that but would you ask her in the kindest way to slow down when she speaks. With my slight hearing loss I could not catch what she was saying, and I think it was mainly because she was so excited about what she was speaking about, but I had to set the playback speed at 0.75. This allowed me to catch most of what she said but slowed you and Sue down as well and made you guys sound weird.
    Anyway thanks again for a great video.

      I grew up in Barstow, California, and graduated high school. The Mojave desert is truly desolate. The only thing of beauty I observed were the bright orange poppies that bloomed every spring after the spring rains. It was the members of the Church in the two Wards in Barstow that made my time worthwhile when I lived there. I was blessed with the best teachers when I was in Primary and Young Women (it was called Mutual in those days). I am grateful for these most valiant people who loved me and taught me gospel truths and helped form my testimony and love for the Savior. I have fond memories of those years - not because of that desolate environment (ugh...) - because of the wonderful people who made a difference in my formative years in pointing me to Christ.

    I was a student at BYU Provo in 1984. I remember going to the football games, and being worried that the stands would collapse as they literally swayed beneath the enthusiastic crowds! Winning the National Championship that year, under Coach Lavelle Edwards, with Robbie Boscoe as quarterback, was particularly sweet because of former sportscaster turned two-bit Today Show host, Bryant Gumbel's snarky comment about BYU not deserving to be National Champions. Oklahoma coach, Barry Switzer, also had some very derogatory, sour grapes-style comments about BYU Football. What a memorable year at BYU!!!

I have gone to BYU football games. I was at the last home football game for LeVale Edwards, and President Hinckley was there to announce the name change of the football stadium. It was cool. The thought that came to mind about 40 years it took the pioneers 40 years to build the Salt Lake Temple. That is something else that you can add to your list.

    Those are great things to be praying for, I will add that to my prayers as well! Also, if you do have Michelle Stone back, I was greatly concerned with the way she spoke about Brigham Young. I have no problem with her ideas on Joseph Smith, and polygamy, but I did not like the way she talked about him. That greatly concerned me! Because no matter what she thinks about the policies that he implemented, he was still called of God as our Prophet. So it seemed like she was talking as if she did not believe them to be a Prophet. I think that’s why you probably got a lot of pushback on her. Because it seems like sheholds some very, possibly apostate believes on the authority of God. So if you do another interview, that’s where it could be troublesome if people are questioning him and then the keys of the priesthood authority. Do you know what I mean? sorry if this was difficult to understand, I am voice commenting while I am on my walk with my dog. I hope you have a great day!

    The North Koeans are already in Russia or Ukraine. Reportedly 10,000. However, Russian casualties hover around 1000 - 1300 per day. Lately i heard of a higher amount i think it was 1700. So that 10000 is less than 10 days worth. This war is horrific in that reguard. I have heard that 80,000 Ukrainians have been killed and 400000 wounded. Russias killed and wounded is more than 600,000. It needs to end but what is just for Ukraine? What about the members in ukraine or Russia for that matter? If Russia had taken Kiev the temple would most certainly have been destroyed, because that is how Russia takes cities and villages, by destroying every building with artillery. But see this is the only war you hear about mostly. There is the war in Israel. But more important is the growing killing and persection of Christians around the world, and especialy in Africa. I heard the other day that the reason Israel has grown so much from the time of its founding i due to the jews being driven out of their homes. Where do they go? To the U.S. or Israel. Reminds me of the prophesy that basicly says that if you dont want to take up arms with your neighbor, you need to flee to Zion for safety. I dont think it is going to get better until after Armageddon.

    Love you brother Palmer. But i would not have Michelle back. I have listened to her many times and she is not a faithful member. She does not believe in any prophet after Joseph. She will take people on a slippery slope, to be frank. She is also big on the whole gay acceptance in the church. There is tons of evidence Joseph did practice polygamy. Brother Heber talked about, Brigham, Hyrum and many many other talked about it. Many memebers of the church who lived it had many miracles and revelation that it was from god. Members of the high council in Nauvoo who left the church have said that brother joseph did in fact write 132. Emma ripped up copies of the revelation and threw it in Josephs face. Joseph said he could recall and write the revelation from memory. People like to ignore all the parts of history they don't like. Joseph infact told Heber he had to give his ( Heber's ) wife to Joseph as the lord required it. As a test to see if he would really trust him and the Lord and as a Abrahamic test. Heber was devastated came to joseph after a agonizing few days of horrible trials trying to understand how the Lord could require this. He came to Joseph and placed her hand into his and said she is his, and burst into tears. Joseph then burst into tears and said o brother Heber you have passed the test. That night. Heber and his wife received their calling and election made sure. Heber C Kimball was one of the most prophetic men in this church. He was then required by Joseph to take another wife. There are so many first hand experiences from men like him that do talk about polygamy and the prophet that most dont realize, this lady trys to sweep all this away and disregard it all.. You have to disregard all these faithful men and women to believe the blasphemy she is teaching. I am telling you the evidence is overwhelming. For the reference on Heber read Truman G Madsens book called The prophet joseph smith. He also talks about some of these things in this audio book, but i cant remember which one, but this ins a wonderful lecture series on the prophet i would listen too. Just be careful, dont be responsible for someone losing their faith b pushing this nonsense. God Bless. please check this out ua-cam.com/video/Wcmej5FYWGU/v-deo.html

Also I didn’t see a single reference to her believing that no prophet has been legitimate since Joseph. If you have a reference please list it or else please stop bearing false witness. If she truly has said those things and you aren’t just mixing your own opinions of her into an expansion of what she has said, then I will gladly listen and learn. I am always open to truth.

      You're just repeating a false narrative. We live in a day and age where technology is King. It can be good and bad. In this case it's good because it is bringing to light the truth. One day Jesus Christ will return to rule and reign and all the false traditions that have been riddled into the church will be cast off. I can't wait until he comes here and sets it all straight. Including the false tradition of polygamy. It polluted the church and brought on condemnation from the Lord.
      Once a person is shown the fallacies of polygamy in the church, you can't unsee it. You have to wrestle with it and consult heavenly Father.

      @@watcherpalmerlds i am sure you are aware there is a whole off shoot of the church called the doctrine of Christ, and this is their doctrine. Just saying i would be very careful. It is apostate group and there are thousands of people leaving the church over this nonsense. some of them even claim Brigham murdered joseph and made a movie about it. I would not give them time on your channel. Just my opinion. Yes i do love you and listen to and agree with most of your videos BUT, i do think this is of the devil . I shared one story of heber c Kimball none of these people ever bring up. I could list 10 more stories from members of the church most of them apostles. So this is the question you have to ask your self are all these people lying? Are all the brethren from the early days of the church evil adulterers or did emma lie. we all know how emma felt about it, the prophet even said polygamy almost lead to a divorce of their marriage, i am sure she did not use that in her notes either. The lord said by their fruit ye shall know them. So is the church of jesus christ of latter days saints the true church, or is it the community of christ and the new wacko group Doctrine of christ church the true one. To me the answer is clear and the fruits of the gospel are only found in one of those locations
