How many have built their lives and livelihood on being against people who once did or did not practice polygamy, or slavery, or racism 200 years ago. That's nuts to me. Imagine being in a constant state of rage over it.
If I was to be my Authentic Self I would be a Monk in the Crusades. Fortunately....I had the Privledge of receiving a witness of the book of Mormon so my Crimson Covered Monk Aspirations are shall we say put on Hold for the Foreseeable Eternity. In other words. My Authentic Self is putting to rest the aspirations of those who want to live their Authentic Selves in a Temporal Sense whereas the Restored Gospel prohibits me from being my Authentic Self... Which in summation means this...Knowing that The Church has been restored on the Earth it means that God respects the Agency of Man, and therefore I ought not to be my Authentic Self, and Trust in God that ultimately Order will be Restored. And that not only will Order be restored we must live According too his Law, and Covenants, and His Will, and Principles which are the Principles of that Eternal Order that he has Established, Not my Will, but His Will be Done. The Book of Mormon helped open a door in my Life that put to rest my Authentic Self, and I am Truly Grateful for that Burden being Lifted from me, and it showed me Greater things then I ever imagined.
That is my biggest problem with the world is they decide what they want to do or what they believe what's best for them and not God's will... I try my hardest to do everything towards God's will though I fall sometimes I try my best
You know what I found interesting 🤔 Marcus Aurillius says the natural state of man is in tune with God and the universe. The unnatural State of man is contentious....... I felt the same spirit as when I hear of Christ. When I heard that. Strange how many people are not in tune with God and the universe.
The natural man as defined by Marcus Aurelius vs The Book of Mormon are different. If you don’t to come to an understanding on this basic fact you will run into misunderstandings and unnecessary arguments.
And he is before all things, and in Him all things consist of. Col 1:17. and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of cross. Col 1:20. The scriptures have all the answers to know God, it is a supernatural book, read it and you will know the sovereign God of the universe and it will change you.
I grew up in the church. I served in the military and a mission by the age of 22. I went to college and met a beautiful woman the spirit told me to marry. I asked her to marry me she said yes. I felt like the most blessed person who lived. My fiance's mother hated me having not met me her justification was i had served in the military. I was going to be a horrible husband and adulterer ext... My fiance was constantly being abused by her mother because of her decision to marry me. My ex fiance's mother wanted her to marry someone else. My fiance wanted to elope. I didn't do it because I thought it was unnecessary. My fiance insisted I go to their house for mother's day. Talk about ackward. My fiance broke up with me the next day. The day before my birthday. I left the state for work to try to get past the pain. A few months later I returned home. My mother suggested I prepare names for the temple page after page of names were people who shared my ex fiance's last name. I felt the spirit to try to visit her i went to her house she wasn't home. I went to the church nearby there was a wedding reception going on. I think it was her wedding. I didn't go in I collapsed in the parking lot. I presume her mother got her way and married her off to the young man her daughter didn't want to marry. I went back to college met my ex-wife who i married because she claimed she loved me. I didn't feel the spirit. I rejoined the military and went to Iraq. After my first tour in Iraq i got sealed to my ex-wife. While across the altar from her the spirit said to me she's not Danica my ex fiance. A blow to an already wounded soul. My next deployment to Iraq was difficult. I had poor leaders. My ex-wife cheated on me with a 65 year old man. I stayed with her because i knew she had issues. I left the military and became a contractor and went back to Iraq to pay for a home. While I was there my ex-wife asked for a divorce. I came home from Iraq and filled for divorce. I took a vacation to Cancun. I was in a dark spot. There I met my wife who the spirit told me to marry. I promptly said no. But I kept her as a friend. A few years later we married and had our son Robert. A year after my son was born my wife found a lump on her breast it was cancer. I stopped going to church entirely because the last time I went to church they were talking about service. I have done more than most people ever will. When my wife had cancer no one helped us except for my sisters who both have left the church due to abuse. I have a testimony of the gospel. But the church is nothing but a den of iniquity where you abuse the people who follow the spirit.
I'm sorry for your pain brother. Please don't let it cause you to despair, but let Christ and His suffering for and with you bring you hope of a better world to come.
@@MattMorency I have a very different perspective. I have hope that those I love will see the celestial kingdom. I would gladly close the gates of hell and Lock myself in outer darkness for eternity for the knowledge that those I love would be in the celestial kingdom for eternity. I would consider that a celestial existence for those I love to be safe as I serve those who need the greatest Service.
@@academyofchampions1 sadly the Mormon Jesus is fundamentally different, a false Mormon Jesus. Have you considered that you’ve trusted in a false gospel and are still at risk of their consequences to your sin without knowing the real Jesus?
THIS has been the meeting I have been living for!!! My two favorite thinkers!

Jacob!! I’m so happy you had Justin on I’m such a huge fan of his and have been for a long time. And have been fallowing you more recently.
Jacob Hansen going next level!! 💪🏻
The ending of James Joyce's _Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man_ was an iconic rallying cry, but it in turn was rooted in Romanticism.

Great discussion. My 82 year old parents don’t understand what the kids these days are whining about.
Radical individualism destroys society.
Jacob: *talks
Other guy: mmm mmm mmm
Be whatever you want is just be whatever you think would impress your peers who are, these days shallow and even perverse.
Bring me on you show Jacob
