THIS BLOG ATTEMPTS TO SHOW HOW SCIENCE IS CATCHING UP WITH REVEALED RELIGION
THIS BLOG IS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT ALL THE COOL STUFF THAT I BUMP INTO ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO IT INTO ONE LOCATION.
THE CONTENTS WILL BE FROM AN
LDS PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING IN HERE, I DO NOT PARTICULARLY CARE TO ARGUE, UNLESS YOU CAN ADD TO THIS BODY OF WORK. I HAVE AN OPEN MIND, THAT IS WHY I READ STUFF FROM ALL DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND SEEK LEARNING FROM THE BEST BOOKS. I JUST AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE ABOUT IT - BUT TO PUT IT OUT THERE WHERE OTHERS CAN PERUSE/PURSUE IT. I TAKE PARTICULAR INTEREST IN HONEST SEEKERS OF TRUTH AND BELIEVE THAT SCIENCE IS
REVEALED RELIGION'S BEST ALLY. YOU WILL SEE ALOT OF TOPICS IN THIS BLOG THAT SHOW SCIENCE BACKING - AND SLOWLY CATCHING UP WITH - REVEALED RELIGION.
ENJOY!!
Good overview articles. The author of the Women and the Priesthood article though seemed to strain at presentism trying to avoid the discussion of some early sisters who did in fact anoint with oil and pronounce blessings via their husbands priesthood. Yes, clarification of procedures and doctrinal development do happen. Such as the law of adoption and the sealing of people to certain priesthood holders such as Helen Mar Kimball to help build what some would term a dynastic linkage to the prophet. Others would say an early and not complete understanding of the sealing power.
ReplyDeleteI applaud the church for getting more transparent, and trying to bring the large numbers of converts up to speed on non sanitized church history. Plus it helps prevent internet shock when people are faced with malicious propaganda.
Clarification, not "via their husbands priesthood" but by the priesthood they held.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. My mistake. It almost feels like things are being put in order for such work again. Perhaps something similar to the "secular" council of 50 is in the works too.
