Another great discussion! Pastor Jeff McCullough and Latter-day Saint Greg Matsen discuss the Garden of Eden.

A few months ago, I sat down with Jeff to ask him about his understanding of the Garden of Eden. It was obvious to me that this was an area that needed to be discussed and that it offers the framework to better understand many of the core differences in our theologies. We agreed to sit down and follow up on the conversation. This episode is that follow-up.

We touch on: -

The beguiling of Eve - What does "death" mean anciently? - The Pre-Mortal World - What was the plan of God? - How does the Garden of Eden inform both God's Plan and the purpose of mankind? - At what point could Adam and Eve procreate? - The Tree of Life - The necessity for mankind to have Faith in Christ. - And much more!

Every Pride Month, the ideology of identitarianism encroaches further into Latter-day Saint culture.

Charlie Bird's decision to marry his boyfriend brings many of the problems and confusion on this topic into focus.

Pride Month lifts lesser identities above being a Child of God.

The Brethren have given some clear guidance on the conflict between the gospel and these pernicious ideologies, such as identitarianism and intersectionality, but you must look for it. For this reason, there is a lot of confusion among the members of the church.

Latter-day Saint influencers, including some very popular ones, are not willing to talk about the First Great Commandment and instead go directly to the Second Great Commandment. This adds to the confusion.

Many are investing in a Hope for Change instead of a Hope In Christ.

If Jesus spoke of our time, would he have spoken of the ideologies and philosophies such as wokeness and victimhood in our day? Those things that contradict the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The Parables of the Ten Virgins, the Talents, and the Sheep and Goats from Matthew 25 are better understood by including the preceding chapter, Matthew 24. Matthew 24 is the chapter used for Joseph Smith - Matthew in the Pearl of Great Price. It is about the last days. Several phrases and ideas in chapter 24 carry over to the three parables. And if we look closely, these three parables are woven together and give each other meaning. Take a listen!

Scholar Bruce H. Porter has a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience. We discuss what he has experienced in the temples of Egypt, how our own temple experience is found there, plus some inside baseball on the mummies, the papyri, and the Book of Abraham.

How did the ancient Egyptians get the temple rites? What is the Egyptian "Ritual Embrace?" Where exactly did the mummies and papyri used for the Book of Abraham come from?

"Of all the social institutions designed by God, I suppose none is under greater attack than the family."

"If you pierce the family, you pierce its society."

"When Marx and Engels declared “Abolish the family!” their worldview reflected the heart of Satan’s strategy to destroy relationships because that attacks the very heart of the nature of God. This includes the destruction of every other social institution because they also carry the relational design of God."

Has the underbelly of society been weakened? Have we been weened onto addiction and dependence? Have we lost our way?

Teenagers spend an average of 9 hours/day with their phones and entertainment, adults, 6 hours.

Dividing society into victim and oppressor (Critical Theory) means most people will make a decision on which group they want to participate in and almost all will pick being a victim.

Meritocracy is now a pejorative to the new society. Dependence is where it is at.

Most of the newer ideologies today are simply repackaged Marxism. Many don't want to hear that. Some will say it is conspiratorial, others that it is not true. But anyone who really studies these secular "philosophies of men" or even listens to what the movers and shakers of these ideologies actually say, cannot walk away without an understanding that this is exactly what it is.

As these Marxian, "Woke" ideologies pull us further into secularism and away from Christianity and even the founding principles of America, they create a divide in the culture. Marxism and its descendant ideologies are worldviews. Not just a political position or random idea. They require your heart, might, mind, and strength. Sound familiar?
