What does it really mean to accept Jesus?  "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?   Have you been saved?  Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior?"  Some may have been asked these questions.   You may have asked them yourself.   But what is the real meaning of these phrases?  What does it really mean "to accept Jesus as your personal savior"?  There is a deeper understanding beyond many common Christian teachings - It also ties in to discovering what real Grace is. It is imperative we understand this not only for our salvation one day in heaven but.....to truly live now.  To be ALIVE.   Not just to merely exist one day after another undtil our heart stops beating.   True joy, peace, freedom, and most importantly Love can be experienced today, here, now.   But it does not come cheaply or easily.    This episode looks at what the word truly says about grace, accepting Jesus, and salvation.   Men stumble because of false teachings and misunderstandings, false traditions passed down from others.   It is most important we constantly return to the word of God to see what He says.  As has become our great joy, we look at clarification and additional understanding that comes from the word in the Book of Mormon  as well as the bible.

The Book of Mormon brings clarity to common christian debates such as: "What does it mean to be saved?". "Once you are saved can you lose your salvation?" "Can you be plucked out of your Father's Hand?"  It also brings clarity to misunderstanding in restoration circles due to revelations that came later after the Book of Mormon  and muddy the waters, changing the gospel even.   In this episode as we sort through this misinformation, follow up from last episode on baptism, and clarify God's judgement and plan for eternal life with Him using the plain gospel and writing's found in the Book of Mormon .

Eternal Marriage is one of the leading doctrines of the LDS church.   Joseph Smith also touched on this subject.  We do not discuss in detail whether Joseph Smith practiced polygamy and eternal marriage or not but rather look at what the scriptures actually say about marriage and it's purpose.  Included is a brief history of Jewish or Hebrew marriage traditions and how they relate to scripture as well as Restoration history and how the idea of Eternal Marriage was introduced.     Finally we look at the purpose of marriage at about the 1 hour mark.

Baptism in restoration culture has been associated with joining "the true church".  We even have a prayer we say while laying hands on a person after the water baptism often referred to as "the confirmation" confirming one a member of "the church".  The Book of Mormon  adds depth and understanding to the act of baptism.  It connects it on a very deep yet simple level to repentance.   Baptism is often looked at as an act that "saves you" and allows you entrance into the Kingdom of God.  There are various views among different christian organizations as to what baptism actually is. Is it  necessary or not?   Is it an afterthought, a choice, a commandment?   Does it save you?   The additional clarity that comes from the Book of Mormon leaves no room for misunderstanding.  Baptism doesn't save you, repentance does, by allowing the blood of CHRIST to wash you clean.  Baptism is the first fruit of that repentance.

New evidence continues to come forth showing the isolation doctrine we were taught is far from the truth.  Much activity took place long before Columbus "discovered" America in 1492.   As artifacts and other evidence comes forth we can see that people many more peoples visited the Americas from the eastern hemisphere then we were taught in school growing up.   Not only were there visitors to this continent, but there was understanding of Jesus dateing long before the 1400's.   America was not as "isolated" as we have been told.

We look at the deeper meaning of the Gaddianton robbers found in the Book of Mormon.   Was this just a weird word made up by Joseph Smith ?   Also discuss the differences in the Lord's Prayer in the Book of Mormon  and different bible manuscripts.  Did Joseph Smith  make a mistake as he "created" the Book of Mormon  or is it more proof to it's divine nature?

Powerpoint notes

"AI" is a controversial subject.  No doubt it can and will be used for evil in many ways.  However it is a powerful tool and has the ability to be used for good as well.  It has the capacity to search and find answers in a number of ways that a simple "google search" cannot.   In this episode we look at AI and how it supports the Book of Mormon as an authentic work, recording the words of prophets of old.  More and more evidence of Hebrew poetry types, layers, and meanings are being discovered.  It even alludes to the ridiculousness of the idea that a young man in the late 1820's could have ever been able to produce such a work.  Join us as we discuss the tool of AI and some of the unique findings being discovered in the Book of Mormon, and, what it says about the book itself.

One of the most difficult questions to answer is how does a loving God create people who have the possibility of suffering in "hell" for eternity?   We look at the scriptures surrounding this topic, the justice and mercy of God, and the cost for allowing the creation the freedom to choose.  We see it cost this very Creator His own life.
