#Christianity #LatterDaySaints

Oliver Cowdery:

"What joy! what wonder! what amazement! While the world was racked and distracted—while millions were groping as the blind for the wall, ... our eyes beheld, our ears heard"

(Messenger & Advocate, 1834; also in JS–History)

#ChurchofJesusChrist #LatterdaySaints

was conversing with some community of christ members this morning. the church sends out a scripture based message every day that we go over it together.

sometimes we don't even get to it and discuss something else.

i brought up that I and some other progressive #LatterDaySaints believe and interpret from the D&C that Emma was ordained and had all the keys to the Priesthood. and a lot of them were like "yes, she had the keys and was ordained."

i stand by that, and propagate it.

@religion

as #LatterDaySaints we also think scripture can evolve, but we have a specific process for that, and it's much more complicated than challenging things that are tradition (within our religious framework).

one thing we that was talked about is "who can participate in, and serve communion" and "what is the role of women in the church". both things that are limited/were limited in our religion. both heavily influenced by tradition.

@religion

as well as that we must take an active role in making the Church and the #Christian community (and in our specific case the #LatterDaySaints / #Mormons, hence pulling in the Book of Jacob) instead of waiting in expectance for fruit and then cutting it down without trying to make it a healthier/more fruitful place.

God will help us, but i don't think God will do it for us. we have agency and must use it and take action. this goes for a lot of things

this as a part of building Zion. a peaceful world where there is no oppression or poverty, the way the Lord intends, as written in Isaiah and the #DoctrineAndCovenants

I feel many of you in spirit today 💜

#LatterDaySaints and #Mormons of all kinds, what are you reflecting on today?

happy church founding anniversary to all #LatterDaySaints

may you have a blessed day. continue to live the spirit of the restoration and continue the work of bringing about God's peaceable kingdom on earth as we are tasked to do as Saints. (should that be something you desire. moral agency and all)

let us be open to further revelation from God. and in all things we do, let's do it in love.

@religion

but i certainly don't expect other #LatterDaySaints or #Mormons to see it how i do. just putting my perspective out there. most people can consume caffeine responsibly. i just have no plans of being chemically dependent on stimulants again (excepting ADHD script).

strong drink is discouraged, but that doesn't mean no alcohol. barley drinks (like beer) and i think wine are okay. i take this in the spirit of not binging on alcohol or drinking for the purpose of reaching drunkenness.

Did you know that the Mormons partnered with the Mob to build Sin City? No wonder they are the richest religion here in the US! #mormon #latterdaysaints #LasVegas #sincity

one great thing about being #mormon (broadly speaking not specifically the LDS church) is the proclivity to socialism.

early #LatterDaySaints lived collectively and had communes.

bring it back. obviously not in the exact same way, but let's go.

(i don't want to live in a theocracy and do not advocate for those. but radical resource sharing? count me in.)

@jewterpretor It's okay! Actually, a lot of what modern neopaganisms inherited from the ceremonial magic traditions was, ahem, *heavily inspired* by Freemasonry. It's why I always feel like #LatterDaySaints are my spiritual cousins.
