@jaredadairbell Jaundiced view. My wife’s a fan of the Olympics, I’ve watched some of it with her. Our chats about it are nothing you mention, except when I tell her about manic social media, which is an entirely different thing.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@jaredadairbell Got to admit I get annoyed when they do that, even when it’s teachers I think are usually great. If I listened to the same podcast, knew who they are, might be different. But if a teacher were repeatedly citing “this guy I used to know in the military” as a source of wisdom…

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@jaredadairbell Also this.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@jaredadairbell This is how the general handbook currently states it.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@Mormonger I think the real prophet was preaching about repentance before wickedness brought on destruction.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@drpeppercore Met my wife that year. He was back-fence neighbor. Sweet guy, good intent, but we all have our challenges. My MIL (RIP) thought highly of him as a kid, would have that godly sorrow to see his choices lately. Godly sorrow doesn’t give up on kids, but hoping my boy chooses right.

@actsofapostles_ We rightfully glorify the general church leaders involved, but it’s important to also remember the local members on the front line who bore the daily challenges of life and reaped the rewards of their faith. They are us; we are them.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@faithfulsakura My suggestion: Remember that faith is, in fact, faith. Remember what it is built on. And keep moving forward.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@jaredadairbell Are you friends on social media with any lawyers? I am, see some exulting & others not exulting according to their politics. But none of them criticizing the judicial process, except for some re: Judge Cannon’s trial.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@slc_saint For example, when we talk about taking on us the name of Christ, such as Mosiah 5:7-15, how is that different from being called by the surnames of our fathers? It refers to becoming Jesus’ children.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@slc_saint These verses used to confuse me when I was a kid, but Abinadi himself explains it. Consider the question in Isaiah 53:8 (part of Messianic vss. 1-12). Abinadi repeats Isaiah’s question in Mosiah 14:8 then answers it in chapter 15, focus vss. 10-13. Other scriptures say it too.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@HiMay8TAte @renegademormon @JoyfulRepenter With respect.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@HiMay8TAte @renegademormon @JoyfulRepenter You miss the option that you perhaps are not fully understanding the law of consecration; that we (generally speaking) actually are currently living it, not waiting to live it at some future date. A matter of properly defining the LOC.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@BrotherMike17 Put another way, it seems insensible to me that someone should reasonably suppose “thus saith the prophet” here is an allusion to Malachi in the future, seeing all the other more likely possibilities.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@BrotherMike17 Far too much inference, as I see it. First, Nephi’s been providing his take on Isaiah’s prophecies in the preceding chapters. But also worth pointing out the BOM mentions Zenock, Zenos, prophecies of ancient patriarch Joseph not found in Bible, etc. Not future-casting Malachi.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@jlovedog @YourDailyBOM @TheExMoCringe I think you can listen to it on the YouTube broadcast right now (I can, and this morning I clipped an excerpt to use in a gospel class tomorrow), without having to wait until it’s posted on the Gospel Library app.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@LDSdiscussions @spencerbizmktng By the same argument, being baptized and taking the sacrament are not covenants. Understand your point about verbalizing, but members generally won’t agree with you.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@StallionCornell “Supporter” is too weak a definition. Those people I know who spread the idea that church leaders’ mask / vaccine comments were evidence “even the elect could be deceived” would hold to the Iron Trump. But my family members who “support” him would listen to church leaders.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@txsalth2o Nicely done.

[Kevin Jenkins @SpectrumJenkins]

@joshnaa2gez “Never do.” Depends on which media and politicians you sustain. Just sayin’.
