@rotkapchen@PeacemakingSt@superdavemartin I think the original words make more sense. If you wanted it to make sense to my brain the line would need to be ‘As he lived to make men holy, let us live to make men free.
Worth noting that every single member of the Senate GOP freaking out about Iran...

Incredible
People often inquire about the exact time of the Second Coming.
While we cannot know that (see Matthew 24:36), what if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If you knew that you would meet the Lord tomorrow—through premature death or through His unexpected coming—what would you do today?
As Jesus taught in His prophecy of the Second Coming, blessed is the “faithful and wise servant” who is attending to his duty when the Lord comes (see Matthew 24:45–46).
“Wherefore,” the Savior tells us, “be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom—For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I come quickly” (Doctrine and Covenants 33:17–18).
Jesus Christ lives. I testify that He shall come, as He has promised.
Stacker forgets that I already left the Lord’s Church.
I already walked that road.
I already discovered that no man does it as well as the Lord. No man. Without exception.
That is why I came back.
Not because every problem in the historical record suddenly vanished. No. History itself is fractured. That much is certain.
And I say this not as some armchair expert pretending to be intelligent online, but as an actual credentialed historian.
Professional historians widely agree that the historical record is incomplete, biased, selective, politically shaped, and constantly revised. That is not controversial. Recorded history is not pure truth preserved untouched through time. It is fragments of truth filtered through imperfect men, institutions, agendas, memory, corruption, and power.
Of course, I didn’t know this at the time. I wasn’t a historian yet.
So why did I come back, when I once believed the Church was false and the historical record had “clearly” proven it?
Because the Lord Himself condescended into my darkness and pulled me out of it.
Whether that experience was fully literal, fully spiritual, or something in between, I cannot perfectly say. “Whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth” (2 Corinthians 12:2–3).
All I know is this:
When I awoke the next morning, lying on my back and staring upward into heaven, I knew I had been wrong.
I could not yet explain why. I did not suddenly possess answers to every historical question. I simply knew — with terrifying clarity — that the Lord wanted me back.
And what kind of fool ignores that?
Stacker wants to call it a drug-induced delusion. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. But whatever it was, my mind was clear, my heart knew what needed to be done, and I returned.
And here is the part people never seem to understand:
My witness did NOT come immediately.
For many months I served the Lord with full commitment while still internally wrestling with whether it was all true. I lived the Gospel before I fully knew.
Then eventually, the witness came.
Not while intoxicated.
Not during emotional frenzy.
Not during blind ignorance.
But months later, sober-minded, while genuinely seeking truth; on my knees, beside my bed, not able to fully comprehend what was happening. But it was glorious. And I cannot say more.
And once that witness came, every former doubt collapsed beneath it.
Since then, the Lord has led me through law school, through my MEd, and into the professional study of history itself — disciplines that sharpened my ability to evaluate primary sources, identify unreliable witnesses, recognize institutional bias, and separate evidence from assumption.
Ironically, men like Stacker believe they are “following evidence,” while often beginning with the conclusion and filtering everything through it afterward.
Today we possess more tools for discovering truth than at any point in human history. Vast archives. Digitized records. AI-assisted analysis. Linguistic reconstruction. Archaeology advancing yearly.
And slowly, piece by piece, the picture becomes clearer.
I testify that Jesus Christ lives.
I testify that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His Church.
And I testify that spiritual witnesses from God are more reliable than the shifting conclusions of men.
The evidence will continue emerging. It already is. Bit by bit, year by year, the world inches closer to truths it once mocked.
And one day, the honest in heart will realize that God was telling the truth the entire time.
Of this I testify, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Mic drop moment from a prominent doctor to Democrats that changes EVERYTHING and destroys their biggest argument:
"If abortion is healthcare, my question is: what disease are you treating?"

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.
This bill AB 2624 will:
- Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
- Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential
- Take away freedom of the press from journalists
- Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)
This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.
My daughter found this monstrosity in her Dorito bag today.
It is thicker than a giant's toenail and surprisingly hefty.
My kids dared me to eat it.
I told them if this post gets 1,000,000 likes...
I will eat the whole thing, and post a video as proof that I kept my word.
