2 Nephi 1:115 (RAV) “Adam fell, that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."
Excuse you. EVE made that choice. Adam is a follower.
"Eve (and Adam ig...) fell that humankind might be; and humankind is, that they might have joy."

what are your thoughts? i trust you here because singleness is typically the preferred action over here and those are the options in my dilemma. pursuing friendship with potential of pre/marital commitment or pursuing friendship only and remaining single
i am #sideA #queerChristian #SSAchristian #LatterDaySaint i think #sideB would have better input on this
i don't want to be told "this is stupid." i have many many reasons, much (not all) of them not #internalizedHomophobia

also. they really should pick up on the #LatterDaySaint thing. why are you showing me the type of protestants that wouldn't like me based on that alone.
i do have a history of watching saints unscripted (i know, i know. but when they talk about us (#RLDS / #CommunityofChrist) i tell the truth in the comments. bc they don't do diligent research. or talk to us apparently.")
but that would be #LDS (L-dS) content still. it also sends me academic christian material, which does peak my interest.

talk i'm writing: "me and my roommate at the residential psychiatric facility were just like Ammon and Lamoni (but this time they're both anorexic)"
unhinged

a recently baptized brother just told me i was "probably the coolest saint [he has] ever met."
that right made my day. i hope my influence is a good one.

I wrote some poetry while at church camp. There was a session done by a brother who is a writer, and he focused on Villanelles and Sonnets. This is a quasi-Villanelle with artistic liberities taken.

this sister in the zoom group i was in has a lithograph accurate portrait of joseph smith jr. like girl...
i have to try really hard not to look at him in meetings but his face takes up more space than hers. and is unblinking.
i barely notice the temple on the other side.

CW: religion
bonus surprise: WC is putting the other missing/removed sections back in. no more scriptural memory hole!
it means a lot to me for the church to recognize that as a mistake. my current D&C only has the number and is like, "section was moved to the appendix in X year and the appendix was removed in Y year" so you know something was there but have to really research to know what it was

@religion
is someone available to look over my talk/sermon? it's last minute and i have to send it in about 2 hours. it's on #RacialJustice.it uses the #BookOfMormon jsyk, also the Bible , Matthew 15: 21-28.
i'm a layperson and still developing confidence in my interpretation and usage of scripture. the audience is mostly older white people, but not exclusively. the audience is important to know for any message.

i suppose it's okay to have a christian email sign-off for emails at Temple School. still feels weird to do in a school context.
though, that also means i can have a email signature of "Onward to Zion!".

you are welcome to join a service with the Beyond the Walls congregation today.
just getting started. the topic is the Enduring Prinicple of Worth of All Persons. that's one of my favorites. A wonderful way to embody Christ is to advocate and proselytize the principle that ALL people are of worth, and the need to lift up and listen to the marginalized who are often devalued
-
heading up to mission center (stake) conference. might get the talk to my apostle. what should I ask him?
thinking something about church education. what he could do about education on restoration scriptures, church policy & doctrine.
not saying to follow the prophet and church leadership without question. but i think more adherence to what they put out would be good because congregations tend to pick up the local flavor christianity
and we are #LatterDaySaint s not evangelicals

"Fundamentally, Latter Day Saints embrace truths as they are revealed from any number of places. Our faith tradition encourages us to adapt, thrive, and grow. To be curious about the productivity of the tree, and picking up new techniques to help it grow.
We learn from the grove of trees around us. Trees different from our individual churches, but still part of the interdependent/interconnected grove that is the Body of Christ."

Section: Unity of the Saints, Chapter: Zion is an Olive Tree
"Stagnancy is out of place in our Restoration tradition. A prophetic people open to further revelation from the Divine should adapt and grow. Tradition is often valuable, and a Latter Day Saint tradition is being open to change when something better or true is presented."

i am bringing forth a book of scripture :)
it's personal scripture, but there are revelations and messages for the Saints therein. for ex.,
one of the sections is titled and speaks to the "Unity of the Saints"since i am writing the record, in a word processor rather than gold plates like #Mormon and Moroni, i have titled it "The Book of Wednesday"
as more is written and revealed i will likely share some of it.

Tonight at the Book of #Mormon Perspectives Forum we are listening to a presentation on "The One Mighty and Strong"
Gonna be real, my main understanding of that comes from the Hulu adaptation of Under The Banner of Heaven.
Time to learn some of the actual theology involved. It's Brother S. presenting again. Strangite historian I mentioned last time.

the power of the Holy Ghost is a gift to those who diligently seek the Divine.
God reveals mysteries to those who earnestly seek the truth.
this is the same now, as it was in times past,
as God is the same: yesterday, now, and forever.
Glory to God in the highest 🙏🏿
may we help each other grow spiritually and seek greater understandings

leaving my #BookOfMormon open to one of my favorite scriptures tonight.
when i wake up, there will be a gift, one of my favorite BoM scriptures, from the angel Moroni :)
or maybe even a Sept 21st 1823 type visitation. i would likely be terrified but i'm totally down.

Ruth Smith, professor and Graceland College and the wife of Fred M Smith, 3rd prophet of Community of Christ and Joseph Smith Jr. grandson, was very feminist. Love that for her and her family.
she went up to JSIII (2nd prophet, Fred M's Dad) who was officiant of their (surprise) wedding and was like "promise to not ask me to obey in our wedding vows."
JSIII was like "dw. i wasn't going to do that."
love that for both of them.

I thank God for the gifts of the Holy Spirit and for the Inspiration God bestows upon us. I thank God for Continuous Revelation.
God is the same in the Past, Now, and Forever. Therefore God speaks to us as They did in the days of old. The Heavens are Open, we just have to be open to listen.
