Thanks for your thoughts. Yeah there are some contradictions. My guess is this is because all we know of the…
You ask really great questions… and you nailed it: 4 June 1837 is also an extremely important day. It’s 62…
I like to call 112 the founding document of the Twelve because it tells them the keys that they had…
Thanks for sharing this. It is really interesting. #11, though is pretty strange. Didn’t Christ come to illustrate that there…
One other point. If you wanted to pick an exact point where things changed in the church, then it would…
Why would preaching the gospel in England be synonymous with giving the gospel to Israel. This doesn’t make a lot…
Yes higher dimensions are definitely in play NDE,s of LDS and other Christians show more colors and more vivid, with…
Hmm very interesting… Either way, it’s well beyond my comprehension! And then think of all the additional dimensions and possibilities…
Merry Christmas, Jack!
Immanuel kant basically said that a finite world (space) is impossible because we would see it inside some dark nothingness…
Wonderful things to think about at Christmas. I like this verse from Abraham 2: 12 Now, after the Lord had withdrawn…
Thanks. Yeah really makes you wonder what they learned during the book of Abraham translation process.
cool piece it shows W.W PHELPS believed in infinite space and Joseph in a globe and a multiverse as he…
Thanks, Jack! I always look forward to your comments.
I like your perspective–that the parable has only to do with the scattering and gathering of Israel. And that’s why…
Today is the exact middle of this pattern. See this thread here: https://x.com/mormontheories/status/1996586735061676179?s=46
Thank you! Have you had similar thoughts about the intelligences passages from the book of Abraham?
Hey, yeah let’s talk! Send me a message via the Contact page and we can chat on email. I’d love…
Yup! I think you pretty much nailed it!
Dude, we have got to sync up and chat or work together or something, sometime. I’ve been following the blog…
Listen to an audio version of this blog post/article/essay here: https://youtu.be/IblCVC6VDRs?si=bCFCmAnu7qgYUqao
Yes! It’s one of my favorite websites to explore. I interviewed the author of that site (Lance) in episode #002…
Interesting parrallels, I have never read anything from the Kolbrin before. Have you by chance read a website called gatheredin.one?…
Could be! We was certainly marred by the tarring and feathering he and Joseph took in March 1832.
“Who are the three head patriarchs of Adam’s family that you’re referring to?” I was referring to the Father, Son,…
Some historians have questioned Rigdon’s mental health at the end of his association with the Church. This revelation is probably…
Thanks, Jack! I love your thoughts here. Parables are cool because they come in a single story but are meant…
Fun stuff. Just to add–I think the structure of the House of Israel–with it’s three patriarchs and twelve families echoes…
Great points, Grant! Yeah, I still think that we have free will even though God knows what we will do.…
I believe it is the Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price where God says “all things are…
Thanks, Nicole. Good question. I’ve considered the Black Sea deluge too, and while I don’t know very much about it,…
This has been very enjoyable to read. I have been fascinated by Gobekli Tepe and humanity on the cusp of…
In support of the idea that Joseph Smith played a role to reveal more so than to gather…. In 1863,…
Ether 15:2 says 2 million, to be fair. What time are referring to? (What date?)
this is the stupidest story I’ve ever read. Something like 10 million people coming together in a final battle? Ten…
We probably shouldn’t care too much about Joseph’s or any other man’s opinions. God is the one whose words we…
The Lord God reveals things in His own time. Why should we care about JS’s opinions?
Check out these other images that match the scene of the three people before the seated figure, with some kind…
Interesting! I hadn’t thought about the floods being the one from above and the one from beneath. I like it.…
Those are great examples! I think it’s very possible that, as you said, Noah didn’t know any better. At the…
I’m going out on a limb here–but I wonder if the plural “floods” may have to do with water being…
I’m probably not the first to venture this guess, but I bet whatever flood events took place didn’t kill all…
I totally agree that it looks like a veil ceremony! The initiate with an escort coming before a god. It’s…
Facsimile 3 looks like a veil ceremony to me. I can’t get into the particulars because their too sacred. And…
In 1863, a few of Sidney Rigdon’s followers published a book wherein they expressed their belief that Sidney was the…
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! I couldn’t agree more.
This is so insanely awesome. Thank you for looking for and finding these things. This might possibly be the best…
What’s up, Rick? Tell me more.
Ah, Ryan, you are such a hoot.
I saw that traffic from that site was coming over to my blog! What a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing…

Thanks for your comment, Jack! The brief moments of totality blew me away. We definitely weren’t the only ones who…
That would’ve been such a cool sight–to be there at the Kirtland temple during a total eclipse. Thanks for sharing…
It recently occurred to me that, if true, Ezra’s Eagle describes 8 contrary feathers, whose time proves short.
Absolutely. We don’t know how time passed in the garden. We don’t know if it was even in the same…
Good thoughts on the Book of Abraham. Another interesting element that we get from his writings (IMO) is the idea…
Kevin, I am so sorry for the delay in my response. Life has been crazy busy as of late. But…
I absolutely agree with you! I believe that the saints in Mexico and other Central and South American countries are…
I wanted to add: Seeing all of the temples being built in Mexico causes me to think differently about how…
Wisdom of the ages, my friend. I remember as kid asking all the other kids what Disneyland was like–I hadn’t…
Thanks for the comment, Brian. I don’t think the flood was global (search for Noah’s flood on my blog), but…
I’m so glad you brought the moon man quote up! You’re absolutely right. Oliver B Huntington was a fascinating dude,…
Yeah, I think that is very possible! Any writer or artist or even engineer or anything like it knows that…
Oliver B. Huntington also said, according to Joseph Smith, that there were people on the moon- “The inhabitants of the…

Broc, I would love to talk more about this with you! The more information the better to help unravel the…
I Love your thoughts and articles on this stuff, especially with the Venus and morning and evening Star and names!…
I once suggested that Sherem might be a Mulekite trader. (An essay published in the old Review back in 2004.)…
Has the answer about Cain surviving the flood?
Thanks for the comment AP. I am a fan of bread and don’t think it’s all bad (I eat homemade…
It’s always great to read your comments, Jack. I still believe the end of the times of the Gentiles is…
Interesting and fun–as always. I agree that prophecy may be fulfilled in many different ways or, perhaps, many different degrees.…

For anyone interested, here is a link to a Facebook group dedicated to studying Sidney Rigdon. Feel free to join…
the book “best loved stories of the lds people” (not sure which volume) has the answer.
glad to see you are blogging 😉
Watcher! Thank you for your comment! I was actually in the process of drafting an email to you when I…

It’s truly amazing they keep finding ruins everywhere in the Americas
I hear you on that, my friend! Well, it’s a great name.
No, my nickname is one I can use without too much fear of being canceled in our all too crazy…
Here’s a quick video showing El Palenque and the ruins of the potential King Noah’s palace on Google Maps: https://youtu.be/BJDoLTuA_R8
Kibs, here is a short video I just made to show how to find the ruins of El Palenque on…
The ruins are very hard to see on a satellite image, but you can find them. It took me months…
Humm, I’m not seeing any ruins there…maybe I’ve got the wrong spot.
Look up San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca. It’s on the hill north of there. I’ll post a video in the next…
Im not finding it on the map.
Thank you, Jack! Stay tuned—here in a few days I’ll post a blog about an archaeological site that meets the…
Wow! You have a keen eye for detail. I couldn’t begin to pull of that information together. That said, I…

I am not an expert on the subject, but from what I understand, the Deuteronomist reform happened around 620 BC,…
Tiene sentido que Sherem debatiera basado en la reforma Deuteronomista?
I agree that the myths may not be proof of an actual global flood. But certainly the sheer ubiquity of…
