  1. The Fifth World in the context of creation myths describes the present world as interpreted by several indigenous groups in the USA and Mexico. The central theme of the myth holds that there were four other cycles of creation and destruction that preceded the Fifth World. The creation story is taken largely from the mythological, cosmological, and eschatological beliefs and traditions of earlier Mesoamerican cultures.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_World_(mythology)

  3. Does answering that question also answer the question of why the church was allegedly exhibiting institutional racism against the Japanese saints? I see them as two different questions.
  4. You didn't. You wrote about the church in Brazil and quoted a statement about blacks and the priesthood. Nothing about Japan. I'll ask a third time: if the church was exhibiting institutional racism against the Japanese why send missionaries to Japan? Why?
  5. You didn't answer the question. If the church was institutionally racist towards the Japanese why send missionaries there?
  6. If the church was exhibiting institutional racism against the Japanese why was it sending missionaries there?
  7. Is this the pertinent sentence? The question then is who decides what the facts are? President Hinckley says that the facts are that no tithing was used. Huntsman says otherwise. My understanding of the case is that Huntsman would like to court to say that HIncley's statement was actually not factual, and give him his money back (perhaps that's an oversimplification). So, should the court step in and say that the leader of the church at the time had the facts wrong as to what tithing actually was?
  8. Do you think the government should step in and define tithing for the church?
  9. Opinion: In James Huntsman lawsuit, you can’t define tithing without religion If secular courts are allowed to determine what constitutes ‘tithing,’ churches will lose their ability to define their own doctrine and missions https://www.deseret.com/opinion/2023/10/18/23923010/lds-mormon-church-james-huntsman-lawsuit-tithing-definition "The fundamental question at the core of plaintiff James Huntsman’s accusations is what exactly constitutes tithing, and, crucially, who gets to make that determination." "If a court or other governmental actor answers that question, instead of the church itself, it will undermine the faith’s constitutionally-granted autonomy to define its own doctrine and teachings."
  10. This is the criteria I use to determine if I want to do something on Sunday or not. My wife and I love being outdoors. Hiking, birding, etc. But if I were to do that on Sunday it would make it feel just like any other day of the week.
  11. "Resurrection is the reuniting of the spirit with the body in an immortal state, no longer subject to disease or death." https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/resurrection?lang=eng
  12. I don't know, haven't seen it.
  13. The Tribune is in the business of selling papers (or digital advertising these days). Of course they're going to run stories that cast the church, it's leaders, and it's members in a disparaging light. Personally, I would never have heard of Tim Ballard if it wasn't for the discussion on this board. I have no real interest in LDS connected movies or other similar media. I haven't heard anyone at church talking about this. It's nothing that's on my families radar.
  14. I think it's a very natural one. I hope you could tell I was just teasing you. Your comment did seem amusingly ironic and made me chuckle.
  15. Perhaps in those moments you should think celestial
  16. Before we were married my wife belonged to Elder Haight's ward. He was there one time when I attended with her and he sat in the congregation.
  17. "Think Celestially" rolls of the tongue kind of awkwardly. While "Think Celestial" may not be grammatically perfect, i think it sounds better.
  18. I've never heard of one. From a practical standpoint it would be very daunting with the number of languages the church has published material in.
  19. The phrasing is a bit different than how we would today.
  20. I'm not sure I understand what you're meaning here.
  21. I think offend was used because someone who breaks God's law is an offender (as used in the legal sense). People have been reading it more and more as meaning that God gets his feelings hurt. I don't believe that is the correct meaning.
  22. 12 And now behold, is the meaning of the word restoration to take a thing of a natural state and place it in an unnatural state, or to place it in a state opposite to its nature? 13 O, my son, this is not the case; but the meaning of the word restoration is to bring back again aevil for evil, or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish—good for that which is good; righteous for that which is righteous; just for that which is just; merciful for that which is merciful. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/41?lang=eng
  23. I don't know. I don't think that a major change announced without the president of the church being present means that he hasn't approved it.
