993: Are LDS Temples Valid? (Josh Thompson 2 of 4)

[@tombennettonemanband]

I really appreciate Josh's testimony of The Principle. Speaking myself, as a Fundamentalist with one wife, who knows many plural families; his statements are true and accurate. For those who survive this refiners fire, I've never seen more harmony and order than in their homes.

Thank you for your kind words, brother! I'm always deeply impressed and have great admiration for anyone who prayerfully receives a testimony of Plural Marriage. God bless you on your faith journey!

Good and fun stuff Thanks Josh and Rick!

[@GospelTangents]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshuathompson1357]

I’ve always been fascinated by the various faiths and beliefs. My wife cares zero about it.

[@GospelTangents]

Same for me.

[@rosastephens8966]

Ive found that each faith community , LDS non LDS, Muslim , Hindu , etc has its own, peculiar 'lingo' . When Josh was conveying how he felt about priesthood lineage and 'proper authority' in answer to your questions @ 11:21? In another faith community outside of the LDS the answer would be "I don't know. Thats God's business and on that? I simply trust God."

[@joshuathompson1357]

I would love to understand what you are saying here. Would you mind rephrasing or re-wording? :)

[@bopaintsminis]

@26:20 Anyone know where I can find this Doc & Cov formatted document?

[@GospelTangents]

The Peterson group has it. I'll see if I can get you one.

[@bopaintsminis]

@GospelTangents Do they have an email or website?

[@GospelTangents]

I will put spaces in the links here so KZbin doesn't kill the link. Here is the link for the D&C addendum I mentioned. Just take out the spaces for the link to work. If you cut it right and put the staple in the center (binding) it will fit in your LDS D&C. https: // www. christschurchthebranch. org/_files/ugd/2743ea_788ae12155d243a18718fe98001f6170.pdf Here is another set of downloads: https :// www. christschurchthebranch .org/downloads I'm sure from those links you can find the main website.

A lot of Plural Marriage pundits give me the heebeegeebees, even though I'm not against the practice (though I disagree with the authority claims of polygamist groups). However, Josh doesn't creep me out at all and I can tell he comes by all of this honestly and sincerely. Great interview, look forward to the next part.

[@joshuathompson1357]

Thank you so much for the kind words! As I'm constantly worried about not being a good man, it means the world to me!

[@ardeneberly4450]

What is the source for the period of time in which people were not ordained to the priesthood but rather "set apart" for an office only?

[@GospelTangents]

I'm pretty sure it is in Greg Prince's book, "Power from on High."

[@joshuathompson1357]

I don't recall at the top of my head, but if I recall, it was initiated in the early 1920s. Maybe that helps :)

Was President Grant a vegetarian?
