⚠️ Apostolic Warning: The Truth About 'Things As They REALLY Are'

[@TheWordsofChrist]

This talk is being shared in response to a recent social media post by Elder Bednar, where he encouraged all members to review this talk before November 3rd. On that date, he will be presenting an updated version of this message (Version 2.0) to the world. You can find the link to Elder & Sister Bednar's video message here below. facebook.com/share/v/pKzfjTc31LUtBATW/

read it very carefully

[@Ritercrazy]

Wow. Obedience is the weapon of this generation. Love it.

[@ProudGator1973]

This is an amazing example of Prophets see around corners. This is 15 years ago. Elder Bednar was inspired at that time and as you listen to it you'd almost think that this was an address he gave this year. Very interesting that he is encouraging us to watch it before Nov. 3rd, when he will present an updated version. Can't wait. So grateful to live when we have living apostles and prophets on the earth

[@bwest-xbbx]

I'm always amazed at how the Lord continues to reach out to me even when I have somewhat fallen away and have become inactive in the church. I was a top contributer in second life for a few years around the time he gave this speech. This is my first time listening to it though, I seen his recent social media post and wanted to find this talk but actually forgot to and then it just pops up and to find out how personal this message is for me is amazing. Thank You.

[@nuthintoprove]

Virtually every word of this talk is priceless. It never occurred to me that taking risks when I was young, just to be cool, was disrespecting my body and breaking the word of wisdom. I wish I had a better memory so I could memorize this whole talk.

[@itsgoodforthesoul9749]

You can print it out and start a binder of the talks that stand out to you. You are a beautiful soul who has a lot of experience to help guide others to steer away from things they need to avoid. And you are positioned toward the Savior!

[@ren2684]

I think that if you can take some things/hobbies with measure they can be good,,,nothing in this world is black or white

[@theshawfamily7954]

This is a most remarkable message and sadly most people will miss it because of what he highlighted in it. Technology is wonderful if used correctly and in moderation. Where we can now see somebody across the globe because of it, we must recognize that devoting hours to technology takes so much away from our personal journeys to being with our Heavenly Father. These are troubled times and they are going to get worse. Those who have been reserved for these times and for those ahead are truly the warriors of Helaman’s day. As the Apostle mentioned, because much has been given, much will be expected. Let us, one and all, remain steadfast and stay true to the covenant path and the iron rod. God bless you all.

[@TheWordsofChrist]

You will note in the pinned comment that Elder Bednar will share a 2.0 version of this talk because technology has changed this next Sunday. NOV 3, 2024

[@karylmorgan7320]

Did you know he has a follow up talk on Nov 3. 2024, another apostolic warning.? This is 15 years later and the misuse of technology are so much worse.

[@timjones747]

You are right, the Message is remarkable! The 2000 stripling warriors were few in number compared to the rest of the armies of men they fought against. Just like now there might seem to be few people remaining faithful to their covenants we have the enormous power of Heavan behind our youth, and they know it! I love this message, and I take hope in knowing that I need to work on my personal relationship with the savior Jesus Christ and I can help prepare for his coming by keeping my covenants and serving people who need to be served. I can only do my part, and I find solace in the fact that all of the calamity that seems to be happening in the world is not my problem to fix. Even though the media wants me to get discouraged and frustrated I can be joyful in Christ and be my best self for the right reasons at the right time.

[@YmeTwo]

All must listen to this, and learn God's words

[@TheWordsofChrist]

Thanks for encouraging others to listen to the words of Christ as spoken through His servant Elder David A. Bednar

[@royhunter8128]

This is a timely council. All should listen and study and apply this direction

[@chijako7990]

Reminds me of the humbling I received during this last General Conference about doom-scrolling

[@jericox2980]

Thank God for the atonement! So many of us choose to learn thru experience.

[@stevenchase8124]

One of the most important talk, I ever heard. Please share this talk with your love ones ❤

[@KaiJames44]

This is fantastic. I pray that it gets dispersed throughout the whole world as soon as possible.

[@carolanderson2773]

Absolutely a needed Word. Thank you so much.

Thank you Elder Bednar for this insightful warning we all need to heed.

[@Lazareth-hr2im]

I appreciate Elder Bernard’s frankness about cyber space and some of the activities that go on there! Thank you Elder Bednar for your strength and willingness to speak the truth

[@sal4gal]

Thank you so much! This is a precious talk. In this case, I am blessed by technology to hear this talk 15 years later. ❤

[@itsgoodforthesoul9749]

Idk when this talk was given. I clicked to listen and when he said “Brothers and Sisters, I love you.” It struck my heart and encircled it with such a warmth it was incredible. I wasn’t expecting that feeling. Just a reminder: we are STILL that rising generation. We were told this when I was a teen and that hasn’t changed just because I am older. All of these blessings still apply to us adult type folk 😊

[@TheWordsofChrist]

I felt the same when I heard Elder Bednar too. You can clearly tell he cares and is genuinely trying to help and bless our lives by pointing us to Christ.

[@ktlummus7977]

Excellent message and powerful words

[@billbliss2500]

Such a Powerful servant and apostle of the Lord.

[@makehetutu5107]

Thank you for this talk, help the world to live accordingly, otherwise. It really gave us, the world something to think seriously about it, because time is at hand and we need to help others know that we have to live according to his words from our leaders. I love this talk.

[@faithsala4063]

I love this talk because it's so true! I'm so grateful for apostles prophets who warn us and help us to be happy

[@jeffwilson4693]

Well done, Elder Bednar.

[@brianmaloney091]

Wonderful talk urging caution.Thankyou for sharing this.

[@TheWordsofChrist]

Thanks for sharing your support.

[@stephensuter7242]

I am glad I listened to this! A great reminder that all of the challenges and issues he discusses - are even greater today!

[@confusedwhynot]

This also happens when you put work and self above those you love. When you take no time to focus daily on those you love it is just like disconnecting into a digital world.

[@R.Hinchman]

“Righteousness” will prevail, indeed!

[@MartyWilbanks]

Help us heed the warning our lord Jesus Christ. Amen .

As we gather Israel on both sides of the veil, and help all nations of the world to be adopted into the Family of Israel, Let’s remember the those who have kept their covenants. The story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and the people of Zarahemla offers a powerful lesson on compassion, covenant, and unity amidst conflict. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies, having forsaken violence and buried their weapons as a symbol of peace, found themselves vulnerable as refugees amidst a raging war. When they approached Zarahemla seeking refuge, they were welcomed not only with open arms but were given the city of Jershon-a remarkable example of generosity and love that met both their physical and spiritual needs. As we reflect on this story, it is clear that the decision to support the refugees wasn’t universally accepted. Many feared and resented this generosity, leading to internal tensions and even efforts to overthrow the government to rid the refugees from their lands. This clash between selfless covenant and self-serving power echoes throughout history and holds relevance for us today. The Come Follow Me lesson on Moroni and the Title of Liberty highlights this very contrast. Captain Moroni’s actions exemplify the strength that arises from covenants, as he rallied the people around principles of faith, family, and freedom. His call to defend these principles stood in opposition to those seeking power at any cost, illustrating that true strength and protection come when we embrace unity and commitment to bearing one another’s burdens. In this way, we see the powerful promise that God stands with those who covenant to care for the vulnerable and oppressed. Just as the Lord strengthened the 2,000 stripling warriors in their defense of their families and faith, we are invited to covenant with Him to bear each other’s burdens, trusting that He will stand with us. This story encourages us to evaluate our own commitments to help those in need, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and to find courage in a united stand for peace and compassion.

Look around today and see the truth in this talk.

[@connieeicher]

Thank you for this important talk!

[@TheWordsofChrist]

I look forward to his talk later today which Elder Bednar said will be version 2.0 or updated for our current times.

[@Nonvido]

This is whybit is so extremely important to our salvation to have modern-day priphets and appostles. Past prophets and apostles could NOT have guided us, from the past, about the dangers of today.

[@3RI6UY0]

I will never be okay with the thought of existing for eternity, I dread it in fact. I want it to eventually end. But we don’t get that choice. We can’t escape that matrix.

[@TheWordsofChrist]

You are an eternal being living in a physical body, and yes, you can't escape who you are-a literal son or daughter of God. If the thought of living forever feels daunting, begin living according to that knowledge today, and in time, you will no longer dread it.

[@margievance4073]

The prophets of old saw the latter days. The scriptures, more specifically the Book of Mormon, provide answers to life challenges. God requires a contrite spirit and humility. Daily prayer will help us to hold on tight to the iron rod. The Savior paid with his life for our sins through his atonement.

[@nevelsjohn]

This counsel is critical today as AI has become more and more 'intelligent' and as LLM's become more and more sophisticated and convincing.

[@youngmeezy7113]

Dam. . .this was 2009. . .life now is 100× worse💔😢

[@TheWordsofChrist]

Watch the language please ...

[@karylmorgan7320]

You obviously didn't listen to the talk. He is warning of the excesses of everything including gaming, technology, social media, etc. He proclaims the value of technology several times. He is giving an apostolic warning about the excesses and evils one can get involved with using it. On Nov 3, 2024 he will follow up with a new apostolic warning . Issues of excess are so much worse now 15 years later. You have your agency not to listen to him but at your own peril.

[@hyrumnielsen4390]

Pay $20/month and stop complaining. I never see any ads. Well worth it.

[@madoldcoot8563]

I have been enjoying the talk and I’m not opposed to you making money including ads however why do you have them during the talk? It spoils the spirit of the talk. Have them at the beginning or at the end but please stop playing ads during the talk. I’m watching on chrome cast so I can’t block them.

[@TheWordsofChrist]

Again as already stated several times on this comment thread the KZbin channel is NOT monetized. Which means I don't make any more nor do I control any ads that might be shown. KZbin is in the business of making a profit and they will place ads on videos. If you spend much time on KZbin you'll notice ads are shown on all video content.

[@madoldcoot8563]

@@TheWordsofChristso why are there channels with no ads?

[@TheWordsofChrist]

Check the channels with this URL. I watch lots of KZbin videos without ads, but ads are how KZbin makes money. As a channel grows, ads are likely to appear. www.lenostube.com/en/channel-monetization-checker/

Sorry about the ads and I won't ever monitize this channel. The words of christ are not for sale. KZbin has shared this talk for profit and since they own the platform nothing can be done about it.

Not one ad for me. Pay for the KZbin that doesn't have ads and you don't have to worry about it.
