Hard Questions in Church History with Lynne Hilton Wilson: Week 46a (D&C 129-132, Nov 8-14)

[@lindaj5768]

Thank you Sister Wilson! You validated a healing the Lord commanded me to give to my small son who was reallying in pain. Nothing I did could ease his pain until I prayed for guidance and the Lord told be to give my son a blessing. At first I refused because I did not have the Priesthood but He said again to give my son a blessing. I humbly obeyed and within 10 minutes he was fast asleep with no further troubles for the rest of the night and the next day. I have been waiting years to know if I did the right thing. Thank you!!!

Excellent presentation. Thank you for your scholarship and for sharing your learnings!

What an amazing presentation. I've enjoyed all of your talks since I found this channel. But I've been extremely interested in this subject when it was mentioned in another video. I ordered a book back in November that was recommended from a video, but it's taking an extremely long time getting to me. I cried when I heard about your son. I'm impressed that this was used even so very recently. Thank you, thank you so much for this. And thank you so much for all of your talks.

2nd time viewing this marvelous presentation. Truly our women are a special gift to the sons of God and the world. My wife and I are 83, she has advanced stages Alzheimer’s disease, she is an invalid in the Nursing Home. She is my life, an elect lady and a wonderful person. She made our house a home. She made me a better person. She always gave me wise counsel. I visit daily when allowed and feed her when allowed. Thank you sister. Brother Ron

Thankyou for this message. I want to let you know that healing by women is being done in the church by Christ's power. 🙏✋🤚 .

Hence the continuation of the restoration of the gospel. We live in mortality. Where nothing and no one is perfect, but where we are encouraged to work towards perfection. “If we says we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

Thank you Sis Wilson. I always learn some new concept or some new way of looking at ideas already known. We know how hard you work on these podcasts and we really appreciate it.

I remember listening to one messianic rabbi's lecture about that particular verse in the New Testament where it says women should remain silent and he gave an interesting perspective within the historical contest. In the early church the idea of a man and a woman being equal in Christ was revolutionary. For centuries most of the women didn't have access to education and were illiterate. As a result when this new idea was introduced and women were allowed to study scriptures and doctrine for the first time, lots of them had questions. So when they had a preacher teaching at the church, women couldn't stop asking questions, meanwhile to men who were more educated, those questions seemed to be too basic. Thus, the apostles advised women to refrain from asking questions at church (remain silent) and allow a preacher/teacher teach his lesson, but the men in the Christian households were given a responsibility to teach their women basic Gospel doctrine and principles instead. It shows that the intend was not necessarily to silence women, the intend was to organize early church lessons efficiently. Never that verse should have been interpreted as it was later during Dark Ages.

When my son was having extreme issues in his life,hi wanted to give him a mothers blessing (no father in the home). Incredulous, he told me that women can't give blessings because they don't have the priesthood. I replied don't women certainly could give a mother's blessing, just as a km an could give a fathers blessing, He refused. The prejudice by priesthood holders in the church is still very strong against women giving blessings, even I'm mother Is blessing. It saddens me greatly, when the scriptures are very clear that the gifts of the Spirit follow ALL those who believe.

From Diane Quist - Lynne I have a question about the “keys”. I know the Prophet has all of the keys but when he gives keys to someone else - how does that work? Is it just by him saying it? Does he lay hands on their head? Is just automatic when he gives them?
