What was the purpose of the Constitution? | Book of Mormon Evidence

[@riannelson67]

It is sad that more members of the church dont seem to promote the Blessed Constitution as much as before. The coruptions in our current government seem to taint our attitude about politics. This constitution is hanging by a thread today, but there are however, wonderful members who are in the fight to save it.

This is an incredible podcast! As a lover of our Constitution, our American Founders, and Ezra Taft Benson, I appreciate the simplicity that you brethren have laid out for our founding principles, and our obligation to fight for freedom and righteousness in our day. We need to study those who we elect to represent us and keep their feet to the fire. If we dont even know our constitution, how will we chose righteous representatives?? Our system of goverment is God directed and inspired and has been a tremendous blessing to the world. I really appreciate the correlations with the BOM. Human nature never changes. Thankyou!

The mouths of our prophets may be closed as we Latter-day Saints today would not be ready to receive their words. That is an amazing thought that Lee and Rod discussed at minute 19.

As I was reading Isaiah I had gained additional insight upon a matter and was excited to share what I had learned on fast Sunday during fast and testimony meeting. While I was up at the stand I was constrained to only share a portion of what I had learned. As I pondered on the matter it came to me that the prophet and apostles have directed us in the right direction on what to do and taught us correct principles, but that they could not speak in greater plainness because many would not be able to digest it.

@@andrewdurfee3896 You're not alone. There are things I am learning at an insane rate, and I'm being compelled to hold until I know more and for enough time to pass.

Your website sold out of the "The Works of...." I can not find where they are selling it elsewhere

I’ve done some study of this subject and have found that the original constitution hasn’t been followed since about 1871 ish after the civil war the United States became a corporation and so the corporation has been ruling over this nation since then !! Their system is regulation lawyers and judges that follow the laws of men mingled with scripture !! We are no longer a republic nation which was the original intent of the founding documents. So if we are to go back to original constitution the corporation will need to step aside or be removed and if we were to return to the original constitution it would need some work as well because if you read the preamble article 1 section 2 it defines the men who would be protected under this document !! We the people doesn’t always mean all the people. 30 lines below the statement “we the people” it gives a description of the people who would not be protected under this document !! Maybe people should make a study of the haudenosaunee people (Great Lakes people) and their influence on the founding fathers and see what I have found !! That there is more to the story that’s left out because the founding fathers wanted to protect what they had !! I know nobody is perfect but we shouldn’t look at this from just one perspective !! We must look through the lens of others also to get this right !!

The Lamanites will eventually take the land back from the Gentiles. The Constitution bought God some time.

1 Nephi 14.... faithful gentiles will be numbered among them

[@irajones-w4q]

@@MelonsandMaters I agree but only the gentiles that understand Zion and proper government !! I believe the patriarch side of the church (proper keys authority) we have a decent understanding of but there are two sides to this coin a patriarch side and a matriarch side of this coin and the remnant is the matriarch side of the coin (with keys and authority) which needs to be considered to have the kingdom of god on the earth !! Right now we only have half the kingdom of god on the earth but that’s hard to hear and accept for most in the church maybe the lord bought us more time with not having the female explanation in the church !! (My own opinion of course)

Why don't good men and women in the Church seek to build Zion by serving in government both local and national positions?
