Doctrine Covenants 88 is God saying, you don't comprehend all things, but you can. I want you to. I'm going to help you do this. In that light, who wouldn't want to obey the laws of God? Yeah, the laws of God are just understanding how things work. And so we follow the laws of God because he has more knowledge than we do and we want to get to where he is. Focus on that. And everything's going to work out well, you'll be preserved, you'll be perfected, you'll be sanctified by the same, and

achieve. than we do, and we want to get to where he is. Focus on that, and everything's going to work out well. You'll be preserved, you'll be perfected, you'll be sanctified by the same, and achieve what the father's trying to do with us. Love people and help people. Most people are aware, at least on a rudimentary level of the teachings of Jesus Christ, but they just don't follow them. And that creates the turmoil that we see in the world. We get the big picture.

Our day-to-day life becomes easier to manage and figure out. Hello, Scott. Hello, Casey. Welcome

back to Part 2 of Section 88. With Section 88, there is just so much content that we didn't know if we could fit it all into one episode. And so we did the

context and content. And now we're going to do the controversies and the consequences. And the

other thing I got to say is sometimes the controversies are like, well, how do we know Joseph Smith

was in this place at this time? Sort of historical controversies?

There's no, like, little historical things in Section 8.

It's all big, huge ideas, cosmology, theology, big, big ideas.

If you missed context and content, go back and check out our previous episode,

then come join us over here.

Music go back and check out our previous episode, then come join us over here. Where to begin? You've raised some good questions, and I want to cue you up for one that I think will be really meaty.

So Section 88 talks a lot about law, law in different kingdoms, celestial law, terrestrial law, t-lesial law.

But this goes back to a basic question that sort of exists in all scripture, which is, is God the author of the law?

Or is God subject to the law?

Does the law exist independent of God?

So how would you answer that question? What's the

relationship between God and law? Yeah, that's such a good question. And no revelation in the

doctrine and covenants hits this as square on, as does Section 88. Just do a word search, for instance,

and you'll see in this revelation, like how many times

the word law comes up. I mean, for this question, I'm drawn to verse 42 that says, and again,

Verily I say unto you, he hath given a law unto all things by which they move, their times,
