Summary
→ Timestamps:
(00:00) God has realistic expectations of us. We don’t have to be perfect to be saved.
(07:17) An interpretation of D&C 106.6, bowing to God’s scepter. When we choose to follow the Lord, He gives us all that He has in return.
(14:23) Section 107 is a revelation on the priesthood.
(16:19) Why Melchizedek is the model and designation for which the priesthood is named.
(30:18) The purpose of the priesthood and hierarchy is to bring God’s children home.
(33:35) The patriarchal priesthood is practiced in the home and is not hierarchal. The priesthood offices function as scaffolding to bless and build the family.
(35:27) Calling and election is discussed in these revelations, but the journey matters as much as the destination.
(39:47) Elder McConkie, “if you’re on that path when death comes…you’ll never fall off from it, and, for all practical purposes, your calling and election is made sure”.
(42:19) How Boyd K. Packer’s understanding of Section 107 influenced change in the organization of the Seventy.
(53:30) The Lord allows humans to run the church. The president of the church has the power to decide (D&C 107.79-80).
(54:52) The ascendancy of the Quorum of the Twelve in 1841.
(57:03) The restoration is ongoing. We are part of a living Church that grows and adjusts.
(59:27) The meeting at Adam-ondi-Ahman.
(1:02:13) The Pseudepigraphal Testament of Adam as it relates to the Lord’s comments in D&C 107.53-54. Joseph Smith sits in the tradition of early Christianity and their understanding of Adam’s role among the ancients.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate relevance and application |
| 0:08.0 | of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. We also dive into the history and cultures of the text. |
| 0:13.4 | Thanks for taking the time to share and subscribe to this podcast. For show notes, head over to our website, |
| 0:18.7 | talking scripture.org. |
| 0:25.2 | Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike. |
| 0:26.0 | And I'm Bryce. |
| 0:31.3 | And today we are going to be in sections 106, 107, and 108. |
| 0:36.0 | Probably the most of our time is going to be spent in section 107. |
| 0:41.1 | But we're going to be really careful because 107 is kind of the handbook for priesthood quorum. |
| 0:41.9 | And we recognize that half the people listening to this podcast really aren't concerned |
| 0:48.0 | about priesthood corums and how priesthood corums operate. |

| 1:10.2 | truths that apply to all of our lives |
| 1:12.5 | in Section 107. But let's jump into 106. I had a conversation this week with someone I deeply |
| 1:19.0 | respect who confessed that as a child, he did not read the scriptures very often and even doesn't |
| 1:25.6 | today because the scriptures make him feel guilty. |
| 1:29.5 | And I think that's a common occurrence that we believe that the scriptures are saying that |
| 1:35.2 | God expects us to be perfect. And the more we study this perfection expectation, the more |
| 1:40.9 | we feel like we don't measure up. Which is why I think it's so valuable to focus on |
