Thank you.

Greetings. Welcome to the fighting line coming to you from our mobile command center, which is melting actually just realize if we had started 45 minutes ago, it would have been a winter wonderland big massive snowflakes and lots of them were coming down and I had seen a possibility of up to two inches of snow in the forecast a couple days ago anyways.

It was starting to stick it really was and then it stopped I see some blue skies to the.

Okay, I'm not sure which direction it is that way and the sun's come out and it's I can't see the temperature is that say it's in the 50s already.

I don't know but pretty much everything has already melted I see water coming off top my unit here and the what the all the roofs were white literally 45 minutes ago and it's all melted off.

Pretty weird you got to understand I'm from Phoenix and it's really interesting for Phoenicians to see snow even briefly.

And that's has nothing to do with Al Gore whatsoever I was watching some videos of Al Gore from like in 2009 saying to buy 2013 we'd have ice free summers in the in the Arctic.

And of course our children wouldn't know what snow looked like and everything else and I believe they still have record snow accumulation even now in the mountains of California.

And the ski resorts and all sorts of stuff like that are still open and all of that so but it's not changing anything they're still getting away with wasting trillions and trillions of dollars and destroying businesses and economies and everything else it's pure politics if you haven't figured that out yet sorry but it's so obvious that it's amazing but we are here in the cedar city Utah.

Spoke the southern Utah University last night on scripture liability really want to say thanks to the young lady.

Pastor Wade or senior and I pastor Wade is the pastor of apology is church playing Salt Lake in his family came down actually stayed the night because I'm speaking in this evening to record the event and past Jason Wallace and his son are down from Salt Lake as well stay the night.

And so we're speaking I was speaking seven Utah University and tonight Jason are going to have sort of a dialogue discussion concerning Bart Irman because Bart Irman is the favorite English speaking critic of Christianity for Muslims Mormons atheists you name it they all love quoting Bart Irman if they don't understand what they're quoting.

And so we're going to be talking this evening again at southern Utah University on that subject it was interesting I happen to notice this time I'm not sure if it was there last time I probably was but I still notice it but there was a sort of a round couple of type.

I don't near the building and from the direction I was walking anyways I can see it's a shake spear was in there I think we saw was in there's a Jefferson was in there but they had Plato Socrates and Aristotle as well I use it as an illustration concerning the fact that we have significantly higher confidence.

Even from a secular perspective in the wording of the New Testament and the actor see this transmission over time then we have for anything that Aristotle or Socrates or Plato wrote and my thought it was really interesting to see that on campus in southern Utah can't imagine that bring him young ever really.

Brigham Young could not have imagined Utah in 2023 I don't think Bruce McConkey could have imagined Utah in 2023 to be honest with you if you're not familiar with Bruce Humbert Conkey was in the possible Mormon church back in the 70s and the 80s I forget what he died mid 1980s I think he also to book called Mormon doctrine which obviously for a lot of us was a go to resource.

For many many years though I remember very clearly that it did not take long after McConkey's death or even your rather mill more missionaries to be willing to disagree with things that McConkey said in Mormon doctrine a lot of the resources that we just.

Relied upon back then doctrines of salvation by Joseph Fielding Smith the more important doctor articles of faith still has a.

Position of authority I suppose in some sense but.

I just I wonder how many more missionaries that I would talk to today have actually read a marvelous work and wonder or any of those types of again standard sources back in those back in those days.

Things have changed now see the city of courses in southern Utah which is significantly more conservative but you've got southern Utah University and so you.

You have the clash taking place here that is one of the things that we need to be talking about today and that is the.
