Summary

In this week’s episode, we respond to an email we received about Prosperity Theology, specifically D&C 130:20-21. We also discuss current apostate movements that claim Brigham Young has led the Church astray and Joseph Smith never practiced polygamy. We talk about a meme sent by a listener that claims Brigham Young changed Joseph Smith’s journal to justify polygamy. The links below take you to Joseph Smith’s original journal entry and the Church History record that references Joseph Smith’s journal. We also discuss that if the intention of the Church is to hide Joseph Smith’s original journal they are doing a terrible job of it by posting it on a freely accessible website. Joseph’s journal entry https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/journal-december-1842-june-1844-book-3-15-july-1843-29-february-1844/123 History of Church version https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/history-1838-1856-volume-e-1-1-july-1843-30-april-1844/118 Please visit our website at www.standardoftruth.com If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: [email protected]
