Summary
Take advantage of the amazing extra content we have TSAR.website, Help the podcast keep going and bless your life with a huge amount of incredible content by joining us.
In this Episode Andrew Skinner and Kerry explore one of the most amazing sections. They talk about what it means to be elect and what it means to gather the elect. They also speak about the role of the Joseph Smith Translation revelations in the reception of more revelation. That takes them into a discussion of agency and the Fall and the spiritual and temporal nature of creation and a Restoration perspective on that.

We are also grateful for the incredible work of Launchpad Consulting Studio who produces the podcast, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real podcast. |
| 0:13.4 | This is the podcast where we talk about things that make the scriptures real to us |
| 0:16.5 | because we believe that helps us draw more power out of them and we need all the help we can get. |
| 0:20.8 | I'm your host, Carrie Mulestein, and I'm so glad to have with me our returning guest and my |
| 0:25.8 | dear friend and someone who I view as a mentor. This is Dr. Andrew Skinner, who by now our audience |
| 0:33.9 | knows, but it has just a fantastic writer, gospel thinker, scholar, has served in many |
| 0:42.5 | positions both at BYU and in the church and is a wonderful guest on our podcast. Thanks for |
| 0:49.9 | being with us, Andy. Well, thank you. I think the viewers will divide what you say by two, |
| 0:56.4 | but that's okay. They know that you're a kind soul, and it is a pleasure and a privilege to be |
| 1:04.2 | with you and to talk about scriptures that affect us on a daily basis. Yeah, yeah, and today's |
| 1:10.2 | section is fantastic. Before we get into that, |
| 1:12.7 | maybe I can just mention, we're getting close to Easter. And of course, the Sunday before |
| 1:19.1 | Easter, April 13th is Palm Sunday. And traditionally, my wife is organized and she and I have |
| 1:25.2 | kind of hosted a big Palm Sunday walk that starts |
| 1:29.2 | here in Linden, Utah. And I'm like, usually I speak at it and she does. And I'm not going to be here |
| 1:35.6 | this year, but Dr. Skinner has agreed to be a better than a substitute to speak at that. So if you're |
| 1:43.0 | interested at all, we'll give you the details about |
| 1:45.0 | that walk at the end of the podcast because I assume our audience in New Zealand won't be coming. |
| 1:50.4 | But, and we want to say Kiaora to our faithful New Zealand listeners, but we'll give you |
| 1:58.4 | the details at the end so that you can join us if you'd like to and you'll |
| 2:01.1 | be blessed to be able to hear some teaching from Dr. Skinner. So thanks for being willing to do that. |
| 2:05.3 | Oh, thank you very much. It really is a privilege. I'm not, I'm not exaggerating when I say that. |
