Summary

We start the podcast with a discussion of General Authorities conference talks that focus on adultery. For the prize of a $50 Olive Garden gift card, we play everyone’s favorite game “Fun With Adultery” where Gerrit has to guess which decades adultery was a larger focus and which prophets and apostles spoke about the topic the most. Gerrit lost and Richard retained the $50 gift card for use in a future “Fun With _________” game. We answer a litner’s question about the change to the language used in the ordinance of baptism. We also announce the Standard of Truth Tour dates for 2025 and Richard talks about how much he is willing to pay for a great-grandchild to be named Richard Andrew LeDuc IV. Standard of Truth Tour dates for the summer of 2025: Missouri/Nauvoo - June 22nd through June 28th Palmyra/Kirtland – August 3rd through August 9th Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠[email protected]

0:00.0	Welcome to the Standard of Truth podcast. In this podcast, Dr. Garrett Dirkmont and Professor Richard
0:07.8	Leduc, explore the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the

0:36.9	Hi, welcome to another episode of the Standard of Truth podcast.

0:48.0	Professor Richard Ladook.
0:50.3	Oh, thanks, Garrett.
0:51.3	That is high praise indeed.
0:53.2	I think in the last episode, we talked about adultery and, thanks, Garrett. That is high praise indeed. I think in the last episode, we talked about adultery and that is that an unpardonable sin as it relates to exaltation. And I believe that you answered that very well by finding different sources, mainly the doctrine covenants, that suggested that you shouldn't do it.
1:14.9	Again, we'd like to refer people to President Hinckley's 1991 April conference address.
1:20.3	Shouldn't do it.
1:22.0	But that repentance is available for those folks.
1:26.6	And that it sounds like that topic got your wheels spinning over there a little bit.
1:32.2	It sure did.
1:33.6	As I was looking in terms of like how many times have,
1:38.3	has adultery been mentioned in general conference where people are talking about not committing it?
1:46.5	Are they ever talking about not committing it. Are they ever, are they talking about committing it's fine? I mean, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. So,
1:52.2	so, so I went back, looked from, we've got our crack research staff all over this one.
