Episode 47 (Dec. 2-8): "God Is Love"

-
Who wrote the epistles of John? What is so unique about the epistle of Jude?  If you could use two words to describe God, what would they be?  Has any man seen God?  We discuss all these questions and more in this week's episode.

One of the sources I quote heavily in this episode is the New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual.  However many of the quotes I used are not in the fancy online version.  They can only be found in the print or online PDF versions of the manual.  Go figure!  Here's a link to the PDF:

This week we talk about Michael and Satan fighting over the body of Moses in Jude 9.  Where did that story come from?  Short answer: we don't know.  Longer answer can be found at https://www.gotquestions.org/Michael-Satan-Moses.html






Did you enjoy the clip from TSS Episode 4?  Here's the list of times where man has seen God:

Has anyone seen God?
Genesis 32:30, Jacob "I have seen God face to face"
Exodus 33:11, Moses "And the Lord spake to Moses face to face as a man speaketh to a friend"
Isaiah 6:5, Isaiah "for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts"
Acts 7:55-56, Stephen "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
1 Nephi 1:8-11, Lehi "he saw the heavens open, and he thought he saw God sitting upon his throne"
D&C 137:1-3, Joseph Smith "the blazing throne of God, whereon was seated the Fatherand the Son."


In this episode I share one of my favorite songs that 1 John 4:4 reminds me of: Greater by MercyMe.  Here's the lyric video!

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Listen to Episode 5, Part B here. I loved Episode 5 SO MUCH, but I just couldn't go on without talking about John the Baptist, Jesus' Baptism, the Pharisees, and Vipers.  So here it is- a rushed rundown of Christ's baptism and an outtake from the original Episode 5 wherein I describe the various sects of Ancient Israel and fun with snakes. (Photo "Joy" from Reflections of Christ https://reflectionsofchrist.myshopify.com/ ) John the Baptist, Bible Dictionary: Son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, being of priestly descent through both parents. This lineage was essential, since John was the embodiment of the law of Moses, designed to prepare the way for the Messiah and make ready a people to receive Him. He was the outstanding bearer of the Aaronic Priesthood in all history and was entrusted with its most noble mission.
