In this rereleased episode, we decided to tackle one of the great hot-button historical issues of the day…well, of Joseph Smith's day anyway. We discuss the history of the Apocrypha and how controversy in Christianity led to Joseph Smith's revelation on it.

In this rereleased episode, we continue our discussion of the Apocrypha. The podcast starts with a 19th-century Latter-day Saint view of the Apocrypha. Gerrit asks Richard a question where Richard has a 50% shot of getting it right… He gets it wrong. We also read from 2 Ezras and its reference to the lost 10 tribes and Zion being built up. This all provides the context for Joseph receiving the revelation for D&C Section 91.

D&C 91 is kind of an obscure section with an underlying principle that is very relevant for our day. Thanks to @keithaerekson and his book “Real vs. Rumor” for the inspiration on this one.If you'd like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here

This Prove All Things episode explores the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, often called the “lost books of the Bible,” with special focus on the Book of Jubilees. The hosts compare these writings with Scripture, highlighting contradictions such as false calendars, added Sabbath restrictions, and myths influenced by Greek thought. They explain why Protestants, Jews, and most Christian traditions reject these texts as inspired, while still noting their historical and cultural interest.

Is the Word of Wisdom just a list of "don'ts"? What does the Lord really expect of us when it comes to what we consume, spiritually and physically? D&C 89-92 answers these questions and more, offering a powerful blueprint for health, wisdom, and eternal progression. Summary: In this episode, we'll dive deep into four brief but impactful sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. We begin with a fresh look at the Word of Wisdom in D&C 89, revealing it as a "principle with promise" for the "weak" and a shield against the "evils and designs of conspiring men." We'll explore the often-overlooked "do's" of the revelation and what it truly means to receive "health in their navel and marrow to their bones." Next, we turn to D&C 90, which outlines the ongoing mission of the First Presidency and the incredible counsel to "study and learn" from "all good books." We'll use the concept of becoming "bilingual" to understand our charge to share the gospel in a way others can comprehend. We'll also examine the humility of prophets, who are "admonished in all your high-mindedness and pride," and learn from the inspiring story of Vienna Jaques's selfless consecration. Finally, we tackle the fascinating revelation on The Apocrypha in D&C 91, which provides a universal key for discerning truth in a world of information: "the Spirit manifesteth truth." We'll conclude with D&C 92, a reminder of the mutual responsibility between new and established members to be both "received" and "lively." This is a video you won't want to miss!

When Christopher Columbus brought tobacco to Europe, it became a miracle drug. It was used for over 250 maladies (e.g., warts, asthma, ulcers, arrow wounds, toothaches, bad breath, deafness, tonsillitis, nosebleeds, epilepsy, etc.). From 1790 to 1830, alcohol consumption rose in America. Most men and some women and children drank alcohol regularly. Steven Harper recorded that in 1820, the upstate New York region near Joseph's home made a lot of corn whiskey and exported 65,277 gallons and 69 tons of beer. However, by 1830, temperance movements across the states—including a 239-member society in Kirtland—began attacking alcohol, tobacco, and other social ills (Harper, Making Sense of the D&C, 322-323). Several other food issues were discussed in local newspapers. A 19th-20th century contemporary of the Saints, Catherine Beecher, spoke against tea and coffee specifically as dangerous as alcohol. On February 1, 1833, four weeks before Joseph received this revelation, a Kirtland distillery (1819- 1833) closed due to a local temperance society's work to decrease their clients (P.H. Peterson, 13). It was part of a national organization, with the nearby larger city of Albany, NY, boasting twelve temperance societies. Joseph subscribed to local newspapers that also denounced alcohol consumption. It was a national issue, and it was on Joseph's mind. These local issues, and Emma's request, probably contributed to the Prophet Joseph's desire to learn the Lord's will on the subject. The Word of Wisdom differs from regularly published temperance society claims as it never claimed to be a cure for a list of ills, nor the cause of many illnesses (including cholera). Temperance societies also built on biblical warnings like Ephesians 5:18, that denounces excessive use of wine, or Proverbs 23:2 on gluttony (and 23:21; Deut. 21:20; Luke 21:34). Revelation in Kirtland, Ohio On February 27, 1833, Joseph met on the upper level of the Whitney's Store with a group of about 22 Saints for an institute-style class called "the school of the prophets." Zebedee Coltrin remembered that Joseph received this revelation in an adjoining room with only two or three others present, right before the school met. When he entered the school of the prophets, he had the revelation in his hand. As he began to read, all but one were using tobacco, but all put down their pipes as he read. Also at the School of the Prophets a remarkable vision occurred in which several members of the group saw Jesus Christ and/or Heavenly Father. Eye witness accounts are explored in this video podcast. Finally, information on the Apocrypha is given and Dr. Wilson goes into detail about each book including the ones she considers to be her favorite. Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson as she examines these exciting elements of Church history.

In this episode, we are discussing Skinner, secretions, well manicured men and Mulder meeting strange men in the park. That's right, we're taking a deep dive into season three episode thirteen. So get yourself oiled up and ready to go for some more myth arc.

Revelation Dates: February 27 – March 15, 1833 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 89 - Historical Background: In a small upstairs room in Bishop Whitney's store, around 22 Elders gathered tightly together to attend the School of the Prophets. The purpose of the school was to learn the mysteries of God and sacred truths in preparation for their ministry. During the meeting, the Elders would light their pipes and smoke. When the pipe tobacco was exhausted, they would bite off a large piece of chewing tobacco. This was a common practice for the day. They had not been taught their bodies are considered sanctified tabernacles. The use of liquor, tobacco, coffee, tea and other stimulants were commonly accepted. Often, when Joseph entered the room to give instruction, he would find himself in a cloud of tobacco smoke. This, along with the complaints from Emma who cleaned the spittoons and the disgusting mess on the floor, made the Prophet think upon the matter. He inquired of the Lord and received this revelation, which went far beyond tobacco, known as the Word of Wisdom. Recap: For the health and general welfare of all the saints, the Lord reveals a Word of Wisdom. In consequence of evil and conspiring men, warns them to abstain from wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks (later defined as coffee and tea). Rather, every herb and fruit should be used in the season. Meat is ordained for the use of man, sparingly. Grains is also ordained for the use of man and beast. Obedience to this warning promises health and wisdom. Section 90 - Historical Background: At this critical time of the restoration, the Lord knew his church was going into a perilous phase in its development. Over the next two years, the Lord would appoint relatively  inexperienced men to lead the church, including the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Seventy, Stake high councils, Stake Presidents and Bishops. These high offices and noble titles in the church would be a supreme test which many would fail. The Lord demonstrated a great deal of love and patience with these leaders. This section formally organizes the First Presidency who hold the keys of the Priesthood. It was shortly after this revelation was given that Joseph ordained Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams as Counselors in the First Presidency. Recap: The keys of the Priesthood are given to the First Presidency, consisting of Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams. They are to receive revelations for the entire church. The First Presidency are to set in order the church, learn and study, and continue in these offices for the remainder of their lives. There should be no pride, slothfulness or uncleanliness. Section 91 - Historical Background: At this time, Joseph was revising the Old Testament. He came across the books referred to as the “Apocrypha,” meaning “hidden,” and didn't know if they were worthy of including in the bible or were merely an appendix to the bible. He took this inquiry to the Lord. Recap: In the Apocrypha, there are many aspects which are true, but many things are not true. Therefore, they are not trustworthy to be included with the bible, nor should they be translated or revised. The Apocrypha should not be intermingled with the revelations from God. Any person led by the Spirit can benefit from the Apocrypha, but without the Spirit there is no benefit.  Section 92 - Historical Background: This revelation relates to an earlier revelation in section 82, relating to the Law of Consecration. Now the Lord wants Frederick G. Williams added to the order. Recap: As a new counselor in the First Presidency, the Lord commands Frederick G. Williams to be included in the United Order, known as the Law of Consecration.

A deep dive into the Book of Wisdom—its history, place in the Septuagint, and why Protestants reject it while often relying on the Septuagint for key apologetic arguments. What does this reveal about our view of Scripture and the canon?

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about the Apocrypha. He speaks about WHAT it is, WHERE it comes from, and the many PROBLEMS with it. He also shows how it's been rejected for the last 1500 years plus by both Christians and Jews alike. And he proves that it is the source of most Roman Catholic teachings.

The Lost Tribes were never lost. Those who left Gozan and those who settled in the mountains of the Medes left a trail of breadcrumbs that we can trace on a timeline through history by using the Bible, the Apocrypha, other auxiliary sources such as Josephus' Antiquity of the Jews, and even archaeology.

Many today are coming out of atheism and even other religions and embracing the traditional path of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Yet scripture and history warn us clearly that such is the end of all things, and many will be deceived by a counterfeit system of worship in the end posing as the will of God on Earth. Today we will look at several reasons why tradition is not the truth, because it fails the test of scripture.For the written study please go here.TIMESTAMPS:* 00:00 - Introduction* 01:43 - Disclaimer* 02:42 - Not All Traditions are Equal* 05:43 - Two Important Notes* 08:08 - Reason 1: Call No Man On Earth Your Father* 10:07 - Reason 2: Only One Mediator* 11:31 - Reason 3: Transubstantiation* 12:45 - Reason 4: The Second Birth & Baptism* 15:50 - Reason 5: No Salvation Outside the Church* 17:04 - Reason 6: The True Universal Church* 20:21 - Reason 7: The Nature of Salvation* 23:50 - Reason 8: Predestination* 27:52 - Reason 9: The Nature of Apostasy* 31:50 - Reason 10: The Afterlife* 36:43 - Reason 11: Veneration* 38:55 - Reason 12: The Nature of Prayer* 40:49 - Reason 13: Cosmology* 43:24 - Reason 14: The Apocrypha* 46:30 - Reason 15: The Climate Justice Gospel* 49:21 - Reason 16: Changing Times & Laws* 58:44 - Reason 17: The Pope* 1:01:58 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

How the Bible Was Formed E4 — In the last three episodes of this short series, we focused on the formation of the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament. We also talked about other works of literature from the Second Temple period, known collectively as the Deuterocanon or Apocrypha. Today, we'll finally explore yet another collection of Second Temple literature that was formed around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—the New Testament. In this episode, Jon and Tim look at the people in the early Jesus movement who wrote, collected, and distributed these biographies about Jesus and letters to churches across the Roman Empire.CHAPTERSThe Fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures (0:00-13:51)What the Gospels Are and How They Came to Be (13:51-25:42)The Crew Who Shaped the New Testament (25:42-47:19)The Letters That Lasted (47:19-52:35)Sacred Scribal Abbreviations (52:35-1:05:01)Conclusion to Series (1:05:01-1:08:15)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe DidacheJesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony by Richard BauckhamThe Formation and Significance of the Christian Biblical Canon: A Study in Text, Ritual and Interpretation by Tomas BokedalCheck out the The Deuterocanon / Apocrypha video series.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“at the pictures” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy Godwin “little adventures” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy Godwin “Church Pew ft.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      Ever have a moment when you don't see it and then you see it? The classic picture of an old women or a young beautiful woman depending on what you see?    Here's a more detailed look at the reasons:    1. Lack of Historical Evidence: Missing Persian References: . Some scholars questioned the book's historical accuracy, pointing to the lack of mention of the characters and events described in Esther within Persian historical records.  Not Found at Qumran: . The Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of Jewish texts dating back to the period when the Book of Esther was thought to have been written, did not include the Book of Esther, further fueling skepticism about its authenticity.  2. Theological Concerns: Absence of God's Name: . The most significant theological issue was the complete absence of God's name in the Book of Esther. This was seen as unusual compared to other books in the Old Testament.  Interpretations of Divine Providence: . While some argued that the book implicitly suggests divine providence through the actions of the characters, others felt the lack of explicit mention of God undermined its theological purpose.  3. Jewish Canon Formation: Delayed Inclusion: The Book of Esther was not included in the earliest forms of the Jewish canon, and it was debated whether it should even be included at all.  Nationalistic Pride: Some suggest that the book's inclusion in the Jewish canon was influenced by a desire to celebrate the Jewish people's triumph over Haman and to provide a sense of national identity.  4. Christian Canon Formation: Deuterocanonical Status: The Book of Esther was not universally accepted by Christians from the beginning. Some Christians, like Jerome, considered it canonical, while others, like Athanasius, classified it with the Apocrypha, a collection of books considered useful but not part of the official canon.  Influence of Jewish Canon: Ultimately, Christians largely adopted the Jewish canon, which included the Book of Esther, leading to its inclusion in Christian Bibles as well. 5. Additions to the Septuagint: Greek Version: An alternate version of the Book of Esther in Greek, which included references to God and additional passages, was also debated. The Eastern Orthodox Church uses the Septuagint version of Esther, while the Roman Catholic Church preserves the Greek additions as "Additions to Esther"   God is not mentioned in Esther ANYWHERE… SO WHERE IS HE? HE IS EVERYWHERE!     - Queen Vashti won't give it up From Vashti's defiance to Mordecai's sleepless night, seemingly random occurrences contribute to the ultimate deliverance of the Jews.     - Esthers beauty over 25 million women   - Jew chosen to be queen   - Mordecai hears about a plot   - King can't sleep and they read Mordecai's story   - Haman used like a puppet in Gods hand   - 2 parties to set up Haman's demise   - Haman's advance on queen Esther   - The Pole set up for Mordecai used for Haman   - The Jews enemies are identified and then killed due to the timing and they get the take of those they kill

 How the Bible Was Formed E2 — The Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, is a collection of 24 scrolls, passed down for generations, that tells the long, complicated story of ancient Israel. But who wrote these scrolls, and how did they come together in their final form? And how do we understand the claim that these books are the very voice of God? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the formation of the Hebrew Bible and the crew who shaped its stories, poems, and laws into intricately designed literary works.CHAPTERSThe First Writing Mentioned in the Torah (2:56-13:01)Prophets as a Spirit-Led, Multigenerational Literary Community (13:01-36:30)Divine Inspiration in a Diverse, Literary Mosaic (36:30-1:03:20)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Lost World Series by John H.

How the Bible Was Formed E1 — If you've ever compared a Protestant Bible to a Catholic Bible, you may notice some additional books in the Catholic Bible, such as Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, etc. These books, called the Deuterocanon by Catholics and the Apocrypha by Protestants, are Jewish Literature from the period after the Babylonian exile but before the time of Jesus. The Jewish people were back in the land, being ruled by Syria and other empires descended from Alexander the Great. As they read the Hebrew Bible, they created many new literary works, reflecting on stories in Scripture and what was happening in their own day. So how do we understand the status and value of these books when compared to the Hebrew Bible and New Testament? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the background, history, and content of this Second-Temple Jewish literature.CHAPTERSMultiple Bibles on the Shelf (00:00-21:10)History of the Protestant Apocrypha (21:10-34:35)How Jesus and the Apostles Engaged With These Books (34:35-43:05)Why We're Talking About the Deuterocanon/Apocrypha (43:05-57:36)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Old Testament Pseudepigrapha by James H.

Happy Easter. This podcast is for you if you need a boost in your faith.This is David Norrie, and I'll be honest with you, when I was young, maybe 10 years old, I had questions about faith and God and Jesus Christ. When I went to the people closest to me and asked "why do we believe in Jesus Christ," the answer I got was "just believe." That never sat well with me. So what better time than Easter week to sit down with my beautiful wife, who opened my eyes to the Word of God, and sit down to talk about reasons to believe in this man named Jesus Christ and the wonderful, incomparable word of God. It's as honest as it gets. I hope you enjoy it and share it.  SHOW NOTES:1. The clearest and most in depth explanation of where we got the Bible and how we can trust in it. This Mark Driscoll sermon will erase any doubts of how you can trust in the validity of the Bible.https://realfaith.com/sermons/john-17-woman-caught-adultery/2. In this episode we also made mention of books outside of the Bible, not included in the Apocrypha. We mention our friend Luke Rodgers who co-authored a book about the Book of Enoch.
