Join Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and Generations for powerful testimony concerning Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this revelatory lesson, Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Apostle of Jesus Christ unpacks the sacred truths of Doctrine and Covenants 76 with fire and clarity. Known as “The Vision,” this section reveals the degrees of glory, the fate of the faithful, and the eternal triumph of Jesus Christ's Atonement. With apostolic urgency, Dr. Harrison declares that this is not just a vision of heaven—it is a roadmap for exaltation. The celestial kingdom is real. The testimony of Jesus is the key. And the time to prepare is now."I testify in the name of Jesus Christ that the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 76 is not symbolic—it is literal. It is the Lord's own declaration of eternity. It is the blueprint of glory. And it is the invitation to rise.I declare that the Celestial Kingdom is reserved for those who receive the testimony of Jesus, are baptized by His authority, and are valiant in that testimony until the end. This is not folklore. This is not theory. This is the voice of the resurrected Christ speaking to His servants. I testify that Jesus Christ lives. He sits at the right hand of the Father. He glorifies the Father and saves all the works of His hands. This truth I declare to every nation and generation.The telestial glory surpasses all understanding. The terrestrial glory is real. But the celestial glory is exaltation—and it is offered to you through covenant, obedience, and the testimony of Jesus. This is the vision. This is the promise. This is the hour.We invite you to follow Moroni's promise:After watching this message, ask God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true—and listen for the Spirit to answer.As one commissioned personally by Jesus Christ, I testify that what the Spirit has revealed through me in this lesson is God's Truth. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

It's always fun to talk to someone from the Strangite Church, officially known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) Based in Burlington, Wisconsin, this branch of the Latter-day Saint movement offers a distinctive perspective on the succession of Joseph Smith and the ongoing divine restoration. https://youtu.be/RUL8rF0hb4U Strangite Genesis in Voree The current headquarters of the Strangite Church is Burlington, Wisconsin. Interestingly, the area holds historical significance with multiple names. It was originally called Foxville. While today it's known as Burlington, a specific area on the west side of town where the Mormon settlement was located was called Voree by the early Strangites, a name associated with the significant "Voree record". James J. Strang led his followers to this location, believing God had instructed them to move from Nauvoo. James Strang was dispatched to the Burlington area by Joseph Smith, having been baptized and made an elder by Smith himself. Strang wrote back to Joseph Smith, suggesting Voree would be a "wonderful place for a gathering" due to its rich resources like fish, fresh water, great farmland, and good soil near the Great Lakes. Initially, Joseph Smith was hesitant, but after discussion with Hyrum Smith and a subsequent spiritual revelation, he concluded that Voree was indeed a good place for the Saints. James J. Strang: Joseph Smith's Chosen Successor? The Strangite Church believes that James J. Strang was divinely appointed as Joseph Smith's successor. This belief is rooted in two pivotal events: The Letter of Appointment: Joseph Smith penned a letter to James A. Strang, officially appointing him as his successor. This original letter is now preserved at Yale University in the Beineke Library, with copies available for members. The Angelic Ordination: On the very day Joseph Smith was assassinated, June 27, 1844, angels appeared to James J. Strang and ordained him a prophet. These were believed to be the same angels who ordained Joseph Smith – Peter, James, and John. Strang was aware of Joseph's death through this angelic visitation even before news arrived from Nauvoo. Furthermore, it's believed that Jesus also anointed Strang as the King of Israel for the gentile dispensation, an ordination attributed to his lineage from the royal line of King David. Sacred Texts and Prophetic Interpretations The Strangite Church embraces a unique canon of scripture beyond what is common in other Latter-day Saint traditions: The Voree Plates: These ancient plates were revealed to James Strang through a vision from the angel Moroni, known as the Hill of Promise. Strang gathered leading citizens to witness their excavation from beneath a tree, about four feet down, where roots had grown around them. The plates, housed in an earthen case, crumbled upon exposure to air due to their age. Witnesses, including a newspaper reporter from Kenosha, confirmed the ancient nature of the record and that the site had been undisturbed. Strang translated them using the Urim and Thummim given to him by the angel Moroni, much like Joseph Smith used the Urim and Thummim to translate the Book of Mormon. The Voree Plates provide a brief history of a people who were "no more" and, most notably, contained a pictorial drawing depicting the true structure of the priesthood, including the prophet lawgiver, two viceroys, twelve apostles, high priests, and seventies. These plates were translated around 1844. The Book of the Law: This significant text is believed to be the "stick of Judah" spoken of in Ezekiel 37. According to Strangite belief, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon (the stick of Ephraim), but was instructed not to touch the sealed record, which was the Book of the Law, meant for a future prophet. James J. Strang, being of the tribe of Judah with Jewish ancestry, translated the Book of the Law after receiving the plates of Laban from the angel Moroni.

What if there's a way to meet frustration, loneliness, or even a difficult person—with something softer and something stronger at the same time? In today's episode, we explore the transformative practice of Loving-Kindness, also known as Metta—a simple but radical form of meditation that teaches us how to see others, and ourselves, through the eyes of compassion. You'll hear a story about a yoga class in Seattle, a rattlesnake on a trail run, and what happens when you decide to look people in the eye—even when they look away. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Sharon Salzberg, the words of Jesus Christ, and the teachings of the Buddha, Danielle guides you through a practice that's more than a moment of peace—it's a blueprint for becoming who you were always meant to be. This is the practice for when your heart feels guarded. For when you don't know what to pray or how to cultivate charity. For when you want to lead with light, but the world feels heavy. You'll learn: What Metta really means (and how to use it) The spiritual practice hidden in Matthew 5:44 to love your enemies Why the hardest person to love is often… you How to offer compassion without feeling fake A 7-minute guided Loving-Kindness meditation you can return to again and again Plus, Danielle shares how practicing Metta helped her form a soul-friendship in a new city, and how even a rattlesnake can become a teacher. Whether you're brand-new to meditation or ready to deepen your spiritual practice, this episode will meet you right where you are—and walk with you toward more peace. Because compassion is not weakness— It's strength wrapped in softness. It's charity in action. And as Moroni says, “Charity never faileth.” Where you can connect more with Danielle:   Danielle's website Follow Danielle on Instagram Sign up for Danielle's personal newsletter Learn more about trips to Italy with Danielle and friends Danielle's music on Spotify

Join us on a fascinating journey to Voree/Burlington, Wisconsin, to explore the unique history and beliefs of a Latter-day Saint group often referred to as the Strangites. This isn't the commonly known LDS Church; rather, it's a distinct branch founded by James Strang. He started a rival Mormon Church in Voree/Burlington, Wisconsin back in 1844 and the church still exists! We'll tour around the Trust Farm and see historic sites, including the Hill of Promise & the home where James Strang died. Gary Weber is a Strangite. He's our tour guide and we'll discuss their church and theology.

Genesis of Strangism The Strangite Church, formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Strangite), was founded in 1844. James Strang, who had been sent on a mission to Wisconsin by Joseph Smith, claimed that an angel ordained him on June 27, 1844, the very day Joseph Smith died. This divine ordination, he asserted, made him the rightful successor to the church's leadership. Trip to Voree/Burlington The journey to this lesser-known Latter-day Saint community in Wisconsin involved a mix of trains, planes, and automobiles. Landing in Milwaukee, the trip continued towards Burlington, Wisconsin, where the Church is located. The group believes they are the original Mormon Church and refer to themselves as Mormons. The area around Burlington, known as Voree is the setting for much of Strangite history, especially concerning the "Voree record". The weather in Burlington on June 12th was surprisingly mild for summer, with a high of just 63 and low around 56 degrees Fahrenheit, a notable difference from Utah's typical June temperatures. Current Church Building and Surroundings The current Strangite church building, located on Spring Valley Road near what's called "Mormon Road," is smaller than I expected. According to Bill Shepard, a long-time resident & member, this building was constructed around 1965-1967 and marks the first time the Strangites have had a dedicated church building, as they were previously scattered. The lawn around the chapel is nicely manicured, and visitors are always welcome. Inside, or in their collections, the Strangites possess a wealth of historical documents, including 26 volumes of the Journal of Discourses, Times and Seasons, and Millennial Star. They also have Strang Manuscripts, which are copies of letters, and a publication called The Northern Islander, which was published at Beaver Island. Notably, the Strangites do use the Doctrine and Covenants. Sacred Hill of Promise One of the most significant sites for Strangites is the Hill of Promise. This is where James Strang is believed to have found his "Voree plates. The discovery was found under a small tree on the hill, under which Strang claimed a buried record lay. He gathered respected men from the town to witness the excavation, ensuring no prior disturbance of the soil. An angel reportedly appeared to Strang, revealing the record's location. Upon opening the stone casing, the ancient record crumbled due to exposure to air, a common occurrence with ancient artifacts according to Weber. Strang translated this record using the Urim and Thummim, which he said he received from the angel Moroni. The "Voree record" was a short account of a people named "Raja Ramor" who lived in the area and, similar to the Nephites on the Hill Cumorah, were largely destroyed in a great war. The record also depicted the priesthood structure, aligning precisely with the priesthood under Joseph Smith and James Strang, including prophet, viceroy, twelve apostles, and seventies. Beyond its historical significance, the Hill of Promise holds prophetic importance: James Strang's revelations indicate that Daniel from the Bible will someday app...

Quelles sont les aspirations de la jeunesse comorienne ? Dans l'archipel, 53%, plus de la moitié de la population a moins de 20 ans, selon la Banque mondiale, qui estime que le taux de pauvreté devrait passer de 38 à 36% de la population en 2030. Une perspective moyennement enthousiasmante. Cinquante ans après l'indépendance, à quoi rêve la jeunesse comorienne pour son avenir ? Rester et construire ou partir.  De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Moroni, Ben Abdourahmane a 29 ans, une femme et un bébé d'un mois et demi. Ils vivent à Mitsoudje, 15 km au sud de la capitale Moroni. Sa vie ne prend pas la direction dont il avait rêvé, mais il ne baisse pas les bras : « Je suis parti à Madagascar faire des études de droit et en Sciences Po, je n'ai pas échoué. Mais finalement, je n'ai pas pu terminer mes études à cause des moyens financiers. J'avais des rêves, j'avais des envies, mais ce n'est pas ce que la vie m'a réservé. Aujourd'hui, je me suis lancé dans l'agriculture. J'ai une vache et je cultive aussi de la banane, du manioc. À l'avenir, j'aimerais ouvrir une entreprise dans l'agriculture, la transformation. J'aimerais que mes produits soient valorisés dans le national. Ça peut marcher. » Kaviani Moumini, 27 ans, travaille dans une pharmacie de M'Beni, dans le nord-est de l'île de Grande Comore, qu'il se verrait bien quitter : « Je gagne un peu. Je me sens moyennement bien. Si j'avais la possibilité ou l'occasion de partir à l'étranger pour gagner ma vie, je le ferais. Ici, aux Comores, la situation est très difficile. Je ne gagne pas suffisamment. Je te le dis, j'ai envie de partir. On peut partir là-bas, en France, comme on ne gagne rien ici, on préfère partir ailleurs. » Hachmy Oumar Ousseini, 21 ans, sera bientôt diplômée de l'Université de Moroni : une licence en soins obstétricaux. Née sur l'île d'Anjouan, elle compte encore voyager. Mais pas pour émigrer : « J'aimerais vraiment aller à l'étranger faire une spécialité échographiste, par exemple puéricultrice. Il n'y a pas de formation aux Comores. Pour le faire, il faut aller à l'étranger. J'aimerais bien aller en France, au Sénégal ou au Maroc. Le but, c'est de revenir et de participer à l'évolution du pays. Il manque plein de choses ici. C'est à nous d'apporter ce savoir à notre pays. » Un enthousiasme qui contraste avec la résignation de bien des Comoriens, usés par des années d'immobilisme : Hachmy Oumar Ousseini, elle, se veut résolument optimiste et constructive.

Les Comores célèbrent ce dimanche 6 juillet le cinquantième anniversaire de leur indépendance. Parmi les nombreux défis auxquels restent confrontés les Comores, celui de l'accès aux soins : les financements gouvernementaux sont minimes, les hôpitaux manquent cruellement de médecins et de matériel, de sorte que les Comoriens qui le peuvent vont largement se faire soigner à l'étranger. M'Beni est à environ 75 km au nord-est de la capitale Moroni, sur l'île de Grande Comore. La très mauvaise route qui y mène est actuellement rénovée par une entreprise chinoise. L'hôpital compte sur ses propres forces pour tenter de répondre aux besoins des populations. De notre envoyé spécial de retour de M'Beni Avec 44 consultations et trois interventions chirurgicales : la journée du Dr Nizar Ahamada est bien remplie. Comme d'habitude. Les Comores, près d'un million d'habitants, ne comptent que deux urologues, deux chirurgiens pédiatriques, le second est arrivé il y a quelques mois, selon les chiffres du nouveau Syndicat national des médecins comoriens (Synamec), dont le Dr Nizar est également secrétaire général. Il note une amélioration, pour les ORL par exemple, mais tellement insuffisante. En cause, principalement, l'absence de formation et les salaires : « Au moment où on parle, l'hôpital de Hombo à Anjouan traverse ses problèmes avec six mois de salaire pour les contractuels non payés sur les gardes. Mais aussi, il y a un problème indiciaire parce que les salaires sont vraiment trop bas, donc ça n'encourage pas. Tout le monde travaille pour pouvoir subvenir à leurs besoins. Ce qui fait que certains médecins ou bien agents de la santé vont partir sur les pays voisins ou bien à l'île Mayotte pour travailler. C'est quelque chose qui est déplorable. » Aux Comores, ce sont les hôpitaux qui se financent principalement et qui se gèrent. Le directeur du centre médico-chirurgical de M'Beni, Abdourahim Mbaé, explique que 60% de son budget provient des soins, payants, de l'hôpital. Les bailleurs internationaux contribuent à environ 30% du budget de l'hôpital, le gouvernement : 10% seulement. Atteindre 100% d'autonomie en électricité Le matériel est un problème crucial. La diaspora de M'Beni en offre régulièrement à l'hôpital, mais les pannes sont fréquentes. Alors après avoir financé la formation d'un anesthésiste – il en manquait un – l'hôpital a financé celle d'un ingénieur bio-médical. Abdourahim Mbaé : « Nos appareils tombent en panne, on a des difficultés à les réparer et les réparations coûtent cher. Donc, on a eu l'idée de transformer le salaire en bourse et puis voilà. Il est formé, il a son atelier sur place, il est formé au Togo et il va réparer tous nos instruments de laboratoire, du bloc opératoire, de la radio, de l'imagerie médicale. Tout cela, c'est la formation qui va faire. » Les coupures d'électricité récurrentes peuvent avoir de lourdes conséquences. Là encore, le directeur Abdourahim Mbaé a pris les choses en main : « Pour contourner le délestage de la société nationale, on s'est doté par nous-mêmes des groupes électrogènes à nous, il y a aussi des panneaux solaires. Notre intention, c'est d'avoir à 100% une autonomie d'énergie 24 h sur 24. » Un ambitieux projet de Centre hospitalier universitaire national est en cours : la construction du CHU El-Maarouf à Moroni, la capitale, a commencé il y a huit ans. Le chantier accumule les retards, mais le projet suscite beaucoup d'espoirs.

Les Comores célèbrent ce dimanche 6 juillet le cinquantième anniversaire de leur indépendance. RFI propose à cette occasion une série de reportages et d'entretiens. Dans la capitale Moroni, et a fortiori dans le reste de l'archipel, l'accès à l'eau reste une préoccupation pour les Comoriens. La situation a même empiré entre deux générations. De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Moroni, « Là, on est dans ma cuisine, c'est le robinet. Voilà, tu vois que ça ne donne rien… rien du tout. C'est très gênant même, surtout quand on a eu une famille nombreuse. Si l'eau manque, comment vivre aisément ? C'est impossible. » La famille d'Ibrahim Selemane habite dans le quartier Bacha, au cœur de la capitale. À deux pas, même la borne fontaine publique qui garantissait auparavant de l'eau aux ménages les plus démunis est aujourd'hui à sec. Les Nations unies ont installé quelques citernes en plastique dans la ville, où les ménagères viennent remplir des bidons, qu'il faut ensuite porter. Sinon, une seule solution, pour ceux qui le peuvent  : payer. « Tu vois, je suis obligé de remplir de l'eau ici. J'ai une énorme bassine. Une bassine que vous voulez acheter. Il faut remplir de l'eau pour pouvoir laver la vaisselle ». - Et où achetez-vous, l'eau ? « Il y a des voitures qui passent ici. On nous fait vendre à 200 francs le jerrican de 20 litres. » Et pour Ibrahim Selemane, de l'eau, il doit en acheter beaucoup : « Pour la préparation, laver les assiettes à la cuisine, à la douche, laver les vêtements, tout cela nécessite beaucoup d'eau quand même. Ça devrait être un service public. On nous le vend, mais on n'a pas le choix. » À lire aussiGrave pénurie d'eau à Moroni, aux Comores: «l'eau c'est la vie» Nasrat Mohamed Issa préside la Fédération comorienne des consommateurs. Elle-même a rénové la cuve que son père avait installée sur le toit de la maison familiale, qu'il avait cessé d'utiliser, et qui se révèle à nouveau indispensable. Après 50 ans d'indépendance, elle tire un triste bilan : « La situation s'est dégradée et se dégrade. Moi, je suis née avant l'indépendance, il y avait de l'eau dans les robinets. Ma fille, que j'ai eue en 2001, il y a des enfants de cette génération-là qui ne voient pas de l'eau courante. Il y a des infrastructures qui doivent être remises à neuf ou s'adapter à la population qui grandit. Parce que, en 50 ans, la population continue à grandir, les habitations continuent à pulluler. On nous chante plusieurs projets, il y a même des inaugurations, mais au bout, ça n'arrange pas les choses. » Les autorités se veulent pourtant rassurantes : Houmed Msaïdié, ancien ministre et conseiller spécial à la résidence : « Il y a des projets concrets. On voit les travaux qui se font pour régler cette question de l'eau à Moroni et ailleurs d'ici 2027. On travaille pour que 63% de la population comorienne ait accès à l'eau directement chez elle. On est en train d'installer les infrastructures nécessaires pour cela. » Plusieurs projets sont en cours, soutenus par les partenaires internationaux des Comores.

Les Comores célèbrent ce dimanche 6 juillet le cinquantième anniversaire de leur indépendance. Les Comores, c'est historiquement un archipel de quatre îles : Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli et Mayotte. Sauf que cette dernière île est restée un département français, que l'État comorien revendique encore et toujours. Les Comoriens les plus engagés pour le retour de Mayotte estiment que leur gouvernement, malgré sa position officielle, est trop complaisant avec Paris.  De notre envoyé spécial à Moroni, On pourrait poser la question mille fois dans les rues de Moroni sans que la réponse varie : le retour de Mayotte au sein de l'État comorien est une cause nationale. En 1974, la France demande aux Comoriens par referendum s'ils veulent l'indépendance. Près de 95% répondent « oui », mais à Mayotte, le « non » l'emporte à plus de 63%. Les indépendantistes considérant que le scrutin vaut pour l'ensemble de l'archipel, Paris décide de le prendre en compte île par île. L'année suivante, Paris reconnaît l'indépendance des Comores, à l'exclusion de l'île de Mayotte. Depuis, les gouvernements comoriens successifs ne cessent de le marteler : « Mayotte est comorienne. » Aujourd'hui encore, Houmed Msaïdié, ancien ministre et conseiller spécial à la présidence en charge des questions politiques, parle d'un « objectif stratégique » : « Cet abus de la part des autorités françaises à un moment donné de notre histoire fait qu'aujourd'hui, il y a des Mahorais qui ne connaissent pas les Comores. Ça fait 50 ans qu'on s'est séparés. Maintenant, c'est le moment. On est pour des discussions sérieuses avec la France, mais surtout, on est pour la discussion directe entre nos frères de Mayotte et les autres îles. Il faut qu'on essaie d'identifier ce qui peut nous rassembler. L'objectif des Comores est clair et net : c'est l'intégrité territoriale. » À lire aussiAux Comores, des manifestants s'opposent à l'entrée de Mayotte à la Commission de l'océan Indien Mais cette position officielle ne convainc pas tous les Comoriens. Depuis 50 ans, l'Union africaine et les Nations unies reconnaissent l'appartenance de Mayotte aux Comores, contre la position française. Mais le sujet s'est progressivement effacé, car Moroni et Paris, loin de s'affronter sur la scène internationale, sont des alliés : échanges économiques, programmes de développement... Le docteur Mohamed Monjoin est le président du Comité Maore, qui milite pour « la fin de l'occupation coloniale française à Mayotte ». Il affirme : « Il est temps d'arrêter le dialogue bilatéral, il n'a rien apporté de bien. Notre force, c'est le soutien international. Moroni doit mettre Mayotte à l'ordre du jour de l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies. Il faut qu'il y ait une discussion et un vote sur la question de Mayotte, cela n'a pas été fait depuis 30 ans par les différents gouvernements successifs. C'est le bâton et la carotte. Le gouvernement comorien craint un coup d'État. Aux Comores, il y a eu beaucoup de coup d'État fomentés par la France, qui vous dit que c'est fini ? Et il reste bien sûr la petite carotte : l'aide au développement. » Cinquante ans après, les Comoriens célèbrent donc une indépendance que tous jugent inachevée.  À lire aussiMayotte et les Comores, fragments d'une histoire partagée

The 15th president of the LDS Church Gordon B. Hinkley said in 1961 that "this cause is either true or false. Either this is the kingdom of God, or it is a shame and a delusion. Either Joseph talked with the Father and the Son, or he did not. If he did not, we are engaged in blasphemy." This week we wrap up our conversation with former Latter-day Saint Sandra Tanner about many of the difficulties surrounding The Book of Mormon facing the LDS Church today. Sandra Tanner and her late husband Jerald were raised in the LDS faith, both with a strong Mormon family history. Jerald was the great-great-grandson of John Tanner, well known for his sizeable financial contributions to Joseph Smith and the LDS church in 1835 when the church was deeply in debt. Sandra Tanner is a great-great-granddaughter of Brigham Young, the second president of the Mormon Church.As teenagers, before they met, Jerald and Sandra were challenged by different people and events to examine the origins of Mormonism. Soon after their introduction, they jointly began researching Mormonism and became engaged. Both accepted Christ during these early years of study and have left the Mormon church. Sandra remains today a Christian. The Tanners are authors of over forty books on the subject of Mormonism. They are well known for their extensive research into Mormon history and doctrine. Utah Lighthouse™ Ministry provides these books and research, as well as photocopies and reprints of original Mormon documents to the public. https://www.utlm.org/navaboutus.htmFree PDF Copy of Mormonism - Shadow or Reality?

À Moroni, la pêche artisanale reste une activité essentielle pour des milliers de Comoriens. Mais face à la raréfaction des poissons, à la concurrence de grands chalutiers et aux restrictions locales, les pêcheurs se battent pour survivre. Certains évoquent un métier de plus en plus dur, d'autres tentent de s'adapter malgré les obstacles. Reportage à Moroni, dans un lieu appelé Café du port, où le poisson, autrefois abondant, devient une denrée fragile.  De notre correspondant à Moroni, Près du port de Moroni, entre deux parties de dominos, les pêcheurs discutent d'un métier qu'ils aiment, mais qui ne les fait plus vraiment vivre. Commandant Loketo, pêcheur depuis 1999 : « Avant, il y avait moins de bateaux, plus d'opportunités, et surtout plus de poissons. Depuis 2010, les choses ont changé. Il y a les gros bateaux de pêche étrangers qui opèrent dans nos eaux et prélèvent énormément de poissons. Parfois, ils nous menacent avec des armes. On est obligés de fuir. Parfois, ils nous donnent des poissons ». Ces dernières semaines, certains notent une amélioration. Les grands navires se font plus rares, et les prises augmentent. Commandant Loketo : « Dieu merci, les poissons sont revenus. Vous le voyez bien sûr, les prix : la bonite est entre 2 et 2,50 euros ».

Ibrahim Hassani vend son poisson près du Café du port, un point de vente situé en bordure de route. Les clients y stationnent souvent leurs véhicules, ce qui encombre la circulation et agace la mairie. « On nous empêche de vendre ici. C'est une décision de la mairie.

Il regrette surtout d'avoir dû renoncer à la fraîcheur, son meilleur argument face aux clients. « Ici, il n'y a que du poisson frais. C'est maintenant que la situation a changé que nous avons des poissons congelés. Nous n'arrivons pas à les écouler, mais en période normale, nous n'avons jamais de poissons congelés ». La pression n'est pas que locale. Les pêcheurs dénoncent aussi un manque de soutien face aux enjeux géopolitiques de la mer. Andhum Abdallah, pêcheur depuis 2006 : « Nous avons une vie difficile. On souffre autant en allant à la pêche qu'en revenant. On souffre quand on veut vendre. Et certaines autorités viennent ici, pas pour nous aider, mais pour nous compliquer encore plus la vie ».

In this kickoff episode of the Galatians Challenge for Mormons, we dive into chapter 1 of Paul's letter to the Galatians—a bold defense of the one true gospel. Paul says even if an angel preaches another message, let him be cursed. Sound familiar? We explore the striking parallels between Paul's warning and Joseph Smith's claims about receiving the “fullness of the gospel” from the angel Moroni.We also examine Paul's background as a Pharisee, how the early church responded to his conversion, and why that response stands in stark contrast to Joseph Smith's rejection of all existing churches. This episode challenges listeners to consider: Are you following the gospel revealed by Jesus—or a different one?

We'll discuss the revelations from 1834-1838 including the uncanonized Zelph Revelation. In 1834, Joseph Smith changed the name of the church from Church of Christ to Church of the Latter Day Saints. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/ogCyg94XghM Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission Uncanonized Zelph Revelation One particularly intriguing inclusion in Hocking's book, treated as a revelation although not canonized by the LDS Church today, is the account of Zelph. This account originates from Joseph Smith's history and details an experience while roving over the plains of the Nephites during Zion's Camp. Joseph Smith described discovering a skeleton. Through a vision or revelation, he understood that the person was "a white Lamanite, a large thick set man, and a man of God" named Zelph. Zelph was identified as "a warrior and a chieftain under the great prophet Onandagus who named from the eastern sea." The eastern sea is likened to Lake Ontario. The account describes Zelph's injuries, including a broken side caused by a stone from a sling and death from an arrow found among his ribs during a battle. Hocking notes that B.H. Roberts, in a book written before his involvement with History of the Church, also discussed Zion's Camp passing mysterious earth mounds, which Roberts suggested were related to the Nephites, Lamanites, or people of Jared. Hocking sees Joseph Smith's account of finding Zelph as a way of demonstrating a physical witness of the Book of Mormon peoples. Joseph Smith, having provided the spiritual testimony through the translated book, was now offering a physical witness for those on the journey. Those who went on Zion's Camp reportedly stayed faithful, potentially due to this physical witness. While the story of Zelph might seem "fantastical" to some, and perhaps for this reason it hasn't been canonized by the modern LDS church, Hocking includes it because Joseph Smith presented it as a revelation where the heavens were opened and the Almighty gave him understanding. Later Revelations and Profound Connections Moving into the later period (1838-1843), which includes the Nauvoo temple era, Hocking's book covers 20 revelations. He also includes statements from Joseph Smith that he treats "as if they're revelations because they're statements." One powerful example is found in what is now Section 128 of the Doctrine and Covenants. While in hiding, Joseph Smith wrote a letter to the church about baptisms for the dead. Within this letter, he includes what Hocking calls a "poetical utterance," similar to passages in Nephi or Lehi. Joseph Smith speaks of glad tidings from Cumorah and Moroni, the voices of Peter, James, and John on the banks of the Mississippi, the voice of the Heavenly Father, and significantly, the voices of Michael the archangel, Gabriel, Raphael, and "diverse angels from Michael or Adam down to the present time." These angels are described as declaring their dispensations, rights, honors, keys, majesty, glory, and priesthood power. Hocking found this section particularly striking after studying the Book of Enoch, which features conversations with Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. He posits that Joseph Smith is a "new Enoch," drawing parallels between their lives. Furthermore, Hocking discovered profound correlations between Joseph Smith's translation work and other ancient texts. He highlights the Joseph Smith Translation of Genesis 18, where three men who visit Abraham are identified as "angels which were holy men and they were sent after the order of God," in contrast to the King James Version which simply calls them "three men". Comparing this to the Book of Jasher (published 10 years after Joseph Smith's revelation), Hocking found a passage stating, "and the Lord appeared unto him at the plain and sent three of his ministering angels." Delving deeper,

The book of Galatians is one of the clearest biblical refutations of false gospels, and it directly challenges the core teachings of Mormonism. Written by the apostle Paul, Galatians warns against adding anything to the gospel of grace through faith in Christ alone. Paul rebukes those who introduce "another gospel," saying they are distorting the true message of salvation (Galatians 1:6-9). This is highly relevant when evaluating Mormonism, which presents a gospel of works, temple ordinances, and additional revelations beyond Scripture.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --Galatians Condemns "Another Gospel"Paul's strongest words in Galatians are aimed at those who preach a gospel different from the one originally given. He writes:“I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ. Let God's curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.” (Galatians 1:6-8, NLT)Mormonism claims that an angel, Moroni, appeared to Joseph Smith and gave him a "restored gospel." Yet, Paul explicitly warns against believing even an angel if it brings a different gospel. This alone should cause concern for those who follow the teachings of MormonismSalvation Is by Faith, Not WorksOne of the foundational teachings of Mormonism is that salvation requires obedience to laws, ordinances, and good works. However, Galatians repeatedly emphasizes that salvation is by faith in Christ alone, apart from works of the law. Paul writes:“Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” (Galatians 2:16, NLT)Mormonism teaches that exaltation (becoming like God) requires obedience to commandments, temple ordinances, and the priesthood. But Paul completely rejects any system that mixes faith with works for justification. If righteousness could be gained through works, Christ's death would have been meaningless (Galatians 2:21).The Law Cannot SaveMormonism places a heavy emphasis on laws and ordinances, teaching that they are necessary for full salvation. However, Paul explains that the law was never meant to bring salvation but to point people to Christ.“Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised… If the law could give us new life, we could be made right...

Joseph Smith Jr. was an American religious and political leader and the founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint movement. Publishing the Book of Mormon at the age of 24, Smith attracted tens of thousands of followers by the time of his death fourteen years later. The religion he founded is followed by millions of global adherents and several churches, the largest of which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Smith professed a belief in Jesus, so why did a man, known as the "Wickedest Man On Earth" and vehement anti-Christian, Aleister Crowley, so enamored with him? Joel is joined this week by ex-Mormon, Heidi Luv from Unfiltered Rise Podcast, to explore the depths of this Smith-Crowley connection. They walk through the beginnings of Mormonism and Smith's use of Enochian magick to summon the angel Moroni similar to the workings of John Dee and Edward Kelley. They peel back the layers of the Mormon hierarchy and its parallels to Freemasonry. Finally, they expose the hero worship of Joseph Smith by Aleister Crowley and why a known occultist would find a "religious" man like Smith so intoxicating.

Abstract: In the book of Ether, the prophet Moroni “Christianizes” the Jaredite story, inserting extensive Christian elements into an original text that predates the house of Israel, the Nephite nation, and the Christian era. In this paper, a typological and intertextual method is used to show how Moroni uses the words of Christ in Ether […] The post “When Ye Shall Rend That Veil of Unbelief”: A Typological Reading of Ether 3 and 4 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Treasure-digging, seer stones, and magical parchments were all part of the Smith family tradition and they each played a part in the story of Moroni's Golden Plates.
