Podcasts about united firm

Scripture study!!! Well, sort of. We're talking about the codenames contained in the Doctrine & Covenants sections 78, 82, 92, 96, 103, 104, and 105. Names like Gazelam, Ahashdah, Pelagoram, Mahalaleel, Mahemson, Shederlaomach, and (most importantly) Talents, all appear concerning the Secret Combination of the United Firm, or United Order. We discuss the history of the names, who's involved, and why they appear in the first place. Huge thanks to Gene Judson of Latter-daily Digest for inviting us onto the show and suggesting the topic! After that we chat about a movie concerning a secret combination, Hot Fuzz!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today owns and operates several successful for-profit businesses, from livestock and agriculture to publishing and digital media to real estate and many others. This has caused some to wonder, does a Church focused on bringing people to Christ have any business getting involved in business? Are business ventures like these compatible with the mission of the Church generally and the founding principles of consecration specifically?  In this episode of Church History Matters, we go back to the beginning of the Church to discuss its very first consecration-based business ventures—the Literary Firm and the United Firm, or United Order. Specifically, we're interested in the founding revelations that justify these ventures and how the principles found in these have paved the way for the Church's very successful business ventures today.

Section 104 provides instructions on how to dismantle the United Firm as a collective endeavor while continuing operations of the mercantile and literary firms. In it the Lord says the covenant was broken through covetousness...

Jay and Jon talk about Zions Camp, the dissolution of the original United Firm, and more

This week Daniel and Fili discuss how we learn from the example of Jesse Gause and Frederick G. Williams that we cannot frustrate the Lord's work on earth. They also discuss the United Firm (and it's difference from the united order), and how the principles the Lord teaches them apply to us today, including the consideration of widows, children, and the poor as outlined in Section 83.

Come Follow Me July 12-18 Doctrine and Covenants 77-80 In Section 78, the Lord revealed that He wanted an organization that could watch over the storehouse and printing press. This organization came to be known as the United Firm. Unfortunately, two years later, it failed because of mounting debt. How could the Lord let His organization fail so quickly? While this may have a been a great trial of faith for those immediately involved, we can look back from our day and find a parable for our very lives. The Lord may have let the organization fail, but processes morphed and became reinvented and changed until the church became "independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world." Though we may fail and need to be reinvented in the process, the Lord will lead us along to our eventual goals.

Join us this week as we explore the fascinating Q&A session in Doctrine and Covenants 77, learn a little bit of the history behind the United Firm and what we can learn from its mistakes, and what actionable service looks like in our local communities. Find the full transcript for this episode at www.thefaithfulfeminists.com

Less than two years after the Church of Jesus Christ was restored, it had grown to over 2,000 members and was spreading quickly. In March 1832 Joseph Smith met with other Church leaders “to discuss Church business”: the need to publish revelations, purchase land to gather on, and care for the poor (see Doctrine and Covenants 78, section heading). To meet these needs, the Lord called on a small number of Church leaders to form the United Firm, a group that would join their efforts to “advance the cause” of the Lord (verse 4) in these areas. But even in such administrative matters, the Lord focused on the things of eternity. Ultimately, the purpose of a printing press or a storehouse—like everything else in God's kingdom—is to prepare His children to receive “a place in the celestial world” and “the riches of eternity” (verses 7, 18). And if those blessings are hard to comprehend right now, in the midst of the busyness of daily life, He reassures us, “Be of good cheer, for I will lead you along” (verse 18).

Dr. Manscill continues to discuss the United Firm, the Law of Consecration, and tithing. The early Saints were called to meet both temporal and spiritual needs as we are today. We discuss how the Church provides covenants as well as material assistance to advance the cause of Zion. Meet some early Saints (as well as modern Saints) who served where they were called and received gifts from the Lord.Shownotes: https://followhim.co/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followhimpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FollowHimOfficialChannel"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com/products/let-zion-in-her-beauty-rise-pianoPlease rate and review the podcast.

The Lord instructs Joseph to organize the "United Firm".  A group that would focus advancing the cause of the Lord in the following areas:  the publication of church revelations, the purchase of land to gather on, and the care for the poor.  Join us this week as we apply the scriptures to our personal lives.

Jay and Jon discuss the revelation on...Revelation, the United Firm, missionary work, and more

On this episode, we discuss how fluid Joseph Smith’s morality and theology really was. We begin with his evolving perspective on slavery from pro-slavery to abolitionist when it was politically advantageous. Then we discuss how Mormonism was strictly monogamous to closeted polygamous when possible. Then Jo goes from socialist when he was poor to capitalist when he was filthy rich. A few court cases reveal Jo’s abuse of power and fluid sense of morality. We discuss Finch & Rollosson grocer and the ultimate result of John Finch’s affiliation with the Mormons.

President Nelson has made a big push about using the name of our church, but it wasn't always known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Michael Marquardt, an unsung hero in Mormon history, tells why the church changed names a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwMGkNRDo8U Michael: In May of 1834 members of the United Firm, which was like an auxiliary of the church at that time, met and changed the name of the revealed name of a Church of Christ to the Church of Latter Day Saints. And that's where that name comes in. GT: Now, I just interviewed--in fact we just published it yesterday it was--an interview with Steve Shields and he said that it was Sidney Rigdon who came up with that name Church of the Latter Day Saints. Michael: Yes. He proposed that. Sidney Rigdon was an elder and also high priest in the church. And the church is in deep debt at that early time of 1834. And that was one of the reasons at that time that they, said that the church was organized in Fayette--to protect the organization. It's the same reason as the next year in the 1835 First edition of the doctrine and covenants, they used pseudonyms. No there was not real names but other names. So people would not know who the revelation that we're referring to to protect the organization, protect the individuals. GT: For financial reasons is that the main reason? Michael: From what I can gather that that's the main main reason at that time. GT: Okay. Okay. So let's recap here. So April 6, 1830 the Church is organized in Manchester. In 1833 it's published that it's still organized in Manchester. In 1835 we start having some difficulties with finances. So they renamed the Church: Church of Latter-day Saints. They left out Jesus Christ, by the way, I'll add in. Michael: Well, it was 1834. Yeah. You'll notice sometimes while the name, Jesus is not there or the title Christ, it was also used at that time. You probably noticed that Michael said the was founded in Manchester, New York, contrary to the official church history record that the church was organized 30 miles away in Fayette.  How does Michael make his case, and why is there a discrepancy? GT: Why does the church say Fayette and why are you saying it's in Manchester? Michael: Well, it's basically trying to look at over a period of time, where the baptisms occur, where the revelations were given. And, of course the early Church of Christ did publish in the Evening and Morning Star, the first church periodical that it was organized and established in Manchester on April 6. And that's also where you find where it mentions six members. So there's probably was six individuals. We don't know if they're a male or a female. GT: Okay. You said this was published where again? Michael: In the 'Evening and the Morning Star' in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri. GT: And what was the date on that? Michael: It would be March, 1833 and April, 1833. GT: So in March and April of 1833. The Evening and Morning Star is saying that the church was organized in Manchester, not in Fayette. Michael: Correct. Marquardt says several revelations occurred in Manchester in April 6, 1830, and this was because it was the first church meeting.  Were you aware of a discrepancy in the historical record for the location of the founding of the Church? Michael Marquardt says the Church was organized in Manchester, some 30 miles from Fayette, NY. Does he make a solid case?

Joseph's new scribe has a completely different tone, and it's boring. The United Firm is kinda sorta failing at managing money on account of them never having enough money.

Help us make the 1876 D&C into something usable! Email Joel Kuhn at dccompare@gmail.com to help with the proofreading. Thanks! The poor are established (built up, not created) via the United Firm. This is a fancy way to say the church is setting up a welfare system for members of the church. Joseph revelates himself into a nickname, and maybe a city? You must be equal here on earth to get equal things in heaven (except some people are MORE equal). If you want to get into heaven make sure you're doing all the things you're  supposed to down here. Joseph and his peeps get code names. CODE NAMES (omg). Adam-on-diamon is a place where the big wigs give their keys to Jesus via Adam, who will usher in the end times.
