The Split-Brain Model of the Gospel

About this article: It was the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Dr. Betty Edwards that first got me comparing split-brain research with the gospel.  I had developed some ideas about it, but never wrote them down, though I did verbalize them to what4anarchy.  Recently, though, at the library, I picked [...]

We have found the Messias!

From the scriptures and the words of living prophets we can understand where we stand in time and we can know the season of the return of Gods Servants. The divine time line of the earth consists of nine periods including six seals, the hour of judgment (beginning of the Seventh Seal) the paradisaical millennium and the little season (remainder of the seventh seal)

The End of the State of Israel

Some background
For the past few months, I’ve been searching the scriptures an awful lot, especially the prophecies concerning the last days and the fulness of times.  In the last week (January 7-14), as I read the scriptures that dealt with the scattering and gathering of Israel, I was also listening to the news we’re getting [...]

Prop 8: A WARNING FROM OUR PAST

“Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana, American philosopher

What if…the Lord brought the Prophet Joseph Smith back from the dead to lead the church?

What If…?
Back when I was still collecting Marvel Comics (around 1984), there was a series called “What If…”  The What If entry of Wikipedia describes it this way:
What If, sometimes rendered as What If…?, is the title of several comic book series published by Marvel Comics, exploring “the road not traveled” by its various characters. [...]
