Are LDS open to Theistic Evolutionary Theory?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
Thank you immensely for this....... Here is a statement from a near death experiencer that I think Latter day Saints will tend to take more seriously and understand better than most Evangelical Christians will tend to do. https://www.near-death.com/science/articles/richard-eby-and-secomd-coming-of-christ.html#a03 Dr. Richard Eby: -
Very interesting indeed! https://www.united2restore.com/ Full article is here: https://www.united2restore.com/2017/09/18/who-will-populate-the-land-of-israel-in-the-future/

Another suggestion would be for Israeli cities and towns to study The Worgl Austria Local Money experiment, especially as it was applied by over one thousand USA towns and cities during the Great Depression and.......... many Israeli towns and cities could create a town or city alternative currency unit..... (possibly digital through a database)....... A Volunteerism Hour would be one valid variation on this rather like has been done by Ithaca, New York...... and then armed with that digital currency of some sort that Israeli town or city would be able to make it possible for anybody that they wanted to assist to visit Israel to live and work there, (or volunteer there)..... in such a way that the cost of living in Israel would either be drastically reduced if not totally eliminated. By the time that many of us Canadians turn sixty five, (four years from now in my case)..... We would then theoretically be able to live in Israel..... on our Canadian seniors benefits....... supplemented by the reduction in costs through organized volunteerism in some form.... and this whole thing could in theory be win - win - win - win - win both for that Israeli town or city as well as for many Canadians or Americans who for some reason would be able to be of service to Israelis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Hours As I am sure all of you can guess I am hoping that Mr. Hanoch Young may be able to take this idea to some Israeli towns or cities and actually do something with this that could potentially make Latter day Saints tourism to Israel much less expensive than has been the case in the past? http://www.whatcomwatch.org/php/WW_open.php?id=717

Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
To the degree that my comment on this public video was incompetent, my apologies.... but I was doing the best that I could to attempt to set you up for a win - win - win - win - win scenario with relatively low risks! -
One possible option that would be especially practical in a city where there is both a large number of Latter day Saints as well as a large population of Rabbinic Jews would be meeting in the local LDS ward on Saturdays... with a possible title of "Latter day Saint Noahide Movement" or something along that line and you actually invite Jewish Rabbi's in to lead many of those meetings. One meeting with the famous Rabbi Alon Anava might just get a million hits on Youtube and the result could be beyond interesting! Although I am no expert I have at least been thinking about this type of thing for forty seven of my sixty years and I am beyond merely impressed with the wonderful and encouraging response on this forum to:
-
The basic concept of Latter day Saints taking several steps toward fulfilling Ezekiel chapter thirty seven could be turned into reality films about specific LDS families beginning to make Aliyah to Israel but it would be great if a documentary would be done on this? Do you know of any LDS documentaries that may have been done related to this already?
-
Although I am technically not yet a Latter day Saint I am seeing that the LDS have a massive head start over any other large Christian church that I can think of when it comes to them being basically prepared to take some serious steps toward the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37: "Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand." (Ezekiel 37:16,17) For one thing Latter day Saints tend to take near death experience accounts very seriously and over this past year near death experiencer Rabbi Alon Anava has made my personally taking serious steps toward Israel much more possible.

"It's time Christians started including Latter-day Saints"
DennisTate replied to MrShorty's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
This message that I just posted to several Latter day Saint discussion groups is going to get you some attention. If you do your research you will be prepared to to catch the metaphorical football and run with the ball all the way to get a touchdown with this basic idea! I admit it!!!! Your White Horse President Prophecy that goes all the way back to 1843 really, really, really, really has me thinking and researching! "The White Horse President prophecy and saving the USA constitution and dollar." If a semi-reality science fiction film series entitled along the lines of "The White Horse President," set supposedly in an artistic 2012 to 2020 was proposed in 2020, then how many actors on this earth would be capable of taking on that role very seriously? One..... Mr. Mitt Romney! Back in 2012 I read a prediction that Mr. Mitt Romney had some sort of "Mantle of Darius", (whatever that is), and it is interesting that gifted Christians are saying that President Donald J. Trump has some sort of "Mantle of Cyrus." I would really like to see Latter day Saints and Evangelical Christians come together to defeat Atheism and the extreme political left because it seems to me that you can accomplish this....... .IF.... both groups will strive to see each other as being in some way or another better than themselves. -
"It's time Christians started including Latter-day Saints"
DennisTate replied to MrShorty's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
Now that I have had more time to research LDS teachings I can state emphatically that NO OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCH SEEMS TO BE AS WELL PREPARED TO FORM THE LEADERSHIP OF "EPHRAYIM" IN a sincere attempt to do something necessary and productive with Ezekiel chapter thirty seven: Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. I believe that God caused all prophecies to be written in such a way that a loophole was given in the symbolism used. For example... in Revelation it talks about a third of the trees being burned up.... and all the grass..... but Isaiah says that all flesh is as grass...... .the Psalms says that a man can be like a tree........ and the Holy Spirit can be like fire....... So....... could a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit from April 30, 2020 for the next ten years............. radically alter the way that the prophecies are fulfilled in our near future??????? Could the prophet Elijah have altered history if he had NOT........... RAN AWAY from Queen Jezebel and her armies?In 1979 I was at the Worldwide Church of God Festival of Tabernacles / Sukkot in Charlottetown, P. E. I., (at least that is what it was called back in those days)..... .and a Pastor gave a sermon on I Kings chapter 18........ and added some bonus material.His theory was that Elijah...... had a window of opportunity to set in motion a series of events that would have led to the restoration of the Northern Kingdom of Israel........ but....... in order to do it he had to NOT RUN AWAY TO MT. HOREB??????? -
Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
Rabbi Alon Anava did a nearly three hour lecture a few days ago that in my opinion do a phenomenal job of letting us all know where we are at in terms of how close we are to the Era of Moshicah beginning: "The final war - What has been is what will be - The fall of the new world order" Near death experiencer Christian Andreason chapter two: ..... "What about beings from other planets, do you think they visit here? Yes I do. And I think those who have been permitted to cross over into our world have been doing so for a very long time now (for a very important purpose) as Divinely arranged by Heaven. Since my NDE, because of a few things I was shown, it is now my deep belief that some of the more phenomenal events depicted in the Old Testament (such as the Great flood of Noah, the parting of the Red Sea for Moses, the mass explosion of Sodom and Gomorrah, etc) are not only very true, but were moments in time which were orchestrated and performed by beings of a much higher order and intelligence than our ownwho may have volunteered their technology and understandings or even sent to help guide and shape a culture within humanity during a pressing time within its development and evolution."

Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz 2 hrs · I could be way, way, way off, and my apologies if I am, but I would say that you are now prepared to see what I think may be hidden meaning in: "but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Aza'zel." (Leviticus 16:10) My theory is that the next major increase for the kingdom of Moshiach ben David is into the realms of the Nephilim, the human and Watcher hybrids who caused the earth to be so violent before the flood of Moses. "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9:7) I could be wrong but I do believe that hidden meaning in Yom Kippur sets the stage for the nation of Israel to end up with two..... rather than merely one Jewish temple. One temple will be near the Gihon Spring but the other one will be the central area of the Ezekiel chapter forty to forty eight temple complex. The fulfillment of Ezekiel forty seven..... sets the stage for the restoration of rain in due season to Israel as well as to every Middle Eastern nation that will allow Jews and Noahides to freely travel to Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Sukkot -Tabernacles. (The Central area of the Ezekiel Temple complex could be several kilometers outside Jerusalem). I could be wrong but there are a number of reasons why I think that Latter day Saints may be able to take the leadership role in representing "Ephrayim" at this time in a partial fulfillment of Ezekiel chapter thirty seven. "Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?" -
One suspicion of mine is that there may actually be one thousand years or so between each Zechariah chapter fourteen and Acts chapter one fulfillment with each fulfillment of Ezekiel thirty seven. I would like to think that a significant increase in the amount of the Holy Spirit poured out in each new time line or fulfillment of Ezekiel chapter thirty seven will make each new time line far, far, far better than we might be able to even imagine from what we have seen in the past.

Back in 1990 I went through a time of being EXTREMELY disappointed with Messiah Yeshua - Jesus after I found out that the Soul Sleep idea was incorrect and that powerful evidence existed of there really being some sort of a "hell." For many years I had been wondering about possible hidden meaning in Leviticus 16:10 and I felt that perhaps by volunteering to become some sort of "Yom Kippur goat" I could perhaps become like the proverbial Aesop's fable mouse that chewed the net that held the lion, and release Messiah the Passover Lamb, Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to reign over the earth at a whole new level of authority and power. Other than for the historical example of Bar Abbas / Barabbas I had no idea what this could really mean so as I prayed from 1990 to 2000 I speculated on what this could mean and one of the things that I volunteered to do was to go back to when Adolf Hitler was two years of age........ I told Messiah Yeshua - Jesus He could bump off or otherwise remove his dad....... Jesus could hook me up with his mom..... and I would raise the little guy very differently than his dad had done and voila...... in that new time line either no Holocaust or at minimum it is greatly decreased in intensity. I now know that in 1990 and 1991 I was actually volunteering to go back into 1891. I guess I am kind of emotionally involved in this philosophical question. Another specific time period that I prayed about was the minutes and hours between when Eve at of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and when she convinced Adam to eat of it as well. It has taken The Ancient of Days the Father and Messiah Yeshua - Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the other Elohim infinite time in the past to be able to create Adam and Eve and now with the sacrifice of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus completed....... I believe that this earth in many ways is even greater than Eden as experienced by Adam and Eve before their fall.

Could the HOLY SPIRIT be YHWH the Mother?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
Good points... but somebody of the calibre of Moses have to be careful when they make such statements...... "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!" (Numbers 11:29) In the past the world was like this: Jer 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. But the future will be so different..... And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:34) In one decade Dr. Eben Alexander's NDE account has helped a lot of people to begin to rise up out of their extreme skepticism and unbelief. His account was translated into over thirty languages if I remember correctly. -
Yes....... the Cyclic Model of the Universe was presented by Stephen Hawking Ph. d. in chapter thirteen of Stephen Hawking's Universe and I would guess that that could have been one of his motives for writing about this but..... .on the plus side... .that chapter sets believers up in such a way that this idea could potentially be used to defeat dogmatic Atheistic teachings in our universities. https://www.near-death.com/science/research/future.html#a03 3. The future is not fixed and can change During Karen Schaeffer's NDE, she was shown her children's future as it would exist if she decided to remain in the light. Because she decided to return, the future she was shown did not happen. This suggests that the future is always changing from moment to moment based upon our current actions and decisions. This principle supports quantum mechanic principles. One of Margot Grey's NDE research subjects stated: "During my experience ... I was also shown events that are likely to happen in the near future, but was made to understand that nothing is absolutely fixed and that everything depends on how we choose to use our own free will, that even those events that are already predestined can be changed or modified by a change in our own way of relating to them." (Grey, 1985, p. 123) NDE experiencer Howard Storm was given information on how the future is not fixed: "We have free will. If we change the way we are, then we can change the future which they showed me. They showed me a view of the future, at the time of my experience, based upon how we in the United States were behaving at that time. It was a future in which a massive worldwide depression would occur. If we were to change our behavior, however, then the future would be different." (Howard Storm) Howard Storm was also told how a single person can change the world: "All it takes to make a change was one person. One person, trying, and then because of that, another person changing for the better. They said that the only way to change the world was to begin with one person. One will become two, which will become three, and so on. That's the only way to affect a major change" (Howard Storm)

I have to admit that the popular media is definitely using this idea to make serious bucks. Near death experiencers also were shown material that could sound a lot like multiple time lines...... which I do wonder if this could imply multiple fulfillments of Ezekiel chapter thirty seven???? https://www.qsl.net/w5www/brinkley.html

Rabbi Alon Anava comments on the COVID 19
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
This new video by Rabbi Alon Anava on the "The final war - What has been is what will be - The fall of the new world order" will be of great interest to many Latter day Saints. We have more in common than we might tend to imagine with our Jewish brethren. -
Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
I actually just posted the following to my "wall:" An interesting graph indeed! All of this has what could be termed considerable "Artistic Value" and one possible way to respond to this is to attempt to move the Canadian dollar to par with the USA dollar through "ART?" "The White Horse President prophecy and saving the USA constitution and dollar." My belief is both Latter day Saints as well as Jews are now in a sufficient population to make this prediction applicable to both of their people groups if they could cooperate on a project that they could agree has considerable value to both Jews as well as Latter day Saints. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11:6) Wise ol' King Solomon though added a necessary detail: "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things." (Ecclesiastes 10:19) -

Could the HOLY SPIRIT be YHWH the Mother?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
On the other hand...... it was really scripture itself that was my ultimate guide during these last thirty years of studying these accounts. Near death experience accounts were used to get me rethinking my understanding of scriptures. For example Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong and his son Evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong taught a very dogmatic variation on the Soul Sleep doctrine that I soon began to see as probably in error..... once I read some of the near death experience account of Dr. George Ritchie. Ultimately it was 2 Corinthians 12: 2-4 that was changing my mind..... even more so than the NDE account. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. https://www.near-death.com/experiences/exceptional/george-ritchie.html#a05c -
Could the HOLY SPIRIT be YHWH the Mother?
DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
That is an excellent question and to a high degree my answer is YES! As of today, April 22, 2020 I am of the belief that near death experience accounts are a very up to date fulfillment of this promise that I believe is being fulfilled more and more and more and more and more each day, each week and each month and each years in our time period. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. (John 16:25) Do I absolutely accept all near death experience accounts? No.... Matthew chapter four reminds me of the near death experience account of Rabbi Alon Anava and many others but who did Messiah Yeshua - Jesus meet during this brush with death initiated to a degree by prolonged fasting? The Tempter! One of the criteria that I use to judge the value of near death experience accounts is IF... .THEY FIT WITH SCRIPTURES OR NOT..... secondly I consider the Life Review important because it appears to be part of a covenant between our Creator and all mankind.

Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. I was taught that this rider on the White Horse was the anti-Christ and false religion in general due to the comparison with Matthew chapter twenty four. I have to admit that there is logic in this theory due to the rider on the white horse who has the sword...... clearly being Messiah Yeshua - Jesus. Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. But I think that it is worthwhile to look at the possibility that we are living in the time period when the gospel as it is preached to all nations will have a lot more power behind it than we may tend to imagine. The calling and TO DO LIST that the final Elijah has could be termed almost "Messianic." http://www.drbo.org/chapter/26048.htm Mat 17:11 ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. "(Malachi 4) I also am rather impressed with the evidence that the final Elijah movement......... accomplishes what it is supposed to do! My point is that perhaps that white horse and rider with the bow should perhaps not make us as fearful as he tended to do in the past. Former skeptic and near death experiencer was shown that God wanted the whole world to be millennial by the year 2185, (two centuries from his 1985 near death experience). https://www.near-death.com/experiences/exceptional/howard-storm.html#a04

DennisTate replied to DennisTate's topic in Jewish Beliefs Board
Here we are in April 21, 2020 and it seems obvious to me that the USA dollar is under attack.............. I think that the USA constitution is indeed hanging by a thread......... and yes... I am hopeful that a Latter day Saint prophecy going back to 1843 or so may be like the proverbial glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel! The world needs Latter day Saints and your allies to rise up and pull off something kind of like when Joshua led Israel across the Jordan River?! The White Horse President prophecy and saving the USA constitution and dollar. "but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORDto make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wildernessto Aza'zel." (Leviticus 16:10)
