Building LDS faith by sharing fresh new perspectives on how LDS beliefs can mesh with mainstream history, science & religious pluralism.

LDS Insights & Faith Universalization

What is Christian Universalism? Are there alternate ways to look at fundamental LDS conceptions such as the Three Degrees of Glory, The Only True Church doctrine and The Great Apostasy? Have LDS members misunderstood the scriptures which reveal these topics in ways that cause our members and youth to loose their testimonies and leave the church? Can lds universalism help turn a faith crisis into a faith-building transition? This section walks through many concepts that when misunderstood, create a ‘faith shelf’ ripe for breaking, and gives insights that hopefully help build and sustain faith in meaningful ways.

Book of Mormon Geography & Archaeology

In the debate among LDS members between Heartland and Mesoamerican Book of Mormon geography models, this section presents the Book of Mormon Continental-Mexican Highland Model, as the only model ever put forward which largely aligns with all of Joseph Smiths quotes concerning Book of Mormon geography, as well as matching most the continents largest and most influential ancient cultures to those of the Book of Mormon.

Prophesy & The Future

Can the future really be known? This section introduces readers to some unique new prophetic concepts based on LDS scripture and the works of a modern Jewish mystic named Jachanan Ben Kathryn. This Mormon-esqe Messianic Jew had a theophany experience in 1996 leading to the writing of the Book of Ben Kathryn. A fascinating Jewish prophetic work with many topics that align surprisingly well with LDS thought and scripture. Section Overview->

LDS Reformational Ideas

Why are so many youth leaving Christianity and organized religion? In this age of internet, AI and information, I suggest that in the same way that the printing press forced the reformation of 16th century Orthodox Christianity, in our day organized religions have once again failed to keep up with the flood of truth covering the earth. Even in the LDS church, I wonder if we’ve fallen behind in taking a serious look how we might need to reinterpret or reform some of our traditions and classical interpretations of our foundational revelation. This section takes a hard look at a number of LDS traditions and practices to see if there might be more effective ways to align ourselves with scripture and the revelations of Joseph Smith.

Ancient Text/ Revealed Texts

A revelatory text is one which is revealed through a revelator; or in modern terms it is a “channeled” text revealed through a religious prophet or mystic. History is replete with religious founders and spiritualists who claim communion with higher beings. A select few of these individuals and their works end up producing movements which are amazingly original and creative. They posses literary elements which seem far beyond the possible abilities of the author, and contain information and knowledge which is so profound and unique that they end up garnering millions of believers and drastically affecting the course of human history.
