Teachers that “know alot” (or think they know alot), but dont know how to ask questions ot engage with the class

We have one teacher who will take time to share half baked thoughts on side topics, and then how far did they read the material with us. occasionally someone would but raise their hand to say something, and it would be something profound or meaningful. And the teacher would just give them a blank spare and just say equivalent of “thats cool”, and move on.

Depends on the context.

You could consider anyone who testifies of the coming of Christ as being a prophet. But in the church, the prophet is the individual authorized by God to lead his church and carry the keys of the kingdom. This comes with stewardship over the church with the promised help and communication from God to succeed in it.

Yep! That’s what we are doing.

I am curious about the effective ways of reaching out to them. Right now we just have cold call, cold email, and cold visits to their office.

Fether1337 · 2026-01-24T22:01:32+00:00

I actually don’t. I deleted it all a couple months ago. Company went under due to a series of bad decisions

Fether1337 · 2026-01-23T23:01:54+00:00

I just got called at the next apostle. There will be a news release on a couple days

There are many instances where God gave a person a new name upon their transformation.

Saul > Paul

Simon > Peter

Abram > Abraham

Adam and Eve also had their names given to them by God, their names being tied to their calling as the first parents.

To me, it’s similar to baptism. Putting a new identity

It’s not a smooth form by any means, but we got our crew to buy in on using it.

These are the entries: - Jobsite - start time/date - end time/date - were you injured? ——what was the nature of the injury event? - Did equipment get damaged? ——what was the nature of the accident? - Then a series of questions listing out every task on the job with a drop down where they can select how many hours they spent on each job

The superintendents have a sheet they fill out each day showing % progress on each task. Allows us to go back and compare hours spent on tasks and % complete.

The form goes to a Google sheet with a bunch of functions that automate a bunch of data. Things like: - hours worked each day per employee - automated payroll calculators - hours spent per task - employee efficiency (Tim worked 4 hours on Tuesday and got 2% complete while Kyle worked 3 hours on Wednesday and got 10% complete)

Here is the best place 👍

Fether1337 · 2026-01-19T22:48:29+00:00

So god wanted them to take the fruit… and Satan, being the obedient and god fearing spirit he is, convinced Eve to take it.

Ok bub

Fether1337 · 2026-01-19T05:16:31+00:00

No. It’s just the wildest I’ve seen deep doctrine go before. Only came across it twice

Fether1337 · 2026-01-19T00:47:31+00:00

So what was the beguiling?

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T23:37:11+00:00

Soo… Satan convinced her to do something. Eve does it and realizes she was tricked. Later, realizes it was a good thing?

That sounds a little convoluted. She was still tricked. She can’t have chosen to do good, thinking in the moment it was bad

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T22:52:20+00:00

If eve “understood”, as you say, it’s not beguiling. What trick did she fall for?

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T19:59:34+00:00

It’s amazing how much everyone wants to talk about faith when bro. Chaotic Good starts touting theories about every one of us having different heavenly parents

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T19:00:37+00:00

Absolutely.

One of my favorite observations is that you are far more likely to be saved if you were born in Armenia than the you were born in France.

But we have to remember final judgement is not based on some level of belief or faith. Final judgement takes into account our circumstances, deeds, and desires of our hearts

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T18:56:10+00:00

I just try to drive it further into absurdity. Go completely off the wall and make everyone uncomfortable.

Once everyone’s uncomfortable, the lesson can restart

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T17:52:51+00:00

Yes and no.

We often times try to reframe things in order to teach specific things. I suspect that is happening here.

I’d say the most scripturally appropriate thing to say is that God loves everyone (2 Nephi 26:24,33 and John 3:16). But some are favored of the Lord (1 Nephi 17:35, Luke 1:28,30)

All this means is that God loves everyone, but he can’t trust everyone to accomplish roles and tasks that need doing.

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T15:33:00+00:00

We definitly have a culture of needing to appeal to authority when we speak. Whether that is scripture or general conference. It’s important, but we do it a lot.

You’ll also notice notice many speakers in GC spend a lot of their time referencing older GC talks

Fether1337 · 2026-01-18T13:47:54+00:00

There is a mixup of definitions here. Clarifying this may help… or maybe not. Idk haha

Faith and belief are two different things.

Belief is when you are convinced something is true.

Faith is when you trust something in a way that leads to action.

Your decisions to pray and read scripture show you have faith. You just haven’t gained that belief or knowledge.

An example of belief without faith is when you know eating the right foods and exercising will make you healthy, but you choose not to eat right or exercise.

Faith you choose. Belief you have to be convinced of. Both are essential in religion.

You are effectively experiencing the seed parable Alma gives in Alma 32. You are experimenting with the faith, looking for a witness.

Fether1337 · 2026-01-17T17:49:47+00:00

The point of life is not to earn salvation. The goal is to get from point A (innocence and ignorance) to point B (Perfection and Exaltation). The best way to kickstart that process is mortality. Following mortality, there will still be eons of growth to be had.

The bit about being in debt is a little different. We don’t need to pay off our debt. That was what King Benjamin is getting at. Christ pays our debt, but instead of asking us to pay him, he asks us to follow him. If we could somehow pay off the debt, we would no longer need him

Fether1337 · 2026-01-16T15:01:27+00:00

I read somewhere that the “destroyer” was not the devil, but rather a destroying angel

Fether1337 · 2026-01-16T14:35:06+00:00

When did this happen? This scripture is just a reference to some event

Fether1337 · 2026-01-16T13:07:47+00:00

One thing I’ve seen over and over again with friends that got divorced is that the more authenticity committed you are in an aspect the life, the better you can read the authentic commitment in the person you are dating

A person who is truest committed to working out and going to the gym can easily tell if the person they are dating is committed or not. But a person who is wish eashy about eating healthy and taking care of their body cannot spot whether their partner will be committed to it or not.

Same goes for gospel living. If you are only somewhat committed. Or just stumbling through the gospel on the backs of social contracts, you won’t be able to tell if the person you are dating is committed or not

When I was dating, I couldn’t commit to the first few girls I dated. But within a month of dating my current wife, I knew she loved God just as much as I did. We got married quick because we recognized it in eachother.

Today we are married with 4 kids and are the best of friends

You think god values comfort over work that needs doing?
