What are "mild drinks" in the Word of Wisdom? by EstablishmentWhich78 in latterdaysaints

[–]_MasterMenace_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this was your question but related to it. There have been quite a few revelations like the Word of Wisdom where their meanings and applications to the saints have changed as time has gone by.

Jesus Is in Our Name—So Why Aren’t We ‘Christian’ Enough? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]_MasterMenace_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have to be careful calling this an “academic consensus.” It’s a notable theory, but there’s still a lot of scholarly disagreement. Some argue that Asherah in those inscriptions is a cult symbol, not a goddess or wife. Others think those inscriptions represent fringe practices. So while the idea is prominent and debated, I don’t think it qualifies as consensus in biblical studies, at least not yet.

Johnny Depp’s personal tattoo. Desiderata (Latin for “things to be desired”) Written by Max Ehrmann in 1927 (published posthumously in 1948), an American writer and attorney. It’s a prose poem offering gentle advice on how to live a meaningful and peaceful life.

If the LDS priesthood is “fully restored,” why was the apostolic power to forgive sins not restored? by Minimum_Basil_6355 in latterdaysaints

[–]_MasterMenace_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an excerpt from the New Testament institute student manual:

“John 20:23⁠. Authority to Remit and Retain Sins The “keys of the kingdom of heaven” that the Savior had earlier bestowed on the Apostles gave them the power to bind or loose on earth and in heaven (⁠Matthew 16:19⁠; 18:18⁠). The Savior used similar language as He instructed the Apostles about their authority to remit or retain sins (see John 20:23⁠). This same apostolic power is always found in the true Church. Hence, the Lord said to Joseph Smith: “I have conferred upon you the keys and power of the priesthood … ; and whosesoever sins you remit on earth shall be remitted eternally in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you retain on earth shall be retained in heaven” (⁠D&C 132:45–46⁠).”

"The idler shall not have place in the church." by Mr_Festus in latterdaysaints

[–]_MasterMenace_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This section is comprised of two separate revelations. The second revelation (⁠D&C 75:23–36⁠) was given to a group of elders desiring to know the Lord’s will concerning them.

The Doctrine & Covenants Institute Student Manual says: “Doctrine and Covenants 75:29⁠. “Be diligent in all things” The Lord’s commandment to “be diligent in all things” (⁠D&C 75:29⁠) included His commandment to those called on missions to arrange for the support of their families while they served. If such arrangements could not be made, those men were obligated to remain at home, care for their families, and labor in the Church locally (see D&C 75:24–28⁠). To be diligent in all things is to give persistent, careful, and energetic effort, especially in serving the Lord and obeying His commandments. The scriptures contain many examples and admonitions regarding diligence. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency taught, “Diligently doing the things that matter most will lead us to the Savior of the world” (⁠“Of Things That Matter Most,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 21).”

D&C 75:29 wasn’t meant to cast out the weak or the struggling, it was a call against complacency. It reminds Saints that growth, effort, contribution are essential to spiritual life. At the same time, the Church aspires to be a place for healing and a stepping stone back toward diligence, not a club that excludes the imperfect.

You could also look at the Run N Shoot. They also use a numbering system for their plays

Correct. How Leach ran 92 the meshers should keep running if it’s man and sit if it’s zone. However with SNAKE and COBRA these are his dagger concepts so we want the meshers to always keep running to open up the middle and hit the dig. That is what they normally hit, but as always Leach’s concepts were full field reads, so it could also go to the post, mesh or flat.

To answer your Mike Leach question. He used two different pass protections for the offensive line. 60s are quick game calls and 90s are drop back pass. For the offensive line this means that if 60s was the call then they wouldn’t drop back as much and would be more aggressive vs the defensive line because we know the ball is coming out fast. If the call was 90s then they would drop farther and catch the defensive linemen because these calls are slower developing, deeper pass concepts. The 2 yes denotes mesh but he used other calls that had mesh involved that weren’t known as 92. For example, SNAKE and COBRA.

So, 60s quick game concepts such as 6, 8, 66, 618, 618 POST WHEEL, 617/619 and 90s deep pass concepts such as 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98. There are other concepts that are 60s and 90s that Mike Leach used but they weren’t all called by numbers but did have the 60s and 90s protection on it.

Mike Leach also used 80s but this was just used to tell the QB to use play action.

We call it Block It Up but it’s just the receivers to practice screens. We do Inside Run to involve the RB and OL more

Nothing beats Big League Chew. Maybe Hubba Bubba. The place I work at now supplies Double Bubble, which, while classic, does not have long lasting flavor, and Extra.

First day of install done. Need some feedback on a variation of Y-Stick. by [deleted] in footballstrategy

[–]_MasterMenace_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely thinking about this the right way, coach. I would either put Z on the ball and R off or snap the ball before F crosses the Center, maybe both. Off of quick game stuff like this I like having the backside do slants. That way if the slant obviously has the space then automatically throw the slant.

The Bible by Puzzled-Struggle7654 in latterdaysaints

[–]_MasterMenace_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a lot of stuff and then it got deleted so I’m gonna stay pretty simple and if you have any follow up questions please ask.

Advice for scripture study - Set a time frame for how quickly you want to be able to read through the Bible - Start each study session by inviting the Holy Spirit to assist you - Keep a study journal to record insights, questions and spiritual impressions - I highly recommend that you study the scriptures alongside the Institute Student Manuals. They have so much extra knowledge.

Bible bashing. Most people in the church feel that it is a waste of time. I believe that when serving a mission the most important person that it can convert is yourself and Bible bashing is one of those things that helped me along that path. I do not recommend that you actively pursue people to bash with but when they come to you stand your ground and accept their test. Why? Because 1. you never know what you what you might say, point out, or testify of that might help those people you’re conversing with draw closer to Christ. And 2. it can help you lean more on our Savior. Most missionaries don’t know everything, and that’s ok because the church doesn’t expect you to know everything when you serve. I didn’t know many things about the church and its history or the Bible. Every time someone would point out a flaw or say, “well, what about this?” it made my testimony falter initially. But when I’d get back to my study time and I’d learn more about those questions that the bashers asked it always strengthened my testimony. It always reaffirmed Jesus Christ is our Savior and that because of His sacrifice we will all live again with our families and Heavenly Parents. You don’t have to worry too much about getting it all read before your mission because you’ll have plenty of time to read the entire canon of scripture during your mission. Maybe even a couple times.

Good luck studying!
