    Wow, wow, wow!!!This is so good! So empowering to everyone, men, women, the quirky, the nonconformist, eccentric, outsider, etc! We can all be instruments in His hands! God loves all of us and will extend His grace to deliver us from any bondage as long as we are willing to call upon Him and obey His words!

    "It's ok let's try again." -Jesus. What a powerful ending phrase to this book. Jesus has perfect love and will work with you even though you fall again and again. If you turn to God, He will have mercy, patience, and love for you and say, it's ok, let's try this again.

    I really love this program. Taylor and Tyler, you are both excellent teachers. I love your personal remarks and insights. You are both fun and funny. And you are both very encouraging in moving forward with faith. What a difference this has made for me in strengthening my faith, learning more about the gospel. Because I have made a consistent effort to immerse myself in the scriptures, I feel that I know my Heavenly Father in a more personal way. Studying along with you both has made such a difference. Please tell Avram Shannon he is SO MUCH FUN. He is a riot, and a great teacher. I would love to see him again. I really enjoyed this lesson.

He added perspectives and background information and feelings that are pertinent to us learning! Please bring him back! With Taylor and Tyler of course 😉

    What I loved was three men successfully sharing time to teach together in a marvellous way, showing no damaged egos and without any attempt to outdo each other.
    Avram, the guest was so helpful in making things so simple and pertinent to me as the listener though I could tell his knowledge of the Old Testament to be deep as well as his grasp of the concepts. He was able to teach me simple things about how important we are to God and how many times God willingly accepts our mistakes and lets us begin again.
    Tyler, I loved what you said "What an amazing thing it would be to spend less time comparing ourselves to each other and feeling either superior or inferior in those comparisons. What if we spent more of our time ..." ETC
    That was pure inspiration and I've taken it to heart. Gail Hellings

Teachers bridging between ancient time and our modern time explaining through the spirit is of the lord like opening channel of the universe. clearly understand the unbreakable everlasting covenant god made. Therefore we fail must get up again, if we suffer seek comfort. We can not fail nor give up because savior said "come follow me."🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

I have felt closer to my Savior by following along as you and your guests teach those of us who once thought the Old Testament was a bunch of stories about people whose names are difficult to pronounce that lived centuries ago. The Old Testament is alive with symbolism and is relevant in many ways to us. Incredible!!

I feel like I need to watch and re-watch todays lesson because 1 time was not enough. Thank you so much for bringing Avram to today’s lesson!! His depth and added feeling and wisdom astounded me. Sometimes my son, who is Autistic, does that to me when we are studying together. Makes me wonder where he came from. Avram taught me so much and made me stop a ponder more than a few times.

    I know this may come across a petty, especially when these guys are so well educated, great teachers, and helpful in our study. But I had to chuckle that Avram and Tyler were going to teach together. They each have such a unique way of enunciating. Avram: judgeSSS-uh. EmulaTT-uh. Tyler: QWEssshtun. I hate to say but I have had to stop listening regularly here purely due to the diction. So it was ironic to have the two with such unique diction together. But I still learned a lot and appreciate their scholarly insights!

    Consider this: Samson was a Nazerite, which means of all those in Israel, he had a special covenant with God, the violation of which caused the the loss of his blessings, leaving him to the buffetings of Satan.
    As members of Christ's family, we also make special covenants with God; we are continually making covenants with God; accepting positions in the Church of Christ, and dedicating our lives and families to His service. We are like modern-day Nazerites, who can ALSO lose our blessings if we do not keep our covenants and are also left to the buffetings of Satan, until we truly repent, as Samson did.

    Well, another TRIPLE treat this week with Avram. Judges for me is a great lesson WHY Israel needed a REAL King which they really struggled with and never really understood. Following Joshua's death, they not only lost the Leadership to keep them on the covenant path but they lost the UNITY among the tribes. Following his death, they became this loosely confederation of tribes then fell into the all too familiar Pride Cycle so prevalent through the Book of Helaman. I love Tyler's sense of humor again, "Samson ends up dying from a fairly common foot condition that exists today, "FALLEN ARCHES" Oh. if Samson only had a nice pair of Dr. Scholls sandals !!!!

I’m even thinking about the withdrawal of Israel…. Specially in the end of the chapter when “he cuts her in 12. Pieces”” I’m sorry I’m just curious and I want to learn … hahaha it’s not like my testimony depends on this… the invitation on Vers 30 got my attention… thank you guys…

    I dont really understand why Simson lost his power since it wasnt him who cut of his hair. Apart from that he has sinned many times before so that he could have lost his power. And why was his power related to his Nasirean vow anyway? What does his physical power have to do with the vow? Any ideas?
    In addition to this, anyone realized that actually the Abrahamic sacrafice was effectuated by someone, namely Jiftach? Why did the Lord not prevent him from sacraficing his daughter.
    As to violence, why was Gideon considered so special even to the extent that his death was revenged, since he committed one of the biggest sins, which was idol worhipping it, while others were killed AND disgraced for it? I mean, Gideon was also killed but according to the text not because he idol worshipped.
    I really love this program, it helps so much, thank you so much BoM Central.

  • @rocks7126
    @rocks7126 2 года назад +2

    Deborah is not in the capacity as a prophet but she is the wife of a prophet that is why she is called a prophetess just as in Isaiah 8, Isaiah’ wife is called the prophetess.
    Another thing to note is that it was common for the seer/prophet to have his wife be his spokesman for him as Aaron was to Moses. That was a common practice when persons came to receive direction from the Lord through his chosen servants.
    Other cultures used this practice as well in those times though they where not called of God but sought divination through means which where not of God.
    It is amazing to see a righteous women Deborah who was a warrior and a skilled fighter whom the spirit of the Lord rushed upon who the Lord raised up to lead the armies of Israel at that time into battle, though she was a woman and not a man which was not common.
    As I understand, “the spirit of the Lord rushed upon” I can only imagine the prophet laying his hands upon the chosen deliverer and the spirit coming upon that individual with such power by along with the blessing received under God’s prophet which was noticed by the armies of Israel that this indeed is the one whom the Lord chose to deliver them.
    God works in a divine order which can’t be broken. It is a patriarch order which is eternal. Women or a wife would always act under the direction of the priesthood. Yes, righteous women do prophesy for as it testifies in Joel 2:28, “..and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy..”
    All in all though we do not here of any prophets we can conclude that the Lord did have prophets among them during that time and they where present but the people did not adhere to their council as they should have. But only in times of great distress as we see them in bondage by other nations who ruled over them through their disobedience to the commandments and covenants of God.
    But God raised up deliverers in his loving kindness and mercy for his people when they were sufficiently humble themselves and called upon him. It is beautiful to see the compassion, patience and long suffering God has for us.
    Just as the dear brother said it was not designed for us to go through this pride cycle but to go through the cycle he outlined which keeps us on the covenant path. See time stamp 29:00-30:15 minutes.
    Remember the records are only an abridgment of a larger history.
    Good lesson brethren, thanks again.

    Ah, the Pride Cycle, the great hamster wheel of human history. There's a simple reason why it works as it does. When we are at peace and prosper, it's easy to convince ourselves that we "deserve" to live better than others because we work harder or are more righteous or are just better in some way. From there, it's a short leap to say that's one's prosperity comes because we're the "chosen" people, born better than others (i.e. Animal Farm's idea of "All are equal... but some are more equal than others."). Pretty soon, we expect God to do our bidding on our terms because we are "chosen"... and then become disillusioned when God has His own ideas. "Well, who needs God, then? We have the power for ourselves!" We might hear ourselves cry. Of course, the process of distancing one's self from God's path (i.e. the "some are more equal than others" mentality) leads to the very hardships and tribulations that arise (when we oppress others - whether of another nation or of one's own society or family - we should not then be surprised if others oppress us in return eventually). Once we're brought low in humility, society returns to values of equality (because when all are brought low, suddenly real equality looks appealing again). Then, when we are ready to stand as equals with those less fortunate, the Lord blesses us again, and we enter into peace (for there can be no peace without justice and equality for even the "lowest"/poorest person in a society), and we once again prosper... and the cycle starts all over again. It's like watching a hamster run on a wheel over and over and over and over ... and over and over again.
    It's a simple lesson that, seemingly, the world is STILL not ready to learn. "The powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness." (D&C 121:36) There's no shortcut. There's no secret or "trickity-trick", either. It's just a pure and simple truth that how we treat the "least of these thy brethren" is how we will ourselves be treated. As I say in one of the books I wrote, the only power that will ever truly matter is that power which flows unto us "without compulsory means", and anyone who embraces any other kind of power is only fooling themselves.
