Enjoyed this

Because Jonathan is so chill, is able to have substantive discussion with othe open minded people. Glad Bushman has recognized Jonathan's good works.

Love Jonathan !

Ooh I love these episodes!!

I think the first time I was introduced to Jonathan Edwards was in one of your interview with Brother Neville.

Interesting thoughts about Johnathan Edwards. Question - if Joseph Smith was so influenced by Johnathan Edwards how do you reconcile the clear anti Calvinistic teaching in the Book of Mormon? Think about 2 Nephi 2:16 ‘Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other.’ And vs 27 ‘ Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh, and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life... or to choose captivity and death’. If Joseph Smith used Johnathan Edwards phraseology, he certainly did not borrow his theology or ideas. Why would Joseph Smith borrow phrases from Edwards and then produce a book that would be anathema to his strict Calvinist world view? That is a conundrum to your theory.

Id like to get his latest books on the translation. Zion is done by YHWH's ways not the ideas of men. Hes nice to email with. Wish he had more time to get into details.

What are the pearls you see in the restoration ♥️?

The principle taught in 2nd Nephi 27: 16 gets proven true over and over and over....

At the mark w/ like 10 minutes left - ppl who believe “everyone is working for Zion” and/or if we define Zion as “making the world a better place” - you don’t realize that not everybody agrees with the bizarre eschatological presuppositions about the second coming - or even that we all agree - like you can’t just assume indifferentism or collaborationism if others don’t agree - there is nothing tolerant or useful about pretending you can. That’s obviously objectively logically true, but it also comes from a Christian world view. With or Against. Not peace but the Sword. One Church, One Vicar. I’m all for charity and oppose denying commonality (while understanding degrees), but Neville’s Zion presupposes the validity of that which cannot be believed by the serious person.
