Wondering in the Wilderness (Video)
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.” -Exodus 12:51
If the Exodus story didn’t happen, what is the point of Israel being slaves in Egypt, wondering in the desert, and committing genocide to gain the promised land? Looking at the story through they eyes of Mormon Kabbalah can grant us insight.
What’s in a Name
Vayeitzei 2020
Genesis 28:10-32:3
The Sages teach us in this parasha story which refers to events that transpired with Jacob: in Ecclesiastes there is a verse that talks about the sun rising and setting. The sun set early so that Jacob would have to sleep in Beth-El on his way to Haran, and it rose early on him in order to heal him on his journey to Haran. Upon reading this report by the Sage I could see that Jacob’s story is about our own soul’s life journey.
Church vrs Torah
Reminiscing
In the shower this morning I was considering the concept of “church”. Every time I run into a conversation on – church – I get uneasy. I don’t believe in church but I know the person does. The moral structure of churches are hypocritical, limited and artificial. I believe in the structure of society Moses laid out in the Torah, is more honest, and lends itself to spiritual connectedness to Gd.
