Beskrivelse

https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/d-and-c-132-law-of-plural-marriage 0:00 Introduction - Janiece Johnson, tough questions, D&C 132 5:10 The timeline 7:45 Marriage relationships of the day 11:20 Eternal marriage covenant 15:00 Definitions related to marriage 16:55 An Abrahamic sacrifice 22:00 Women’s experiences and records 27:00 Seeking God’s will 31:10 Helen Mar Kimball 35:17 Why was this practice necessary? 39:39 Eternal marriage seal In this episode of Come Follow Church History with Lynne Hilton Wilson, Dr. Wilson sits down with historian Dr. Janiece Johnson to explore one of the most complex and often misunderstood chapters in Latter-day Saint history—the introduction of plural marriage in Nauvoo. Together, they discuss the deep faith, sacrifice, and obedience of early Saints who strove to follow what they sincerely believed was a divine commandment revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Despite the personal heartache and social challenges that came with practicing plural marriage, figures like Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and many faithful women and men sought to live this principle with devotion, humility, and integrity. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Johnson also delve into the eternal perspectives behind the doctrine of eternal marriage, exploring how the Saints in Nauvoo viewed family, sealing, and covenant relationships as essential parts of God’s plan of salvation. Though plural marriage was a defining test of faith for the early Church, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not practice this principle today. This episode invites viewers to look at this sensitive topic with empathy, understanding, and appreciation for the faith and courage of those who lived it. *Donate to Scripture Central: https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/donations *Sign up for our email list: https://forms.aweber.com/form/87/2078810487.htm *Download our free scripture study tool, the ScripturePlus app: https://www.scriptureplus.org/ ____________________________________________ *The opinions expressed may represent the views of the individual creators or guests alone, and do not necessarily represent official positions of Scripture Central or of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. *This channel may make use of copyrighted material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Secrets of Gethsemane | Unearthing the Place of Jesus' Agony

Many are familiar with the Garden of Gethsemane as the place where Jesus prayed in deep anguish before His arrest (Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42; Luke 22:39–46). However, few are aware of what a Gethsemane actually was—a cave, or grotto with an olive press—and that early Christians might have preserved the very place where Jesus prayed that fateful night. This video helps viewers understand the significance of the Garden of Gethsemane as it relates to the events of Holy Week and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Genesis 6-11 & Moses 8 I Come Follow Me I Servants, Concubines and Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson

Lynne's Handouts: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/genesis-6-11-moses-8?searchId=0eb3e36bfb24dcd9bb1d1bece1531216b59539a8fde17ee80224af0653c92aa3-en-v=4a5c2d6 0:00 Intro - Noah & his family members 3:00 Role of women on the ark 6:04 The wives of Noah’s sons 10:38 Other ancient flood narratives 13:00 Abraham and Sarah CORRECTION: At the 3:38 and 3:48 minute mark, Professor Hilton made a mistake by referring to Moses instead of Noah. "Noah was 492 years old when Shem was born." In this episode, we dive into Moses chapter 8 and Genesis 6–11, exploring the powerful stories surrounding Noah, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel through a Latter-day Saint lens. These chapters highlight a world struggling with increasing wickedness, yet still touched by prophetic warnings, covenants, and divine mercy. Viewers will gain insight into how the Joseph Smith Translation in the book of Moses expands the biblical account, especially in emphasizing the role of preaching, repentance, and moral agency before the Flood. The discussion connects these ancient events to modern discipleship, asking what it means to remain faithful in a corrupt society. Special attention is given to the women mentioned or implied in these chapters—such as the “daughters of men” in Genesis 6, Noah’s wife, and the wives of his sons—who are often overlooked but are essential to the story of preservation and covenant continuity. Their presence reminds us that families, marriages, and righteous women were central to God’s plan to carry humanity forward after the Flood. By noticing these women in the text, this episode invites viewers to read more carefully and see how both men and women participate in God’s work across generations, helping build a bridge from the world before the Flood to the renewed world that followed.
