Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints

Are Latter-day Saints A Part Of The Political Right?

Dr. Ralph Hancock, political philosophy professor, talks about Dr. Patrick Mason's "Proclaim Peace." Dr. Mason is the Latter-day Saint icon in academic circles on the topic of "Peace" and "Peacemaking."
 
But is his approach tenable for Latter-day Saints? Is it congruent with gospel principles or is is built on a framework of social justice?

Did Charlie Kirk Ignite Christianity? How Some Evangelical Leaders See the Grand Blanc, MI Shooting

In a Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece, author and scholar Taylor Petrey says that the Family Proclamation is just "commentary." That it is just describing the times in which it was written.
 
But both President Oaks and Elder Rasband stated strongly that the Proclamation to the World is "doctrine" and "revelatory." This is a perfect example of "Athens vs Jerusalem." So many now want to rid ourselves of the Proclamation or diminish its value into something like "commentary." Why? What is the push?

Family Proclamation Is Commentary?

This episode is a little off-brand for me, but I'm not going to put up with this any longer. Pastor Mark Driscoll has taken the tragedy in Michigan as an opportunity to bash Mormons. Despite the online outcry, Driscoll has doubled down and produced an anti-Mormon eBook, "Are Mormons Christian?"
 
Driscoll specifically states that Mormons do not believe the Creeds and therefore are not Christians.
 
Of course, Latter-day Saints do not accept the Creeds and are therefore "Non-Creedal Christians." Greg states that this is the best description of "Mormons" as Christians. And we fully accept it.

My Thoughts On President Nelson

BYU professor Ralph Hancock responds to BYU professor Kelly Patterson on the issue of liberalism in the church and journalist Jonathan Rauch. What does "Love" really mean, and how is it used politically?

Has Liberalism Gone Too Far In The Church And Our Culture?

Film producer Celene Anderson joins Greg to discuss her deep dive research into plural marriage required by a recent film she produced, The Angel. This is not a polygamy advocacy piece; it's an honest, nuanced look at history, women's voices, Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, and why early Saints believed and lived this practice. We tackle common distortions, the difference between eternal and temporal principles, connections to women's rights in early Utah, and how to talk about a topic that makes many believers uneasy—boldly, thoughtfully, and in defense of the faith.

What caused Lucifer to fall? What turned him? How did the War In Heaven begin?
 
Greg suggests that Lucifer's motivation for the war was initiated by his untethered empathy and malevolent compassion for those who would lose from judgment. The Plan of Salvation produced a disparity of outcomes for the Children of God and Lucifer did not accept this "unfair" element.
 
Matching current trends and ideologies to what we know about the War in Heaven may give us clues to confirm this assumption. Reading Moses chapter 4, we can see why Lucifer did not want judgment. He did not want disparity in outcomes for everyone and, therefore, had to remove agency.
