Bri Taylor > Recent Status Updates

Brigham was more of a local man. And hated the formalities of government.

Brigham struggled with separating church and state which upset some. He claimed the priesthood helped him make great decisions within government. It seems those that were kind to him, he was kind back. And if they didn’t, he was hard to deal with

the United States were a mess and not united at all

The miracle of the summer fog was SOOO good! Reading this, it’s very apparent how involved God became at the very last dire moments when He was needed most. God always comes THRU

Christopher Columbus was driven by a strong motive to escape poverty. He also credited his ambition and desire to gain more knowledge to the Holy Ghost

it is crazy that China didn’t discover/overtake America, they were literally soooo close, and so far advanced beyond any other civilization

Finally an America-loving book, everyone seems to hate America now.

Satan has already lost twice. In the pre-mortal life, and in the garden of Eden. God works in 3s. He is destined to lose again.

God placed enmity between Satan and “the woman” specifically. He is so anti woman, he’s had it out for us ever since.

God actually MADE the coats of skins for Adam and Eve HIMSELF. God tends to delegate a lot but he did this himself as a gift to Adam and eve. likewise, the endowment is also a gift and mirrors this.

To bring life into this world, Eve had to choose death in the garden. Which is a symbolic parallel to Gethsemane and the garden tomb. Where death is the only real choice if souls were to be saved.

Satan can only contribute to the exaltation of man by giving the opposition necessary for testing during mortal probation. Satan was simply a tool used to trigger the plan of mortality. Satans ruses are often turned to God’s use

ok so he literally thought white was the superior race and he was “helping” the native Americans by trying to force them to become “civilized”

Eden was a temple for Adam & Eve, and is a prototype for all temples: Gods presence can be found there, they worshipped, learned of ordinances, made sacred covenants, and were sealed together there. We, likewise, enter Eden when we enter the temple, which is why the endowment asks us to picture ourselves as Adam or Eve.

ok so he genuinely thought he was above the natives & was his duty to “convert” them bc they were uncivilized and not Mormon

To stop resisting a negative feeling, you have to allow the feeling to be present, and allow it, without trying to change it. You let it go by relaxing and letting it be there

it had to be a transgression because it had to be a deliberate choice. Adam & Eve couldn’t just be along for the ride and coast their way to the fall. The choice couldn’t be made in ignorance. It had to be completely deliberate.

transgression: stepping across a boundary. sin: contains evil. sin is wrong because of what it is, a transgression is wrong because someone declared it was

when upset, we shouldn’t label ourselves as the feeling. we are “aware we are feeling upset” but we are not upset. we cannot let negative emotions overrule us

I thought Adam named Eve but she was already named by God before she came to the garden of Eden

Brigham & Orson Pratt really went at it ☠️
