Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; 31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. 32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

@Steelblaidd super weird that my only request was to not twist scripture to justify hording monetary wealth. And you choose to do exactly that.

@@jamesbayless5842 So if preparing in times of plenty for times of famine is not to your mind what a church should do. How do you think they should manage their finances?

Bro, what right do you have to when a charitable organization uses it’s donations?

100 billion divided by 17 million is about 5,000-6,000$$$. Each member would only get that amount if they divvied it all out.

@VincentNoot i would say you have no responsibility to share your personal financial information. My assumption is you haven't claimed to be the one and only direct line to communication with God. I also assume you haven't made your money by collecting charitable donations under the pretense of building God's kingdom on earth. All to say you aren't/ shouldn't be held to the same expectations as the church. I for one have paid tithing and fast offerings for 25 years as an adult with a reasonable income. It has been very disappointing to discover the truth about where a portion of that money has gone.

Hey, laddie, our leaders at times fell into massive errors, you can call us a cult, and you don’t have to agree with our beliefs. I got a question for you - what do you have to offer? Let’s look into that 🌞

What is the source of those numbers?

@@brettmajeske3525 I’ll see if I can find them again and post them. They are straight from a church publication and a quote from Elder Oaks.

@@Commenter2121 I think you might be misunderstanding, if you are referring to the talk I think you might be. There is certainly a difference in extemporaneously talking about good done, and official budget numbers. Oaks was not talking about all humanitarian work, but rather specifics about the good that had been done by a single program of the Church. Those numbers would not have included all the other charitable welfare programs.

@@Commenter2121 be quiet pretender.

Nothing but lies, by liars. Who, by the way, don't belong to any religion or church.

@@WatchingwaitingG2D You will have to explain that one.

Brigham Young did indeed make Utah a slave territory when he endorsed and legalized slavery in the Utah Territory in the mid-1800s. Historically, in 1852, the Utah Territorial Legislature, under Young’s leadership, passed the Act in Relation to Service, which permitted both Native American and African slavery. This is a documented fact that reflects the legal framework of that time, though the number of enslaved people in Utah was relatively small compared to other states. From a biblical and Torah perspective, the Bible speaks of slavery in various contexts, but the ultimate message of both the Old and New Testaments is about liberation and freedom. In the Torah, we see instructions about how to treat servants with dignity (Leviticus 25:39-46) and the practice of the Jubilee year, where debts were forgiven, and slaves were freed (Leviticus 25:10). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of freedom from all kinds of bondage, particularly spiritual (John 8:36), and Paul speaks in Galatians 3:28 about equality in Christ, regardless of race or status: 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.' Additionally, many of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other early Jewish texts emphasize justice and mercy, values that are in stark contrast to the practice of slavery. While Brigham Young may have allowed slavery in Utah, it is clear from the teachings of the Bible, the Torah, and the writings of the early Jewish people that God’s heart is for justice, mercy, and the freedom of all people. Slavery, as an institution, is incompatible with these core biblical principles.

@@ScottWardle-oi6wi clueless pretender.

​. Nobody wanted to touch your pee pee with a ten foot pole

Did you not watch the video at all? it clearly explains that the money comes from tithing and investment portfolios. They even explained that tithing only goes toward church functions while investment portfolios go toward other investments.

@@dr.downsyndrome1844 lol. Where does the investment principal come from? Tithing. They like to pretend as if it's not the same money. Plane and simple, we the tithe payers are the sour e of the realestate empire that is the lds church

@@dr.downsyndrome1844 what they failed to explain is where did the seed money for the investment portfolio come from? Tithing. It’s all “sacred” but then blurred so they can spend it on malls and bailing out an insurance company, etc.

@@dr.downsyndrome1844 Exactly! Investment portfolios that the LDS Church illegally hid because they were afraid members might stop donating if they found out how much wealth the Church had built in secret. And, while they were secretly and illegally hiding their wealth, Church Leadership told Vice President Mohadi, who had made a specific request for support with the development of clean-water wells in more remote areas of Zimbabwe, that, ‘We are not a wealthy people but we are good people, and we share what we have,’ (Elder Andersen meets with Zimbabwe's Vice President Mohadi, pledges support: A Historic Visit, 9 December 2018 - Harare, Zimbabwe, LDS Church News Release) Yet, at the time of this statement, the Church held over $105 billion in invested cash. (Widow's Mite Report) And, the Church did not “share” any of that fund to help develop clean-water wells in Zimbabwe. Instead, the Church continued to hoard and hide it and ended up being charged and fined by the SEC for violating disclosure regulations.

"This video doesn't support negative views on the church, so they must be apologists!"

@@dr.downsyndrome1844 The fact that you think that's what I'm saying just shows you're arguing in bad faith, rather than actually interested in discussion. This channel very much is an apologetics channel. On every issue, they give the standard talking points from the LDS itself, while omitting or explaining away negative information. It is clearly not giving unbiased or objective information and claiming that it is shows dishonesty.

@@AmericanwrCymraeg they give the objective reality on what happens and explains the reason behind anything controversial. The objective reality of things just tends to support Latter-day saints.

The Rock in the Hat is pure fiction. Joseph had a bunch of wives I knew this in seminary in the 70's. wife's as in sealing, not consummated relationship. Joseph was pretty prolific with Emma, Fanny was pretty prolific with her husband. Yet no Children from Joseph and Emma. hmm. All documentation to what happened in the barn is hear say.

@@randydouglass8872 Everyone who was present during the production of the BOM said that Joseph Smith used the "seer stone in the hat" business. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. And some of those people said that Joseph didn't even need the alleged golden plates to be present while he was "translating" them. LDS church president Russell Nelson has acknowledged the "stone in the hat" business. The fact that Smith may not have sired any children with his "plural wives" does not mean that he did not have sex with them. At least seven women swore legal affidavits that they had been "plural wives" of Joseph Smith and had sex with them. Two of those women, who were married to other men, believed that some of their children were fathered by Smith, which makes it obvious that they were having sex with Smith as well as their legal husbands. If Smith's "spiritual wifery" practice had only been about platonic "sealings," and had not included sexual relations, polygamy would not have raised an eyebrow in Nauvoo, and Smith would not have been killed over it. Smith's own counselor in the church presidency, William Law, opposed polygamy, and wrote in his diary that Smith "had lately attempted to seduce my wife, and has found her a virtuous woman." Law filed legal charges of adultery and fornication against Smith on May 23, 1844. I suggest that you read an article titled "Joseph Smith’s Indictment for Adultery and Fornication", by John Dinger LDS historian Todd Compton published his definitive history "In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith" in 1997. Of those 33 women, Compton wrote: "In the group of Smith’s well-documented wives, eleven (33 percent) were 14 to 20 years old when they married him. Nine wives (27 percent) were twenty-one to thirty years old. Eight wives (24 percent) were in Smith’s own peer group, ages thirty-one to forty. In the group aged forty-one to fifty, there is a substantial drop off: two wives, or 6 percent, and three (9 percent) in the group fifty-one to sixty. "The teenage representation is the largest, though the twenty-year and thirty-year groups are comparable, which contradicts the Mormon folk wisdom that sees the beginnings of polygamy as an attempt to care for older, unattached women. These data suggest that sexual attraction was an important part of the motivation for Smith’s polygamy. In fact, the command to multiply and replenish the earth was part of the polygamy theology, so non-sexual marriage was generally not in the polygamous program, as Smith taught it."

@@randydouglass8872 I don't know if you're a believing member of the Utah LDS church, but in case you aren't aware, the church had admitted that the "seer stone in the hat" business is how Joseph Smith produced the BOM. Every person who was present during the production said that it was done with the "stone in the hat." Watch the short video titled "LDS Mormon Prophet Russell Nelson Book of Mormon Seer Stones & Hat Translation Explained."

@@randyjordan5521 Yes I am very aware of what the church is trying to do. Rewriting history. It never happened no hat.
