On May 6th my son and I testified on the Colorado Senate floor (online) against HB26-1335 ("Concerning Access to Abortion Medication Services on Colorado College Campuses"). This law requires colleges and universities (without a religious exemption) to make abortion drugs available on campus to any student who asks for a prescription.

I first cover Colorado abortion laws from 2022-2025 to show how we got to this point. Then, I play clips of our testimonies against the bill. Finally, I play a testimony from an unhinged guy in support of the bill.

This episode is part 36 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers chapters 11 of the book of 3 Nephi. The surviving righteous people gather outside a temple in the land Bountiful and recollect their recent experiences. Suddenly, a voice from heaven says something twice but they don't understand it. The third time a voice says something that sounds like God the Father at Jesus' baptism. Then, Jesus in a white garment descends from the sky and lands among the people.

Jesus tells the people who he is and invites them to feel the wounds in his resurrected body. Then, he teaches them the correct form of baptism so that there would be no disputations among his followers. Let's see what the Jesus of the Book of Mormon says that sounds similar to verses in the New Testament and what sounds like intentional edits.

This episode is part 35 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers chapters 1-10 of the book of 3 Nephi. The Nephites and Lamanites see the sign of Christ's birth in the sky. The Gadianton robbers threaten to take over the land and destroy all the people. The Nephites and Lamanites conglomerate into an area of Zarahemla for protection with plenty of supplies. The Gadianton robbers struggle with the now desolate lands but try to scare the people. The people fight back and drive the Gadiantons back and eventually get total victory. The Gadiantons who refuse to repent are executed. The ones that convert are released and find settlement.

After some peace, a sect of people wanting a monarchy kill the new chief judge. The fallout causes the people to split the land into tribes. The monarchy supporters anoint a king and try to get dissenters from the tribes. Eventually, the sign of Christ's death ravages the land in darkness and natural disasters that kill many people and wreck cities. Toward the end of the three days of darkness a voice from heaven says he is Jesus Christ and explains the destruction but offers hope. The voice says some things we would recognize from the gospel accounts, but also borrows from New Testament epistles that would not have been written yet.
