EQ lesson - ideas/help?

[JK4Woods]

Mosiah 29:27

“And if the time come the that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity then is the time that the judgements of God do come upon you”.

The rest of the chapter, before and after this verse is about wicked government, whether by kings or judges. And a decent lesson could be presented about the local, statewide, and national path away from the commandments and guidelines from God.

Trust not the arm of flesh to rein in wickedness. Popularity does not equal righteousness.

[onefour1]

1 Timothy 4:14
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Sorry Robinhood but if you were an American it would be easy., I know how I would give the lesson. You see the title means you have to rely on something else; either a great defense or a good running game. If you rely on the arm of flesh, you usually lose the game. but only makes sense to folks who understand American Football.

JST mark 9, 2 Nephi 28, and D&C 1 all talk about not trusting the arm of flesh.

You could dive deeper into JST Mark 9...

This essay is very important. Especially this section:

"Deception through omission

Now, this is where things get a little crazy. I had to do a double-take when I first read this and couldn’t believe what the church had done. They wrote the following as part their introduction to JST Mark 9:

“Jesus compares cutting off an offending hand or foot to discontinuing associations that may lead one astray.”

Did you catch that, or not catch that in this case? There are only three elements to this parable, which one did they intentionally leave out? The eye!! Why in the world do you think they didn’t include the eye in this description? And not only that, they openly admit that this parable taught by Christ is about “discontinuing associations that may lead one astray.” Yep, you read that correctly. They actually used those words. As I noted in the beginning, one of the longest-held faith traditions in the LDS church is that the prophet, “can never lead you astray.” Church leaders know, through their own omission, that they have directly contradicted the teachings of Jesus Christ for generations and they couldn’t openly condemn themselves."

WHAT THE!!!! I just read that entire page. Thanks LDS Physician and RW!
