EP.24 / Who Killed Joseph Smith?

hello and welcome back to the channel this is episode number 24 and it's going to be quite the doozy the the title of this essay that I wrote and this video is about is on who killed Joseph Smith and there's a lot to get into so we'll just Dive Right In [Music] so before getting into the thick of it if you haven't had an opportunity to go watch the previous video that I did on Joseph Smith's last three dreams go check that out it it may be simply a premonition that Joseph Smith had an idea or at least was being warned by the Lord of some of the events that would be transpiring in his life okay he had two Steamboat dreams and he had a third or last dream here at Carthage about a dilapidated barn and Men coming in and quarreling and fighting over Joseph's estate essentially so go check those out I think they're really quite interesting I'm just going to Dive Right In uh but I'd like to begin actually with with this quote and this was originally tributed to Wiston Churchill I think it actually goes way back before him even into the 1500s but it says history is written by The Victors and it's not in every case that the narrative that we see or hear is false but I think it's important for us to learn that anytime anyone writes a history about past events that they bring with them or include with that history their own paradigms and perceptions and sometimes not always but sometimes the Victor those who won paint themselves in a very positive light and we could even say that same thing happens in scripture as well but back to this topic about uh who killed Joseph Smith I'm just going to Dive Right In I'm guessing a few of you are sitting there scratching your head thinking what do you mean who killed Joseph Smith we know exactly who killed Joseph and hyram it was the mob we have the accounts of Willard Richards and John Taylor you know it's even in our canonized scripture in Dr covenants 135 to the Casual reader of History this has been the common narrative as explained by the eldest Church most people are unaware that the church has slowly been changing how they talk about the events of that faithful day I never felt the need to even ask the question I mean why would you ever doubt what the church says and literally that's how I felt you you you didn't have to question what your leaders told you that's how it was raised well the Book of Mormon is true so the rest must be true and they only have our best interest at heart right to help you understand where I'm coming from I'd like to First share a video from some folks that I highly respect I feel that they are on a secrets of Truth and want to know what happened to the prophet of this restoration and his brother oh and their younger brother as well that's Samuel by the way and that's why I point you to Joseph's last dreams in two of those both of those Steamboat dreams Samuel joins Joseph as he's crossing the waters as I noted in my own commentary of that I believe that Samuel was poisoned and there's testimony witness from his family that says such and it's just interesting um about the murder of those Brothers after the video I'll add a few of my own thoughts but this essay will be work in progress as new theories and ideas emerge I'll add to it I do have to include a bit of a warning here you have to approach the the theories presented with an open mind if in your mind the church can do no wrong then you will find this video offensive so the video that I link here is the first video entitled who killed Joseph Smith and it was produced by Justin Griffin and to just give you a a little bit of a background of what about what the video goes into you you've heard the phrase dead men tell no tales and most modern people would would know that phrase from Pirates of the Caribbean but it actually goes way back into the mid 1500s and it's this idea though that when you take someone out you've silenced their voice it's essentially early early censorship right the first or the beginnings of of what we hear about censorship and that's what happened here if you shut down The Narrative of the person who's trying to present ideas or thoughts you then can control the narrative so what the film is essentially about is a modern-day crime scene analysis and what what they've done is taken the narrative that was written and they've analyzed the language the time the places the dates who said what when and where and then compared that to the modern day churches version and how they're slowly adjusting and changing things and they are and then in addition to that well like we could question all of the the language right the histories that are written about it and obviously people can get things wrong and things like that but the other fascinating thing about what they've done is they're doing the forensic analysis and So based upon the narrative certain things should have happened in certain orders or certain weapons were used and certain things happened within the Dynamics of that room and we can then compare that with modern a forensics back then these people didn't have these crime YouTube channels that that really dive deep into forensics they didn't have forensics back then they didn't worry about it they just tried to figure out a narrative that fit the events to appease people and to move on right to move on with their own purposes I'll get into the forensics a little bit but it's very telling when you look at the wounds inflicted on Joseph hyram and John and the ones that weren't inflicted on Willer Richards it's very telling when you start to piece together this narrative so go check that out in fact there's not just the first video but there's a second part series that talks a little bit about motive but it Dives in deeper into the forensics and they bring on some forensic Specialists to to flush that out even for further so go check that out one of the things that I think needs to be noted here is that everything in church history can and should be debated you should be able to question everything and I have a quote it comes from Richard Fineman and he says this I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned so what that essentially means is when there's an answer that someone's given a narrative that's been presented and we can't question that that's the very first place that I would go to and I think we can take that to anyone who says that they can't be questioned that or that they say that their Narrative of events can't be questioned that's the first place I would go and it's the first sign that something probably isn't right so please go check out that video I think it will be enlightening and and to be honest when I first heard this Theory to even question who was involved in this it was so deeply rooted in who that I who I was on my belief system that even I was like no no there no that that shouldn't have been something that you ever needed to have questioned so essentially to give you an idea of a synopsis of this video is that the narrative presented by the church was incorrect it wasn't necessarily the mob they they had some involvement in it but the narrative presented by John Taylor and Willer Richards have holes in them that they contradict each other and there are potentially even lies and that the forensics themselves about the damage that was done to the bodies of Joseph and ham do not match up to a mob having done this but that this was an inside job that this was something those wounds inflicted upon Joseph and hyam were done by Willard Richards and John Taylor and I know that the typical member of the church would just simply passed this off and I U I'll just continue with the essay here and hopefully hopefully this will make a little bit more sense I'll admit that this theory was shocking the first time I heard it I just couldn't wrap my brain around this idea that the possibility existed that church leaders could do something so horrific how could someone present themselves with all the appearance of a righteous Prophet yet potentially be a murderer a term that helps Define this shock we feel and our desire to disbelieve such an accusation is called cognitive dissonance so if you've never heard that phrase before here is the definition of cognitive dissonance it is a psychological conflict resulting from in congruous beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously now to give that a little bit more meaning essentially what this is is you have a certain set of paradigms and beliefs of the way that you think the world operates and the you know your belief systems are set on that and and that's exactly the way it's going to be a lot of people for example have a very specific belief in who Christ is or who God is and and there's no changing you know their understanding of of the events of go the gospel or anything like that so when something comes into contradiction with that and seems so unbelievable we have a tendency to to Simply dismiss it or pass it off outright and to give it no Credence or validity and that's not to say that everything that we hear everything that we see is accurate or true not every allegation is true but it is very common that this principle of cognitive dissonance has application that when something challenges our current belief system that we pass it off outright because we think that we're right I think that's a sign of a healthy mentality is to be able to even question our own belief system and our own perception of reality so as part of this idea cognitive dissonance I actually note a meeting that I had with a church leader this person is a someone who knows my family they are an Emeritus member of the 70 so if you're not familiar with that essentially you've got the prophet the first presidency the 12 apostles and then you have these members of the 70 and there's various qus of the 70 but he within that group had a lot of FaceTime with the these top leaders of the church and I well well to give you an idea someone that I know had they brought up this idea that they had qu they were they were concerned for my welfare and that of my family and they mentioned to this Emeritus member of the 70 that we were well for one that we weren't coming to church and so he sends me a text out of the blue I go over to his home and for two hours we sit down and we talk about all sorts of things all sorts of topics and in two hours we agreed on almost nothing and I floated this idea by him and his response was no way no way he just shook his head in disgust to even suggest that a person in a position of leadership historically in the church so namely John Taylor or Willard Richards that these men had anything to do with the murder of the prophet and his brothers his it was it was an insanely High degree of cognitive dissonance he would not even question the narrative that was presented it just it wouldn't even come into his realm of possibility that something like this could happen so is it possible though is it possible that even people in positions of of leadership could become corrupted and I've said this to friends before but I believe that one of the safest places or the the best places for evil to hide is behind the the the Robes of religion I think it's one of the best places for them to hide because well we're actually going to get into it here I I'll just continue and this will make more sense so I quote here from second Corinthians and this idea of the appearance of righteousness so this is in second Corinthians 11 so this is verse 14 and no Marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of Light therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the Ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works so it's very possible for someone to present themselves as a righteous magnanimous person but their motives might be very different Christ himself taught a similar idea as part of his famous sermon given on the mount that overlooked the Sea of Galilee and this wasn't some off-hand comment from the savior he included it as part of his core Doctrine Christ knew better than almost anyone the corruption among the Sadducees and Pharisees and the vile way in which they gave the appearance of righteousness yet their hearts were prideful and vain they were ravening wolves we shouldn't think so highly of ourselves or any church leader to think that this couldn't happen in our day in fact it was prophesied by many ancient prophets that it would happen in the latter day days so this is from Christ sermon in Matthew 7 beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves and he he gives us a he Christ helps us understand how we can discern between these false and true prophets with his beautiful um invitation that we can know them by their fruits that's significant right go study 32 again it talks about fruits being able to see this and so we start to look at the fruits of what came out of the time period after the martyrdom of the Smith Brothers think about that verse for a minute most of us just focus on the first part and think oh of course they're false prophets I'd easily be able to spot them some of you are probably thinking that many of my essays fit that category as well but just take a look at the rest of this verse these people have all the appearance of being a sheep and wearing all the outward signs and actions of being a follower and disciple of Christ we would then assume they are humble and have good intentions Christ ends that verse with the description of a ravening wolf which gives us a very clear depiction of who these people really are their intent is to harm maim or kill be that in a physical and or spiritual capacity if this theory that Justin presents is true then it surely would be a fulfillment of several prophecies the first comes from the Savior himself as he is speaking to the Gentiles which most certainly includes the Gentile or the elds church in Doctrine covenants it notes that the members of the elds church are part of the Gentiles in 3516 ver1 15 the Lord refers to these people as the salt that has lost its Savor in Jewish tradition salt is often associated with covenants and the Lord's Covenant people he then tells us why they have lost their Savor and it's it's important to to realize that without digging in to the history of the church and understanding the lies and deceptions that have been told you will never read this verse the same as somebody who believes that that narrative right somebody who has allowed themselves to be able to see the lies the corruption the changing of Doctrine and and believes that you'll never read these verses the same way because they have a completely different well you've you've approached them from a completely different Paradigm about who it's prophesying against so this is verse 10 and thus commanded the father that I should say unto you at that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel and shall reject the fullness of my gospel and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts Above All Nations and above all the people of the whole earth and shall be filled with all manner of lying and of Deceit and of mischiefs and all manner of hypocrisy and murders and priestcraft and whoredoms and secret Abominations and if they shall do all these things and shall reject the fullness of my gospel behold sayeth the father I will bring the fullness of my gospel from among them so we we have literally all of these things were they lying were they being deceitful were they being Hypocrites living one thing and professing another did they murder people what are priest crafts it's setting yourself up as a light whoredoms uh says secret Abominations specifically Jacob 2 polygamy or spiritual wery is referred to as an Abomination take special note of who Christ is speaking to in this verse these people received and rejected the fullness of the Gospel they're not ignorant Gentiles or run-ofthe-mill Americans they are the Lord Covenant people if Joseph was murdered by his friends who were secretly living polygamy we could check off all the items listed in verse 10 we then come to the Stark realization that at some point the Lord will take the fullness of the Gospel from among them one thing that I didn't realize is that this same prophecy or the idea is repeated by Moroni in ether 12:35 in this chapter he speaks of his weakness in writing the Book of Mormon this is the gift he is giving to the Gentiles it is the fullness of the Gospel if they reject it through not living his teachings it will be taken from them so this is the verse from either 12 wherefore I know by this thing which thou H has said that if the Gentiles have not charity because of our weakness that thou wi prove them and take away their talent that's the Book of Mormon that he's referring to this gift y even that which they have received and give it unto them who shall have more abundantly and so to clarify it's not just the Book of Mormon but it's the doctrine it's the it's the teachings the beautiful principles taught in the Book of Mormon the next prophecy comes from Moroni as he finishes record in the eth and Ninth chapters in the record of Mormon it is interesting to note that these words were intended to be the final chapters of the Book of Mormon a careful study of chapter 8 specifically verse 34 should be a clear indication that was speaking directly to the Latter-Day Saints as he finishes his word he says at that day when these things shall come forth among you he then proceeds to tell us that all churches even everyone has become polluted he's not speaking about a time before Joseph he is speaking after the record has been brought forth and when you when you take a look at Mormon 8 I could go either way as far as the audience that is speaking to is he speaking about the culture of all of the churches right the the religious Sentiments of the churches of Justice day yes um it actually talks about like IND diligences payment for for forgiveness of sins and all of these different things you could say that yes all of those things existed in the various religions of Joseph's day and that he was to bring about a restoration but the question is we can take a look at all of these verses in the second half of Mormon 8 and say what is Mor what is Moroni calling out as far as corrupt religion and false beliefs and traditions and then compare that to all of the churches in our day today and say does any of that apply it's the same way that we would look at the books of Isaiah Jeremiah Ezekiel and others in the Old Testament and say what happened to the Lord's people the house of Israel or the Israelites when they became corrupted okay we should be studying Isaiah to be able to understand the type and Shadow and pattern for our day today in fact Moroni in uh Mormon 8 literally invites us and says go study Isaiah I can't share everything that he shared there but it's a type and Shadow it's a pattern so we should be able to go in study the patterns of Mormon a and say are any of those things manifesting themselves right it's the building up of churches it's riches it's grinding the face of the poor it's hypocrisy lying deceiving so let's let's see what it says here in verse 38 oh Ye pollutions Ye Hypocrites ye teachers who sell yourselves for that which will CER why have you polluted the Holy Church of God why are you ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ why do you not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which Never Dies because of the praise of the world yay why do you build up your secret Abominations to get gain again think about the significance of Abominations secrecy and everything that came out after Joseph Smith was martyred and to cause that widows should mourn before the Lord and also orphans to mourn before the Lord and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground for vengeance upon your heads so we're talking about murder here specifically in this essay about who killed Joseph Smith and I would say others please note that secret Abominations are mentioned by both the Savior and Moroni in their prophecies the Savior refers to polygamy as an as an abomination in Jacob 2 Joseph called it a crime in the 1842 edition of DNC 101 which was later removed by subsequent church leaders both Joseph and ham taught vehemently against polygamy and use the strong strongest language possible to condemn the practice if you want go check out my essay entitled the crime of polygamy you can see my video series on polygamy as well here on this channel I believe that the secret practice of spiritual wiery also known as polygamy was a significant motive for the murders in my essay titled my story I end with two quotes that I feel are worth repeating here George Alber Smith once said if a faith will not bear to be investigated if its preachers and professors are afraid to have it examined the foundation must be very weak and the second one comes from J Ruben Clark if we have the truth it cannot be harmed by investigation if we have not the truth it ought to be harmed there should be nothing in our Doctrine or history that cannot be questioned the very beginnings of the restoration began by asking questions has our generation become so intellectually and spiritually weak that we can not endure rigorous debate now to give you a little bit of a Insight on this so when Justin Griffin was about to release this film he and his wife were brought in to essentially a church court or a disciplinary Court by his stake presidency whether his State president knew about what they were doing or not I don't know the church says that that the main offices of the church stay out of church courts I don't think that's true I think that they actually communicate to people and this story from the Griffins I think shows that the church does get involved in these things so toward the end of their Church Court they mentioned that they would like to be able to take these like so for example they were told you need to not you know if you put out this video that you will be excommunicated and Justin and his wife said well can we take this home and pray about it and they said well you certainly can but you're still going to be excommunicated so what that means is the decision to excommunicate them was already in the books it was done it didn't matter whether they wanted to go home pray about it whether they wanted to release the film not release the film someone had made the decision that these these rabble rousers right these people that were questioning the authority and Leadership of the church and then narrative that they needed to be silenced it's the same idea of censorship right if you want to stop the narrative you force them out you make those people look like they are the evil person and you force them out of the organization I'll shift now to my commentary on the film and just hit a couple of highlevel points the first one the fact that Willard and John's accounts did not hold up to scrutiny and even present falsehoods should be a massive red flag John Taylor waited 10 years and even after the passing of Willard Richards before releasing his retelling of events number two both of these men seemingly had miraculous events that were retold so that they could prove that God was with them Willard frequently told his story of how Joseph supposedly prophesied that bullets would be all around him yet he would be unscathed John Taylor's story of being shot in the pocket watch and thrown back into the room also presents the hand of Providence in preserving his life this story is isn't even supported by the church historians today it was a lie so just to give you an idea John Taylor would retell the story that he was looking out the window and a bullet from one of the rifles shot him in the pocket watch and it threw him back into the room and that saved his life if you know the ballistics and the velocity of those rounds that are shot from those rifles it would completely obliterate this pocket watch and people just say well maybe in the the Heat of the Moment John Taylor just got confused he ran into the wall and he fell back because that's literally what it looks like is it was the damage to the watch looked like it happened during a scuffle there's no way that the ballistics from a gun any gun a 22 a any of these higher powered rifles equivalent to a 30 6 they would have obl obliterated not just the watch but John Taylor's entire chest number three the Council of 50 had voted to destroy the Nabu Expositor Joseph told these Brethren that if they did he would surely be the one that would have to shoulder the burden of reprisal that all of their decisions he would have to be able to deal with the brunt of it both Willard Richards and John Taylor pleaded with Joseph to go ahead with destroying the Press there's the very real possibility that they knew that doing so would put Joseph in a compromising position and potentially even send him to Carthage number four the ballistics do not match the two I eyewitness accounts I've shot many animals over the years with rifles that match similar ballistics to these musket rifles that were supposedly used these Firearms caused massive damage I remember my dad shooting a pine hen this is a a bird that lives up in the up in the mountains with a rifle while elk hunting he was aiming for the head so that he wouldn't damage the meat or the breast meat but when the shot went low and it hit in the Central Area the only thing that we could find from that shot was I think we found a foot and some feathers this is this is the damage that those rifles do they obliterate things right if we believe that any of those shots came through and hit ham in the head as they suggest there's portions would remain right but nothing nothing like the damage or the forensics that appear in the church Narrative of what they say happened number five what the ballistics do show is that hiron was shot with a pistol and John Taylor received several pistol rounds as well John Taylor's wound in his left hand is most telling what is your natural inclination when someone points a gun at you or you know that you're going to be shot at you hold up your hand in defense my theory is that Joseph was pointing his gun right at John Taylor's face and John put his hand up in Defense Joseph wasn't messing around so in the narrative if you watch the film essentially as Joseph went out into the room to be able to address the mob and he shot people down the stairwell when he came back in that is when potentially Willard Richards I believe is Willard Richards had shot hyam and so when he's coming back into the room Joseph is assuming that everything is fine because his friends are all in the room and he finds his brother shot and the only two people in that room with him are the two men that are then you know they're the they're the ones who who sold the narrative to the Saints after that I believe that it was those additional rounds I believe there were at least three rounds of that six shooter so three went to the Mob the other 3 went into John Taylor number six Joseph spoke with the current State president of the church about excommunicating several high ranking church leaders just days before he was taken to Carthage so again motive the motive is there number seven I feel that it was a significant motive by a sizable group of men to commit these murders it has been proven that many of the 12 were lying and deceiving they were secretly practicing polygamy even after having openly sworn that it was an Abomination some of the men even signed documents that condemn polygamy yet it was later proven that they were secretly practicing it at the time there was a video that recently came out from Michelle Stone She interviewed a gentleman that he analyzed a lot of these early journals from these men and their stories were shifting and changing and I believe that it shows some evidence that they were planning this event the murder of the prophet and his brother at at least 8 months in advance that this was something methodically planned out for a very specific and intended purpose number eight one of Joseph's personality traits was that he often trusted people too much his heart was very willing to take people at their word and to forgive quickly if need if need arose number nine Samuel Smith quote died about 1 month after both of his brothers were murdered these are statements from his his family that say that he was poisoned His official cause of death is death by vomiting the church history narrative states that Samuel died of stomach complications exacerbated by riding his horse to carbage and the emotional events of his brother's deaths I talk about that quite a bit in the uh video that I did about Justice three dreams you can go check that out and this is the last point that I make in my essay number 11 Justin theory is only one of many yet I feel it is closer to the truth than any previous narrative is it perfect no admittedly so but it is certainly worth considering so again I go back to that thing that question when someone tells you you cannot question the narrative that's the first place I would go is to question what they're saying one of the biggest challenges that we face is historical accuracy it's just hard to understand who to trust but I feel there's enough evidence remaining along with the iwitness accounts that we can make a pretty good judgment call especially when we begin to patch together the events that transpired after the murders none of these theories are perfect by any means there are holes in all of them but what is clear is that things don't add up to what the LDS church says happen and even they are changing their tune I'm quite interested in hearing part two of the documentary while I dive further into the potential motives so again there's a link to that you can check it out just search for it on the internet and you'll see part two check out part one it fills in the gaps that then lead to part two this next section is titled the elephant now I should also address the elephant in the room what if these events transpire the way Justin portrays them what if JN and Willard were murders they were Future Leaders and even a president of the church what about the Lord's Kingdom upon the Earth that shall never falter I was told my entire life that I didn't need to worry about the church nor his leaders the Lord would never allow them to lead me astray the church would Sail on into the Millennium if you happen to be asking any of these questions I'd invite you to reread the verses of scripture that I quoted earlier all of this was prophesied what a blessing it is that the Lord and his servants warned us about these events again if you read the book of Mormon with a different perspective and realizing that it is possible that the LGs Church fell into apostasy and who these ancient prophets Nephi Moroni Jacob and others even going to the Old Testament who they were speaking to as a type and Shadow of Corruption of the House of Israel in our day the scriptures take on completely different meaning the restoration as a preparatory work I plan to do a future essay on this I'm actually in the middle of working on it right now but both Nephi and Christ teach us how the winding up scenes play out in 1 Nei 14 we read about a period of time when God pours out his blessings upon the Saints a restoration if you will but things take a turn for the worse all sorts of wickedness and Abominations happen and truly biblical destructions of her this is often referred to as the tribulations or the tribs for short then we learn that the work of the father will commence wait hold on what does that mean commence we learn of the same exact pattern and Prophecy from the savior in 3DD Nephi 21 as well as chapters 26- 28 there is a restoration a period of Destruction and then the work of the father commences it's my belief that the restoration is only a preface to the work that will happen in gathering the house of Israel in the last days when the work of the father truly begins and according to 3D Nei 1611 as well as ether 12:35 the Lord is going to be doing some reshuffling meaning he will take the fullness of the gospel and he will give it to the true or righteous house or branch of Israel there's a great deal more I could go into but I get the feeling that few members of the church will actually read to the end of this essay if if you did if you believe all the narrative of the church and you made it here like Kudos seriously if you made it this far and you didn't just pass it off as wackadoodle right Crazy Town thinking than kudos to you it takes a lot to at least be open to the possibility that the narrative that you've believed most of your life may not be exactly true the video most likely broke a few of you many of you may have lots of questions and rightly so all that I can do is invite you to seek Jesus and ask him if any of this is true and if it even makes any impact on your lives in reality none of this should affect your relationship with the Savior for some of you like me it only strengthened it our witness of the Gospel should never be founded upon the precepts or narratives of men our faith should be centered upon the foundation of Christ and his Doctrine as witnessed to our hearts and Minds through the spirit It Is by this method that we're able to discern the truth from error in all things God is good he has a great work for us to do but we are just beginning I invite you to study Christ's words and then discern through the spirit what it means to be a disciple of Christ by taking his name upon you he is The Peacemaker he loves you and invites you to turn your heart and mind to him now I know that for some people what what is just presented there is an extremely heavy topic there's a lot to it we could spend hours upon hours upon hours diving in and trying to understand the new nuances of this all I know is that my study of all of these other topics how the doctrines right after the murder of the Prophet shifted so dramatically that something happened something happened in the in the change to leadership of what we consider the modern LDS Church and that's nearly every single Doctrine every single one we're talking morality principles of caring for the poor how priesthood was operating you know blacks in the priesthood tithing how baptism operated Temple ordinances Temple covenants all of this stuff shifted right at this time and you have to ask yourself what was holding it back right or who was actually keeping it from being turned into something completely different I know that some people you know they find that one of their purposes is to dive deeper into these topics and and that and that's important you know as I've noted before I know some people that they dive deep into subject like polygamy I take a far more Renaissance approach to a lot of these topics in just knowing here's the core principle here's the core idea behind it this one particular it deals with historical narratives and with forensics and I just know that the narrative cannot be questioned if you want to remain in good standing in the church you can't ask questions and as I noted in the essay it was the very beginning of the restoration movement was from a young boy who had questions and he asked God why can't we do that today why can't question be asked today and take a hard look at the narratives and the truths and the doctrines that were taught to us and to say are these really true and can we validate them historically in scripture and most importantly by the spirit so thanks again for checking this out if you have questions um dive into the topic further go watch the documentaries and take those things to God ruminate on them you know it doesn't have to push you one way One Direction or the other but at least should be aware that these things are out there and that what you may have thought was historically accurate may not be 100% true so thanks again for checking out this video essay uh you can go check out all of my essays at reluctant
