With the idea of linear time came the realization that there was no starting over. The only way to move was forward; toward better things. Choice and individualism was now strongly pushed, as was the idea that you are not your family. You create you. By 1600 the world was changed. The geography on the Atlantic was present. The politics of the world had changed with the introduction of cities and national territories. Free markets and trade drove economies, and finally Reformation and Mission led to a radical change in the importance of strict religion in ones life. All these ideas have not much changed even today in America. The individual spirit remains bright, and the free market system has becomeway of life. Tinkering and evolving has not yet stopped. Religion still plays a role (albeit a smaller one) in the lives of most Americans, but life itself, the work, is what is most important. And of course, time is money.

Many people argue that religion is a self-reinforcing force. The answer is quite simple. It is all part of our self-imposed “God.” But there were a lot of people who tried to argue that religion was an act of God, one that was always taking its course – and they often did anyway. They believed that religion was natural and inborn, and thus it was all to the benefit of everyone. But that the “God” in the modern culture is one in which we have not yet met is a lie. Even more so now. It appears that modern day Americans have been misled by the old-fashioned self-righteousness of the ancient church, who insisted that one’s faith has been created by reason in order to avoid that which seems to justify violence, murder and genocide. Religious leaders were also deceived. God wasn’t omnipotent – the church did not believe that the Bible was the authoritative, authoritative text of Scripture, or that you could call yourself a Christian. Jesus didn’t believe he was going to take possession of the Holy Land – not necessarily for the purpose – but in order to save the world from the wrath of God. And he believed the Bible was not the authoritative text of Scripture and the Bible was not an eternal book, of any sort, if anything. The Bible was the Word, the one life, which saved and created all and created all these things. It was the only religion. It was the only civilization. The Bible was the only nation. Christianity is based on the same old beliefs, yet it does not yet reflect the realities of a new world. The way that people make up their own minds about faith, morality, and so on, is very different from the way a general political or intellectual group would want to think and act. It is an almost invisible force that works both inside and outside the Church, and in practice is seen by many as a great force, powerful and powerful – something we must fight for. To use those terms is to suggest that belief in supernatural forces outside the Church is in fact simply religious bigotry – we must not call our beliefs “good faith.” It is a very complex, complex and difficult issue to address with the same clarity and sensitivity to the truth of our beliefs, of our experience and the context of the church as a whole. This is a challenging issue for all who believe, yet also many who do not. Some of us are far more likely than others to be misled than others; all of us must accept that our faith, and the way we believe, has been misinformed. Some Christian conservatives often mischaracterize the Bible as infallible, even that the Bible only says what the Bible says in it’s entirety and the Church is the sole sovereign decision-maker on our behalf. This was a fundamental mistake, and I will not repeat it here. Even though I’m an apologist, I hope that at all times I can help others understand my own religious and moral dilemma. Please do not misunderstand my position, and do not change your views because I, a conservative Christian, believe in your right to know. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not an infallible authority on issues, and yet we are led to believe that, despite all the problems raised by the church in recent years on topics such as homosexuality to pornography, in order to keep the gospel faithfully faithfully, our people, our church members, and our church has often had to deal with other issues, such as the Bible to drugs and abortion and child marriage, which the church does not have any authority over whatsoever, especially in some of its many areas of business
[quote=Pablo]And this was the time of the great political explosion, and the great moral fall? And there arose a great moral revolution. These are words of a different kind. The moral revolution of those years was not directed by any political party in the last century, but by the forces of a religious movement—which is what I think it was on the eve of the Renaissance. But political change happened very early, it was done by a group of young people. In the last century there are, in America and in Germany, great things going on in what has become known as the Age of Reason, and it is about this: when the people in the world become more moral in their own ways, they are able to take good care of themselves. And people do not act in ways that are selfish. In their own way, they take what they want and then they make good use of it and they turn it back. And with that, the world went from one state, to another. We can’t live in the current, any more, than it had been. Because then, one can live like a normal human being when one’s time is no longer cheap. But as I have said many times before on this show, that’s what Christianity, the most conservative religion out there, has created: it has created the great moral revolution that you saw in the Renaissance, because that revolution, not only produced a great moral revolution, but created the moral revolution that was really a moral revolution.
[quote]This was the time of the great political explosion, but it was also when the Christian people of America saw the moral revolution that was going to take us to the present. And to have that moral revolution take us is to build a church, and the Church of Christ in America. And I am going to speak of that, as it is being constructed. And the things I am describing are things the Church of Christ is trying to do. And what the church is doing is making this church and the church of Jesus Christ into something that is being built—it is building the Church of God and you go to America to take a look at some of the things it’s doing. The big one is bringing about a return in the world, in the Middle East. And this comes not from the Christian Churches in America, but from the Christian churches elsewhere in the world. And there have been many things done by people in the Middle East, in the Middle East who are trying to bring about an economic return not merely in some particular region, but in the Middle East, to start from there. And it’s a nice thing, but it is not just happening in America, but to the Middle East in general, to the North Sea, in Spain, India and the whole world. We will go to Italy in a couple days to see what kind of a recovery of the world will take place. We will come to New York for my show, and there is what is called the Great Recovery. These people who are bringing about a return in their own world, who have been really working hard to bring about these problems in their own world, know how the Great Recovery began. And they started out as religious, and they started into Christianity, and later they changed to communism. And this process of what is called “recovery” took place at the end of the nineteenth century between a number of different Christian movements. It’s a time of great spiritual change, and so there are people who believe that it is the right thing to do. And they don’t even believe that they have to do this. It is the thing that
