Sobek, god of Pharaoh, and other matters of interest

The 18 August 2019 broadcast of the Interpreter Radio Show, featuring Bruce Webster, Kris Frederickson, and Mike Parker, is now available and accessible — at no charge, of course, and shorn of commercial breaks — on the website of the Interpreter Foundation.  The panelists’ topics of discussion included the Word of Wisdom, the teachings of church leaders, and, in their second hour, the upcoming Come, Follow Me lesson #35 on 1 Corinthians 14-16:

Interpreter Radio Show — August 18, 2019

Since, for your listening pleasure, the advertisements have been removed from this archived recording, I think it appropriate to thank Cruise Lady: Latter-day Adventures for their kind and generous support of the Interpreter Radio Show.

An Interpreter Radio (audio) Roundtable for Come, Follow Me New Testament Lesson 35, “God Is Not the Author of Confusion, but of Peace,” covering 1 Corinthians 14-16, is now available on the Interpreter Foundation website.  It was extracted from the aforementioned 18 August 2019 broadcast of the Interpreter Radio Show, and the discussants, of course, were the previously mentioned Bruce Webster, Kris Fredrickson, and Mike Parker:

The new Pearl of Great Price Central site is already putting out interesting material.  Among its recently posted offerings is this short essay, on a subject that caught my attention long ago and that I have mentioned many times since then:

“Sobek, the God of Pharaoh”

Here is some fresh news from the south:

“President and Sister Nelson Commence Ministry in Latin America: Elder and Sister Cook traveling with prophet to five countries”

“Prophet Counsels Guatemalan Saints to Teach Each Other about Jesus Christ: In Spanish sermon, Prophet says Atonement of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in the history of the world”

“President Nelson Reminds Colombians What Is Possible Through Jesus Christ”

It now becomes my sad duty to share seven (7) links with you regarding recent comments from Mr. Jonathan Neville, ardent advocate for the “Heartland model” of Book of Mormon geography:

“A modern apostle repudiates the teachings of the prophets!”

“Jonathan Neville’s list of “M2C” hoaxes: creatio ex nihilo”

“Has Jonathan Neville completely lost his mind?”

“Thoughts on Jonathan Neville and that lawsuit against the Church”

“President Nelson, the Book of Mormon, and Mesoamerica”

“Those who live in glass houses, pt. 2″

“Wait—is that a PEEP STONE??”

I don’t really care what Mr. Neville’s beliefs are concerning the geography of the Book of Mormon.  I would, however, like him to stop impugning the faith and loyalty of those who see things differently.
