The new GD teacher under the new bishop tagged me yesterday to substitute in her class this coming Sunday on Alma 39-42.
Kolchak's coming back, in style!

I would come back (temporarily) for this.

I will save a seat for you, Blixa!
I am actually excited about this opportunity, because I have been meaning for some years to do a more thorough exegesis on Alma's remarks to Corianton in Alma 39-42 but have never gotten around to it.
There are several issues Corianton has and although we get Alma's response to the issues, we do not get precisely what causes the issues themselves.
My goal is to reconstruct from Alma's comments what it is that Corianton believed that Alma thought incorrect.
It is sort of like the textual analysis done on Paul's occasional letters (such as 1 Corinthians) in an effort to find out what it was the Corinthians were doing that elicited Paul's correction.
I have been over the text several times since yesterday and am making some serious headway, I think. The text seems to abound with clues as to what it was Corianton believed, though it is never fully set forth.
All the Best!

Just make sure that everything you teach
is not what the Church teaches those verses mean and
is not apropos to the plain meaning of the text itself.
Teach your own contemporary, liberal, politically correct exegesis of the Book of Mormon, and be careful not to stray anywhere near official, established gospel doctrine.
I'm sure you'll do just fine.
Oh, by the way, Consig,
you are accountable to your Savior, Redeemer, and ultimate judge for this kind of thing.
Just thought I should remind you, before you put yet another millstone around your neck.

No pew for you.
Come back.
One year.

You're just reminding me that you're a self-righteous, pompous asshole.

Spies in the church. Hell yeah. Wolves eating the sheep. Mormon inspiration is such a laugh.

Let me re-write that for you.

Both books are fictional. Why even bother.

Awesome!
I'm sure the ward will love hearing from you again. Wish I could be there.

* Community.
* It isn't fictional to the audience, so why not play along?
