- Since Janice mentioned that she mostly agreed with Paul Toscano's views of God, I thought it would be good to re-release my Paul Toscano interview to refresh memories of this important topic, especially since Paul is a member of the September Six. This episode originally aired in June 2022.
I’m excited to introduce Paul Toscano. He infamous for his excommunication as part of the September Six, but we’re only going to touch on that briefly. In part 1, we’ll talk about the nature of scripture and temple symbolism. Check out our conversation….

I remember Paul in a Sunday school class 40 years ago.
Used to listen to him all the time on K-Talk radio.
I agree with a number of things that Paul brings up. I struggle with the criticism because as a lifelong member my subconscious automatically hears “lift not your hand against gods anointed”. But I do believe that if you are an apostle called of god you should not be so thinned skinned when I comes to criticism, nor should the ecclesiastical legal system within the church be used for retribution. The gospel of Christ spoke openly against the Israelite religious legal apparatus that sought to oppress not save the Jewish people. It is such a simple problem to remedy if we are the true church then the prophet should and could ask for revelation to clear this up. I realize that is a pandoras box to the church and to many members.
Love the Toscanos
That is true about the serpent being a symbol of Christ. That concept is still taught in the student study manuals.
But you don't understand it, and don't heed the Teacher that does.
9:49
Brother Toscano brings up some very interesting ideas. Considering The Father and the Son being real personages and - as the Mormons do - believing the Holy Ghost to be a real personage as well, would'nt it be logical to asume that this person would like to go through mortality and be resurrected at one time, like everybody else?
And what about a God that is "omnipotent", "omniscient" and "omnipresent"? You are right to say there are many religions and they all have their God.
You may end up unworthy to join the Celestial Kingdom, as you have shown no interest and seen no value in it. One can only hope that somehow God can use my Works to save some of you.
And your works can be studied where? Hearts and minds that feel His presence are a welcomed sight.
