In Moses 4:3, we learn that Satan’s downfall in the pre-mortal life was due to his effort to destroy the agency of man.  The fact that all of us have bodies is proof that we all firmly stood with Christ in defending agency during the war that ensued between Christ and Satan over this eternal principle.  In this episode Shiloh Logan discusses the eternal nature of agency.  He expounds upon how we first started to exercise our agency in the pre-mortal earth life and how our diligence in using our agency wisely in this life will determine our eternal destinies.

Please email us at podcast<at>ldsliberty<dot>org with any questions you have on this topic for a follow-up discussion with Shiloh on this topic in the future.

Gabriel Fink, creator of theholyhouse.org and scripturallibertarian.org, discusses some of implications of the sublime truth that we are literally created in the likeness and image of the Lord.  This truth provides a powerful argument and justification for the inalienable right to life, liberty, and property.  Violation of these rights is first and foremost a desecration of the image and likeness of the Lord; for the Lord has commanded that man’s life be preserved as each is made in his sacred image.
