Episode notes
Divine Order Counters Entropy
- The natural trend of creation is toward entropy, so divine intervention is required to create order from chaos.
- Lawrence Corbridge cites creation language: “the gods organized” lights, matter, and man to illustrate God offsetting degradation.
Resurrection Restores Proper Order
- Resurrection and restoration reestablish proper order according to divine justice.
- Corbridge references Alma: restoration of soul to body and all parts restored through Christ's power as an ordering act.
Keep Commandments To Maintain Order
- Keep God's commandments to receive protection, safety, and order in life.
- Corbridge argues specific commandments (no killing, adultery, stealing, false witness) directly prevent social chaos.
