Sex, Gods, & Power: Restoring God the Father’s Body & The Restitution of Hebrew Physicalism Toward a Body Affirming Christianity (A Blog Series)

 A Series of Posts on Joseph Smith's Plan of Happiness through the Affirmation of the Body & the Path of Joy: Through Liberating the First Mormons from Puritanical Platonism and Creedal Sectarianism by Restoring Hebrew Eros and Creating the Theology of Abrahamic Expansionism

Note: this is an extension of my thesis in my document titled: The Secret Doctrine of God: Moving Toward a Theology of the Body

 This is also a series of blog posts that work in tandem with my manuscript Phases & Strategies of God.

•   Orson Hyde's Diagram of the Kingdom of God & A Chain of Belonging as Tribal Psychology & Familial Will to Power

• The New Covenant of the Priesthood and 1800s Plural Marriage as the Means to the End of Raising Up a Righteous Seed (Peoplehood) and Generating Zion as a Circle of Friends

Abraham as Sensual Heroic Model in the Pearl of Great Price:

•  Part 1: Introduction  

•  Part 2: Helen Mar Kimball & Plural Marriage as an Expiating Sacrifice to Produce a New Mentality

This covers the sexuality of heaven and in Zion. In my blog series on Power and Equity in Zion, I discuss the ideal of Zion and the importance of a healthy masculinity and wealth building in order to do good.  

Note: This blog series is meant to work in unison with my manuscript Phases & Strategies of God.
