Lecture on Faith Study: Try the Spirits— The Metaphysical Bounds of Evil

Discover the metaphysical bounds of evil in this deep-dive study of T&C 147:9. MythicMormons explore why wicked spirits have limits, laws, and a known destiny—and what “torment us before the time” means. This session unpacks the cosmology of evil through a philosophical Restoration and Covenant-Christian lens. We connect the possessed manic, Satan as “prince of the power of the air,” the Book of Enoch / Watchers tradition, the Prometheus motif, untimely knowledge, and the corruption that follows when higher principles descend out of season. Topics include giants and perversion, Babel as confounding the sacred and the profane, Jacob 5’s vineyard language of corruption, priesthood authority versus unaccountable spirits, and why “unearned wisdom” is dangerous. If you care about discernment, trying the spirits, the epistemology of faith, LDS/Restoration scripture, Enochian motifs, or the nature of evil versus good, this lecture ties together the abstract principles of T&C 147:9 before the series moves into the Lectures on Faith. 00:00 T&C 147:9 07:20 Prometheus Motif 21:30 Torment us before our time? 31:00 Prince and Power of the Air 39:00 Going to and fro 46:00 Exorcism 52:00 Accountable Epistemology vs Vague Epistemology 54:00 Conceptually Unbundling The Sexy Satan Motif 1:00:00 Beware of Unearned Wisdom—There is No Such Thing as a Dragon 1:07:00 Metaphysical Impotence of Evil and the Sneaky F***er Mating Strategy Like, subscribe, and comment with your thoughts on the bounds of evil or how you “try the spirits.” Next session: Lectures on Faith and pursuing the good, the true, and the beautiful as we seek to understand the epistemology of faith. #TryTheSpirits #TandC147 #LecturesOnFaith #RestorationScripture #BookOfEnoch #Watchers #Prometheus #CosmologyOfEvil #Discernment #MormonPhilosophy #CovenantChristianity #MetaphysicsOfEvil #PriesthoodAuthority #MythicMormons Study the text, test the spirits, and stay grounded in accountable knowledge rather than untimely or unearned “wisdom.” More on Covenant Christianity:    / @restorationarchives
