(NOTE: Although ScriptureCrossReferences has some of the greatest truths on earth that you will learn if you continue - truth is not always nice, kind, or whitewashed ...

The Truth I teach is BLUNT & To-The-Point!

If you want something whitewashed & covered up - PLEASE STOP READING NOW! ALthough I don't teach anything here that is not either validated by The Scriptures OR by History, still, some of you are not willing to accept BLUNTNESS and may be offended. I am not trying to offend you; just to open your eyes to things that are hard-to-accept but true nonetheless ...)

The Bible used herein is the King James Version of the Bible.

Numbers have been placed here and there not to differentiate chapters but simply to give you a stopping point, so that you can continue at another time.

All comments (in this color of blue) found within these Scripture Sets, are the comments of the author, Elder Erving Lambert,
and are not necessarily the teachings or doctrines of the refreshed, restored, restituted Church of Jesus Christ (of Latter-Day Saints). The reason it cannot always be the correct teachings or doctrines is a shameful reason! ... Because it depends, at times, on which Prophet or Apostle you believe speaks the truth! It shouldn't be that way, all true prophets and apostles should always speak the same teachings and doctrines BUT BUT BUT some Prophets and Apostles teach conflictory things in opposition to what other Prophets and Apostles teach or taught. It doesn't happen all of the time nor does it happen with most doctrines, but with a few doctrines, such as Polygamy and Perfection, there is inconsistency and contradictions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which I call 'Negative Truth'.

Jesus taught,

--- [John 8:32 - King James Version of The Bible] --- "And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free."

What He failed to mention is that there are two types of Truth: Positive Truth, and Negative Truth. What is the difference? Isn't all Truth, Truth? Yes and No. The short answer is that Truth is something that happened, or something that is taught. But the long answer is that Positive Truth is of God and edifies (builds you up to be a better person). Positive Truth adheres to (does not vary from) the true scriptures (words and teachings) of Jesus Christ, and his servants, the true prophets of God, and the true apostles of God, as well as other leaders who have been called and ordained and are familiar with the true doctrines and principles of Jesus Christ. There have even been "kings" in history who have taught correct doctrines, such as King David, King Solomon, King Mosiah, King Benjamin. Negative Truth on the other hand are things that happened (and because they happened they are still truth, you cannot take them away from history, such as Adolph Hitler and the murder of millions of Jews happened; and Ted Bundy and the kidnappings, rapes, and murders of 50 or hundreds of women happened); or half-truths, half-doctrines and principles which appear good to the unlearned and/or gullible. But Negative Truths tear you down spiritually because they are evil acts, acts of Satan not God; or incorrect teachings taught by people you should be able to trust, such as Popes, Cardinals, and "Fathers" of Catholicism; Pastors, Ministers, Evangelists, etc. of Protestant Churches; and at least 4 Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints - who taught False Doctrines that do not concur (agree) with the scriptures and with other Prophets. In all things you have to have a Standard, something you compare other things with in order to judge if they are correct. The scriptures inspired under the direction of the Holy Ghost, which books of scripture called The Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine & Covenants, The Pearl Of Great Price, also known as the Standard Works, ARE THAT STANDARD to compare and govern by. So also is Jesus Christ himself that overall Standard, BUT, Jesus also works very greatly through Prophets which he has called and ordained (and not themselves):

--- [John 15:16 - King James Version of The Bible]:
"Ye have not chosen me ... but I have chosen you ... and ordained you."

--- [Ephesians 2:19-20 - King James Version of The Bible]:
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers ... but SAINTS ... of the HOUSEhold of God. And are built upon THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..."

"Surely The Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secrets to His servants THE PROPHETS." --- [Amos 3:7 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

1

In the case of the Latter-Day Refreshing, Restitution, and Restoration of ALL Things, there is one Prophet who had more things revealed to him from God than any other prophet who ever lived: that man's name was - Joseph Smith. Because of this fact, that cannot be altered or changed,

"For I am The Lord, I CHANGE NOT ..." --- [Malachi 3:6 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

And one of the main things The Lord does not change is: (to repeat it again so that you will learn it - which is the one of the things we do often because 'repetition' is one of the key learning techniques that even The Saviour used such as in John 21:15-17 when Jesus repeated to Peter three times to "Feed My Sheep." On the third time of Jesus repeating that message, Peter was getting annoyed. We ask you to please not be annoyed if you see a scripture repeated in this Treatise, because The Holy Ghost has blessed me much in the writing of these things and if you see something repeated it may be because The Holy Ghost has directed me to repeat it) (or maybe I'm just senile) anyway:

"Surely The Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secrets to His servants THE PROPHETS." --- [Amos 3:7 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

Joseph Smith, his writings, and his teachings is the difinitive, conclusive, absolute, final, argument-settling, and orthodox, Standard of the Latter-Days! Joseph Smith taught The Fulness of Truth and nothing but The Fulness of Truth. Thus, any Prophet or Apostle (whether old or modern, including even the current Prophet at the time of this writing, Russell M. Nelson; or other religious person such as a pope, minister, or teacher --- who does not concur (agree) with The Lord's Fulness & Restoration Prophet, Joseph Smith, may possibly, and probably is!, teaching a Lie or false doctrine. Now sometimes we human beings can teach Partial Truths, or Half Truths, which are partially correct - but not totally correct. We're probably all guilty of that. But to me, Half Truths are also Half Falsehoods. And just as a person should not try to serve two masters, neither should a person be divided in his belief system with a Half Truth. To me, a real truth is not 90% truth and 10% lie --- but all truth - 100% truth. The Partial Truths taught by Popes, Ministers, and even some Prophets and Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints should be rejected because they are not 100% total truths! And it doesn't matter who teaches them or what their calling or office or title is. They are not totally correct and they should be rejected for not being totally correct. I am aware of at least four Latter-Day Prophets, (Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, Gordon B. Hinckley, and Russell M. Nelson), who have taught ERRORS, HALF-TRUTHS, AND LIES. I will slowly reveal these contradictions to you, which in essence are False Doctrines (doctrines NOT in agreement with The Scriptures AND with the doctrines taught by Joseph Smith. And when these ERRORS, HALF-TRUTHS, LIES & FALSE DOCTRINES are made cognizant to you, you will face a choice to see them as ERRORS, HALF-TRUTHS, LIES & FALSE DOCTRINES or determine that I am the one who is wrong, and not Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, Gordon B. Hinckley, and Russell M. Nelson.

Let's start with one of the first things that began to open my eyes that President/Prophets aren't always who we think they are. President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball during the October 1976 General Conference gave a General Conference Talk titled, 'Our Own Liahona.' During that Talk one of the things he said was this:

"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will ALWAYS TEACH THE ORTHODOX TRUTH. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."

This is very whitewashed (covered up so that it does not 'name' the prophet, Brigham Young, who taught the Adam-God Doctrine. [The Church is so cover-up-ish on this that they won't even call it a "Doctrine." They call it a "Theory" - a "Theory" of Brigham Young, possibly because to label it a "Doctrine" would infer then that he taught a "False Doctrine", but to keep it a "Theory" minimizes it not as the "False Doctrine" that he taught before congregations and in his writings but as simply a "Belief" of Brigham Young that was wrong.] But what Spencer W. Kimball spoke (above) is indeed about that "fallen prophet" - Brigham Young. They don't call Brigham Young a "Fallen Prophet" (THIS IS ME Erving Lambert calling Brigham Young, and Gordon B. Hinckley, and Russell M. Nelson "Fallen Prophets" - because I am not as lenient or as much of a repecter of persons as The Church and The Apostles are --- who are supposed to keep prophets in check, but don't do their jobs! Just like almost anyone who committed the crimes of Donald Trump would have been in jail so quick but Donald Trump is (or was) permitted to run around free; so The Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I cannot enforce anything on these men but I can state my viewpoint. I believe no prophet or apostle should be allowed to teach even one FALSE DOCTRINE or LIE. I believe all prophets and apostles should walk hand-in-hand with The Lord teaching the same things that Jesus Christ Himself taught or would teach if he were present before us. I believe no prophet or apostle should teach much of anything contrary to the Scriptures and that Joseph Smith is the final word on just about everything. And if a President/Prophet does teach something CONTRARY & NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH JESUS CHRIST, THE SCRIPTURES, AND WITH JOSEPH SMITH, then, to me, that Brigham Young, that Wilford Woodruff, that Gordon B. Hinckley, that Russell M. Nelson, is a 'Fallen Prophet' because: -

"... whether by mine own voice, or by the voice of my SERVANTS, IT IS THE SAME." --- [D&C 1:38] ---

OR, to combine what's in The Bible with this verse:

"... whether by mine own voice, or by the voice of my SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, IT IS THE SAME." --- [D&C 1:38] ---

and for a prophet to teach even one LIE OR FALSE DOCTRINE , in the opinion of me, Erving Lambert, de-justifies & de-validates his Office and Calling as a Prophet, and his Title as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In my book, in my opinion, it merits him as a "fallen prophet" --- one who should be excused (released from his Office & Title of Prophet and President - and perhaps excommunicated. Or at the very least --- discharged, terminated, released. To put it in "JOB" terms: FIRED!

2

For those who argue that The Lord is in complete control of The Church and only The Lord can discharge, terminate, and release a prophet, well, if The Lord is in complete control, then why does The Lord allow prophets to contradict prophets - one prophet teaching one thing and another prophet contradicting and teaching something else?

For those who argue "Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion."--- [D&C 132:8] --- and "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of The Saints." --- [1st Corinthians 14:33] ---

... Or to change the concept of "all Churches of The Saints" to more modern terms of the current Church:

"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all stakes and wards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."

it is quite obvious that The Lord's House (or Church) isn't totally "a house of order, and is somewhat, at least a little --- "a house of confusion" as He ALLOWS hundreds of ERRORS, LIES, CONTROVERSIAL THINGS to happen --- such as the 5 false doctrines of Brigham Young; Gordon B. Hinckley indirectly calling Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, a bunch of other apostles and prophets, and 50,000 Saints --- adulterers; and Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and Russell M. Nelson cheating the U.S. Government (the S.E.C. - Security & Exchange Commission) of money due to them. In other words committing FRAUD. He, The Lord, has allowed many ERRORS, LIES, CONTROVERSIAL THINGS to happen, probably around 500 things to happen, and with most of these things He does nothing about them! (At least not very much consequences or punishments in this life ... We don't know what will happen in the so-called 'Day of Judgement ...')

Now it is reasonable and logical to claim that when a person teaches False Doctrine, such as The Adam-God Doctrine that Spencer W. Kimball already labeled as NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES and ... FALSE DOCTRINE, how can you say that that Prophet, or Apostle as is sometimes the case, isn't teaching "Confusion"? If you claim he can teach a false doctrine and THAT false doctrine isn't confusion: you're as confused as the Church is for allowing doctrines such as The Adam- God Doctrine & Blood Atonement and other false doctrines taught by Brigham Young; the denouncing of Polygamy and the inference that Joseph Smith was an adulterer taught by Gordon B. Hinckley; the denouncing that a person can perfect themselves in this life and does not need to perfect himself or herself as taught by Russell M. Nelson; and the committing of fraud against The United States Government (the Securities & Exchange Commission) by Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and Russell M. Nelson --- is not "CONFUSION" and therefore should not be accountable and punished --- to this I state, in the name of Jesus Christ, that The Church of Jesus Christ is 95% or 98% TRUTH, or POSITIVE TRUTH, and 5% or 2% NEGATIVE TRUTH, or CORRUPTION!

and is trying "TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY." I hope you and I can both agree on that?

Wilford Woodruff, the 4th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is reported to have written in [The Deseret Evening News on October 11th, 1890]:

"The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY. It is NOT in the programme. It is NOT IN THE MIND OF GOD. If I were to attempt that, The Lord would REMOVE ME OUT OF MY PLACE and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty."

THAT, is a LIE & FALSE DOCTRINE in itself - even though it had good intentions. It should have been true that The Lord would not allow a President to "TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY", and that The Lord would REMOVE a President of The Church who did so, but over the years, starting with the 2nd President of The Church, Brigham Young, there have been many false doctrines attempting to "LEAD YOU ASTRAY". Such lies have been taught by several Presidents of this Church over the years - and none of those Presidents, not Brigham Young, not Gordon B. Hinckley, not Russell M. Nelson, etc. have ever been removed after they taught their FALSE DOCTRINES OR DONE THEIR FALSE ACTS "TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY". As sweet as the words of Wilford Woodruff are, time has shown that no Church Courts have been held to validate his words. Therefore they have to be ruled as FALSE & UNTRUE! His words sound good and wise. Brother Woodruff testifies that The Lord stands up for judgement, accountability and dismissal of any President/Prophet who is not what he should be, but The Lord has proven to be more merciful and willing to turn the other cheek concerning Church Prophets and Apostles, than He is to try them and hold them accountable. The Church has excommunicated a few other General Authorities, and a couple Apostles were actually excommunicated over the years - but it's not realistic that The Lord would ever excommunicate a Prophet of His, even if The President needs it. But I personally feel that it is more about IMAGE than Accountabilty Or The Need To Execute Judgement ... What would people think? It would not only be detrimental for weaker Members but probably ruin most of the missionary program of The Church: "Why should I believe you have a living prophet when you excommunicated one of them?" Let alone: "Why should I believe you have a living prophet when you've excommunicated several of them?" ... But whether that is correct or not, the bottom line is that a little corruption is in The Church at the highest level, the Presidents/Prophets, and nothing is ever done about it. THAT bothers me, but since the rest of The Church and The Gospel is 95% or even 98% true - it isn't worth apostasizing over. (Which is one of the reasons I have written this Treatise & Challenge. Some of you might come across some of the controversies I open up here, and some of you might apostasize. I implore you not to do that! For one thing, I testify in the name of Jesus Christ that there is no Church on earth that correlates to The Bible as closely as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does. This correlation and agreement of Biblical scriptures & doctrines is a strong witness as to the truth of The Church. If you stick with me, with what I have spent thousands of hours to build here, I have a GIFT of showing you scriptures that are cross-referenced better than anything on earth, or that have ever been cross-referenced. Even the lauded book, 'Mormon Doctrine', by Bruce R. McKonkie, cannot compare with what you will learn in ScriptureCrossReferences.com --- Don't apostasize over the failings of SOME of the Prophets/Presidents of The Church. I am stronger. more knowledgeable than you, and I do not renounce The Church or The Gospel or The Priesthood over it --- and neither should you. It is not my goal to get anyone reading this to renounce The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My goal is that none of us should be "ZOMBIES" (for lack of a better word), following The Church, being active in The Church, because our parents taught us to, or you have a testimony of The Book of Mormon, or for any other reason. I believe a person should not only follow Paul's admonition, [2nd Corinthians 13:5 - King James Version of The Bible] "Examine Yourselves, whether ye be in The Faith; PROVE your own selves concerning yourself, but that you should expand this concerning The Church and The Gospel itself! (And for those of you who are NOT MEMBERS of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I exhort you in the name of Jesus Christ to also put this Church Examination Test to the test concerning your own Leaders and your own Church, whatever that may be??? If you are Catholic then be bold enough to put your Pope AND The Catholic Church under a microscope, manner of speaking. If you are Baptist, or Methodist, or Assembly of God, do the same! No matter what religion you are, keep READING THIS and I WILL, as a knowledgeable servant of Jesus Christ, direct you into EXAMINING your Leaders AND your Church. To adapt Paul's scripture let's put it like this:

"EXAMINE YOUR LEADERS, EXAMINE YOUR CHURCH, WHETHER YOUR LEADERS & WHETHER YOUR CHURCH IS IN THE FAITH OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST: PROVE YOUR OWN LEADERS AND PROVE YOUR OWN CHURCH!!!"

3

One of the things I don't like about "Trumpers" --- those who follow Donald Trump and think he is the greatest man ever! - with some of them actually carrying signs that say, "Jesus Christ 1st and Donald Trump 2nd!" and others actually carrying signs that say: "Donald Trump is our Saviour!" --- is that the Trumpers I've met don't want to investigate the other side of the story!!! All they want to do is believe that everything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is TRUTH! Because they don't know the other side of the story, I know more about Donald Trump than they do!!! (And I'm NOT a Trumper. I personally believe he is the most evil man in AMerican History!!!) But their lack of investigating him and the other side of the story that condemns him hundreds of times over is very similar to why millions of so-called Christians don't convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because millions of so-called Christians won't investigate it! They want their own religions, whether they are Catholic or Baptist or whatever so much to be true, that they fail to "EXAMINE" not only their own religion but other possibilities that sound good. But in anything in life there are only a few really good ways of doing it and hundreds of bad ways of not doing it. And again, in anything in life there are only a few really good teachers and hundreds of bad teachers! If you go after something being taught by a bad teacher --- you're not going to learn the best way of doing whatever thing you're trying to learn. The problem with whatever Church your in is that you don't have the best teachers! THAT is one of the reasons I am writing this Treatise and Challenge. Millions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints THINK they have the best teachers and the best leaders --- BUT THEY DON'T! Russell M. Nelson has proven that he is a dis-honest man by cheating the U.S. Government! Gordon B. Hinckley proved that he had his own ideas CONTRARY TO JOSEPH SMITH by inferring Joseph Smith was an adulterer! Brigham Young proved he was very willing to teach CONTRARY to The "ORTHODOX TRUTH":

"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will ALWAYS TEACH THE ORTHODOX TRUTH. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."

And these are YOUR Leaders & Teachers that you want to follow???!!! Really??????????????????????

I see a similarity between Trumpers who don't want to investigate the other side of the story, and Church Members who don't want to investigate the other side of the story. Just like millions of Trumpers believe everything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is GOLDEN, so millions of Church Members believe that everything that comes out of the mouth of Gordon B. Hinckley or Russell M. Nelson or whoever the Prophet/President is --- is GOLDEN. And sometimes it totally is! As it was with Joseph Smith. But other times it is a mixture of GOLDEN and NOT SO GOLDEN, as it was with Gordon B. Hinkley and as it currently is with Russell M. Nelson.

I'm not wanting to see any person reading this Treatise & Challenge to apostasize from The Church. What I'm trying to do is encourage Church Member's to speak out when someone like Gordon B. Hinckley insinuates that Joseph Smith was an adulterer. To speak out when Russell M. Nelson is shown to be a crook!

The main reason Gay Marriage (as contrary as that is to the Gospel of Jesus Christ) has become legal is because millions of Americans spoke out! They demonstrated and marched for it to become legal. The reason Gordon B. Hinckley can infer that Joseph Smith was an adulterer, and that Russell M. Nelson can retain being President of The Church being a crook is because Latter-Day Saints ARE AFRAID TO CONFRONT IT! They are COMPLACENT AND COWARDS!

For example, I AM THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE EVER HEARD CONFRONTING THAT RUSSELL M. NELSON DESERVES TO BE DISMISSED FROM BEING PRESIDENT OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS BECAUSE HE COMMITTED FRAUD!!! I have never heard another Church Member complaining about it! They just hear about it on the news and let it go. They are COMPLACENT. COMPLACENT. COMPLACENT. Unwilling to fight for what is right! Unwilling to fight the evil, because the man responsible for it has done so much good. But don't you understand? He's the head of The Church! "For of him unto whom much is given - much is required ..." [Doctrine & Covenants 82:3] We believe the Prophet of The Church walks and talks with God. Did God tell Gordon B. Hinckley to start cheating the United States Government because some Members of The Church might not pay their tithing if they knew how many $billions of dollars The Church was worth? Did God tell Thomas S. Monson and then Russell M. Nelson to continue to keep the FRAUD against the U.S. Government a secret? Either one of these Prophets/Presidents were apostles under Gordon B. Hinckley and could have gone to the legal authorities concerning Gordon B. Hinckleys FRAUD. Then when Gordon B. Hinckley died, Thomas S. Monson could have ended it. But he didn't. He continued to hide it which made him an accessory to the crime. And then when Thomas S. Monson died, Russell M. Nelson could have ended it. But he didn't either because he was just as dishonest as the previous two!

Is THAT really the kind of man you want LEADING THE CHURCH? We expect The Prophet of The Church to exemplify an honest life and an honest leadership, which includes keeping the laws of the land. And if he doesn't, we expect the words of Wilford Woodruff to kick in:

"The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY. It is NOT in the programme. It is NOT IN THE MIND OF GOD. If I were to attempt that, The Lord would REMOVE ME OUT OF MY PLACE and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty."

"For of him unto whom much is given - much is required; and he that sins against the greater light shall receive the greater condemnation." [Doctrine & Covenants 82:3]

Hell! "Condemnation." As far as I know, no one's even talked about it - let alone condemned him! He's a President of The Church and, like Trump, millions of people don't want to hold him accountable. ... Which is the problem ... If a million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had been forthright in their belief in Joseph Smith, they would have complained about Gordon B. Hinckley calling Joseph Smith an adulterer! If five million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had been forthright that The Church should OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND AND NOT COMMIT FRAUD AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, they would have demanded that Russell M. Nelson voluntarily resign as President of The Church. But no! Not one member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints made a hullabaloo about these things!!! Only I, Erving Lambert, has made an uproar on ScriptureCrossReferences.com that The Church has demonstrated CORRUPTION and that three of those CORRUPT PROPHETS/PRESIDENTS should have been excommunicated or at the very least : dismissed! Two of them are already dead, and the third, Russell M. Nelson, is an old man. So should we cover it up? Let it pass? Regardless of how I feel about it: THAT is what is happening ...

Is it worth apotasizing over? NO, it is not. Even though our current leader, Russell M. Nelson is a crook, a dishonest man, there is so much more to The Lord's Refreshed, Restored, Restituted Church of Jesus Christ than Russell M. Nelson. And even though he is a dishonest crook, he is still a very good man and still does a lot of good for The Church.

As testimonies come in hundreds of forms and sizes, so conversions are not one but many. Even though Peter had been with The Lord for many months, witnessing all sorts of miracles and the Spirit and power of God in Jesus, and in the Priesthood of God, etc., still The Lord said unto him:

"Simon, Simon. Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat;

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not, AND WHEN THOU ART CONVERTED, strengthen thy brethren. [Luke 22:31-32 - King James Version of The Bible]

Even the great Peter was NOT totally CONVERTED. Samples of this are Peter's wavering faith (AND FAITH & CONVERSION go hand-in-hand!) to walk on water. He started to do it but then lost his "CONVERSION" ("FAITH") that he could do it!"

"22- And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23- And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

24- But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25- And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26- And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27- But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28- And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

At this point, Peter was "CONVERTED" to it, had "FAITH" that it could be done! And "FAITH" & "CONVERSION" & "NO FEAR" all go hand in hand:

29- And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30- But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;"

And no sooner than 'FEAR' entered into him, he lost his 'FAITH' and his 'CONVERSION' ...

and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31- And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of Little Faith, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT? [Matthew 14:22-31 - King James Version of The Bible]

6

Just as "Perfect Love Casteth Out All Fear" - [Examples]:

"... and I fear not what man can do; for Perfect Love Casteth Out ALL Fear .. [Moroni 8:16 - Book Of Mormon]

"16- And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17- Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.

18- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." [1st John 4:16-18 - King James Version of The Bible]

AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD means, ideally, what Jesus told Peter:

AND WHEN THOU ART CONVERTED, --- as Jesus WAS CONVERTED TO WALK ON WATER, etc.

you will have NO FEAR and PERFECT FAITH to move mountains or walk on water or anything else that is necessary or that comes your way: NO FEAR FAITH = NO FEAR LOVE = PERFECT CONVERSION. Even:

FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE." [Galatians 5:6 - King James Version of The Bible]

And if and when you reach this level of CONVERSION in which you have PERFECT FAITH, you will also have PERFECT LOVE, so much LOVE that you will even be willing to lay down your life for a friend:

"Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends." [John 15:13 - King James Version of The Bible]

Or even lay down your life for The Saviour, as Stephen did in Acts Chapters 6 & 7, and as Joseph Smith did in latter times.

But true CONVERSION & FAITH & LOVE for The Saviour involves more than dying for Him (which very few people ever do!) It involves LIVING FOR HIM ... Now this is a subject we could exhaust many pages on. But for now let's just quote a few scriptures:

"Ye are my friends, IF YE DO WHATSOEVER THINGS I COMMAND YOU." [John 15:14 - King James Version of The Bible]

So to be a deep "Friend" of God"--- such as Abraham was,

"23- And the scripture was fulfilled which sayeth, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him FOR righteousness: and he was called The Friend Of God.

24- Ye see then how by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." [James 2:23-24-King James Version of The Bible]

7

"Ye see then how by" Works Of Righteousness, Works Of Holiness "a man is Justified", --- in examining the life and works of holiness of Abraham, who traveled many miles up into the mountain and in obedience offered up his son, Isaac. A deep Friendship With God is a very conditional friendship. What we might call a 'Hard Love." Jesus has both a 'Hard Love' and a 'Soft Love' for everyone of us, even for a man of the stature of Abraham or Moses. What is the difference between a 'hard love' and a 'soft love'? An example of the "Soft Love" of God is the Resurrection, which comes upon all men at no cost. You can be the most evil man who ever lived, and you are still through the Grace of God Resurrected into "Immortality." Which is, for lack of a better way of saying it, God's LESSER GOAL FOR HIS CHILDREN:

"For this is My Work and My Glory: To bring to pass The Immortality, and The Eternal Life of man." [Moses 1:39 - Pearl Of Great Price]

Now it's true that all men and women are Resurrected, but this "Common" Resurrection that comes upon everyone might be called," "The Common Salvation" [Jude 1:3 - King James Version of The Bible] and The Lord, as well as any successful person, whether in the hereafter or even in this life, does not settle for "Common." This is why Paul wrote:

"27- To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory ... which is Christ in YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY:

28- Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom : that we might present EVERY MAN PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS." [Colossians 1:27-28 - King James Version of The Bible]

No one should be satisfied with being COMMON and UNSUCCESSFUL. You wouldn't even be reading this now if you didn't have a spark of HOPE in you that you can be more than you currently are! The Lord is all about being as successful as you can be! You want to be a millionaire in this life? Wouldn't that be wonderful?! Great! But that is only the success of fifty or one hundred years in this life, and 50 or 100 years of your millions of years of life in the eternities to come, because as already said, You Will Be RESURRECTED FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY (for millions and billions of years) as a Free Gift From God. But as wonderful as that is, it is still something you don't have to even work for, or for that matter, believe in. The "Common Resurrection," "The Common Salvation," is what it is and you can do so much better than that if you're willing to work for it! The Lord has many times greater plans for you as he tries to sell you on being not just a worldly success but an Eternal Success! The Fulness of THIS ULTIMATE SUCCESS is the reason why the scriptures aren't just a few pages long and encapsulated in one Protestant Belief, which is FALSE, that all you have to do is profess, "I Believe in you Jesus", and you'll be saved. But The TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ and Plan of Salvation involves hundreds of principles, doctrines, and ordinances and it cannot be summed up in a few pages: thus the long and complex scriptures exist. The Messenger of Salvation, The Messenger of The Covenant, Jesus Christ is and has to be The Greatest Salesman in The World. He continually sells His Plan and tries a little here and a little there to get all of us to UP OUR GAMES and seek after the Ultimate Eternal Success - what He calls, Eternal Life."

"And this is the promise that He Hath promised us, even ETERNAL LIFE." [1st John 2:25 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." [1st John 2:17 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." [Matthew 7:21- King James Version of The Bible]

"13- For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14- Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15- And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained THE PROMISE." [Hebrews 6:13-15 - King James Version of The Bible] The same PROMISE that is throughout the history of the world and PROMISED TO EVERY Man or Woman that has ever lived:

And this is the promise that He Hath promised us, even ETERNAL LIFE." [1st John 2:25 - King James Version of The Bible]

"16- For men verily swear by the greater: and an OATH for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17- Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto THE HEIRS OF PROMISE the immutability of His counsel, CONFIRMED IT BY AN OATH:

Which "OATH" is called THE OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD, and without this OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD the verity of God, the power of God, the authority of God does not exist for a man (or woman) who are trying to worship God.

" 18- That by TWO immutable things, The Aaronic Priesthood AND The Melchizedek Priesthood] in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon THE HOPE - (of ETERNAL LIFE) set before us:"

19- Which HOPE again, of ETERNAL LIFE, is In The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD, and is the main promise that God The Father made to us in The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD, we have AS AN ANCHOR OF THE SOUL, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20- Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after The Order of Melchisedec." [Hebrews 6:16-20 - King James Version of The Bible]

"For such a High Priest became US The "US referred herein is any man who seeks and obtains The Melchizedek Priesthood correctly - we'll quote The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood soon but for now let's continue with these thoughts and this path:

who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens." [Hebrews 7:26 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD; abideth a Melchizedek "Priest continually." [Hebrews 7:3 - King James Version of The Bible]

--- When you become a faithful Melchizedek Priesthood holder, you are ALSO called BY GOD AND MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD; to share the same Eternal Success that Jesus Christ Himself has been given Eternally by God The Father. This EQUALITY ---

"5- Let this mind be in YOU, which was also in Christ Jesus,

6- Who, being in the FORM of God (as ALL God's children are in HIS FORM basically) , thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD! [Philippians 2:5-6 - King James Version of the Bible

"And He MAKES THEM EQUAL in power, in might, and in dominion." [Doctrine & Covenants 76:95]

Remember in Hebrews 7:3 above it states that those who receive The Melchizedek Priesthood are MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD. which means, WHEN YOU ARE LIKE JESUS, that means YOU become "EQUAL in power, in might, and in dominion." And God The Father, "13- ... because He could swear by no greater," than HIMSELF, because He is even OVER JESUS CHRIST - "He sware by Himself." God The Father's" "OATH" TO YOU, known as The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood --- Is The HIGHEST OATH in The Universe that YOU can possibly receive!!! Who is it that you admire most in life or even in the history of the world? If you were to receive an OATH and a PROMISE from the person you admire foremost --- it still would be far, far, far below what you have or can receive in the "OATH" of God The Father, known as The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood.

But "They are of the world..." ... religious teachers who do not have or know about THE OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD; and churches such as The Catholic Church, The Baptist Church, The Presbyterian Church, etc., as well as Scientologists and others, "... therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."

"7- Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again! As he is Christ's - EVEN SO ARE WE CHRIST'S!"

"8- For though I should boast somewhat more of our AUTHORITY" Both THE AUTHORITY OF The Aaronic Priesthood AND THE AUTHORITY OF The Melchizedek Priesthood "I should not be ashamed." [2nd Corinthians 10:11 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And how shall they preach, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?" [Romans 10:15 - King James Version of The Bible]

"9- Do you not know that they which minister of HOLY THINGS - LIVE OF THE THINGS OF THE TEMPLE? ..."

"Even so hath The Lord ordained that THEY WHICH PREACH THE GOSPEL - SHOULD LIVE OF THE GOSPEL." [1st Corinthians 9-13-14- King James Version of The Bible] The missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are required to go through the TEMPLE, as it should be since they will be preaching the Gospel.

"Blessed be he that cometh IN THE NAME OF THE LORD: WE HAVE BLESSED YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD." [Psalm 118:26 - King James Version of The Bible]

"One thing have I desired of The Lord, THAT WILL I SEEK AFTER:THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of The Lord, and to enquire in His TEMPLE." [Psalm 27:4 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Blessed is the man WHOM THOU CHOOSEST, and causest to approach unto Thee, that He may dwell in Thy Courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of THY HOUSE - EVEN OF THY HOLY TEMPLE." [Psalm 65:4 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And we ask Thee Holy Father, that thy SERVANTS may go forth from THIS HOUSE," The House of The Lord --- His Temple "armed with Thy Power, and that Thy Name my be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have CHARGE over them." Doctrine & Covenants 109:22]

"That all the ends of the earth may know that WE, THY SERVANTS, HAVE HEARD THY VOICE, AND THAT THOU HAST SENT US." [Doctrine & Covenants 109:57]

"For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in THE NAME OF THE LORD." [Matthew 23:39 - King James Version of The Bible]

"We ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH US ---" He THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH The Priesthood of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

"When He shall come to be glorified IN HIS SAINTS, both those from Bible Times and we of The Church of Jesus Christ of LATTER-DAY SAINTS and to be admired in all them THAT BELIEVE (because our testimony among you WAS BELIEVED IN THAT DAY." [2nd Thessalonians 1:10 - King James Version of The Bible]

"1- And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2- For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
3- And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4- And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER:

5- That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD." The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD is a marvelous example of a DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER:" [1st Corinthians 2:1-5 - King James Version of The Bible]

Most things in The scriptures and in The Gospel are things that Jesus Christ commands us or promises us, or in which we learn about Jesus Christ. But The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD is something we learn that GOD THE FATHER DID! There are only probably less than a dozen God The Father acts or events in all of The Scriptures, but none are more important than this one because

"... Eternal Life ... is the GREATEST OF ALL THE GIFTS OF GOD [Doctrine & Covenants 14:7] and THE OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD IS THE ROADMAP SHOWING HOW TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.

"6- Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are PERFECT: [1st Corinthians 2:6 - King James Version of The Bible] Or seeking Perfection, or should be seeking Perfection because they want to SEEK The Lord and the Lord is all about Perfection:

"Be ye therefore PERFECT --- even as your Father In Heaven is Perfect." [Matthew 5:48 - King James Version of The Bible]

"... Therefore WHAT MANNER OF MEN OUGHT YE TO BE? Verily I say unto thee --- EVEN AS I AM!" [3rd Nephi 27:27 - Book of Mormon]

"5- Examine yourselves, whether ye be in THE FAITH: prove your own selves ..."

"8- For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth:

"9- And THIS ALSO WE WISH: EVEN YOUR PERFECTION." [2nd Corinthians 13:5 and 8-9 - King James Version of The Bible]

"... we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom : that we might present EVERY MAN PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS." [Colossians 1:27-28 - King James Version of The Bible]

... CONTINUING with [1st Corinthians Chapter 2:6 ...]:

"6- Howebeit we speak wisdom among them that are PERFECT; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7- But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery," The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD is a great mystery for most people who claim to be Christian! "even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained BEFORE THE WORLD UNTO OUR GLORY: Here again, The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood was declared by God The Father perhaps tens of thousands of years ago. It probably is one of the earliest "BEFORE THE WORLD UNTO OUR GLORY" events that you can find. It probably is very close to the Son of The Man In Heaven (Jesus Christ Himself) being chosen as The Saviour.

8- Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified The Lord of Glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

10- But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD.

11- For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but by the Spirit of God.

12- NOW WE HAVE RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, BUT THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13- Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL THINGS." [1st Corinthians 2:6-13 - King James Version of The Bible]

AND THAT is precisely what we do here at ScriptureCrossReferences.com --- We COMPARE SIMILAR SCRIPTURE CONCEPTS WITH OTHER SIMILAR SCRIPTURE CONCEPTS," COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL THINGS." IF you are enjoying and/or being educated by what you are reading, everyone and every project needs money. We're no different. To be blunt and up front as I have already proven to be, I deserve to make a living off of this PLUS I need money to advertise this so that other Latter-Day Saints can learn these things that are hidden and covered up, as well as maybe some Non-Members of The Church can see that although The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints DOES have some corruption in it - IT IS STILL THE MOST ACCURATE CHURCH AND GOSPEL AND PRIESTHOOD ON EARTH and worth converting to!

CONTINUING WITH The 2nd Chapter of 1st Corinthians, which is one of the most important chapters in The Bible:

"14- But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED."

If for any of hundreds of reasons you have either rejected The Spirit of God OR you are pushing Him away (meaning that spiritually, perhaps without even admitting it) He is willing to teach you but you are not willing to be taught) you can read over "THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD" [1st Corinthians 2:10 - King James Version of The Bible] not realizing how pertinent and critical what you are reading is to your salvation. Some of the things you can read over in that manner are THE OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood, Eternal Marriage, Temples, Godliness etc., Such things may not make sense to you, and may not seem important enough to even underline or yellow it. Without The Spirit (The Holy Ghost) to teach you, some of you in essence are the SWINE referred to in [Matthew 7:6 - King James Version of The Bible :

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet,
and turn again and rend you."

I've had this experience several times where I've used the BEST SCRIPTURES on Non-Members, and they not only did not believe "THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD" I was trying to teach them but they trampled me under their feet, manner of speaking, in teaching the inferior words of Satan which they wanted to believe more than "THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD" which I was trying in vain to teach them ...

With this Treatise in ScriptureCrossReference.com I am somewhat doing the same. I have no idea how many of you reading this will accept these TRUTHS, and how many of you will "trample them under" YOUR "feet, and turn again and rend me. Some of you will use some of the things written herein in the media, on the news, and it won't always be in kind ways.

"15- But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." Yeh, lots of luck with that one!

"16- For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST."

And THAT, THE MIND OF CHRIST" is The Great Problem, as well as The Great Solution. ... Everyone who worships Jesus Christ think they have The Mind & Will Of Christ --- or they wouldn't follow the leader or the church or the philiosophy they follow. And although it should be easy to show them that they really do not, oftentimes just like Trumpers who don't want to investigate facts or even believe facts presented to them, so many millions of people,

"RESIST THE TRUTH." [2nd Timothy 3:8 - King James Version of The Bible]

And at times a Scripturally in-tune man such as myself can't get through to them! The Scriptures are an open book to me, quite clear and easy to understand, but for many millions of people they are full of things they don't comprehend but they either follow leaders and churches that also don't have the correct understandings of "THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD" OR they interpret them on their own terms, their own definitions and interpretations. Now it's true that some churches have men who are closer to the truth than others. But 99% of anything is NOT 100%. Mostly true is not totally true. There is black, white, and shades of gray in almost everything in life. And no one forces you to believe me that The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood is the most superb way to judge which spiritual teacher teaches the best, or which Church is the truest of them all.

The OATH & Covenant of
The Priesthood really
shows and determines who
truly, absolutely, uniquely

"HAS THE MIND OF CHRIST."

11

Actually there are probably as many as a dozen major doctrines that can differentiate which Church is the truest of them all, and really shows and determines who truly, absolutely, uniquely

"HAS THE MIND OF CHRIST."

I'm not going to name all of these, but a few of these are ETERNAL MARRIAGE, TEMPLES, GOSPEL PREACHED TO THE DEAD, the General Concept of THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD (in which The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood is a part of) and co-most-importantly, THE BOOK OF MORMON.

But there are probably several hundred and perhaps several thousand false churches in the world, with new churches and new philosophies coming upon the scene all the time, and the problem with each of these is that they all claim to have The Truth. And yes, many of them do have good things about them, yet they cannot all be equal in the truth - especially when it is quite easy & obvious to discover scriptural contradictions. Because of these contradictions, it therefore is expedient that a person who believes that the FULNESS OF TRUTH is better than a partial truth, not only becomes cognizant that his or her current religious choice may not be the best choice, but is willing to search the scriptures for a better choice. Yet at the same time a person who is ready to search needs to have at least a little understanding of WHAT he or she is searching for. Yes, this is another involved subject, with many scripture cross-references that could be cited, but [John 5:39 - King James Version of The Bible] is a great place to start, for it tells you what you should search for!

"Search The Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have ETERNAL LIFE; and they are they which testify of me."

Now although The Book of Mormon is the validated major way that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints teaches that people should read and study in order to learn which Church is the truest of them all, and I affirm and testify of THAT BOOK as well, I prefer that a person should first read and gain a testimony of The OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD - and then advance to reading and studying and gaining a testimony of The Book of Mormon. I could be wrong in this path, but it is more logical to me for at least six reasons ---

1- The Book of Mormon involves days of reading for most people. It involves many subjects. Whereas The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood is short and sweet: you can read it in a minute or two.

2- The Lord counselled us in [John 5:39 - King James Version of The Bible] to "Search The Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have ETERNAL LIFE; and they are they which testify of me." and The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood quickly cuts to the chase (meaning it bypasses a lot of words and gets right into what it stands for) and clarifies it promises "ETERNAL LIFE to those who will obey and live up (DO) The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood. It is a roadmap to "ETERNAL LIFE" GIVEN By God The Father.

3- That same scripture, [John 5:39 - King James Version of The Bible] also counsels us that when we find scriptures pertaining to "ETERNAL LIFE", those are the things which really really really testify of who Jesus Christ is and His Mission:

"For behold, THIS is my work and my glory: to bring to pass The Immortality and The "ETERNAL LIFE of Man." [Moses 1:39 - Pearl Of Great Price]

And The OATH & COVENANT of The Priesthood quickly gets to the point that THIS is it's objective and purpose.

4- It not only is a hidden and mysterious doctrine that no other Church knows about or advances, but in The Bible it is mentioned and no other 'Bible Church' mentions it in their writings. Perhaps no one in the world has an explanation and a fulfillment of the "OATH" written about in The 6th Chapter of Hebrews? other than he who understands it ...

And 5- The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood supercedes the greatness of Jesus Christ Himself! The Saviour was yet a spirit and just beginning to be part of The Godhead when The OATH & Covenant was uttered by God The Father. The mission of Jesus, His Atonement and Resurrection and Life all tie into this OATH & COvenant of The Father, and those who understand it and magnify it are the truest of brethren with Jesus and the sons and daughters of God in whom God The Father is willing to SHARE ALL THINGS WITH THEM.

And 6- Those who accept The OATH & Covenant will have no trouble reading The Book of Mormon and accepting its truths. Those who accept The OATH & Covenant of The Father will have no trouble accepting ALL THINGS That The SON, Jesus Christ, testifies of The Father:

"Then said they unto Him, What shall we do that we might work the works of God?" [John 6:28 - King James Version of The Bible]

"It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard," The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood --- The OATH & Covenant of God The Father! " and hath learned of The Father" There is no finer way of learning about God The Father than learning and accepting HIS OATH & Covenant in which He cannot lie "cometh unto me." [John 6:45 - King James Version of The Bible]

No Man can truly
come unto The Son of God,
Jesus Christ,
until he accepts
The OATH & Covenant of
The Priesthood of The
Father.

12

Now it is important to understand that to come unto Christ is not just worshipping Him in the comfort of your own home. To come unto Christ involves Priesthood ORDINANCES which were passed down from God The Father to God The Son, from God The Son to prophets and apostles and 70s He chose, who passed them down to stake presidents, bishops, and members of The Church in general. You cannot simply say, "I believe in you Jesus," and be saved in the Kingdom of God (which is The Celestial Kingdom). You cannot just "believe" as the Devils with spirits only believe, for we are MEN AND WOMEN with flesh and blood and are the OFFSPRING OF GOD with responsibilities to that God who is Our Father - because unlike The Devils, we are His children who must strive to remain as such. It is complicated to explain so let's superficially explain it and then leave it for Cross-Referenced Categories.

"28-For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also certain of your own poets have said: For we are ALSO HIS OFFSPRING.

29- Foreasmuch then as we are ALSO THE OFFSPRING OF GOD, we ought not to think that The Godhead ..." [Acts 17:28-29 - King James Version of The Bible] "

"I have said, YE ARE GODS, AND ALL OF YOU ARE CHILDREN Of The Most High." [Psalm 82:6 - King James Version of The Bible]

"HIS SEED ALSO WILL I MAKE TO ENDURE FOREVER, and His throne as the days of heaven." [Psalm 89:29 - King James Version of The Bible]

"19- Thou believest that there is one God, thou doest well; "The DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE and tremble,

20- But wilt thou know, O Vain Man," Who thinks you can worship God, sometimes similar to "The DEVILS" who "ALSO BELIEVE" AND ALSO don't participate in the correct Priesthood ORDINANCES of God, especially don't participate in The OATH & Covenant of The Priesthood THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS of Righteousness And Holiness is dead." [James 2:19-20 - King James Version of The Bible]

"26- For if we sin willfully AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH --- THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS!" [Hebrews 10:26 - King James Version of The Bible]

One of the major differences between The Bible and The Book of Mormon is that, although The Bible contains ALL of the doctrines of The Gospel, sometimes they are NOT explained or expanded upon as the same things in The Book of Mormon. The best example of this is with The Atonement of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon explains The Atonement very very well, combining it with The Resurrection - because The Atonement AND The Resurrection go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other!!! But The Bible (which incidentally is my favorite book!) sadly to say does not explain The Atonement very well. The best verses in The Bible on The Atonement are the four verses in Hebrews 10:26-29, which I am explaining here.

In verse 26 above, it infers that while you are ignorant of The Laws of God, such as a baby, or a mentally retarded person, or someone who has never been taught The Gospel and Plan of Salvation, The Lord does not hold them very accountable for their transgressions. (A 'transgression' is a sin that is done without really realizing that you are sinning. A 'sin' is with knowledge that you shouldn't be doing it but you do it anyway.) Thus, Paul states: "26- For if we sin willfully AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH ---" THAT is when The Lord will hold us accountable. When you are guilty of 'sin', JUDGEMENT must take hold! The Bible explains this a little but here again The Book of Mormon expertly explains it! We won't delve into those things here and now, but the extent of how The Bible explains it is found in Verse 26's:

"26- THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS!"

The Atonement is perhaps the GREATEST OF ALL THE GRACES OF God. So Paul ended his teaching by saying, "despite unto The Spirit of Grace."

" 26- For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS,

27- But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28- He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29- Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, WHO HATH TRODDEN UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, AND HATH COUNTED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of GRACE?" [Hebrews 10:26-29 - King James Version of The Bible]

The "TRUTH"as referred to in Hebrews 10:26 does NOT mean the half-truths of The Catholic Church or the partial-truths of the Baptists, Methodists, or any of the thousand and one other so-called 'Christian' religions that profess to know God:

"They profess that they know God: BUT IN WORKS THEY DENY HIM ... [Titus 1:16 - King James Version of The Bible].

"Having a form of GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER OF GODLINESS thereof. [2nd Timothy 3:5 - King James Version of The Bible]

"1- ... According to the FAITH of GOD'S ELECT TRUE "FAITH is not the limiting faith of The Catholics, The Protestants, or anyone who believes in 1 Heaven And 1 Hell --- TRUE FAITH is the "FAITH of GOD'S ELECT who believe in

"THE THIRD HEAVEN" [2nd Corinthians 13:2 - King James Version of The Bible]

who believe in The HEAVEN OF HEAVENS":

"The heaven, EVEN THE HEAVENS with a plural 'S' - meaning more than 1 Heaven "are The Lord's;" [Psalm 115:16 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Behold, The heaven and THE HEAVEN OF HEAVENS is The Lord's [Deuteronomy 10:14 - King James Version of The Bible]

who believe in The Celestial Kingdom and the "THE THIRD HEAVEN" "THE HEAVEN OF HEAVENS" within that Celestial Kingdom":

"1- In The Celestial Glory there are THREE HEAVENS or degrees; 2- And in order to obtain THE HIGHEST," which is ETERNAL LIFE a man and woman must enter into this ORDER OF THE PRIESTHOOD [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];

3- And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4- He may enter into the other, The other two kingdoms of The Celestial kingdom but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase. known as ETERNAL LIFE, or ETERNAL LIVES, because no man inherits ETERNAL LIFE WiTHOUT HIS WIFE BEING THERE AS WELL!

"Nevertheless, NEITHER IS THE MAN WITHOUT THE WOMAN, NEITHER THE WOMAN WITHOUT THE MAN, IN THE LORD. Which means IN THE LORD'S KINGDOM IN HEAVEN --- IN THE HIGHEST KINGDOM OF THE CELESTIAL KINGDOM! - KNOWN AS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURES BUT ONLY ACCURATELY CALLED "ETERNAL LIVES," (IN THE PLURAL BECAUSE A MAN'S WIVES ARE THERE WITH HIM!!!) IN Doctrine & Covenants 132:19-24:

"And again verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife BY MY WORD, ... and if ye abide IN MY COVENANT ... they The husband and wife or wives who have obeyed the New and Everlasting Covenant of Marriage shall pass ... to their EXALTATION AND GLORY IN ALL THINGS, AS HATH BEEN SEALED UPON THEIR HEADS It is the 2nd Highest of all Priesthood Ordinances with only THE HIGH CALLING OF BEING MADE A GOD - being a higher ordinance!!!

"12- Not as though I had already attained, either were already PERFECT, but I follow after" I seek!

"14- THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD in Christ Jesus." The GREATEST ordinance of all: that will through the laying on of God's hands - ORDAIN YOU TO BE A GOD!

" "21- who shall CHANGE our vile body, THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY!" [Philippians 3:12 & 14 & 21 - King James Version of The Bible] Which is ALSO what THE OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD promises!!!

THE OATH &

COVENANT OF

THE PRIESTHOOD

"33- For whoso is FAITHFUL unto the obtaining of these TWO PRIESTHOODS, AND THE MAGNIFYING THEIR CALLING, are sanctified by The Spirit UNTO THE RENEWING OF THEIR BODIES.

"34- They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron, and the seed of Abraham, and The CHURCH, and Kingdom, and

THE ELECT OF GOD."

"35- And also all they who
RECEIVE THIS PRIESTHOOD
Receive Me, saith the Lord.

36- For he that receiveth
my servants, receiveth me;

37- And he that receiveth me
receiveth My Father.

38- And he that receiveth
My Father receiveth My

ALL THAT MY FATHER HATH

And remember God
The Father is the God or
Owner of "Worlds Without
Number," --- so this is
many times better than the
richest man on earth saying,
'All the billions I have
I will share with you!'

SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM.

"39- And THIS is according to

THE OATH AND COVENANT
which belongeth to
THE PRIESTHOOD. Therefore,

40- ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVE
THE PRIESTHOOD, RECEIVE THIS

OATH & COVENANT OF MY FATHER

which HE Cannot Break,
neither can it be moved."
... 42- And wo unto all those who come not unto This Priesthood ...

[Doctrine & Covenants 84:33-40 & 42]

But we have been massively side-tracked here! So let's get back to what TRUE FAITH is --- which is: "THE FAITH OF GOD'S ELECT THE FAITH OF THOSE WHO TAKE UPON THEM THE OATH & COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD.

"1- Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE FAITH OF GOD'S ELECT, and the acknowledging of The TRUTH WHICH IS AFTER GODLINESS; 2- In hope of ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; [Titus 1:1-2 - King James Version of The Bible]

XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX which Church is the truest of them all, and really shows and determine who truly, absolutely, uniquely

"HAS THE MIND OF CHRIST"

is that anyone can see a doctrine that they know very little about, but they like it, and they determine IT must absolutely be in the church of God that they are forming, and so they claim it. Perhaps they claim it as proof that their NEW CHURCH is different than other churches without that doctrine, and this is why you should believe in their church. Etc. Etc. And of course they will find people who are unlearned and undiscerning and gullible to accept what they say and join their false church. But they are,

"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." [2nd Timothy 3:7 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Having a form of Godliness, BUT DENYING THE POWER thereof - FROM SUCH STAY AWAY." [2nd Timothy 3:5 - King James Version of The Bible]

The POWER OF GOD is another major way of differentiating which spiritual teacher teaches the best, and/or which Church is the truest of them all. I, for example, have had many miracles in my life, some of which I am willing to share, such as a dog charging me and stopped and taken back down to the earth from his leap towards me; and fire burning up into my hands and forearms with no burn to me, and other things; and other miracles that I am not willing to share. I have also been blessed with at least 15 "levels" of The Holy Ghost; as well as spiritual dreams. I can testify in the name of Jesus Christ that you are working with a man who has the power of God with him; but the main way you, reading this can know I am the best teacher you will find, is by what you are reading from what I am typing, and also if The Holy Ghost bears witness of my writings unto you. If he does not bear witness to you, it does not mean I write things uninspired or false. One thing it could mean is that you are not a person who knows what The Holy Ghost feels like. For example, I have had many hundreds of experiences with The Holy Ghost "BURNING" within me; yet my wife who is a good woman (she even is a temple worker) never has experienced The Holy Ghost burning in her bosom, or anywhere else ...

"And they said one to another, Did not our HEART BURN WITHIN US, while He talked with us by the way, and while He OPENED TO US THE SCRIPTURES."
"When The Lord shall have washed away" through baptism and through the Washings & Anointings which are sacred ordinances done within The Temples of The Lord the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem possibly through The Atonement of Jesus Christ? from the midest thereof by the Spirit of Judgement and by THE SPIRIT OF BURNING." (The Holy Ghost as with the previous scripture in Luke 24:32]

ANOTHER MAJOR WAY, iS THE BOOK OF MORMON. is God The Father's "OATH," ">Common Salvation is an individual thing; while the promise" of "ETERNAL LIFE" is a husband and wife thing through the ordinances of the Priesthood.

"19- And this greater priesthood" The Melchizedek Priesthood ADMINISTERETH THE GOSPEL and holdeth the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God.

20 Therefore, in THE ORDINANCES of The Melchizedek Priesthood THEREOF," such as in the second greatest Ordinance of them all (the Sealing Ordinance) of Eternal Marriage that BINDS A Man & A Woman Together Forever! THE POWER OF GODLINESS IS MANIFEST.

21 And without the ordinances thereof, and the authority of the priesthood, the power of godliness is NOT manifest unto men in the flesh;

5

In other words, without THE ORDINANCES Of The Melchizedek Priesthood - there really isn't a Gospel or a Church of Jesus Christ. THAT is how important The Melchizedek Priesthood is! It stands EQUAL in importance with The Atonement of Jesus Christ. You don't have The Church and Gospel without The Plan of Salvation, and you don't have The Plan of Salvation without both The Atonement AND The Melchizedek Priesthood. Furthermore, I don't offer this as verified doctrine but only as my belief: I believe The Atonement of Jesus Christ was DONE THROUGH THE MELECHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD. But whether it was or not, doesn't matter. Both The Atonement AND The Melchizedek Priesthood are so important, so critical to the scheme of things, you cannot have one without the other. Just as The Atonement alone would not save us, so the Melchizedek Priesthood without The Atonement would not save us. Which is one of several reasons why Catholicism, Protestantism, and any other religious form or group cannot also have the complete truth of Jesus Christ. Although The Catholics recognize The Atonement, and even The Holy Ghost (which is the THIRD KEY INGREDIENT OF THE TRUE CHURCH) The Catholics do not have The Melchizedek Priesthood. They claim to have a Priesthood, but they don't call it The Melchizedek Priesthood. Nor is The Melchizedek Priesthood found with The Baptists, or the Methodists, or the Presbyterians. The Melchizedek Priesthood is not found in any of the hundreds of Protestant Churches. The Melchizedek Priesthood is only found in The Church which Jesus Christ, God The Father, and The Holy Ghost RESTORED: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

THChrist! "Nevertheless, NEITHER IS THE MAN WITHOUT THE WOMAN, NEITHER THE WOMAN WITHOUT THE MAN, IN THE LORD." [1st John 2:1st Corinthians 11:11 - King James Version of The Bible]

"1- In the Celestial Glory there are three heavens or degrees;

2- And in order to obtain THE HIGHEST, a man must enter into this order of the PRIESTHOOD [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of MARRIAGE];

3- And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase. [Doctrine & Covenents 131:1-4]

"3- Therefore, prepare thy heart to receive and obey the instructions which I am about to give unto you; for all those who have this law revealed unto them must obey the same.

4- For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant" Of ETERNAL MARRIAGE and be permitted to enter into My Glory.

5- For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing, and the conditions thereof, as were instituted from before the foundation of the world.

6 And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant of ETERNAL MARRIAGE, it was instituted for THE FULNESS OF MY GLORY;" THE HIGHEST KINGDOM OF ALL and he that receiveth A FULNESS thereof must and shall abide the law, or he and SHE shall be damned, saith the Lord God. [Doctrine & Covenants 132: 3-6]

"21- Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my law ye cannot attain to this glory.

22- For strait is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and CONTINUATION OF THE LIVES, and few there be that find it, BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD neither do ye know me.

23- BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that where I am ye shall be also.

24- THIS IS ETERNAL LIVES — to know the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law. Of Eternal Marriage - The New & Everlasting Covenant. [Doctrine & Covenants 132:21-24]

"9- If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of His Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath ETERNAL MARRIED LIFE with his or her Eternal Husband Or Wives; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not ETERNAL MARRIED LIFE. 1st John 5:9-12 - King James Version of The Bible]

"GOD SETTETH THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES: He bringeth out those which are bound with chains: "But the Rebellious DWELL IN A DRY LAND." [Psalm 68:6 - King James Version of The Bible] If I am not mistaken, "GOD SETTETH THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES: means that righteous women who have never had a chance of marrying a righteous man IN THIS LIFE, will be given that chance in the thousand years of righteousness known as The Millenium. Such women, as well as men, even if they did not know about THE ETERNAL MARRIAGE COVENANT KNOWN AS THE NEW & EVERLASTING COVENANT, will be taught that Covenant and be given a chance for it to become applicable and do-able for them. Righteous couples who have fallen in love in the afterlife, as well as those who lived in THIS LIFE but were not given the opportunity to marry in this life, and want to be sealed for all eternity will be allowed to marry (aka SEALED) at the ALTARS inside the temples of The Lord which will be in The Millenium."

"But the Rebellious DWELL IN A DRY LAND." refers to wicked people in this life and the hereafter who reject that "Neither Is The Man Without The Woman, Neither The Woman Without The Man, IN THE LORD and refuse to be married in The Temple, or refuse to accept their Temple Sealing vicariously done for them by faithful Temple Patrons.

"Do ye not know that they which minister of holy things, LIVE OF THE THINGS OF THE TEMPLE, AND THEY WHICH WAIT AT THE ALTAR ARE PARTAKERS OF THE ALTAR." [1st Corinthians 9:13 - King James Version of The Bible] The ALTAR referred to is the Sealing Altar inside every Temple where men and women are SEALED AS ETERNAL HUSBANDS AND WIVES (aka The New & Everlasting Covenant). And WHO WAITS AT THE ALTAR? It is the dead from this life who did not have the opportunity in this life to be SEALED AND MARRIED FOR TIME & ALL ETERNITY. They "WAIT AT THE ALTAR" and ARE PARTAKERS OF THE ALTAR through vicarious proxy workers, both men and women, who stand in their places. The dead and "THE SOLITARY" are blessed by God and married and placed into families, as the scriptures declare:

"GOD SETTETH THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES: Psamlm 68:6 - King James Version of The Bible]

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him ALSO Freely give us all things ? [Romans 8:32 - King James Version of The Bible]

It is a very complicated topic but if you will accept me saying this thought without trying to fully scripturally validate it, thank you! What the scripture is saying is that The Father delivered up The Firstborn Son, in other words commanded Jesus to ATONE for the sins of the world, the greatest spiritual pain in the history of the world, and then also suffer the pains of crucifixion on the cross, one of the greatest physical pains imaginable. And why did The Father of Jesus command this (the answer is very complicated and I don't want to broach it here) but to paraphrase it: to bring his spiritually fallen OTHER sons and daughters back into His presence: as many as will utilize that Atonement of Jesus and DO the many things necessary to qualify for Eternal Life With The Firstborn God-Son who gave His life that His Brothers & Sisters might also LIVE ETERNALLY With His Father and Their Father.

"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My Brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father and YOUR FATHER; to MY GOD AND YOUR GOD."
"That THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, Take Note that Jesus Christ Himself has a God over Him! The Father of Glory, [Ephesians 1:17 - King James Version of The Bible]

"But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; In other words, her husband ... "For the husband is the head of the wife ..." [Ephesians 5:23 - King James Version of The Bible] ... [continuing] ... "AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD." [1st Corinthians 11:3 - King James Version of The Bible]

"7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, who is Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. meaning they are unified or one in purpose; which ultimate purpose is The High Calling of Eternal Life for those who live worthy of it.

8- And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9- If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: As is also if you are a billionaire in this life it is nothing compared to The Riches of Eternity That God Can Give You! for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10- He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us Eternal Life , and this LIFE is in His Son." [1st John 5:11 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Forasmuch then as The CHILDREN" (God The Father's OTHER Sons & Daughters: His OTHER Children--- understand that Jesus was His FIRST CHILD BUT NOT HIS ONLY CHILD) are partakers of flesh and blood, HE ALSO HIMSELF LIKEWISE TOOK PART OF THE SAME Jesus was already in Heaven, was already a God (somewhat) but He Himself did not have a body as yet and also had a Mission as well that through Death (His Death, the Death of Him as God, the ultimate Sacrifice required to SAVE His Brothers & Sisters,) He might destroy him that had the power of Death, that is The Devil;" [Hebrews 2:14 - King James Version of The Bible]

"The enemy shall not exact upon Him; nor The Son of Wickedness "The Devil;" "afflict Him." [Psalm 89:22 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Also I will make Him My Firstborn ..." [Psalm 89:27 - King James Version of The Bible] "Jesus was NOT the firstborn in the flesh here on earth, THAT was Adam; but He was the Firstborn In HEAVEN. Or in other words He was The Firstborn Spirit Child of God The Father who was ordained By God The Father to be a GOD Himself - (you'll need to understand The Oath & Covenant of The Priesthood - which will be quoted in a few minutes - to truly understand the below verses, but here they are from Hebrews 5:5-6:

"5- So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made a High Priest: but He God The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that said unto Him: Thou art My Son, today have I begotten Thee.

6- As He saith in ANOTHER PLACE, HEAVEN --- BEFORE THE WORLD WAS! Thou art a Priest forever AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." "22- Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the noble and great ones;

23 And God saw these souls that they were good, and He stood in the midst of them, and He said: These I will make my rulers; for He stood among those that were SPIRITS, and He saw that they were good; and He said unto me: Abraham, thou art one of them; THOU WAST CHOSEN BEFORE THOU WAST BORN.

24 And there stood one among them that was LIKE UNTO GOD, This Spirit, for indeed He was still a SPIRIT - He had not lived yet and brought forth The Resurrection as yet, was Jesus Christ in the pre-mortal life "and He said unto those who were with Him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;

25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will DO all things whatsoever The Lord their God shall command them;

26 And they who keep their FIRST ESTATE The Pre-Mortal Life Estate where they have been only spirits for perhaps thousands of years already shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate (1/3 of the spirits in pre-mortal life followed Satan and were denied being born into earth life and receiving physical bodies shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their SECOND ESTATE EARTH LIFE shall have GLORY ADDED UPON THEIR HEADS for ever and ever. [Abraham 3:22-26 - Pearl Of Great Price]

NOTE: Pretty much anyplace in the scriptures when it states, ADDED UPON THEIR HEADS THIS refers to The Priesthood. Since 'The Oath & Covenant Of The Priesthood' is the means by which all blessings from God our derived or given, sometimes in other ways but most generally through THE LAYING ON OF HANDS OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD, often, rather than directly saying "The Laying On Of Hands", scriptures will only allude to those ordinances through things like ADDED UPON THEIR HEADS ,etc. For example, In Revelations 14:1 -King James Version of The Bible it refers to The Melchizedek Priesthood as: "And I looked and, lo, a Lamb" The Saviour stood on the Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty four thousand, having His Father's NAME WRITTEN IN THEIR FOREHEADS."

27 And the aLord said: Whom shall I bsend? And one answered like unto the Son of Man: Here am I, send me. And canother answered and said: Here am I, send me. And the Lord said: I will dsend the first. 28 And the asecond was angry, and kept not his first bestate; and, at that day, many followed after him. and that greatest Gift of All Gifts is called" Eternal Life [Psalm 89:27 - King James Version of The Bible]

"HIS SEED ALSO will I make to endure forever ..." "The term" "My Firstborn ..." implies that OTHER CHILDREN will be BORN afterwards. Furthermore "SEED" as herein used means offspring or descendants [Psalm 89:27 - King James Version of The Bible]

[Psalm 89:27 - King James Version of The Bible]

"For whom he did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he"(Jesus Christ, The Firstborn Son but NOT the only son of God because there are billions of other sons, as well as daughters! "might be The Firstborn among many brethren." [Romans 8:29 - King James Version of The Bible

The "Immortality" part of that scripture is 'The Soft Love of God." But The "Eternal Life" is the "Hard Love' of Christ, which He only hands out very discretionary to His True Friends. Abraham was one of those discretionary true friends, and those who follow in Abraham's footsteps can also be discretionary friends with Eternal Benefits handed out to them. Thus following in the footsteps of Abraham is similar to the scriptures which declare we must walk after Christ, such as,

"He that sayeth he abideth in Him ought himself to walk, even as He walked." [1st John 2:6 - King James Version of The Bible] That does not mean that you have to be crucified as The Saviour was, or Atone for the sins of the world as The Saviour did. Likewise , doing the works of Abraham or following in Abraham's footsteps does not mean you have to offer up your son as a sacrifice to God, as Abraham offered up his son, Isaac. But it does mean you need to take upon you the Abrahamic Covenant. Now The Abrahamic Covenant is another complex subject, which we wont broach deeply here, but it has a simple solution:

"15- And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith The Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." [Genesis 22:15-18 - King James Version of The Bible]

"1- Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, YE THAT SEEK THE LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2- LOOK UNTO ABRAHAM your father, AND UNTO SARA that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him." [Isaiah 51:1-2 - King James Version of The Bible]

As said, there is a lot more concerning this, and we will broach a little more in a few minutes, but for now simply realize that not only does God direct you to "LOOK UNTO ABRAHAM" , but also directs you to "LOOK UNTO "SARA."

5

The Abrahamic Covenant is the pathway to Jesus Christ . Similar to how God The Father has committed the "PATH" to Himself (God The Father) to be through His Firstborn Son, Jesus Christ; the Savior has committed The Gospel Promises to be through Abraham AND Sara. It is complicated but comes down to these two things:

The 1st is called 'The OATH & Covenent of The Priesthood':

1-

"33- FOR WHOSO IS FAITHFUL UNTO THE OBTAINING OF THESE TWO PRIESTHOODS of which I have spoken, and THE MAGNIFYING THEIR CALLING, are sanctified by the Spirit unto THE RENEWING OF THEIR BODIES.

34- They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, and the church and kingdom, and The ELECT of God.

35- And also ALL THEY WHO RECEIVE THIS PRIESTHOOD RECEIVE ME, saith The Lord;

36- For he that receiveth MY SERVANTS receiveth me;

37- And he that receiveth me receiveth my Father;

38 And he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father’s kingdom; therefore ALL THAT MY FATHER HATH SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM.

39- And this is according to THE OATH AND COVENANT WHICH BELONGETH TO THE PRIESTHOOD.

40- Therefore, ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE PRIESTHOOD, RECEIVE THIS OATH AND COVENANT OF MY FATHER, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved." [Doctrine & Covenants 84:33-40]

Now, once again, this is a very involved subject and many scripture cross-references could be used. But rather than doing that here, before broaching the 2nd main requirement for becoming part of The Abrahamic Covenant which requires you to

"1- Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, YE THAT SEEK THE LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2- LOOK UNTO ABRAHAM your father, AND UNTO SARA that bare you: [Isaiah 51:1-2 - King James Version of The Bible]

let's go through and analyze some of the key concepts of D&C 84:33-40: 5

"33- FOR WHOSO IS FAITHFUL UNTO THE OBTAINING OF THESE TWO PRIESTHOODS of which I have spoken, and THE MAGNIFYING THEIR CALLING, are sanctified by the Spirit unto THE RENEWING OF THEIR BODIES.

When we are 'RESURRECTED,' whether we have been the most evil man (or woman) who ever lived, or the most Godly man (or woman) - our bodies are RENEWED and REBORN. For most, their dead bodies are dust, and this dust is formulated into a Resurrected body that is Immortal, and cannot experience pain, disease, or physical harm ever again. But God in His wisdom cannot Resurrected everyone with the same type of Resurrection. Likewise, no Godly person wants to live with a rapist and murderer, etc. So again, God in His wisdom has divided out Resurrections into many Kingdoms. We are not going to delve deeply into these kingdoms here, nor into the rules and laws which govern each Kingdom, but let me say, without showing scriptural evidence here, that there are THREE BIG KINGDOMS for the human race: The Celestial, The Terestrial, and The Telestial. People on the earth are not in one of these Kingdoms as yet (but it is said that earth-life is a Telestial or Bottom Kingdom experience). The actual being assigned and living in one of those Three Major Divisions, probably will not happen until after The Day of Judgement (whatever THAT means). But it is necessary for you to know that although ALL men and women who have ever lived WILL BE RESURRECTED, they will not ALL be resurrected into the same kingdom. There is much involved in how they will be selected, and we will not get into that here, other than with the 1st and the 2nd Major Requirements for Accepting The Abrahamic Covenant. But understand that even as one person might be Resurrected into a Different Eternal Kingdom than another person, so those two (or however many billions of souls involved) will not ALL be Resurrected with the same types of Ressurected Bodies! In other words, NOT ALL RESURRECTED BODIES ARE CREATED THE SAME BY GOD. The lowest Resurrected Kingdom, The Telestial Kingdom, will have Resurrected People in it who have your Minimal Ressurected Body. Although it is 'Minimal" manner of speaking, their bodies will still be immortal, and whatever that means. The next Kingdom of The Resurrection will hold Terrestrial People, and their Resurrected Bodies will be whatever they are. Doctrine & Covenants Section 76 speaks generally about such things, but I am not aware of lots of other details. The real changes are probably not experienced unless someone inherits The Celestial Kingdom. And The Celestial Kingdom is made up of three GLORIES in itself, with the top glory being called, "ETERNAL LIFE."

"And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even Eternal Life." [1st John 2:25 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us" Eternal Life "and this Life is in His Son. class="reference">[1st John 5:11 - King James Version of The Bible] 34- They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, and the church and kingdom, and The ELECT of God.

35- And also ALL THEY WHO RECEIVE THIS PRIESTHOOD RECEIVE ME, saith The Lord;

36- For he that receiveth MY SERVANTS receiveth me;

37- And he that receiveth me receiveth my Father;

38 And he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father’s kingdom; therefore ALL THAT MY FATHER HATH SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM.

39- And this is according to THE OATH AND COVENANT WHICH BELONGETH TO THE PRIESTHOOD.

40- Therefore, ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE PRIESTHOOD, RECEIVE THIS OATH AND COVENANT OF MY FATHER, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved." [Doctrine & Covenants 84:33-40]

"21- He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." [John 14:21 - King James Version of The Bible]

"23- Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24- HE THAT LOVETH ME NOT KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me." [John 14:23-24 - King James Version of The Bible]

"3- AND HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

4- HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM, AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM." " - [1st John 2:3-4 - King James Version of The Bible]

"3- AND HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

4- If Ye love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." " - [1st John 14:15 - King James Version of The Bible]

"But the natural man receiveth not the things of The Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." " - [1st Corinthians 2:14 - King James Version of The Bible]

The things of God, His words, His prophesies, even His "COMMANDMENTS" ... are foolishness to anyone who is not spiritually TRYING to learn them, and for the right purpose. Conversion is not automatic and for most people it is not spontaneous. Or easy. Nor does it come to those who are trying to prove it wrong, or looking for a sign.

"17 Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe.

18 Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it." " - [Alma 32:17-18 - Book Of Mormon]

"But without Faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." " - [Hebrews 11:6 - King James Version of The Bible]

".. a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" does not just mean in the Resurrection, such as Eternal Life. Nor does it simply mean God helping you to find a better job, or a spouse. Yes, He can help you with those things but essentially it means LEARNING WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE IS ABOUT. More specifically it involves seeking His Fulness ... "17- That Christ may dwell in your hearts BY FAITH, that ye, being rooted and grounded IN LOVE,

18- May be able to comprehend with all SAINTS" (In these Latter-Days that means with all the Latter-Day Saints of The Church of Latter-Day Saints - so let's paraphrase it as such for your scriptural understanding to expand:

18- May be able to comprehend with all LATTER-DAY SAINTS...

19- TO KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with THE FULNESS OF GOD." " - [Ephesians 3:17-19 - King James Version of The Bible]

"For the perfecting of the SAINTS" (Again, in these Latter-Days that means the Latter-Day Saints of The Church of Latter-Day Saints - so let's paraphrase it as such for your scriptural understanding to expand:

"For the perfecting of the Latter-Day SAINTS"

"12- For the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the BODY of Christ; (Note: the BODY of Christ; herein does NOT refer to the physical BODY of the Lord Jesus Christ. It refers to the body of His Church, which in the Latter-Day means it refers to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A couple examples are:

"For as the BODY is one, and hath many Members" (Members of The Church) "and all the Members of that one BODY, being many, are ONE BODY;" (Or in other words are UNIFIED IN PURPOSES, IN GOALS) "so also is Christ.

"13- For by one Spirit" The Holy Ghost "are we all baptized into ONE BODY," (One Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) "whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free ... 1st Corinthians 12:12-13 -King James Version of The Bible

"And He is the head of THE BODY, THE CHURCH," Colossians 1:18 -King James Version of The Bible

"... for His BODY'S sake, THE CHURCH," Colossians 1:24 -King James Version of The Bible

Let's re-read it again, adding that thought for clearer understanding: "For the perfecting of the Latter-Day SAINTS"

"12- For the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the BODY of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints;

13- Till we all come in the unity of The Faith, and of the knowledge of The Son of God, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of THE FULNESS OF CHRIST."

"THE FULNESS OF CHRIST." is the ultimate goal. And THAT too can be confusing to the unlearned and unstable. Here again we could easily cross reference a hundred scriptures on the subjects (in the plural). Let's present a few and then move on:

"I have said," Ye Are GODS, and all of you are Children of the Most High. [Psalm 82:6 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And if Children, then HEIRS: HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH Christ ..." [Romans 8:17 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS." [Colossians 1:28 - King James Version of The Bible]

"14-I press toward the mark of The HIGH CALLING OFGOD in Christ Jesus."

"Let us therefore, as many as are PERFECT," be thus MINDED ...
"Who shall CHANGE our vile BODY THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY ... [Philippians 3:21 - King James Version of The Bible]

""Let this MIND be in YOU, which was also in Christ Jesus,

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD." [Phillipians 2:5-6 - King James Version of The Bible]

"94- They who dwell in His presence are The Church of the Firstborn; and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having received of His FULNESS and of His grace;

95- And he makes them EQUAL in power, and in might, and in dominion." [Doctrine & Covenants 76:94-95]

Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman; neither the woman without the man IN THE LORD." [1st Corinthains 11:11 - King James Verson of The Bible] "THAT HE MIGHT SEEK A GODLY SEED [Malachi 2:14-15 - King James Version of The Bible]

In other words, "Children" who are HEIRS: HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH Christ ..." [Romans 8:17 - King James Version of The Bible]

"And ye shall be my sons and daughters ..." [2nd Corinthians 6:17-18 - King James Version of The Bible]

"19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man amarry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; ...

[D&C 132:19-20]

it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their EXALTATION and GLORY in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a FULNESS AND A CONTINUATION OF THE SEEDS forever and ever. 20 Then shall they be GODS, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be GODS, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them. [D&C 132:19-20]

This

FULNESS AND A CONTINUATION OF THE SEEDS

is the GODLY SEED declared in Malachi:

"THAT HE MIGHT SEEK A GODLY SEED [Malachi 2:14-15 - King James Version of The Bible]

"34- Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, YE ARE GODS? 35 If he called them GODS, unto whom the word of God came, ((IT"S COMING TO YOU RIGHT NOW!!! --- RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!!))) and the scripture cannot be broken;

THEN WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE THIS???!!! of Christ It starts with a seed. A seed that has to combine meekness and faith as one. No matter how small that meekness that wants to exercise faith is, it requires your willingness to investigate by unshackling yourself from what you think you know and/or what you have been taught or acquired over the years. No one can plant that small seed if they think they know it all, already. No one can plant that small seed if they come across something that seems to be truth, but it contradicts what they think they know, or what they have been taught, or someone they believe knows what he's talking about, such as a Pope or a Pastor, a Minister, even a good friend or brother, and try to cling to both: what you want to investigate as well as your past bulk. Pretty much you need to cut ties, at least temporarily, so that you can investigate unshackled, unhampered, and give yourself a working chance of reforming your belief system. may be, is the first working of Faith that there are people, ordained of God, who know more about God than whatever you yourself may envision Him as, and whatever philosophies, doctrines, beliefs you may have gathered through your years. It takes humility ('meekness') to put what you THINK YOU MAY KNOW off to the side, on a shelf manner of speaking for a while - AND SIMPLY EXPERIMENT with something you are not sure of as yet, but you feel THAT IT MAY BE TRUE, AND IT CERTAINLY IS WORTH INVESTIGATING. ...

Perfect faith endows perfect conversion, and the two of them synergize into Perfect Love. And yet for many people it starts small. The Big Things of The Scriptures and The Church are there for those who can spiritually "see" them,

, but most people do not see them clearly to suddenly exclaim, Uh-huh! This makes sense! I see it now. ... No, most peopleall this starts by being humble enough it starts with Faith (which is a combination of Belief & Doing The Will Of God (which is primarily KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS). so Perfect Faith Casteth Out ALL UN-Conversion. And vice-versa - When you are totally "CONVERTED" you will have total faith you can do anything in God:

"For with God Nothing Shall Be Impossible." [Luke 1:37 - King James Version of The Bible]

But as I am a firm believer that everyone should proceed with eyes wide open, which requires KNOWING The Bad As Well As The Good, let us continue ... There are many examples of how the so-called modern 'prophets' have taught "FALSE DOCTRINE" and then The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints covered up and whitewashed those "FALSE DOCTRINES". Now I could easily, repeat, EASILY, show evidence and info and details about MANY FALSE DOCTRINES taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! (Let me insert however that I am NOT a radical apostate here! I believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is 95% true!!! 95% correct!!! Perhaps even 98%! But I am a firm believer that it shouldn't be just 95%!!! Or 98%!!! The Church should be 100% true! 100% correct!) Until The Church holds it's corrupt leaders accountable --- it will not have the INTEGRITY it deserves.

George Washington faced no constitutional term limits when he was elected as the 1st President of the United States. But after two terms he willingly stepped down, urging that citizens should always put aside their regional and political affiliations and put America first. THAT was honorable and the right thing to do. In 2013, Pope Benedict XVI resigned at the age of 85, because of health issues that impeded his ability to be a good Pope. Again, an honorable thing to do. But not one of the corrupt President-Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ have been man enough and honorable enough to admit their sins and step down, putting The Church first. Brigham Young thought he was in the right teaching that God The Father was Adam (and later) (essentially) that Adam was the Father of Jesus Christ. Half the Apostles knew he was wrong; half of them said, "He must know what he is talking about: he's the Prophet!" During his interview with Larry King, Gordon B. Hinckley felt no hypocrisy stating that Members can keep their own thoughts to themselves but as soon as they publically voice something that is contrary to Church theology - then they risk being excomunicated. But shortly after stating that common members can be excommunicated for going against Church doctrine, he himself went against "The Orthodox Truth of the Scriptures" and The Orthodox Truth of the Church, and stated that he did not believe that "Polygamy is scriptually validated." In stating that, even though he used the word, "believe" --- which made it "HIS" Belief and not necessarily that of The Church, still, he was the President/Prophet and should not have voiced a contrary viewpoint to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, other early Prophets and Apostles, and 50,000 early Latter-Day Saints who practised Polygamy. Furthermore the scriptures of The Church invalidate his false validation [such as Jacob 2:30 - Book Of Mormon] - after condemning Polygamy as "whoredoms are an abomination before me;" [Jacob 2:22-29 - Book Of Mormon] Jacob comes back with, again in [Jacob 2:30 - Book Of Mormon]:

"30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I WILL COMMAND MY PEOPLE; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things."

Or to add to it so that there is no misunderstanding concerning those of you who are too spiritually blind to see it:

"30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I WILL COMMAND MY PEOPLE; TO BE POLYGAMISTS!

Joseph Smith KNEW the true meaning of the condemnation of Polygamy in Jacob Chapter 2. Brigham Young also saw it. But evidently Gordon B. Hinckley wasn't as smart in the scriptures and in the Gospel as the Lord's Restitutory Prophet - Joseph Smith - WHO ALSO WAS THE MAN WHO TRANSLATED JACOB CHAPTER 2. So who KNEW more: Joseph Smith who restored the most heavenly principle of Polygamy - or Gordon B. Hinckley who condemned it?

Even though Gordon B. Hinckley inferred that Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, dozens of other leaders of The Church, plus 50,000 past Members (called 'Saints') were adulterers because if Polygamy was not true - then all these people including Joseph Smith lived in adulterous affairs: they weren't married after all; Gordon B Hinckley went ahead and proclaimed his FALSE HYPOCRITICAL VIEW. --- Yet he himself was never excommunicated for his statements that day, and perhaps I, Erving Lambert, am the only person in the world who believes at the very least he should have been "fired!" If he had been an honorable man he should have resigned at the very least ... but Gordon B. Hinckley wasn't the honorable man that George Washington was. That Pope Benedict XVI was.

Continuing this thought, here is an example of how the so-called "prophets" Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and Russell M. Nelson, went against the laws of the land (which The Church advocates affirmed should be obeyed when they are just laws) and LIED TO AND CHEATED THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. D&C 134:5 states: "We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside," and (In Conference Report, Oct. 1928, p. 16.): “We call upon all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout the world to honor the laws of God, and obey and uphold the law of the land;" Gordon B. Hinckley, (who again inferred, during his interview with Larry King, that Joseph Smith was an adulterer and thus no real prophet - which we won't broach here but later) - began cheating the U.S. S.E.C. (Securities & Exchange Commission) because he was concerned that some Church members might stop paying tithing when they learned how many $billions of dollars the Church was worth! So The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints HID their true monetary values from the U.S. S.E.C. You can't tell me that those three so-called "prophets" --- whom I consider "Fallen" Prophets --- (Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, M. Russell Nelson) did not know that The Church was breaking the laws of the U.S. Government! They knew and they condoned it. As heads of The Church, they defiled themselves. Furthermore this CRIMINAL FRAUD would still be going on IF the U.S. Government had not discovered it! And when it was brought out and uncovered, the media wanted to interview President-Prophet Russell M. Nelson concerning it, and his reply was like an irresponsible child or a dishonest criminal and went something like this: "It's over with, and we're not going to discuss it further ..."

Now we could show and discuss other lies, false doctrines, incidents here, but for now let's just mention the words of Spencer W. Kimball: [October 1976 Conference Talk called 'Our Own Liahona."]

"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will ALWAYS TEACH THE ORTHODOX TRUTH. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."

That was a very whitewashed message condemning a doctrine taught by the 2nd Prophet of the Latter-Day Church, Brigham Young. His FALSE DOCTRINE, or Lie, called The Adam-God Theory, (but actually even calling it a 'theory' is whitewashing it: it should be called The Adam Is God Doctrine, is part of over 500 errors, corruptible acts, and incorrect teachings (which can also be called, False Doctrines), that can be found mostly only through deep research (they require 'deep' research because the Church and its leaders cover them up and hide them - they do not want you to discover these 500 things, so, for example, even The Journal of Discourses (the writings of the early Church apostles and prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) in which Brigham's Young's false 'Adam-God Theory' as well as his false 'Blood Atonement' are not found on The Church's website,

https://ChurchofJesusChrist.org)

because those 500 things make The Church and some of its leaders look bad). THAT is the blunt truth! These 500 things are part of the Negative Truth I refer to. [Negative Truth, as well as the murders and rapes and thousand -and-one other sins that we people do, are also errors taught as truth, whether they are taught knowing that they are false, or errors taught believing they are true but in actuality they are false]. One way or another such errors can also be labeled 'CORRUPTION' and fall under this scripture concept by Paul:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES." --- [Ephesians 6:12 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

'CORRUPTION', whether intentional or unintentional, is found everywhere in the world: Presidents of The United States do it; and Presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints engage in it. What complicates it more than these Presidents engaging in it IS THEIR FOLLOWERS ALLOWING THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT! Trump and his "Big Lie", i.e., would have gone no where if 63 million people hadn't supported it! Likewise, the lie or lies of Wilford Woodruff, Brigham Young, Gordon B. Hinckley, Russell M. Nelson would have gone nowhere if it weren't for almost all active members of The Church unwilling to research and reject such things! Members unwillingness to research to the bad things (as well as the good) and their unwillingness to reject what is not scriptural or logical or ethical or fair, is not something that Jesus in the scriptures is recorded as advocating. Jesus on the other hand is recorded teaching the right thing to do, the logical thing to do, the ethical and fair thing to do:

"Jesus answered him, IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL - BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL." --- [John 18:23 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

But The Church of Jesus Christ, as correct and true as it is on MOST THINGS, (95%, or even 98%, as I assert) does not want you to do the right thing, the logical thing, and the ethical thing when the leaders of The Church are wrong. Ideally they want you to be in the dark and not know about the errors and FALSE DOCTRINES occasionally taught. BUT, if you do know about an error or a FALSE DOCTRINE, then they want you to cover it up. Hide it! Forgive and never mention it! Don't let anyone else know about it. Or, as President Spencer W. Kimball did, if you should have to mention something that a leader did that was a lie or false, then whitewash it and minimize it and never say the offender's name. (Please re-read the above quote by Spencer W. Kimball and hopefully you'll see how he whitewashed it and didn't want to inform you that the offender was Brigham Young, the so-called 2nd Prophet of The Church, who taught about 5 False Doctrines!!! and should have been excommunicated (in my opinion)).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is, according to my awareness and study, which I can prove because I have examined things closely and such things are either in books and magazines, or on YouTube Videos (such as Gordon B. Hinckley's false doctrine spoken of during his interview on the Larry King show inferring Joseph Smith was an adulterer; plus Gordon B. Hinckley's hypocrisy concerning this - stating that others should be excommunicated for publically speaking words contrary to the doctrines of The Church but not applying the same concept to his own public voicing against Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and 50,000 other early Latter-Day Saints. Gordon B. Hinckley should have heeded his own words and not have inferred Joseph Smith was an adulterer and then there would have been lesser problems with Gordon B. Hinckley (although there are other "prophet-failings" of his and he is second behind the many problems of Brigham Young).

Let me assure you, however, even though some of the leaders of The Church (Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Harold B. Lee, Gordon B. Hinkley, Thomas S. Monson, Russell M. Nelson, and some apostles, have not honored their offices and callings in the ways that they should have, and even though The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is NOT 100% Positive Truth - such things do NOT make The Church 100% untrue. If you liken these corrupt leaders and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to a beautiful baby, a beautiful baby that sometimes soils its diaper and dirties its bath water --- you do not throw this beautiful baby out with its soiled diapers and dirty bath water!

But at the same time neither should you deny that the baby DOES sometimes have soiled diapers and dirty bath water. Connected to this, you shouldn't deny that some of the leaders have so-called soiled diapers and dirty bath water and that The Church and its doctrines sometimes needs to be cleaned up, purged, and refreshed! Just as you wouldn't let a baby stay in his messy diaper, chaffing and stinking, so The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints shouldn't be allowed to cover up its "shit" ...

[I apologize for the crass word, but it really really (in my opinion) is the only REAL appropriate word that can be used here!]

Concerning such things, The Savior said two things pertaining to this (repeating this again because the concept is so important):

"If I have spoken evil, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL" ... --- [John 18:23 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

"And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free." --- [John 8:32 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

[When you bear witness of the evil, or become cognizant of the evil, (as I am trying to do here with you) as well as being cognizant of the good, and you can see both sides of the story rather than viewing something half-blind and not seeing the other side of the story ...] it enforces a freedom that you would not partake of otherwise ...

[Let me insert here quickly that no truth can make you free if you do not know about it, or if you cover it up. Truth makes you free when you know both sides of the story and your eyes are more opened than if you only know one side of the story, or only believe that there is good (such as you only believe Russell M. Nelson is good) when there are actually lies and bad things involved as well but you don't know about them, or you refuse to learn about them:

Jesus' statement in John 18:23 about "BEARING WITNESS OF EVIL" is a scripture and a commandment most church-going people do NOT want to do! [In fact in the Temple it states that we "should not speak ill of our leaders." --- I personally feel this was something added to the temple by someone who KNEW there was a lot of controversial things going on in The Church, being taught by the leaders, (such as the 5 false doctrines Brigham Young was teaching!!!) and whoever added that to the Temple Ordinance did so in an attempt to keep Members from condemning the leadership. I personally do not agree with that view! I believe THAT CONCEPT in the Temple Ordinance is wrong and not only LEADS YOU ASTRAY but does not hold leaders accountable for errors if you accept it as more true than JOHN 18:23. You should never accept bad doctrine, even from Jesus Christ himself!!! That's the reason Jesus fairly and justly prescribed:

"Jesus answered him, IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL - BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL." --- [John 18:23 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

And this applies to leaders of The Church too! When someone like Brigham Young states that Adam and God The Father is the same being --- you should denounce it! When someone like Gordon B. Hinkley infers that Joseph Smith was an adulterer --- you should denounce it! When someone like Russell M. Nelson cheats the United States Government --- Church Members should denounce it! When such things happen, especially by so-called Prophets, Church Members should and need rise up against it and demand that so-called Prophet and President of The Church be released from his calling. Most people do not want to speak bad about their pastor, their pope, their apostles or prophet, or Jesus Christ himself. Most church-going "active" people are in denial that their pastor, pope, apostle or prophet, can do any wrong! They either do not want to believe it, or they overlook it and "whitewash" it (COVER IT UP and try to make it seem as if it had never happened, was never there, was never said by the offending pastor, pope, apostle or prophet. BUT WHEN SOMETHING IS SAID - IT IS SAID! It becomes a part of history. You cannot delete what a prophet has said (whether it is Positive Truth or Negative Truth). You cannot deny the false doctrines of Brigahm Young, or that Gordon B. Hinckley inferred that Joseph Smith was an adulterer. What was said by a Prophet endures. It remains. Ignorance may cover it up because it is simply not known, but those who research and gain the knowledge of things hidden for whatever reasons Know The Truth, and The Truth 'makes them' free.

So how does recognizing the beautiful baby's (the offending prophets and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), so-called 'soiled diapers and dirty bath water' make you free? 1st, it makes you FREE from claiming that The Church of Jesus Christ is perfect and flawless. It makes you FREE to 'see' that The Church is a progressive thing in which The Lord has NOT sustained everything good and right that He began with when He Refreshed, Restored, & Restituted The Church of Jesus Christ. The Church in this dispensation started good, under Joseph Smith's leadership, but then started becoming corrupt under Brigham Young's leadership. And after B. Y.'s leadership, occasionally other Prophets and Apostles, as well as an occasional Stake President and Bishop, and Members in general, have also said or done things that corrupt the Church a little here, a little there. The Book of Mormon teaches that there must be an opposition in all things, and as much as most members of The Church do not want to admit it, there is an occasional opposition even amongst Prophets and the Doctrines they teach! Paul said,

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, THAT YE ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, and that there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; but that ye be PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND and in the same judgement." --- [1st Corinthians 1:10 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

Not only do the several Catholic churches not speak the same thing as the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Baptists, and hundreds of other Protestant churches, but even modern apostles and prophets do not always SPEAK THE SAME THING in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

"That there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU;" is a truth that hundreds of corrupt churches and denominations do not live up to.

"That there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU;" is also a truth that a few modern-day prophets and apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints DO NOT LIVE UP TO ...

To me, it is critically important to realize that THERE ARE DIVISIONS AMONGST US! I refer not only to the thousand-and-one Protestant Churches that teach conflicting things and do not agree on ALL OF THE PRINCIPLES AND DOCTRINES taught in The Bible, but (as said) I also refer to modern-day prophets such as Gordon B. Hinckley teaching a different primary doctrine than Brigham Young, and Brigham Young teaching several false doctrines contrary to Joseph Smith who said nothing about the false doctrines Brigham Young would later teach, etc. (such as The Adam-God Doctrine, and Blood Atonement). Here again I assert that the things taught by Joseph Smith is the STANDARD which we should always adhere to, and someone who teaches different than that STANDARD, THE DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY JOSEPH SMITH, should be considered a false teacher and a liar, and, according to what that false teacher or fallen prophet has falsely taught or lied about, he should be excommunicated for teaching his false doctrine (as Gordon B. Hinckley hypocritically stated during his Larry King interview in which he denounced a major doctrine of the Church as "not scripturally validated" --- even though Joseph Smith and Brigham Young BOTH VALIDATED that doctrine - as well as the Scriptures. [Note: I could, but I'm not referencing that link HERE because it requires a lot of writing and interpretation to explain what is going on. It simply will detract you too much if I place it here. (There's a time and a place for everything. You'll be able to study such things in other places in these writings, if you wish.]

2nd, when you recognize that the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints DOES have 'soiled diapers and dirty bath water" that must be thrown out, but not at the same time thrown out with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a whole, it makes you free to realize that all doctrines of The Church must concur (agree) with the scriptures! There are those (as I do) who say that THE SCRIPTURES IS THE SUPREME STANDARD that we should follow. And then there are others who state that the living prophets and apostles are superior to the old prophets and apostles (whose writings are in the scriptures). I concur that they are both very important. BUT (where I vary), YOU DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT SUSTAIN A LIVING PROPHET OR APOSTLE WHO TEACHES CONTRARY TO THE DEAD PROPHETS AND APOSTLES! As Paul said,

"but that ye be PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND and in the same judgement."

Since Joseph Smith, through the help of Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, RESTORED ALL THINGS,

"For I have conferred upon you the keys and power of the Priesthood, wherein I RESTORE ALL THINGS --- [Doctrine & Covenants 132:45]

is there really a 'need' to add additional doctrines (as Brigham Young did several times)? For example, is there really a 'need' to change D&C Section 89 (the so-called 'Word of Wisdom') from "Hot Drinks" to 'Coffee & Tea?'

Even though I consider Gordon B. Hinckley a 'fallen prophet,' not every thing he said was bad stuff - any more than not every thing Brigham Young said (the most "fallen" prophet of all!) was bad stuff. Here is a paraphrased quote of something Gordon B. Hinckley stated, that agrees with what is already written - THE SCRIPTURES! Brother Hinckley was asked during an interview something like, "You don't bring forth much new doctrine." Brother Hinckley replied: "Most of what needs to be said has already been said ..."

Whether living prophets and apostles are superior and more important than the scriptures is debateable by broad general thinkers. But as a specific and deep thinker myself, I argue affirmatively that you should never think a prophet is a prophet simply because of his 'office' or 'calling.' What makes him a prophet isn't his office or calling alone, but that he walks hand-in-hand "PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND and in the same judgement" WITH GOD. That's what makes a prophet a prophet is that he is God's supreme representative: he acts, he thinks and he speaks as if Jesus Christ himself were right in front of you!

"... whether by mine own voice, or by the voice of my SERVANTS, IT IS THE SAME." --- [D&C 1:38] ---

OR, to again combine what's in The Bible with this verse from the D&C:

"... whether by mine own voice, or by the voice of my SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, IT IS THE SAME." --- [D&C 1:38] ---

IF you can agree on that, then it brings new light to the importance of the Scriptures. As President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball taught:

"ALWAYS TEACH THE ORTHODOX TRUTH ... ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES"

it makes you free to realize that no apostle or prophet has the right to teach contrary to the scriptures! Whatever an apostle or prophet says must be proveable in the 4 Standard Works of The Church!!! (This also goes for any member of The Church, including me. If anything I write here is contrary to the 4 Standard Works, then you have every right to not believe it; but I will always validate what I say through the testimony of multiple witnesses: meaning what God states,

"In The Mouth of 2 Or 3 Witnesses Every Word May Be Established ..."

AND

"It Is Also Written In Your Law" (Law herein meaning Scriptures or Religious Writings, although in other places it can stand for a shortened version of 'The Law Of Moses') "That The Testimony of Two Men Is True ..."

--- [Matthew 18:16 | John 8:17 - King James Version of The Bible] ---

because not just 1 man, even if he is the current prophet of The Church, but the similar teachings of multiple prophets and apostles, should always be the GOAL of any scriptorian, teacher, or leader of The Church. It certainly is My Goal . Multiple witnesses is what the term 'CROSS-REFERENCING' is all about!!!

Although ScriptureCrossReferences.com does not belong to any Church, per se, ScriptureCrossReferences.com teaches the "ORTHODOX TRUTH" of the Scriptures. When this or anyone teaches the "ORTHODOX TRUTH" of the Scriptures, one does not pick apart the Gospel of Jesus Christ but teaches the ENTIRE TRUTH of Jesus Christ. I teach the ENTIRE TRUTH of Jesus Christ, and as such, I must embrace not just some of the doctrines but ALL of the doctrines of The Bible and of the other Scriptures. As such:

"Evil Men And Seducers Shall Wax Worse And Worse DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED." --- [2nd Timothy 3:13 - King James Version of The Bible]

"Let no man DECEIVE you, ... for that day shall not come"
(The 2nd Coming Of Christ, and before that, The Lord bringing back
THE REFRESHING, THE RESTORATION, THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS as found in --- [Acts 3:18-21 - King James Version of The Bible]
and other places ...)
"EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST" --- [2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12 - King James Version of The Bible]
"BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH,"

{And what TRUTH is that?}

The TRUTH that THE FOUNDATION of the Church was destroyed. Paul stated in --- [Ephesians 2:19-20 - King James Version of The Bible]:

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers ... but SAINTS ... of the HOUSEhold of God. And are built upon THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..."

THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..." is the "FOUNDATION" of the original New Testament church - The Church of Jesus Christ.
THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..." is also the "FOUNDATION" of the Refreshed, Restored, Restituted New Testament-"like" church in these Latter-Days, even - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The Church isn't built on the FOUNDATION of popes; nor is it built on the foundation of Billy Graham or L. Ron Hubbard, or of any pastor or minister who thinks he knows something but knows little of the things he really should know ... EVER LEARNING AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
THESE RESIST THE TRUTH." --- [2nd Timothy 3:1-8 - King James Version of The Bible]. If popes had been the Foundation of The Church it would have said, 'And are built upon the foundation of popes.' But it did not say that: what it says is the truth of God, and will always be the truth of God: "THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..."

The Church cannot, repeat, CANNOT, be built upon the foundation of popes, or Billy Graham, or L. Ron Hubbard, or any pastor or minister leading it. It is not in the Plan of God for such people to lead The Church. With popes, with Billy Graham-like people, and literally all ministers and pastors - The Church will always, repeat, ALWAYS, be lacking the "ALL THINGS" OF GOD so necessary, so expedient, so foundational for its very existence! The Church, not meaning the false church of The Catholic Church, or the false church of The Baptists, or the false churches of The Methodists, The Presbyterians, or any of the thousand and one false churches of The Protestants, but meaning the true Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints set up by The Lord Himself (see Daniel 2: 44 and Acts 3: 18-21), must be "BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS" - or The Church simply does not exist ... You cannot have The Church without the "ALL THINGS" found in The Bible and in the other scriptures, or it is not The Church of Jesus Christ. The pope(s) of The Catholic Church have had 2000 years to refresh, restore, and restitute (bring back) the "ALL THINGS" but they, the popes, have not done so because they are NOT prophets and they are NOT apostles: they are simply a false office created by the usurpers, which they called 'pope!' And the popes don't know what they are doing! The Catholic Church led by popes and cardinals still, after 2000 years, lacks many, many of the "ALL THINGS" so necessary to be called The Church of Jesus Christ. Nor has Billy Graham and others like him, such as Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Mary Baker Eddy, L. Ron Hubbard, and other false ministers who have falsely called themselves to preach what they think is the word of God, brought back the "ALL THINGS" so necessary for the church to be THE CHURCH; and neither will local fathers, pastors, and ministers bring back anything on a big and important scale. They cannot because they are not called and ordained of God as God's true apostles and prophets are! They are not "THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS" - because the Romans and the Italians and The Catholics destroyed that "FOUNDATION".

Relating to that destruction done by The Catholics most specifically, --- [Psalms 11: 3 - King James Version of The Bible] states: IF THE FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Let's re-word this to be very specific for our understanding here: IF THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

When the popes and the Romans literally killed off THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..." by crucifying Peter upside down, beheading Paul, and eventually killing most of the other apostles; as the Romans murdered the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ, eventually the FOUNDATIONS of The Church of Jesus Christ were destroyed. Then, even though THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ..." was no longer there, approximately 300 years later the Italians (or Romans as they were called) created their own church, calling it The Catholic Church, which they thought (how could they be so blind and stupid???!!!) was totally patterned after the Christian Church, but in actuality was only loosely patterned after the TRUE Church of Jesus Christ. The righteous, through it all, could do nothing against this usurpation of the Italians (the Romans), The Catholic Church. The righteous were slaughtered by the hundreds or thousands by these usurpers, and few of the righteous survived the onslaught. With the death of each Saint (or Member of The Church)

"... to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be SAINTS - WITH ALL that in EVERY PLACE call upon the name of Jesus Christ" [1st Corinthians 1:2 - King James Version of The Bible]

not only did the correct knowledge of The True Church disappear, but also the correct Priesthood Authority to exercise the gifts of The Holy Ghost got eliminated. And without The Holy Ghost SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS, or in other words, SATAN, began to reign more fully across the world than he had before ...

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES! --- [Ephesians 6: 12 - King James Version of The Bible]

In no place is that SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS HIGHER OR GREATER than in that church set up by the Romans, the Italians, the original usurpers! - in no place is it HIGHER OR GREATER than in The Catholic Church!

When you pull away THE FOUNDATION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS ...," the HOUSE-hold of God (or CHURCH) grumbles* and falls ..."

* NOTE: "grumbles" is not a typo! All of the doctrines of Jesus Christ are in The Bible. Even more so than in The Book of Mormon. But with both books, people "grumble" (complain, whine, don't want to believe, accept, and live) the doctrines therein, and because of their bad attitude the Gospel and The Church "crumbles" for them. SO that is what I mean by coining the term: "grumbles and falls."

23- And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24- And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25- And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26- And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27- No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house."
--- [Mark 3:23-27 - King James Version of The Bible]

That's what the originators of the Catholic Church, the Italians, did over hundreds of years. Manner of speaking, they bound the strong man, the Saviour, bound His representatives, the apostles and prophets and other leaders in His two priesthoods, The Aaronic and The Melchizedek Priesthood, and then they spoiled the Saviour's house - His Church. They were called Romans back then, not Italians, (which is why the church they formed is often referred to as the ROMAN Catholic Church - because it was started by un-Christian Romans in ROME! Not Christ in Israel. Take note of that. (The Lord started His Christian Church in Jerusalem - not in Pagan Rome which worshipped Mythological Gods such as Jupiter and Mars, as recorded as part of the Twelve Great gods by the Augustan historian Livy, who lived some of his life during the life of The Saviour, and as years after the death of The Saviour in Acts 14th chapter.))) These same people who worshipped Jupiter and Mars, although they now claim to worship Jesus Christ, are still "turned unto fables" --- [2nd Timothy 4:3-4 - King James Version of The Bible] having the same twisted upside-down mentality as their forefathers, the Romans. The Italians today cannot escape the murderous history of their Roman forefathers! But they deny such things and do not teach them. Although the Jews are blamed for crucifying the Saviour, the Jews themselves did not carry out the dirty deed! It was the Romans! The ancestors of the modern-day Italians are the ones who created the torturous death known as 'crucifixion,' and they are the ones who actually hammered the nails into the hands, wrists, and feet of Jesus Christ and crucified The Saviour of The World, an unpardonable sin! (in my opinion). (Sure, the Saviour on the cross cried, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do!" [Luke 23:34 - King James Version of The Bible] --- which I believe was meant for the three or four Romans responsible for actually crucifying Him; and I also am cognizant that Jesus in speaking with Pontius Pilate (the head Roman over this matter, who could have released Jesus) was also held less accountable by Jesus, who placed the greater blame on the Jews who required his crucifixion,

"10- Then saith Pilate unto him, Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and power to release thee?
11- Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." [John 19:10-11 - King James Version of The Bible]

still, (and I could be wrong on this (I won't be so dogmatic to claim I am absolutely sure on this: after all, I am not God, only He knows what He will do concerning those who crucified him) but I myself believe no people can kill the Saviour of The World and be completely forgiven for it! Whether Jew or Italian - they were both responsible. Just because Jesus alluded that the Jews held the greater responsibility does not exonerate the Italians from their roles in killing The Saviour of The World. And just because the modern-day Jews or the modern-day Italians do not remember these events or admit to something that happened two thousand years ago, The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ will always be a part of both of their histories.) But as concerning the Romans participation in this Ugliest Act In Human History, was crucifying the Saviour enough for this bloodthirsty, evil people? ... No. ... Years later they also crucified upside-down the head apostle, Peter. They also beheaded Paul the Apostle, and eventually killed all of the main leaders and disciples of Jesus. Yet even with destroying the leadership of the so-called "Christian Sect" - they weren't satisfied. They sought complete anihilation and rounded up any member they could find, men, women, and (probably) children. Hundreds if not thousands of Christians in gladiator rings, feeding many of them to the lions.

While doing all this murder they also wrought havoc on The Bible, doing away with Christian principles, such as the heavenly principle of polygyny (a husband having more than 1 wife, which Brigham Young taught was absolutely mandatory in order for men and women to inherit Eternal Life! (or in other words as the Latter-Day Prophet Brigham Young explained it:

"... If you wish to obtain the blessings which Abraham obtained, YOU WILL BE POLYGAMISTS at least in your faith, OR you will come short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true as that God lives. The man that" (or woman that) "resists polygamy in his" (or her) "heart, will come short of dwelling in the presence of the Father and the Son, in Celestial Glory. THE ONLY MEN WHO BECOME GODS, EVEN THE SONS OF GOD, ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTO POLYGAMY.")

http://jod.mrm.org/11/266 )

Now, what Brigham Young taught is not isolated to so-called Mormon literature. The Bible teaches two types of marriage and it is easier to apply the concept of multiple witnesses concerning Polygamy than it is to find multiple witnesses for Monogamy. Only a few evidentiary verses for Monogamy exist, unless, perhaps, you consider the Book of Ruth. But if you do then The Book of Ruth should be considered the story of one witness. Whereas, there are over 40 passages for Polygamy. If God were strictly against Polygamy, why would He allow so many references to bear witness of it? Perhaps the most powerful of these references (witnesses) found in The Bible is:

--- [Isaiah 4:1 - King James Version of The Bible:

"And in that day 7 women shall take hold of 1 man, saying, let us be called by thy name ..."

AND because The Lord wanted the doctrine of Polygamy in The Book of Mormon, the same verse is repeated in 2nd Nephi 14:1]

Which, if you believe The Book of Mormon is true, including the statement, "A man can come closer to God by reading and abiding by the precepts of The Book of Mormon than by reading any other book," then why would God allow Polygamy to even be found in The Book of Mormon - if God were strictly against Polygamy? Figure it out! If The Book of Mormon is so true and Polygamy so false - Polygamy shouldn't even be found in The Book of Mormon! Or found in The Doctrine & Covenants, or for that matter: found even in The Bible. If God is so against Polygamy, why does God allow so many scripture passages on the subject of Polygamy?

To reiterate, it a mistake that God repeated the words of Isaiah concerning Polygamy. Not only did The Lord want Polygamy in The Book of Mormon, but the first Nephi read the words of Isaiah and included them. Nephi could have been against it and excluded that passage very easily and who would have known differently? (Probably only God ...) But Nephi wrote:

2nd Nephi 11:2 And 2nd Nephi 11:8 but Mormon, who edited the things placed in

Also consider that two of the most beloved men of God in history WERE BOTH POLYGAMISTS!

"And David grew great, and THE LORD GOD WAS WTH HIM ... AND DAVID TOOK HIM MORE WIVES." --- [2 Samuel 5: 10-13 - Bible]

[Notice that The Lord was "WITH DAVID" even though "DAVID TOOK HIM MORE WIVES". The marrying of multiple wives was not disapproved of by The Lord because, Why?, because David MARRIEDthem! Marriage, especially 'ETERNAL MARRIAGE' is probably the most important doctrine for 'Eternal Life', which is the HIGHEST & TOP Kingdom of God, where God SHARES EVERYTHING WITH THOSE WHO INHERIT IT. (I could easily cross-reference several dozen, actually probably a hundred scriptures here, to validate how important Eternal Marriage is concerning this, how important Polygamy is conceerning this, and that God's main goal is to find A HUSBAND WITH HIS ETERNALLY-MARRIED WIVES who are willing to become GODS. I will not take the time here to go through a hundred scriptures concerning this most important subject; but I will share a few scriptures concerning these things, before we continue with our thoughts: "And if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have Eternal Life , which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God." Doctrine & Covenants 14:7

"1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of THE TRUTH WHICH IS AFTER GODLINESS;

2- IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;" [Titus 1:1-2 - King James Version Of The Bible]

"1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, AS TOUCHING THE PRINCIPLE AND DOCTRINE OF THEIR HAVING MANY WIVES AND CONCUBINES ---"

In other words ... "AS TOUCHING THE PRINCIPLE AND DOCTRINE OF"

POLYGAMOUS

WIVES!!!

In other words, what Brigham Young wrote that

YOU WILL BE POLYGAMISTS at least in your faith, or you cannot inherit ETERNAL LIFE ...

IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DOCTRINE & COVENANTS SECTION 132 IS ALL ABOUT POLYGAMY!

The modern Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints basically overlooks and avoids what is in D&C 132. They quote a few scriptures from it but mostly overlook and avoid the majority of the Chapter or Section. But all you have to do is read Verse 1 to know that Section 132 is about Polygamy! It isn't about Monogamy --- IT'S ABOUT POLYGAMY. The few verses of 132 that the modern leaders and teachers quote from this Section are generally in their trying to justify a Monogamous TEMPLE MARRIAGE as so essential to salvation. And it's true that marriage, whether it is a civil or a Temple Marriage, starts out Monogamous. Even a Polygamous Man does not start out marrying 10 Polygamous Wives. He starts out marrying ONE WOMAN, and then must have the 'PERMISSION' of this first wife to add other wives. This by the way is the scriptural definition of Let's repeat the 1st verse to keep your reading cohesive:

"1- Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, AS TOUCHING THE PRINCIPLE AND DOCTRINE OF THEIR HAVING MANY WIVES AND CONCUBINES ---"

2- Behold, and lo, I am the Lord thy God, and will answer thee as touching this matter.
3- Therefore, prepare thy heart to receive and obey the instructions which I am about to give unto you; FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THIS LAW REVEALED UNTO THEM MUST OBEY THE SAME.
4- For behold, I reveal unto you a New and Everlasting Covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; FOR NO ONE CAN REJECT THIS COVENANT AND BE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO MY GLORY.
5- For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall ABIDE THE LAW WHICH WAS APPOINTED FOR THAT BLESSING, AND THE CONDITIONS THEREOF, as were instituted from before the foundation of the world.

6- And as pertaining to the New and Everlasting Covenant, IT WAS INSTITUTED FOR THE FULNESS OF MY GLORY," (For those who become "GODS, AND THE SONS OF GODS" as Brigham Young stated in his quote that we're using so much in this treatise because it's the most important concept there is for those of you who want to inherit that ETERNAL LIFE & ALL THINGS PROMISED BY GOD. ( it was instituted for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God. What The Lord disapproves of is fornication (which is having sex by the unmarried), adultery (which is sex when either party is already married), and rape. (NOTE: Homosexuality is also NOT APPROVED OF by The Lord.)). The polygamy of David was NOT a sin nor was it what caused his downfall with The Lord. What caused his downfall was that he raped Bathsheba, committed adultery with her, and then had her husband, Uriah, killed. It's important to realize it wasn't the Polygamy as some staunch Monogamist religionists want you to believe. It was the rape, adultery, and murder that The Lord condemned. We won't get into scripture references concerning David's sins in those things. But David taking more wives was accepted by The Lord, and those scriptures we do reference because they are important]:

"Then David took more wives at Jerusalem" --- [1 Chronicles 14:3 - Bible]

And then there is one of the greatest prophets of all, in whom The Abrahamic Covenant was formulated to) Abraham, who was also a Polygamist! :

"And Sarai, Abram's wife, gave (Hagar) to her husband Abram to be his wife." --- [Genesis 16:1-3 -Bible]
"And Abraham believed God; and he was called The Friend of God." --- [James 2:23 - Bible]
