And because they desired it, God hath done it, that they may stumble."

{The below verse is an excellent example of how unhumble people can argue a scripture or a truth statement. Jesus knew the woman was humble, and perhaps that is why He stated: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS. ... If He had said that to a person or to a people who rejected Him, they might have argued with Him. Likewise, we could say, Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: FOR SALVATION IS OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS. ... We could say this to someone who is humble enough to receive it; but there are many unhumble people who reject The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and if we were to make such a bold statement as that, we would be in a roaring argument perhaps. Therefore such a statement needs to only be said when and if The Holy Ghost directs you to make such a claim. But this is true of all of His teachings: they should only be done through the direction of the Holy Ghost."

"13 And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, AS THEY SHALL BE DIRECTED BY THE SPIRIT."

"14 AND THE SPIRIT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU BY THE PRAYER OF FAITH; AND IF YE RECEIVE NOT THE SPIRIT YE SHALL NOT TEACH." --- [D&C 42: 13-14]


"22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS. ..."

{Does this mean that you should become Jewish? Heaven forbid! What it means is that the Saviour was born of the Jews, and The first Gospel and Church of Jesus Christ came through The Jews. But The Gospel of Jesus Christ is no more Jewish than the Catholics are Christian! To be Christian is not in word or falsely proclaiming that you Christian, but in accepting and living the true doctrines of Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter if you are baptized as the Catholics and the Baptists want to baptize you, false baptisms have no eternal significance (they may make you feel good for a time, much like a hot bath does) but only the authorized baptism of the Church that THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP - Daniel 2: 28 & 44 - is acceptable unto God, having eternal significance. The thousand other churches baptizing are unacceptable to God and have no eternal significance other than they take you away, pull you down, and influence you to not believe in the true baptism and doctrines of salvation.}"

"25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things."

26" Jesus saith unto her, I THAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE." --- [John 4: 22 & 25-26 - Bible] {There are some that would take this verse as boasting; as the Saviour boasting that He is the Messias. But it is a statement of fact that He does here; not a boast. In Hebrews 6: 13 is a similar scripture that could, by wicked men who understand it not, be called a boast: "FOR WHEN GOD MADE PROMISE TO ABRAHAM, BECAUSE HE COULD SWARE BY NO GREATER, HE SWARE BY HIMSELF" ...}


{And I bear testimony of these truths about The Rock, The Stone, and The Cornerstone, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN." - (Elder Erving Axel Lambert - 2/5/2017}
