I like to read and discuss all things about Restoration Theology. I converted to Joseph Smith Junior as The Prophet of The Restoration in 1996 and have studied in depth the History and Doctrine of The Church from Joseph Smith Junior to modern times. I was a Southern Baptist at the time of my conversion. Before that I was from an inactive LDS family. I was very anti Mormon during my Baptist years which caused me to learn all I could about the gospel after my conversion and delve deep into Restoration Theology. After my mission I became a trucker which allowed me to focus on my love of restoration Theology and my focused study of it. Between my study, revelations and dreams and visions along with confirmation of The Spirit, I have been given many deep insights into the true interpretation of Gods truth. Join me in discussing all that The Restoration has to offer as we delve deep into Last Days Prophecy and Gospel Discussions. ]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6497137/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Religion</category><copyright>Copyright Red Bearded Mormon</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg</url><title>LDS Last Days Prophecy and Gospel Discussions</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/zion-s-redemption-radio-network--6497137</link></image><lastBuildDate>Sun, 26 Jan 2025 05:41:28 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:name><itunes:email>feeds@spreaker.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>My Name is Mark Lichtenwalter, I used to host The Kingdom of God or Nothing Podcast/Radio Show.

The inhabitants of Illinois and Missouri were in dreadful condition, the men and women killing each other in the most brutal manner.  Next I visited the city of Washington, D.C., and found the place deserted and in ruins. From there I went to Baltimore and on the square, where stands the monument of 1812, dead bodies of the inhabitants [14] of the place were piled in heaps. While there I saw mothers cut the throats of their own children and drink the blood in order to quench their thirst. The waters of the Chesapeake Bay were so befouled from the effect of dead bodies that the water could not be used. Sickness and death prevailed throughout the city and the stench was something awful.

With these universal endowments, he has never hitherto made a full and grand exhibition of himself, as it remains for him to do. ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2581</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormon,mormon fundamentalism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>8</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Bible and the Tax Man</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-bible-and-the-tax-man--63904954</link><description><![CDATA[The Bible and the Taxman  by  Ogden Kraut  Taxes have existed since the establishment of the first government among men.

(Mosiah 1:17)  Zeniff also related the same reason for famine:  And yet, I being over-zealous to inherit the land of our fathers, collected as many as were desirous to go up to possess the land, and started again on our journey into the wilderness to go up to the land; but we were smitten with famine and sore afflictions; for we were slow to remember the Lord our God. (Mosiah 9:3)  As to the effectiveness of this reason they witnessed their deliverance:  And it came to pass that when they had humbled themselves sufficiently before the Lord, he did send rain upon the face of [9] the earth; and the people began to revive again, and there began to be fruit in the north countries, and in all the countries round about.

In fact, all five states in which the Prophet Joseph Smith lived had laws that severe opposed to that spiritual “law” that an angel with a drawn sword commanded him to live.  In 1852, the revelation on plural marriage, recorded in 1843 and later appearing as Section 132 in the Doctrine and Covenants, was read and favorably voted upon by the Saints. Ten years later, the United States passed the Morrill law against it, but the Mormons continued to practice the law of God in preference to the law of man. Another revelation in 1880 continued to sustain that principle in spite of the law of Congress. Then in 1882, the Edmunds law was passed to further harass the Mormons. But three months later the Lord gave another revelation to counter it. ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fundamentallymormon/2018/06/19/the-fundamentalist-mormon-part-two</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2018 05:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63904961/the_fundamentalist_mormon_part_two.mp3" length="40975927" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>   FUNDAMENTALIST  MORMON  Part 2 on Fundamentally Mormon                                       presented at                              The Sunstone Symposium                                   August 1989  by  Ogden Kraut     Page 8 According to...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[   FUNDAMENTALIST  MORMON  Part 2 on Fundamentally Mormon                                       presented at                              The Sunstone Symposium                                   August 1989  by  Ogden Kraut     Page 8 According to Church history, the Lord didn’t seem to be too concerned about the laws of the land against plural marriage either.

Some things which I will mention in this letter, which are lying with great weight on my mind. (D.H.C. 1:298)  Extracts from the letter that followed later became Section 85 of the Doctrine and Covenants. Two of the most pertinent verses are:  And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God;  While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning.

Two of the most pertinent verses are:  And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God;  While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning.

We, too, must pass through a Garden of Gethsemane, maybe even required to “bear a cross.” If we seek an eternal life with the Lord, we must follow in His footsteps, learning obedience to His will. Solomon, in his wisdom, said to “commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him.”  The scriptures tell us that God “knoweth what things ye have need of, even before ye ask Him;” therefore, He awaits to hear our prayers to see if we pray for these things and to see if we desire His will to be done. It is our love for Him, a desire to do His will, and the prayers we offer to His cause, which are the things God desires from us. Prayer is the way He gauges our desires and intentions. When we learn to pray for His will, and seek to do His will, then is the time God is willing to open the doors of eternity to us—to bestow upon us all the kingdoms, principalities and powers of which He is in possession.

It has been the source of inspiration and spiritual guidance for millions of people for thousands of years. The evidence of faith, courage and strength of those who have read it could never be fully told. Men have willingly faced untold agonies, torture and prison; they have crossed deserts and the Arctic, flown through space, gone beneath the sea, and struggled through every phase of life because of the inspiration they received from the Bible. The words of God, as they flowed from the pen of prophets, apostles and patriarchs, have done more for mankind than all the armies and navies that ever conquered nations.  Yet our Bible is not complete with all of the words of God to man, nor is it infallibly correct in its present translations. Many mistakes have been made by translators and scribes. Many portions were never included, while some places were not clearly understood or interpreted correctly. But worst of all, because of these misinterpretations or assumptions, Catholics have tortured and burned their Protestant brothers, and in return Protestants have religiously and enthusiastically made war upon Catholics. Rivers of blood have flowed throughout history, as Christians battled with other Christians.

It has been the source of inspiration and spiritual guidance for millions of people for thousands of years. The evidence of faith, courage and strength of those who have read it could never be fully told. Men have willingly faced untold agonies, torture and prison; they have crossed deserts and the Arctic, flown through space, gone beneath the sea, and struggled through every phase of life because of the inspiration they received from the Bible. The words of God, as they flowed from the pen of prophets, apostles and patriarchs, have done more for mankind than all the armies and navies that ever conquered nations.  Yet our Bible is not complete with all of the words of God to man, nor is it infallibly correct in its present translations. Many mistakes have been made by translators and scribes. Many portions were never included, while some places were not clearly understood or interpreted correctly. But worst of all, because of these misinterpretations or assumptions, Catholics have tortured and burned their Protestant brothers, and in return Protestants have religiously and enthusiastically made war upon Catholics. Rivers of blood have flowed throughout history, as Christians battled with other Christians. Through the misinterpretation of the Bible, thousands of innocent women and children have been murdered during the centuries of the Dark Ages and the Inquisition. Because of the misunderstanding of one word, many innocent women have been burned or killed as “witches”.

As one anti-Mormon publication stated:  Ask the Mormons to show you exactly where the errors (in the Bible) exist. (Mormonism, by “Saints Alive”, p. 2)  The purpose of this chapter, then, is to show that there definitely are Biblical errors and inconsistencies, how they occurred, and what some of them are.  * * *  Ancient prophets usually dwelled among wicked people, as the masses didn’t believe in revelation from God, in visions, or angels. Thus, the common fate of most prophets was excessive persecution and cruelty. Unbelievers sought to destroy the writings of the prophets and if possible tried to kill the prophets themselves. (Our generation has been no different.)  Too often the manuscripts of the prophets were, of necessity, hastily handed down to other believers, few in number and usually uneducated.

As one anti-Mormon publication stated:  Ask the Mormons to show you exactly where the errors (in the Bible) exist. (Mormonism, by “Saints Alive”, p. 2)  The purpose of this chapter, then, is to show that there definitely are Biblical errors and inconsistencies, how they occurred, and what some of them are.  * * *  Ancient prophets usually dwelled among wicked people, as the masses didn’t believe in revelation from God, in visions, or angels. Thus, the common fate of most prophets was excessive persecution and cruelty. Unbelievers sought to destroy the writings of the prophets and if possible tried to kill the prophets themselves. (Our generation has been no different.)  Too often the manuscripts of the prophets were, of necessity, hastily handed down to other believers, few in number and usually uneducated. Many times they had to make copies under dire circumstances and in most unfavorable conditions. Thus, the information on the copies became sporatic and erroneous. Copies of copies had to be made because of the temporary life of the materials upon which original translations had been written. It is easy to [107] understand, therefore, why after a few hundred years, the copies became dissimilar in many ways to the original writings of the prophets]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2542</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>fundamentalists,lds,mormon,mormonism</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>63</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Biblical Errors part 2 of Chapter 9 of As It is Translated Correctly</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/biblical-errors-part-2-of-chapter-9-of-as-it-is-translated-correctly--63904912</link><description><![CDATA[   Biblical Errors, Chapter 9 of As It Is Translated Correctly by Ogden Kraut.

That blood remains in a constant appeal to God for justice–and the Promise is that it will be reconciled somewhere in the eternal scales of justice.   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2382</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>fundamentalists,lds,mormon fundamentalists,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d57a861cd840488df595106128deb664.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>94</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN SCRIPTURE, Chapter 6 of Blood Atonement by Ogden Kraut.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/capital-punishment-in-scripture-chapter-6-of-blood-atonement-by-ogden-kraut--63904880</link><description><![CDATA[   CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN SCRIPTURE, Chapter 6 of B L O O D  A T O N E M E N T  by  OGDEN KRAUT     Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

I would consider it just as much my duty to do that, as to baptize a man for the remission of his sins. That is a short discourse on thieves, I acknowledge, but I tell you the truth as it is in my heart.

Brigham Young said, “the earth is a living creature and breathes as much as you and I do.” (Tchgs. of B.Y. 3:241) Like man, the earth also had a spiritual creation or birth before it became temporal or physical.  Then this sphere “fell” from the presence of God, and it, too, must follow the Gospel plan of redemption. Because of its “fallen” condition, an atonement was required to redeem the earth. According to Parley P. Pratt, this atonement for the earth was made by Jesus Christ:  Christ offered himself a sacrifice for this earth, for men, for the animals, for fishes, and the creeping things. Christ died for the earth and for the elements; Christ died for all mankind upon its face.

Brigham Young said, “the earth is a living creature and breathes as much as you and I do.” (Tchgs. of B.Y. 3:241) Like man, the earth also had a spiritual creation or birth before it became temporal or physical.  Then this sphere “fell” from the presence of God, and it, too, must follow the Gospel plan of redemption. Because of its “fallen” condition, an atonement was required to redeem the earth. According to Parley P. Pratt, this atonement for the earth was made by Jesus Christ:  Christ offered himself a sacrifice for this earth, for men, for the animals, for fishes, and the creeping things. Christ died for the earth and for the elements; Christ died for all mankind upon its face.

In the pre-mortal life, man was given his free agency to choose good or evil, to learn or to be idle. The plan of salvation was taught and knowledge of his station in mortality was revealed. Many spirits made certain covenants and promises, and some were selected (foreordained) to perform a certain mission on earth.     Bruce R.

The spiritual gifts and endowments which God had blessed him with became so abundantly manifest that thousands flocked to hear and see this latter-day prophet. On one occasion in England, crowds of people greeted him with flowers, songs, and offerings of kindness. The Apostle Orson F. Whitney commented on this occasion by making a parallel in the life of the Savior:  A rare scene, indeed, and a suggestive one, for the parallel of which the mind must leap backward nigh two thousand years:  “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.  “The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.”   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>7201</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormon church,mormon fundamentalists,mormonism</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>146</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CONCLUSION of Jesus was Married, Pages 100-103 Chapter 9.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/conclusion-of-jesus-was-married-pages-100-103-chapter-9--63904274</link><description><![CDATA[CONCLUSION of Jesus was Married, Pages 100-103 Chapter 9.      There is a divine law of marriage ordained and commanded by God, and Jesus came to fulfill that “law”.

The revelations teach that God’s “elect” will gather and leave the wicked to be “burned.” The true Saints of God will gather, and the true servants of God will encourage it; and they will thus fulfill the prophecies of all the ancient prophets.

Kimball, J.D. 9:52)  The Prophet Joseph Smith added his testimony to that of all the other prophets:  In addition to all temporal blessings, there is no other way for the Saints to be saved in these last days, (than by the gathering), as the concurrent testimony of all the holy prophets clearly proves, for it is written–“They shall come from the east, and be gathered from the west; the north shall give up, and the south shall keep not back.” “The sons of God shall be gathered from far, and his daughters from the ends of the earth.”   www.Youtube.com/user/GodismyCompass  www.FundamentallyMormon.co]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>8605</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormon,mormon fundamentalists,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>154</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE PERPETUAL EMIGRATION FUND, Pages 69-74 of Ch 7 of The Gathering of Israel</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-perpetual-emigration-fund-pages-69-74-of-ch-7-of-the-gathering-of-israel--63904207</link><description><![CDATA[THE PERPETUAL EMIGRATION FUND, Pages 69-74 of Chapter 7 of The Gathering of Israel by Ogden Kraut      Our President said he would be glad to have some six discourses, each six hours long, preached to the people upon the subject of doing their duty unto others in regard to this Fund.

(I Nephi 8:23)  Attempting to locate the ten lost tribes of Israel has become one of the most controversial ecclesiastical mysteries of the latter days. It is astounding that there are so many varied and seemingly authoritative stories pertaining to their whereabouts. It would be easier to avoid the issue and just neglect the subject altogether.

(I Nephi 8:23)  Attempting to locate the ten lost tribes of Israel has become one of the most controversial ecclesiastical mysteries of the latter days. It is astounding that there are so many varied and seemingly authoritative stories pertaining to their whereabouts. It would be easier to avoid the issue and just neglect the subject altogether. However, the gathering of Israel includes the gathering of the ten tribes; therefore, it is necessary to briefly review these various theories concerning the location and the eventual gathering of these tribes.

Indeed we say that the true Church of Jesus Christ must have those gifts to be the true church.We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. (7th Article of Faith)Many spiritual gifts were given to the ancient prophets, apostles and righteous saints.

The Prophet Joseph Smith once said:  There are but a very few beings in the world who understand rightly the character of God (TPJS, p. 343)  And again-  The things of God are of deep import; and time and experience and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out. (TPJS, p. 137)  We never can comprehend the things of God and of heaven, but by revelation. We may spiritualize and express opinions to all eternity; but that is no authority. (TPJS, p. 292)  I want to ask this congregation, every man, woman and child, to answer the question in their own hearts, what kind of a being God is? Ask yourselves; turn your thoughts into your hearts, and say if any of you have seen, heard, or communed with Him? This is a question that may occupy your attention for a long time.

Howbeit we know this man whence he is; but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. (John 7:26-27)  In 1963 the Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church took a vote on the question, “Who was responsible for the crucifixion of Christ.” After some consideration, they called for a vote and substantiated the fact that it was the Jews who were responsible for His death.  Then a year later, in 1964, for some peculiar reason, the subject was again brought up for a vote. This time the Ecumenical Council voted for the position that “all mankind” were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. Why did the opinion of the Roman Church reverse itself in one year? This verifies the fact that church doctrine is often changed due to manhandling and public pressure–even on such important issues as who is responsible for the death of Christ.  It has been stated that Christ’s crucifixion on the cross has become the most well-known event that ever took place.

Howbeit we know this man whence he is; but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. (John 7:26-27)  In 1963 the Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church took a vote on the question, “Who was responsible for the crucifixion of Christ.” After some consideration, they called for a vote and substantiated the fact that it was the Jews who were responsible for His death.  Then a year later, in 1964, for some peculiar reason, the subject was again brought up for a vote. This time the Ecumenical Council voted for the position that “all mankind” were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. Why did the opinion of the Roman Church reverse itself in one year? This verifies the fact that church doctrine is often changed due to manhandling and public pressure–even on such important issues as who is responsible for the death of Christ.  It has been stated that Christ’s crucifixion on the cross has become the most well-known event that ever took place. So claim the best Biblical scholars:  Cross — No word has become more universally known than this, because the history of the world since the death of Christ has been decisively shaped by that epoch-making event. The principle content of the [13] Christian religion is symbolized in this one word.

They were determined to be “of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.” (Acts 6:3) And “Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.” (6:8)  Stephen became involved in a dispute between members of the Greek “Hellenists” and the “Hebrews” of the Palestinian Jewish Christians. He proposed that the Jews should consider the teachings and ordinances of Christ more important than many of the existing temple rituals, and said that the Mosaic law was being fulfilled. But the higher principles and practices of Christ created more opposition than agreement.   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5055</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>215</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE BOOK OF MORMON ALSO TESTIFIES, Chapter 9 of Who Crucified Christ</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-book-of-mormon-also-testifies-chapter-9-of-who-crucified-christ--63904184</link><description><![CDATA[Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another?

The Apostle James declared that “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?” “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 2:14; 1:8; 1:22)     These Jews claimed they were the children of “Abraham,” they sat in “Moses’ seat,” they were the leaders of the “chosen” people, they could do no wrong, and they claimed the right faith. However, they failed to exemplify the good works to accompany all their claims.  Though they claimed to be righteous, Jesus said of them:  Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. (Matt. 21:31-32)]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6514</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/2977d8dc1de3f01f3b016ba847c2173e.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>222</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CONTINUING CONSPIRACIES, Chapter 15 of Who Crucified Christ by Ogden Kraut</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/continuing-conspiracies-chapter-15-of-who-crucified-christ-by-ogden-kraut--63904230</link><description><![CDATA[CONTINUING CONSPIRACIES, Chapter 15 of Who Crucified Christ by Ogden Kraut   Page 133   And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Satan caused real chaos in heaven. mHe caused desertion, wrecked the educational classes, taught false doctrine, and made war. Why did God tolerate it? Why didn’t He nip it in the bud? In the scriptures we read that Jesus had much less tolerance for a little tree:  Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. and presently the fig tree withered away. (Matt. 21:18-19)  At least the poor little tree had some green leaves, but it was cursed anyway. Why then did God spare Satan who didn’t even have so much as a green leaf in his favor?  There were many good reasons why God did not interfere with Lucifer: First, God allowed him his free agency. Second, Lucifer could prove for himself what he wanted to be. And [56] third, it provided everyone with a choice so each could be what he wanted to be.  The reason war was allowed in heaven is because it provided a choice of the two opposites–even many ramifications in between. It allowed some to be valiant and others to be cowards; to be indifferent or to be traitors, or to just follow along with the crowd. It has been said that no other force can change people, their attitude and even their nation like war–and so it was in that world.

In the scriptures we read that Jesus had much less tolerance for a little tree:  Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. and presently the fig tree withered away. (Matt. 21:18-19)  At least the poor little tree had some green leaves, but it was cursed anyway. Why then did God spare Satan who didn’t even have so much as a green leaf in his favor?  There were many good reasons why God did not interfere with Lucifer: First, God allowed him his free agency. Second, Lucifer could prove for himself what he wanted to be. And [56] third, it provided everyone with a choice so each could be what he wanted to be.  The reason war was allowed in heaven is because it provided a choice of the two opposites–even many ramifications in between. It allowed some to be valiant and others to be cowards; to be indifferent or to be traitors, or to just follow along with the crowd. It has been said that no other force can change people, their attitude and even their nation like war–and so it was in that world.

didst bear their tabernacles in mortality) while eternity goeth and eternity cometh; and if thou wilt receive it, lady, this is eternal life. (John Taylor, “Origin and Destiny of Women,” as quoted in Marriage Covenant, Kraut, p. 25)  Continuing along the lines of the previous chapter on representation, women are often considered as representatives of many wonderful attributes: love, kindness, emotion, caring, mercy, creation, life, endurance, and jewels in a man’s crown. The scriptures speak of the Zion of the Lord and the New Jerusalem as being like the bride of Christ. (See Rev. 18:23, 21:2.)  The role and duties of women in the pre-mortal world is much different from that of the men. It is quite similar to wars on earth when men to go battle and the women usually remain at home. Very few women get involved with war in mortality, and they didn’t over there either. Once again let’s refer to Mosiah Hancock’s vision for an explanation:  . . . one third of the males and females would not accept of either star, but withdrew from the conflict, the females taking the males by the arm, said, “Come, let us not take part with either side. Let us retire.” [92] (When they were cast out after the manner of spiritual warfare,) they had no power to return.

The scriptures speak of the Zion of the Lord and the New Jerusalem as being like the bride of Christ. (See Rev. 18:23, 21:2.)  The role and duties of women in the pre-mortal world is much different from that of the men. It is quite similar to wars on earth when men to go battle and the women usually remain at home. Very few women get involved with war in mortality, and they didn’t over there either. Once again let’s refer to Mosiah Hancock’s vision for an explanation:  . . . one third of the males and females would not accept of either star, but withdrew from the conflict, the females taking the males by the arm, said, “Come, let us not take part with either side. Let us retire.” [92] (When they were cast out after the manner of spiritual warfare,) they had no power to return. When they were all cleared from the platform and Satan and his followers were all cast down, their female companions wept, and we all wept.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5708</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/2977d8dc1de3f01f3b016ba847c2173e.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>252</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Kevin Kraut and friends Cottage meeting for  April 5th 2020</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/kevin-kraut-and-friends-cottage-meeting-for-april-5th-2020--63904283</link><description><![CDATA[Kevin Kraut and friends Cottage meeting for  April 5th 2020]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fundamentallymormon/2020/04/06/kevin-kraut-and-friends-cottage-meeting-for-april-5th-2020</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63904283/kevin_kraut_and_friends_cottage_meeting_for_april_5th_2020.mp3" length="139542405" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Kevin Kraut and friends Cottage meeting for  April 5th 2020</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Kevin Kraut and friends Cottage meeting for  April 5th 2020]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>8722</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>253</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>HOW TO DESTROY A KINGDOM, Chapter 11 of Kingdom of God volume 1.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-to-destroy-a-kingdom-chapter-11-of-kingdom-of-god-volume-1--63904171</link><description><![CDATA[  HOW TO DESTROY A KINGDOM, Chapter 11 of Kingdom of God volume 1.     Pages 107-121  And whoso is not willing to lay down his life for my sake is not my disciple.

And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And Cain loved Satan more than God. (Gen. 5:5-6, Insp. Trans.)  The recorded story of Cain is a short one, but the story of Abel is even shorter.

(1 Tim. 6:15)  The title of “king” had its origin near the beginning of our mortal earth. Those holding such a title usually claimed it was a divine calling, with the right to govern in both civil and religious matters.  Most pharaohs possessed a long title or throne name which included some mention of deity. Epithets of many sovereigns of Mesopotamia also carried names of deities. Even in Imperial Rome the grandest title of the Caesars was Pontifex Maximus. Victory over their enemies was always attributed to the divine favor of their god. All of these civilizations were acquainted with offerings and sacrifices to their deity.  In ancient Israel we can also see how those holding this kingly office were recognized and appointed through divine approval.

The King of Kings, Chapter 1 of Kingdom of God Volume 2     pages 7-11     . . . in his times he shall show who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. (1 Tim. 6:15)  The title of “king” had its origin near the beginning of our mortal earth. Those holding such a title usually claimed it was a divine calling, with the right to govern in both civil and religious matters.  Most pharaohs possessed a long title or throne name which included some mention of deity. Epithets of many sovereigns of Mesopotamia also carried names of deities. Even in Imperial Rome the grandest title of the Caesars was Pontifex Maximus. Victory over their enemies was always attributed to the divine favor of their god. All of these civilizations were acquainted with offerings and sacrifices to their deity.  In ancient Israel we can also see how those holding this kingly office were recognized and appointed through divine approval. For example, the Prophet Samuel made the selection and anointed Saul as the first king in Israel.

I look upon him as another character entirely, and from information that we can gather from revelations that have been referred to, we find that there was something very peculiar about him. We read his history and we find that he was a man that sought after righteousness, that he desired to obtain more righteousness, that he examined the records of his fathers, that he found in [25] examining the records, tracing them back through the flood, clear away back unto Adam’s day, he found many circumstances that were connected with man-kind, not only to Adam’s day, but before the world was.

(Joseph Smith, TPJS, p. 253)     God has made many attempts to prepare His children to enter into His presence, both in mortality and immortality. He could accomplish this only by giving them guidelines in the form of principles, ordinances and laws. The Prophet Joseph Smith commented: Here, then, we have this part of our subject immediately before us for consideration: God has in reserve a time, or period appointed in His own bosom, when He will bring all His subjects, who have obeyed His voice and kept His commandments, into His celestial rest. This rest is of such perfection and glory, that man has need of a preparation before he can, according to the laws of that kingdom, enter it and enjoy its blessings. This being the fact, God has given certain laws to the human family, which, if observed, are sufficient to prepare them to inherit this rest. This, then, we conclude, was the purpose of God in giving His laws to us: if not, why, or for what were they given? (TPJS, p. 54)     As we previously remarked, all well established and properly organized governments have certain fixed and prominent laws for the regulation and management of the same.

(Joseph Smith, TPJS, p. 253)     God has made many attempts to prepare His children to enter into His presence, both in mortality and immortality. He could accomplish this only by giving them guidelines in the form of principles, ordinances and laws. The Prophet Joseph Smith commented: Here, then, we have this part of our subject immediately before us for consideration: God has in reserve a time, or period appointed in His own bosom, when He will bring all His subjects, who have obeyed His voice and kept His commandments, into His celestial rest. This rest is of such perfection and glory, that man has need of a preparation before he can, according to the laws of that kingdom, enter it and enjoy its blessings. This being the fact, God has given certain laws to the human family, which, if observed, are sufficient to prepare them to inherit this rest. This, then, we conclude, was the purpose of God in giving His laws to us: if not, why, or for what were they given? (TPJS, p. 54)     As we previously remarked, all well established and properly organized governments have certain fixed and prominent laws for the regulation and management of the same. If man has grown to wisdom and is [98] capable of discerning the propriety of laws to govern nations, what less can be expected from the Ruler and Upholder of the universe? Can we suppose that He has a kingdom without laws?

(Matt. 4:17)   For several hundred years the great prophets had foretold the coming of the Promised Messiah. The children of Israel sang about Him, mentioned Him in their scriptures, wrote His name on their door posts, included Him in their eating habits, and centered their traditions and customs around Him. His coming was anticipated by the more righteous Israelites as the greatest event in the world.   The scriptures indicate He was known by many names. In Bruce R. McConkie’s Mormon Doctrine, over 200 names are listed. (See page 127.) His coming was certainly more than just a personal appearance. What great message did He bring? What good news did He tell the Jews? He had more to say than just to keep following their Levitical laws and customs.   At the beginning of His ministry, the Messiah went up on the mountain and delivered what has since been called “the greatest sermon ever.” (See Matt. 5 to 7.)

(Matt. 4:17)   For several hundred years the great prophets had foretold the coming of the Promised Messiah. The children of Israel sang about Him, mentioned Him in their scriptures, wrote His name on their door posts, included Him in their eating habits, and centered their traditions and customs around Him. His coming was anticipated by the more righteous Israelites as the greatest event in the world.   The scriptures indicate He was known by many names. In Bruce R. McConkie’s Mormon Doctrine, over 200 names are listed. (See page 127.) His coming was certainly more than just a personal appearance. What great message did He bring? What good news did He tell the Jews? He had more to say than just to keep following their Levitical laws and customs.   At the beginning of His ministry, the Messiah went up on the mountain and delivered what has since been called “the greatest sermon ever.” (See Matt. 5 to 7.) How interesting that in that Sermon on the Mount He mentioned God’s Kingdom about ten times. That “Kingdom” seemed to be one of the focal points for the whole sermon, which was emphasized when he instructed, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.” (Matt. 6:33)  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=139]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>10208</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>294</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE GOSPEL, THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM, Chapter 20 of Kingdom of God volume 2</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-gospel-the-church-and-the-kingdom-chapter-20-of-kingdom-of-god-volume-2--63904134</link><description><![CDATA[ THE GOSPEL, THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM, Chapter 20 of Kingdom of God volume 2  Page 150-157  This Gospel, this kingdom, this Church, and this people, are the pride of my heart; I have no pride in anything else.

I know that every man and woman, every nation and king that oppose it, will wither like a limb that is severed from a tree. (Heber C.

(Joseph Smith, TPJS, p. 231)     The final clash between the two great kingdoms is imminent. At present, however, they are very unequal in power. The great powers displayed by contemporary Babylon are fulfilling the desires of every conqueror and tyrant. The kingdoms of the world possess all the economic, military, and legal powers they desire. Combined together there is very little that stands in the way of this “super-power” and its “super-government.”     By contrast, the Kingdom of God has become less and less powerful.

The time in which we live has been clearly portrayed in the scrolls of every ancient prophet.

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. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Eph. 6:11-13) In this conflict, truth becomes mightier than a sword, exposing evil more powerful than guns, and a life of dignity more highly prized than a conquering army.

He said he wrote 30 years ago that this country would see race riots, blackouts, demoralizing of youth, snipers and life with unfirm foundations.“These are planned riots,” he said. “They will not stop but grow greater.” He looks soon for 70 simultaneous riots, and this is the signal for a takeover of the nation. "Anarchism is raging the streets of America,” he said. “It is not the local Negroes rioting, but a well-trained army of Negroes, students, liberal clergymen” who are seemingly bent on moving into every community.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>9222</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>american revolution,lds,mormon,mormonism,revolution</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>336</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>DEFINITION OF PRIESTHOOD, Chapter 1 of Holy Priesthood Vol. 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/definition-of-priesthood-chapter-1-of-holy-priesthood-vol-1--63904139</link><description><![CDATA[DEFINITION OF PRIESTHOOD  Many different descriptions have been given of the Priesthood, but still we have only a limited understanding of it.

Joseph Smith once declared that “One hour of virtuous liberty is worth a whole eternity of bondage.” (DHC 6:225)]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5329</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>346</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>GIFTS AND PROMISES OF THE PRIESTHOOD P1 of CH5 of Holy Priesthood Volume 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/gifts-and-promises-of-the-priesthood-p1-of-ch5-of-holy-priesthood-volume-1--63904138</link><description><![CDATA[GIFTS AND PROMISES OF THE PRIESTHOOD P1 of CH5 of Holy Priesthood Volume 1  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=120  We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. (7th Article of Faith)  Importance of Spiritual Gifts  There is a particular reason and purpose for everything in creation.

(Eccles. 2:5)     The worst forms of persecution seem to be the result of religious fanatics against other religious people–bringing judgment against the wicked, and purification and glory to the innocent. These sufferings prove to be a great benefit for the saints, since it is by trial that souls are purified and perfected.  When we come to look at the works of God, and witness the manifestation of His power, we see that everything that is excellent, everything that is desirable, comes forth from the midst of much tribulation. Even the jewels of the earth, and the riches thereof–the minerals, the gold and silver for which men thirst, and for which they have been willing to sacrifice life–are brought forth out of what seems to us the agonies of nature.

(Eccles. 2:5)     The worst forms of persecution seem to be the result of religious fanatics against other religious people–bringing judgment against the wicked, and purification and glory to the innocent. These sufferings prove to be a great benefit for the saints, since it is by trial that souls are purified and perfected.  When we come to look at the works of God, and witness the manifestation of His power, we see that everything that is excellent, everything that is desirable, comes forth from the midst of much tribulation. Even the jewels of the earth, and the riches thereof–the minerals, the gold and silver for which men thirst, and for which they have been willing to sacrifice life–are brought forth out of what seems to us the agonies of nature. And so in regard to violent deaths such as our brethren have suffered. In passing through such a trial bravely, faithfully, and truly, they have become jewels in the hands of God, and will continue to progress throughout the endless ages of eternity. (George Q. Cannon, JD 25:280-81)  Another reason the Lord allows tests and persecutions to come to those who bear the Priesthood is because it prevents the dross from joining the ranks of the faithful.

Today a college education is almost a necessity to gain a respectable place in the business world.  Most of the functions of society, including religions, were conducted in a disorganized and risky manner. Unfortunately the method of ordinations to the Priesthood fell under this haphazard and inconsistent way of doing things, especially when it has been admitted that no “form” was available.  In those early days of the Church, many rough and tough farmers and cowhands, unlearned and unschooled, were given the call to preach, teach and ordain. Often their unorthodox expressions in conversation and in their church work were with “good intention,” but may not have been commensurate with the proper procedures in the administration of the Priesthood.

Today a college education is almost a necessity to gain a respectable place in the business world.  Most of the functions of society, including religions, were conducted in a disorganized and risky manner. Unfortunately the method of ordinations to the Priesthood fell under this haphazard and inconsistent way of doing things, especially when it has been admitted that no “form” was available.  In those early days of the Church, many rough and tough farmers and cowhands, unlearned and unschooled, were given the call to preach, teach and ordain. Often their unorthodox expressions in conversation and in their church work were with “good intention,” but may not have been commensurate with the proper procedures in the administration of the Priesthood. Perhaps this casual choice of expression has caused a penalty in the use of the Priesthood.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4121</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>361</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CONCLUSION, Chapter 8 of Holy Priesthood Volume 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/conclusion-chapter-8-of-holy-priesthood-volume-1--63904104</link><description><![CDATA[   CONCLUSION, Chapter 8 of Holy Priesthood Volume 1 and Introduction to Holy Priesthood Volume   Holy Priesthood Volume 1http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=120  Holy Priesthood Volume 2 http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=122  The Holy Priesthood is a special privilege and power given to only a few, and it is circumscribed with specific bounds and conditions upon which it can be exercised.

What a great blessing to have a “family unit to continue everlastingly!” What sacrifice or service would a man be willing to offer to receive such a blessing? The Lord does place a price on blessings, and this one is no exception.  For a man to just go into a temple and have his wife sealed to him is not enough to assure their eternal marriage.

What a great blessing to have a “family unit to continue everlastingly!” What sacrifice or service would a man be willing to offer to receive such a blessing? The Lord does place a price on blessings, and this one is no exception.  For a man to just go into a temple and have his wife sealed to him is not enough to assure their eternal marriage. It is only part of that requirement. He is instructed in the ceremony itself to continue in righteousness in order to receive that blessing:  . . . the President, then, proceeds to ask the following question of the man: “Do you, brother (calling him by name), take sister (calling the bride by her name), by the right hand to receive her unto yourself to be your lawful and wedded wife, and you to be her lawful and wedded husband for time and for all eternity, with a covenant and promise, on your part, that you will fulfill all the laws, rites, and ordinances, pertaining to this holy matrimony, in the new and everlasting covenant, doing this in the presence of God, angels, and these witnesses of your own free will and choice?

Eternal life and everlasting life, according to the definitions by dictionaries and churches of the world, mean the same thing and are used interchangeably.

The Apostle Paul said, “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

And, John saw “nations of them which are saved.” (Rev. 21:24) But just being saved to an everlasting life is different from an eternal life.  Notice how easy it is to be saved because of the promise that “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have [67] everlasting life.” (John 3:16) But then another time Jesus said, “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt. 7:14) Here He was speaking of eternal life, which would apply to only a few, whereas nations of people will be saved to an everlasting life.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fundamentallymormon/2021/02/17/gaining-eternal-life-chapter-8-of-holy-priesthood-volume-2</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Feb 2021 22:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63903682/gaining_eternal_life_chapter_8_of_holy_priesthood_volume_2.mp3" length="119317778" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>   GAINING ETERNAL LIFE,  Chapter 8 of Holy Priesthood Volume 2  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=30  We have power, through the priesthood, to gain eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God.

And if it does rain, I'll preach this doctrine, for the truth shall be preached.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6826</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>joseph smith,lds,mormonism,mormons,multiple mortal probations</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>376</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CONCLUSION, Part 2 of the Holy Priesthood Volume 2</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/conclusion-part-2-of-the-holy-priesthood-volume-2--63903663</link><description><![CDATA[CONCLUSION, Part 2 of the Holy Priesthood Volume 2     Priesthood laws can be abused, misused, opposed or forsaken by people, but in reality the laws themselves do not change.

The energy, power and usefulness of electricity results from the combination of both the negative and the positive wires. Scissors are useless without both halves. So must men and women be spiritually united to receive the fullness of Priesthood blessings and promises.  The instruction to “be one flesh” was given to mankind at the beginning of this world:  And Adam said, This I know now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. (Gen. 2:29-30, I.V.)  It should be understood that being one in flesh has to do with the physical union–and does not mean necessarily one in spirit, purpose or principle, although that is certainly the ideal.

The energy, power and usefulness of electricity results from the combination of both the negative and the positive wires. Scissors are useless without both halves. So must men and women be spiritually united to receive the fullness of Priesthood blessings and promises.  The instruction to “be one flesh” was given to mankind at the beginning of this world:  And Adam said, This I know now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. (Gen. 2:29-30, I.V.)  It should be understood that being one in flesh has to do with the physical union–and does not mean necessarily one in spirit, purpose or principle, although that is certainly the ideal. Paul explained to the Corinthians:  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  [132]  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Many of the Jews that He associated with either talked about it or were living it. How could these learned Biblical scholars teach about the ancient prophets without bringing up the subject of their many wives?

Religions wanted control over governments, and governments tried to get control over religions. Unfortunately, God usually had little to do with either. Their laws and the laws of God were frequently in conflict.     A few souls attempted to get out from under such secular and ecclesiastical bondage and sought for a new land and new freedom.

Religions wanted control over governments, and governments tried to get control over religions. Unfortunately, God usually had little to do with either. Their laws and the laws of God were frequently in conflict.     A few souls attempted to get out from under such secular and ecclesiastical bondage and sought for a new land and new freedom. They called the new country America–a place where good men and women could accept God’s laws as their laws.

(Spencer W. Kimball, Conf. Rept., Apr. 1976, p. 7)  A schism has developed within the Church–not so much among the members as among its leaders–past and present. The contemporary leaders seem to have little difficulty in rationalizing their current position even though it contradicts that of the inspired early leaders. But many members are asking questions, such as, “How can some leaders teach one thing and other leaders something just the opposite, and both be right?” Like the changing of seasons, the Church seems to take on different appearances with the passing of time. As Mormons, it is easy for us to see that there is something wrong with the following conflict: John the Baptist baptized people by immersion in the River Jordan; others have come along since then, also claiming to be prophets, saying we can now baptize by sprinkling, pouring, or not at all. It is evident that they both cannot be true prophets. It is more difficult, however, for Mormons to recognize and admit that similar changes have occurred within the LDS Church in the last century. (See 95 Theses by the same author.) We should ask ourselves: Would the Lord give two different and conflicting practices for any Gospel ordinance?Should any eternal ordinance, principle, or doctrine by changed, substituted or rejected?Has the Lord ever revoked any of His laws except in the case of the unworthiness of the people?When there is a conflict in doctrinal teaching, does it mean that mankind can be saved or exalted based on different laws, principles, and ordinances?If one prophet is teaching vastly different from another, doesn’t it mean that one of them is wrong?]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fundamentallymormon/2021/06/04/the-conflict-between-dead-and-living-prophets-chap-8-of-holy-priesthood-vol-5</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jun 2021 12:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63903611/the_conflict_between_dead_and_living_prophets_chap_8_of_holy_priesthood_vol_5.mp3" length="58133421" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Red Bearded Mormon</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>   It would be a poor lighthouse that gave off a different signal to guide every ship entering a harbor.

(Spencer W. Kimball, Conf. Rept., Apr. 1976, p. 7)  A schism has developed within the Church–not so much among the members as among its leaders–past and present. The contemporary leaders seem to have little difficulty in rationalizing their current position even though it contradicts that of the inspired early leaders. But many members are asking questions, such as, “How can some leaders teach one thing and other leaders something just the opposite, and both be right?” Like the changing of seasons, the Church seems to take on different appearances with the passing of time. As Mormons, it is easy for us to see that there is something wrong with the following conflict: John the Baptist baptized people by immersion in the River Jordan; others have come along since then, also claiming to be prophets, saying we can now baptize by sprinkling, pouring, or not at all. It is evident that they both cannot be true prophets. It is more difficult, however, for Mormons to recognize and admit that similar changes have occurred within the LDS Church in the last century. (See 95 Theses by the same author.) We should ask ourselves: Would the Lord give two different and conflicting practices for any Gospel ordinance?Should any eternal ordinance, principle, or doctrine by changed, substituted or rejected?Has the Lord ever revoked any of His laws except in the case of the unworthiness of the people?When there is a conflict in doctrinal teaching, does it mean that mankind can be saved or exalted based on different laws, principles, and ordinances?If one prophet is teaching vastly different from another, doesn’t it mean that one of them is wrong?]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>7267</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>436</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND REVELATION, Part 1 of Ch9 of Holy Priesthood Vol 5</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-gift-of-prophecy-and-revelation-part-1-of-ch9-of-holy-priesthood-vol-5--63903630</link><description><![CDATA[THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND REVELATION, Ch9 of Holy Priesthood Vol 5       Pages 101 to 116  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=30  Now it was the custom among all the Nephites to appoint for their chief captains, . . . some one that had the spirit of revelation and also prophecy; . . .

He saw where those who were supposed to be leading the race were headed, and He knew that that was not the path that the Judge had set for the race. So He stopped, took note of the roads, and headed off in another direction. Since he was the Leader in this new direction, the leaders that [127] were going in the other direction became very angry that He should do such a thing.

Smith was a prophet of God?” “Yes, sir.” Then came the “sixty-four dollar question.” “Do you believe that Heber J. Grant is a prophet of God?” His answer: “I think he ought to keep his mouth shut about old age assistance.”Now I tell you that a man in his position is on the way to apostasy. He is forfeiting his chances for eternal life. So is everyone who cannot follow the living prophet of God. (Conf.

(Matt. 6:21)  Those seeking for a treasure spend time, effort, and means in order to secure that which is of great worth to them. To one person something may be a real treasure while it is only insignificant to another because their values are different. The old adage is true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”  Jesus gave the following two examples of the value that we should place on the kingdom of heaven:  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

(Matt. 6:21)  Those seeking for a treasure spend time, effort, and means in order to secure that which is of great worth to them. To one person something may be a real treasure while it is only insignificant to another because their values are different. The old adage is true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”  Jesus gave the following two examples of the value that we should place on the kingdom of heaven:  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

(Ecc. 5:10)  If you had been a male born an Assyrian 1500 years before Christ, you probably would have been raised as a soldier for the rest of your life. You never would have learned a trade or owned a business. If you had been born in Egypt in the height of its glory, you would probably have been raised in the rock quarries, the mines, or as a farm slave, and would have lived in a mud hut. The Pharaoh would have accumulated any excess profits, for he had assumed the position of a god, and you never would own a piece of ground. If you had lived in Athens, you would have been a slave to a huge bureaucratic group who exploited the masses by robbing them of their wealth and liberties. Being born in the Roman Empire would have offered you little more. The emperors were corrupt dictators, extracting money from the citizens by numerous and unreasonable taxes.

(Ecc. 5:10)  If you had been a male born an Assyrian 1500 years before Christ, you probably would have been raised as a soldier for the rest of your life. You never would have learned a trade or owned a business. If you had been born in Egypt in the height of its glory, you would probably have been raised in the rock quarries, the mines, or as a farm slave, and would have lived in a mud hut. The Pharaoh would have accumulated any excess profits, for he had assumed the position of a god, and you never would own a piece of ground. If you had lived in Athens, you would have been a slave to a huge bureaucratic group who exploited the masses by robbing them of their wealth and liberties. Being born in the Roman Empire would have offered you little more. The emperors were corrupt dictators, extracting money from the citizens by numerous and unreasonable taxes.

It will. Do we know how? Yes, what was lacking in these revelations from Joseph to enable us to do so was revealed to me. (Brigham Young, J.D. 11:326) Some of the members of the Church were given revelations and manifestations to convince them of importance of the law of United Order. For them this principle was of divine origin and they had a religious conviction that it was true. Others were touched by the spirit of it when they heard it and received a testimony that it was to be obeyed. For example, Charles Walker described his convictions when he heard of its announcement: Sunday, Feb. 15, 1874: Went to meeting all day. Bro. Brigham spoke in a powerful manner with a spirit that went to the hearts of the people, saying that the time had come for this people to enter into the order of Enoch. He said the Lord said come, the spirit said come, and said (meaning the first presidency) we say come, and let us enter into the united order and devote our labor, time, talent, means, strength and abilities to the building up of the Zion of our God. Said if we would enter into it, we should have wealth and union and the blessings of the Most High would attend us. If we would not receive it, we should bring curses upon ourselves and the sin would lie at our own doors. He said that now was the time, not tomorrow, next year, but right now, today. He then called for a show of hands of those who were willing to enter the order to be controlled temporally in all things to the building up of Zion. The vote of hands was unanimous with very few exceptions, at least I saw no contrary vote and after meeting I authorized H. Erving, the Clerk, to put my name down as willing to join the order.

It will. Do we know how? Yes, what was lacking in these revelations from Joseph to enable us to do so was revealed to me. (Brigham Young, J.D. 11:326) Some of the members of the Church were given revelations and manifestations to convince them of importance of the law of United Order. For them this principle was of divine origin and they had a religious conviction that it was true. Others were touched by the spirit of it when they heard it and received a testimony that it was to be obeyed. For example, Charles Walker described his convictions when he heard of its announcement: Sunday, Feb. 15, 1874: Went to meeting all day. Bro. Brigham spoke in a powerful manner with a spirit that went to the hearts of the people, saying that the time had come for this people to enter into the order of Enoch. He said the Lord said come, the spirit said come, and said (meaning the first presidency) we say come, and let us enter into the united order and devote our labor, time, talent, means, strength and abilities to the building up of the Zion of our God. Said if we would enter into it, we should have wealth and union and the blessings of the Most High would attend us. If we would not receive it, we should bring curses upon ourselves and the sin would lie at our own doors. He said that now was the time, not tomorrow, next year, but right now, today. He then called for a show of hands of those who were willing to enter the order to be controlled temporally in all things to the building up of Zion. The vote of hands was unanimous with very few exceptions, at least I saw no contrary vote and after meeting I authorized H. Erving, the Clerk, to put my name down as willing to join the order.

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. (Isa. 24:5-6)   Two principal sins are related to wealth–the love of money (1 Tim.6:10) and the inequality of riches (D. &amp; C. 49:20). For the past 150 years the Saints have been guilty of both evils. The question now arises what happened to cause this failure. Orson Pratt contended that the Saints were guilty of these sins over a century ago:  Anything short of a perfect equality in temporal things is a sin; hence, the Lord says, “It is not given that one man should possess that which is above another, wherefore, the world lieth in sin.” Is this law now enforced upon the Saints?

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. (Isa. 24:5-6)   Two principal sins are related to wealth–the love of money (1 Tim.6:10) and the inequality of riches (D. &amp; C. 49:20). For the past 150 years the Saints have been guilty of both evils. The question now arises what happened to cause this failure. Orson Pratt contended that the Saints were guilty of these sins over a century ago:  Anything short of a perfect equality in temporal things is a sin; hence, the Lord says, “It is not given that one man should possess that which is above another, wherefore, the world lieth in sin.” Is this law now enforced upon the Saints? Do they have all things in common? Do they all possess the same? No; they have not become righteous enough to obey this law. Covetousness has taken such deep root in their hearts, through the wicked tradition of their Gentile fathers, that this law remains unheeded. (The Seer, O.

Is it possible that Jesus would sustain the life of that great prophet, but not the laws and principles that made him great? Throughout the ministry of Jesus and His disciples there is not one word of denunciation against the principle of marriage or plural marriage. Certainly they were aware of such scriptures in the Old Testament as, “If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.” (Exodus 21:10) Yet He made no change in these instructions. Rather he advocated men to “do the works of Abraham” to be worthy of being Abraham’s seed.

Is it possible that Jesus would sustain the life of that great prophet, but not the laws and principles that made him great? Throughout the ministry of Jesus and His disciples there is not one word of denunciation against the principle of marriage or plural marriage. Certainly they were aware of such scriptures in the Old Testament as, “If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.” (Exodus 21:10) Yet He made no change in these instructions. Rather he advocated men to “do the works of Abraham” to be worthy of being Abraham’s seed.  It is not presumptuous to assume that Jesus had lived plural marriage—it had always been a law among the prophets of Israel. Jesus was to obey those laws—not to destroy them—but to show mankind how to live a fullness of all of the laws of God and the Gospel.

The word itself strikes like a thunderbolt! Our modern society has divested its thinking and morals so far from this ancient practice, that this type of marriage is commonly thought to be sinful or unlawful. Yet, in Biblical times, polygamy was considered a part of the marriage union. For thousands of years it was taught and lived by many of the ancient prophets and patriarchs. Simply said, God and the Bible approved of polygamy.

Our modern society has divested its thinking and morals so far from this ancient practice, that this type of marriage is commonly thought to be sinful or unlawful. Yet, in Biblical times, polygamy was considered a part of the marriage union. For thousands of years it was taught and lived by many of the ancient prophets and patriarchs. Simply said, God and the Bible approved of polygamy.  However, today most ministers and theologians either avoid or cover up this God-approved marriage principle. lt is difficult to understand why so many of the modern priestcrafters take such devious methods to throw a veil over this Bible doctrine. And it is for this reason that our contemporary society neither understands, nor wants to inquire into that honorable marriage law.

(Gen. 18:17-18)     Abraham was not only a family man, but he was a prophet, a herdsman, an astronomer, and a soldier. He was notable and honorable in all that he did.

(Gen. 18:17-18)     Abraham was not only a family man, but he was a prophet, a herdsman, an astronomer, and a soldier. He was notable and honorable in all that he did. His adventures as a soldier first came when his brother Lot was taken as a prisoner by Babylonian soldiers. There were many different colonies or settlements in the region around Sodom where Lot dwelt, and they were often at war with each other. It was during one of these skirmishes that Lot fell captive.

OF GOD VOLUME 2  Pages 24 to 30  We come again to another prominent character, that is Abraham, a very remarkable man in his day and age; although at the present time men look upon him as a kind of an old shepherd, a man that attended flocks and herds and sheep, a sort of herdsman and a shepherd; and there was very little of him anyhow except that he lived in his day almost as a barbarian. That is the opinion that many men have formed of him—that he was something like our backwoodsmen, some of our farmers who have not mixed up with the elite of society, or made themselves familiar with the intelligence that pervades the world. I look upon him as another character entirely, and from information that we can gather from revelations that have been referred to, we find that there was something very peculiar about him. We read his history and we find that he was a man that sought after righteousness, that he desired to obtain more righteousness, that he examined the records of his fathers, that he found in examining the records, tracing them back through the flood, clear away back unto Adam’s day, he found many circumstances that were connected with man-kind, not only to Adam’s day, but before the world was. In doing this, among other things, he found he had a rightto the priesthood.

With the sweet taste of success, they decided to once again benefit from the assets of the hard-working Saints in the Salt Lake Valley; so they tried to use their military powers to rob them again.

They were agents there just as much as you and I are here. They could obey the law that was given to them, or they could disobey that law. (Orson Pratt, JD 19:316)  Experience is the ability to participate, to perceive, to understand, and to gain knowledge by living through certain events. Merely being alive or conscious is the basis of gaining experience. Because a person can learn from these experiences, he is better qualified to make choices. Simply being conscious and aware of events happening around him, or to him, will give an individual positive or negative experience.  Likewise, spirits in the Spirit World go through a series of events giving them experience. Some choose to do good, while others select evil, i.e.:  God gave his children their free agency even in the spirit world, by which the individual spirits had the privilege, just as men have here, of choosing the good and rejecting the evil, or partaking of the evil to suffer the consequences of their sins. Because of this, some even there were more faithful than others in keeping the commandments of the Lord. (Doc. of Sal., Jos. Fldg.

Some choose to do good, while others select evil, i.e.:  God gave his children their free agency even in the spirit world, by which the individual spirits had the privilege, just as men have here, of choosing the good and rejecting the evil, or partaking of the evil to suffer the consequences of their sins. Because of this, some even there were more faithful than others in keeping the commandments of the Lord. (Doc. of Sal., Jos. Fldg. Smith, 1:58)  Read the rest of this chapter:  https://at.tumblr.com/fundamentallymormon/learning-by-experience-chapter-6-of-reincarnation/68osvkqws8y0  Read this book:  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=181  Read more books on Restoration Theology:  http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=30]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3638</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>eternal lives,lds,mormonism,mormons,reincarnation</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>6</itunes:season><itunes:episode>627</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE PRE-MORTAL WORLD, CHAPTER 7 OF REINCARNATION</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-pre-mortal-world-chapter-7-of-reincarnation--63903077</link><description><![CDATA[THE PRE-MORTAL WORLD, CHAPTER 7 OF REINCARNATION   Pages 62 to 67  For a wise and glorious purpose,  Thou hast placed me here on earth,  And withheld the recollection  Of my former friends and birth.

Yes, I am 42 years old this day. How such figures look to a man while counting up his years in this probation. The very sight of them crowd into the mind a flood of thought even more than tongue can utter or pen can write. The last sixteen years of my life have been spent in endeavouring to preach the gospel and building up the Kingdom of God in connection with my brethren. The past is gone.

The very sight of them crowd into the mind a flood of thought even more than tongue can utter or pen can write.

There’s a great treasury in heaven which contains all good things; it is to share in this treasury that all seek.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>684</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>eternal life,eternal progression,lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/295fe128d7d4d507186a0a32b7a6cfef.jpg"/><itunes:season>7</itunes:season><itunes:episode>656</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Tried in All Things, Chapter 11 of Eternal Lives</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/tried-in-all-things-chapter-11-of-eternal-lives--63903038</link><description><![CDATA[Tried in All Things, Chapter 11 of Eternal Lives  Read the full chapter here:  https://at.tumblr.com/fundamentallymormon/tried-in-all-things-chapter-11-of-eternal-lives/db8jvj13oghn  Joseph Smith  “My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom.” (D&amp;C 136:31)  “And they shall overcome all things.” (D&amp;C 76:60)  “We consider that God has created man with a mind capable of instruction, and a faculty which may be enlarged in proportion to the heed and diligence given to the light communicated from heaven to the intellect; and that the nearer man approaches perfection, the clearer are his views, and the greater his enjoyments, till he has overcome the evils of his life and lost every desire for sin; and like the ancients, arrives at that point of faith where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker and is caught up to dwell with Him.

As far as we degenerate from God, we descend to the devil and lose knowledge, and without knowledge we cannot be saved, and while our hearts are filled with evil, and we are studying evil, there is no room in our hearts for good,” (HC 4:588)]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5037</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>eternal lives,lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6280f650af05baf7abca33563d3d1545.jpg"/><itunes:season>7</itunes:season><itunes:episode>676</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 677 Robert Matthias, Chapter 30 of Eternal Lives</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-677-robert-matthias-chapter-30-of-eternal-lives--63903025</link><description><![CDATA[Episode 677 Robert Matthias, Chapter 30 of Eternal Lives  Read along here: https://www.tumblr.com/fundamentallymormon/722351041713242112/episode-677-robert-matthias-chapter-30-of-eternal  Joseph Smith  “Tuesday, November 10[, 1835]. —I resumed conversation with Matthias, and desired him to enlighten my mind more on his views respecting the resurrection.

Two of these are called “Creation Research Society” and “Bible Science Association.” Henry M. Morris, president of the former, has some interesting views on the mystery of man’s creation:  His creative acts consisted of calling the physical universe into existence, of calling animal life into existence, and of calling human life in His own image, into existence.  The reason why He took six days instead of only the twinkling of an eye to do this was in order for His work week of six days to serve as a pattern for man’s work week of six days.  Real creation obviously requires creation with an “appearance of age.” Thus, Adam was made as a full-grown man.

Two of these are called “Creation Research Society” and “Bible Science Association.” Henry M. Morris, president of the former, has some interesting views on the mystery of man’s creation:  His creative acts consisted of calling the physical universe into existence, of calling animal life into existence, and of calling human life in His own image, into existence.  The reason why He took six days instead of only the twinkling of an eye to do this was in order for His work week of six days to serve as a pattern for man’s work week of six days.  Real creation obviously requires creation with an “appearance of age.” Thus, Adam was made as a full-grown man. (Evolution and the Modern Christian, pp. 58, 650, 62)  So, according to Morris, Adam was the only man who never had a boyhood, and genealogically speaking he never had a father either.

(D.H.C. 1:244)     Because so many uninspired translators had made errors in their work of copying or translating, the Bible had lost some of its original scriptures and books.

Whereas the gospel is not so flexible. If the good news, teachings, truth, doctrines, rules and commandments are from God, they are eternal and unchangeable.

According to Webster, they are defined as follows:  Church: a building set apart for public worshipecclesiastical government of a religious groupa religious servicea congregation Gospel: good newsteachings of Jesus and His apostlesabsolute truthdoctrines, rules, commandments From these definitions, it is easy to see how the church can undergo changes in (1) location and facilities, (2) type of government instigated (3) policies and procedures accepted, and (4) numbers and types of members. Whereas the gospel is not so flexible. If the good news, teachings, truth, doctrines, rules and commandments are from God, they are eternal and unchangeable. The church can vote to accept or reject any or all of the gospel, but that doesn’t change the fact that the eternal gospel itself cannot change. A church can be composed of men holding Priesthood authority, but they are ineffective unless they are in obedience to the gospel’s rules and standards.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4720</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>latterday saints,lds,mormonism,mormons</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d2e9c7deafc55b6547066504353af193.jpg"/><itunes:season>8</itunes:season><itunes:episode>717</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, Chapter 5 of The Church &amp; The Gospel</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/gifts-of-the-spirit-chapter-5-of-the-church-the-gospel--63902998</link><description><![CDATA[GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, Chapter 5 of The Church &amp; The Gospel      Pages 54 to 61     The Importance of Spiritual Gifts  The Latter-day Saints profess to believe in spiritual gifts.

Mormonism is not just another ethereal, mystic, or philosophical religious system-but rather a practical down-to-earth religion that can deal with dollars and cents, butter and beans, parcels of real estate or heavenly kingdoms-because a religion that cannot help people temporally has little power to help them spiritually. Mormonism embraces both practicality and spirituality.  In a doctrinal dissertation by Dean D. McBrien, it was noted that in 112 revelations to Joseph Smith, 88 dealt in part or wholly with economic matters.

Mormonism is not just another ethereal, mystic, or philosophical religious system-but rather a practical down-to-earth religion that can deal with dollars and cents, butter and beans, parcels of real estate or heavenly kingdoms-because a religion that cannot help people temporally has little power to help them spiritually. Mormonism embraces both practicality and spirituality.  In a doctrinal dissertation by Dean D. McBrien, it was noted that in 112 revelations to Joseph Smith, 88 dealt in part or wholly with economic matters. This is not out of harmony with the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, for one verse in every six deals with the money question. Out of the 29 parables of Christ, 16 of them mention the Christian and his money.  It is not riches alone, but the lust for riches that overcomes the human will. “The love of money is the root of all evil.” (I Tim. 6:10) So when men idolize riches, they often condescend to evil means to obtain them.   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6598</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>united order</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8f31400bda5bc1945ef10a1aeee01f6f.jpg"/><itunes:season>8</itunes:season><itunes:episode>727</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE ONLY TRUE GOD, Part 1, Chapter 11 of The Church and The Gospel</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-only-true-god-part-1-chapter-11-of-the-church-and-the-gospel--63902960</link><description><![CDATA[THE ONLY TRUE GOD, Part 1, Chapter 11 of The Church and The Gospel      Pages 147 to 153     This Is Life Eternal . . .

Catholic and Protestant churches say it existed anciently but admit they do not have it now. Even the Latter-day Saints have tendered a variety of interpretations and explanations.  Questions continue to arise on how it is given, who has it and how it functions. Can a man who is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold the Priesthood? Is it possible for members of the Church to lose the Priesthood and still be a member of the Church? Can a man be excommunicated and still hold Priesthood? Can Priesthood exist outside the jurisdiction of the LDS Church? These questions continue to plague Church members and non-members alike.  Paul the Apostle said, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (I Cor. 15:19) Similarly, in our dispensation if Fundamentalist Mormons learn that Priesthood cannot operate outside the bounds of the Church, they will be “of all men most miserable.” Approximately 30,000 Fundamentalist Mormons, with thousands already dead, and many thousands more being born, all believe in a Priesthood that can function both in and out of the LDS Church. It is a very critical issue, for both members and non-members, especially if Church leaders claim they have the power to cause someone to lose their power in the Priesthood.  In a day when church seems to hold more importance than Priesthood and leaders declare they are more to be followed than are Gospel principles, much more clarification is needed.

Catholic and Protestant churches say it existed anciently but admit they do not have it now. Even the Latter-day Saints have tendered a variety of interpretations and explanations.  Questions continue to arise on how it is given, who has it and how it functions. Can a man who is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold the Priesthood? Is it possible for members of the Church to lose the Priesthood and still be a member of the Church? Can a man be excommunicated and still hold Priesthood? Can Priesthood exist outside the jurisdiction of the LDS Church? These questions continue to plague Church members and non-members alike.

On June 30, 1887, a convention was held for the purpose of creating a constitution in the event Utah became a state. Although not the first effort in this direction, it was significant because of the willingness of the Mormons themselves to forbid polygamy and punish those who lived it.  Orson F. Whitney said that “The movement was especially notable from the fact that it was proposed by the Mormons—the Gentiles refusing to take any part in the proceedings.” (History of Utah 3:583) The convention continued for a week, until July 7th. As a result, a constitution was framed and adopted, including the following provision:  Section 12 (of Article XV). Bigamy and polygamy being considered incompatible with a republican form of government, each of them is hereby forbidden and declared a misdemeanor. Any person who shall violate this section shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, and by imprisonment for a term of not less than six months, nor more than three years, in the discretion of the court. (History of Utah, Whitney, 3:584)  The election occurred on Monday, the 1st of August [1887].

On June 30, 1887, a convention was held for the purpose of creating a constitution in the event Utah became a state. Although not the first effort in this direction, it was significant because of the willingness of the Mormons themselves to forbid polygamy and punish those who lived it.  Orson F. Whitney said that “The movement was especially notable from the fact that it was proposed by the Mormons—the Gentiles refusing to take any part in the proceedings.” (History of Utah 3:583) The convention continued for a week, until July 7th. As a result, a constitution was framed and adopted, including the following provision:  Section 12 (of Article XV). Bigamy and polygamy being considered incompatible with a republican form of government, each of them is hereby forbidden and declared a misdemeanor. Any person who shall violate this section shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, and by imprisonment for a term of not less than six months, nor more than three years, in the discretion of the court. (History of Utah, Whitney, 3:584)  The election occurred on Monday, the 1st of August [1887]. The count of the votes cast showed the following result:  For the Constitution..  13,195  Against the Constitution..   502  (Ibid., p. 585)  The Saints had spoken! John Taylor’s prophecy was already being fulfilled. The vote demonstrated a ratio of 27 to 1 against plural marriage. The Saints had reversed their position in 35 years.   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1397</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>1886 revelation,1889 revelation,1890 manifesto</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6280f650af05baf7abca33563d3d1545.jpg"/><itunes:season>8</itunes:season><itunes:episode>748</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>MAN-MADE MANIFESTOS, Part 1 of Chapter 6 of The Church and The Priesthood</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/man-made-manifestos-part-1-of-chapter-6-of-the-church-and-the-priesthood--63902974</link><description><![CDATA[MAN-MADE MANIFESTOS, Part 1 of Chapter 6 of The Church and The Priesthood   Page 66 to 79  In 1890 the LDS Church, its members and the Priesthood experienced perhaps their greatest trials and testing.

Jesus, however, was blessed with such wisdom and understanding that even at age 12 He confounded the wisest of the Pharisees on Priesthood issues.     When He began to teach the laws of the higher Priesthood, he was rejected and “cast out” of the synagogues. This story of Christ’s rejection is told in the King James version of the Bible, but it is told better in some of the other versions. ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1684</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>the excommunication of jesus c</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a4bca0f3142e4aeef0049d76da93faef.jpg"/><itunes:season>8</itunes:season><itunes:episode>762</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>THE EXCOMMUNICATION OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS BELIEVERS, Part 2 of Chapter 12</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-excommunication-of-jesus-christ-and-his-believers-part-2-of-chapter-12--63902947</link><description><![CDATA[THE EXCOMMUNICATION OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS BELIEVERS, Part 2 of Chapter 12 of The Church and The Priesthood      To summarize this chapter:     1. The Mosaic church operated under the authority of the Levitical Priesthood, and Christ held the office of Rabbi in that church. However, Joseph Smith said, “All the prophets had the Melchizedek Priesthood and were ordained by God himself.” (TPJS, p. 181) Jesus had received that Priesthood from His Father, and therefore possessed the highest Priesthood authority.     2. Jesus attempted to teach higher laws of this higher Priesthood, and also performed miracles demonstrating the power that He had with God. These two factors caused both fear and envy among the chief priests and Pharisees. (See Matt. 27:18 &amp; Mark 15:10.)     3. The Jews excommunicated Jesus for teaching and living the doctrines of the higher Priesthood while they themselves were living on only a Levitical Priesthood level. Thus, Levitical Priesthood holders were incorrectly attempting to excommunicate a Melchizedek Priesthood holder.     4. Jesus, His disciples and all others from then on who believed in Him were excommunicated from the synagogue. Jesus had to teach, live and administer the higher ordinances outside of the Mosaic church of the Jews.     5. The Mosaic church did not become Christian.
