I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:31)
I profess by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD that I die daily. I profess that we are independent spiritual beings entrenched tabernacles of clay. In the physical world, we exist in a human or fallen humanity or sphere tailored after the pattern of organization of life.
What is humanity? I profess that humanity is what it is. It is not an exalted, perfect but a fallen state of existence. And to defeat humanity Christ Jesus was sent, in whom by obedience and sacrifice in all things, after we have been purified, sanctified, vivified, like Christ, we shall also be perfected and glorified in him.
Is it not it true that we are all born; that we grow up; that we multiply and that we die as all or most living organisms? And yet this life is very dependent on the care and nurture we give to it. If not, humanity and death takes over. And that is the reality of our mortal and human experience. Therefore, as Paul also said, if in this life we only have hope in Christ, we should be counted with the most miserable of all men, even the walking dead.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:18 - 19)
What is death then? There is no abstraction in it. It is nothing more or less than the absence of life the very same way that hate is the absence of love or that darkness is the absence of light, for there is an opposition in all things. But there is more to it than just white and black or positive and negative in the reality or the opposition of all things. Reality is more complex than that. There are two other opposite factors imbedded in our fundamental human reality and in the truth of all things that we have not yet discovered or investigated. There is a power to excel in us, a power that is not of this world and that is not supposed to be subject to the frailties of humanity or of our fallen state. It is an eternal principle in the reality of all things and more particularly in the law of all the opposites that if understood will revolutionize and increase knowledge in the whole world. I profess and presume that the man that posses this knowledge will make the whole world shine with his glory. And as the Psalmist said, blessed be his glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
(Old Testament | Psalms 72:19)
There is an engineer and an architect in heaven that teaches me and to whom belongs all the Glory of what I know and profess. I have heard his voice which sounds like the rushing wind or like the noise of many waters. I want to introduce you to him, he is my father, and he is the GOD of Israel whose Glory shines from the way of the East and the whole earth shines with his glory. From Jesus Christ I have learned that; in all things besides positive and negative factors of the opposition of all things in the universe, there is also a dependent and an independent factor, and where these two facts exist, there is reality or light and truth in abundance.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel
(Old Testament | Ezekiel 43:2)
And what is the truth? The truth is Jesus Christ in whose bosom resides all grace, life and power. In other words, the truth is the knowledge of things as they are, as they have been and as they are to come. And the only one that I know of that knows all things perfectly in the present, past and future is the LORD our GOD. The truth makes alive all things and liberates or salvages that which was lost from darkness, woe and misery. And the LORD is enveloped in light or glory. The GLORY of God is like a messenger who is sent from heaven to enlighten the whole earth with his glory.
AND after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
(New Testament | Revelation 18:1)
All truth stand upon four pillars like a frame holds a picture in its four angles; or like a door is held firmly in place by at least three hinges and a door lock; or like a table which stands upon its four legs; or better yet, as an automobile that stands and runs in four wheels. If we have eyes to see, we can see the same analogy or truth exists in the great scheme of the universe in both the micro and the macro cosmos. Now, I am given these simple examples to prepare your minds and your souls for greater knowledge. For how can be comprehend that which is heavenly without that which is temporally? Or, better yet, if I tell you earthly things and you believe not, how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things? Is not this what the LORD said to Nicodemus and to all the masters of Israel
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
(New Testament | John 3:12)
In the macro cosmos for instance, there are four fundamental forces that shape the universe. These are: Gravitation, Electromagnetism, the Strong Nuclear Force, and the Electroweak Nuclear Force. I could go into detail to dissect these forces, but to keep it simple I will not. Suffice it to say that an intelligent and intricate arrangement of these four fundamental forces makes up the universe in which we live. For instance, gravitation and electromagnetism produce light which is nothing more than friction of partilces going back and forth. One needs to see the nucleus of the sun working in slow motion to understand this, which brings me to the micro cosmos. In quantum mechanics or in the micro cosmos or micro universe we also have these four factors at play in the way subatomic particles behave in the nucleus of an atom. We have come to know by stufy that matter is made up of atoms and that these are basically made up of for fundamental subatomic particles which are know as protons, neutrons, electrons and the space where they revolve symmetrically and asymmetrically in which is called antimatter. Do you see the pattern of organization. All truth stands in at least four legs.
An intelligent and intricate arrangement of these subatomic particles or micro structures make up the elements, the chemicals and the microbiological and organic structures and entities that exist in our physical world. And in sum, between these macro and micro structures we can find all sorts of other truths which can vary by discipline of study and investigation such as theology, philosophy, science and heretics or pseudoscience.
I know this both by study and by faith. I also went to college for one or two semesters only to study general education and to remember some of what I already knew from my pre-existence or in my pre-mortal life. I took in college one class of English Language and also one class in Philosophy among a few others. The other sciences I learned partially in High School. And I hope one day I return to finish what I started because as you see I make many dumb mistakes in writing and in trying to explain things. I lack the structured scientific language among other things.
Nevertheless, I mentioned the subject of English Language in particular, because in the English language class I learned deeply about the intricate and marvelous structure of sentences. If I am not mistaken, all written communication is made up of characters or symbols called letters. Letters in turn make up words, fragments and phrases. These elements of communications are intelligently and intricately arranged into paragraphs. All truthful communication has to have for elements, which are letters, words, sentences and paragraphs. I am not a numerologist but I have learned to dicern that there is a pattern in all things. And the magic numberis four. But the sentences themselves are subdivided in four distinct factors. There are simple sentences, there are complex, there are compound sentences and there are compound complex sentences. Likewise, all things that exist in the universe whether we notice them or not, there are four factors as in the truth of all things interacting to make ideas and other good stuff come to pass to make sense of both the known and the unknown worlds. These four factors are in a continual and never-ending state of creation and of destruction. if I were a matemathician, I could even creaet a sun or even a world, if given license, time and the opportunity. I understand these things because GOD showed them to me in a dream, then he closed it and I forgot it for about twenty years.
Then and there, in English language for instance, I learned that the simple sentences in our lauingage are made up of an independent clause, while a complex sentence is made up of both an independent and a dependent clause. And a combination of these factors with subordinating words and articles make up both compound sentences, and compound complex arrangement of sentences. And in physics that is how we make sane of each other and travel the world and the vast universe.
I also mentioned the philosophy subject in my studies, because the bottom line is that when I begun to understand these principles or fact of life, and reasoned and dreamed about them, I noticed that where there is something of an eternal nature in them. And it is a factor that I had not considered in the opposition of all things. The factor is that where there is something anywhere and everywhere that is dependent in nature, that before or after it there must necessarily be something that is independent in or of nature. I also learned that life and death are not as equally opposite as they simply appear. I learned that there could not exist death without life; or than one living organism can never die without being alive first. Therefore the most important requisite for death to take place in any lioving organizm is for that organism to be alive first, and without which it can never take place. That means that life was there first and then death was conceived. Even the scriptures speak about two types of life and two types of death. There is the temporal or mortal life; and there is life eternal as well as their counterpart. Temporal death is the division of the soul or the separation of the Eternal Spirit from the physical or temporal body. And Eternal death is the separation of the spirit or soul from eternal life or from living in the presence of GOD. For regardless of redundancy, mere immortality is not the same as Eternal life. Eternal life means to live forever in the presence of GOD and immortality is simply to live forever somwhere else.
And that one set of these factors exist to act and that the other set of factors exist to received the action. That once and for all one can dissect humanity and find out that we as individuals, despite our humanity have the essence, the ability and the potential for perfection in both quality and quantity and that its opposites does not. In other words, one person can, if given the opportunity, tools and time be able to be perfectly good, but one can never become perfectly evil, for even becoming good at being evil is a self defeating quality from the opposite factor. Or in order for one human to be perfectly evil one need to renounce all good and self destruct, which implicates being good at something, which is getting rid of all goodness in a person which not perfectly possible despite obvious state of existence. But the elements are eternal and spiritual matter cannot be created or destroyed. Because we are moral beings and agents unto ourselves and as intelligences we have always existed. But free agency is a gift for which we are indebted to GOD.
The prophets from the beginning of the world until today are the mouthpiece of GOD. And The LORD thru them has said this. "I cannot stress too strongly that decision determine destiny. We cannot be right by doing wrong and we cannot be wrong by doing right." We are free to choose, but we cannot by natural law alter the consequences of our choices. In other words, my beloved brethren, we cannot expect to be saved by the law when we have broken the law. For this we need a savior.
Moral Agency and Natural Law
And to act wisely in our choices we need to know that these choices do exist. And the more choices we have the more freedom to act we have in proportion to our knowledge of them. For example, if I would only believe in the OLD testament of the Bible as the ancient Israelites or many of the Jews of this day, the way of salvation was and is to them thru obedience to the commandments and to offer sacrifices as recorded in the law so Moses. In there Moses said that he that does not live by the law shall die by the law. The choices are very limited.
But in the New Testament of the Bible, the LORD who gave the law fulfilled it and now we are subject to him, for he is now the law. All we need to do is to continue in his word and live by his example. He has all power and ultimate freedom. He did not come to destroy the law and the prophets but to fulfill it, and in so doing, he provided a more excellent way for our salvation, which is still thru obedience to the commandments, the ordinances of the gospel. Which ordinaces and principles are four also. Fisrt, faith in Jesus Christ and all his merits. Second by repenting or by offering unto GOD a broken heart and a contrite spirit and by endurance to he end in service to God an dour fellow man as his witnesses emulating him in all things and even unto death. IF we have faith in Christ we will repent and if we repent, he will send messengers to Baptized us. That is the third principle of the gosple and it s first ordinace. And then coms the fourth which is the recpetion of the Holy ghsot by the lying o hands. After that we only need to endure unto th end and the spirit will help us to be obedient in all things even like the Christ. For he said: come unto me all of you that labor and are heavy laden. Take my joke upon you for my yoke is easy and my burned is light.
The commandments of GOd have not changed nor will they ever change, but the Law has been modified. We have better choices. Before or in the school master of the law of Moses, it was required to offer for sin the firstlings of our flocks and the fruits of the earth as an acceptable offering and sacrifices unto the LORD. Now sacrifices do continue but he forbade that practice of shedding of blood and only requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit instead. Had he not modified that LAW, there would not be any Israelite or Jew upon the earth today.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(New Testament | Matthew 11:28 - 30)
The commandments of GOd have not changed nor will they ever change, but the Law has been modified. We have better choices. Before or in the school master of the law of Moses, it was required to offer for sin the firstlings of our flocks and the fruits of the earth as an acceptable offering and sacrifices unto the LORD. Now sacrifices do continue but he forbade that practice of shedding of blood and only requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit instead. Had he not modified that LAW, there would not be any Israelite or Jew upon the earth today.
Now, If we desire to be given righteousness, which is ultimate freedom to know what God knows, to do like he does and to be like he is, we need to be able to live by higher laws or to act in accordance to the will of GOD. And we can only accomplish this after being born again thru the spirit of GOD. And a messenger was sent to prepare the way; and immediately after that, the LORD was sent to show us the way. In the days of Abraham, the father of the Faithful, that is Isaac and Jacob and their obedient children, the people were required to do the works of Abraham to be saved. That was their way. Before them were the Patriarchs which knew the gospel as we know it today. They knew the way. In the Days of Moses, the exiled Israelites were required to do the works of Moses. And when Christ came, we are saved by doing the works of Christ. But because the World has rejected Christ time and again even since the beginning of the world, many truth have been lost from the cannon of scriptures that were plain an simple or easy to be followed. And as a result of mischief and gross mischief, a restoration was necessary or else, we are all lost. We can learn more about these subjects by reading the great prologue; which is a comprehensive history of the Great Apostasy and the Great Restoration. This is how we have received the Great Commision to prepare the world for the GREAT ADVENT OF JESUS CHRIST.
THE GREAT PROLOGUE
By
Mark E. Petersen.
And, if we desire to obtain Eternal life in the presence of GOD, we need to be like him every whit; or we need to live by God’s laws and his divine standards. and by faith in the son of GOD all things are possible; he will provide for our short comming. As a result of knowing and living by all laws, he has ultimate freedom to know, to be and to act if we will follow him. However, as a result of the wickedness of men, many precious and simple things were taken from the scriptures as they proceeded from Jesus Christ in truth and in purity unto the apostles and from them to the gentiles. And then, there was the creation of a great and abominable church which killed the prophets and took away those precious truths from the gospel. And when that happened, the world went into a mass apostasy. And the gentiles are and have been lived in that state of awful darkness ever since. They are running to and fro seeking the word of the LORD like drunkards, but cannot find it. And many do stumble and fall to rise no more because of those precious parts that were taken away from the Gospel. And to avert this great evil a restoration or restitution of all things was promised.
God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. A restoration of the gospel was promised and it was talked about by the mouth of all the holy prophets even from the beginning of the world. And this is the message of peace and salvation we bring unto the world. We are living in that time of the restoration of all things TODAY, which is called the dispensation of the fullness of times. Strage terms and language for the un initiated, but all can come to the knowledge of the truth if they come unto us. And besides the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, we have the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ, where the fullness of the gospel if found. And we also have the Book of Doctrine and covenants. Besides these, we have the word of Moses as originally give, and the record of Abraham as recorded in the book called the pearl of great Price. All this came to us by the gift and power of GOD thru Joseph Smith the prophet.
These Holy books are one in our hand and they are full of commandments and laws that enable us buy faith, by obedience, by sacrifice and by endurance to the edn to be like unto GOD in every which way and it doed not take away from him. And In these books we have learned that the LORD does not give commandments or laws to the children of men, without first preparing for them the way for them to fulfill what he has commanded. And he has commanded us even to the ends of the earth to believe in him or that Jesus is the Christ; to repent; to be baptized by immersion for the remission o sins, and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by the lying of hands under those in authority. If we do this we are in our way to life and salvation. Without this we are in our way to death and perdition. And if we endure unto the end in rightesouness, we will be baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost that will guide us back to his presence. And then all things become posible even for the weakest of the weak. This is the commandment.

Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do; Therefore, if ye do these things blessed are ye, for ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:20 - 22)
Therefore, I profess that if my life, that is my physical life is dependent of the care and nurture I give to it; and if so, there must necessarily and unavoidably exist a life independent of these necessities. As I was talking about the English Language, I cannot make up a dependent clause in any given sentence without first creating or imagining an independent one. For instance if I were to simply write or say: “because he loves me.” I would not make any sense at all because the sentence is not complete. It is a dead sentence or a sentence in a dead end. But I know that in my heart and in mind I thought of the independent clause of that will complete that sentence that will make it alive which is. “God sent his only begotten son to save me because he loves me.” So it is with life. There is an independent life, within or without, before of after our physical life. And I am here to testify and to prove unto the world that I know that there is. I die daily and I commune with the dead on a regular basis. I see them and interact with them as I interact with the living.
Life in the other side is very similar to our in this our physical world. We all knew this at one point, for before we were born in this world we were or lived in the very presence of GOD. And he taught us many things. And there is a great plan of Salvation or happiness that was prepared with us, even before the foundation of the world, for which we all shouted for joy. Job was told this great news by GOD when his friends reviled against him and he repented even of the day he was born, for he knew not who he was before and the redemption that will come to pass latter. Then he received hope and uttered that even though the LORD slays him, he will yet trust in GOD and in the flesh see him again. And Jeremiah was known to GOD even before he was born and called to a prophet unto the nations. So were we in an spiritual existence before we were born and GOD knew us. Even Jesus Christ, the son of Elohim, the most high GOD, was know to us all as Jehovah in the Old testament of the Bible. For he is the great Jehovah of the OLD testament, the Messiah of the New, the Resurrected deity of the Book of Mormon and the glorified as recorded in the Book of the Doctrine and Covenants, of whom was said, to be held in reserve in heaven until the times restitution of all things. And of the truth or of Jesus Christ or of this both the Old Testament of the Bible, the New testament, the book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants bear record saying:
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 18:15)
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
(New Testament | Acts 3:19 - 26)
Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.
Verily I say unto you, yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have testified of me. And behold, ye are the children of the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are the children of the covenant— And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed—unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all, unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 20:23 - 27)
And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives! For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father— That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 76:22 - 24)
But hat is not all, Socrates, Lehi, the Apostle Paul and William Wordsworth knew that there is life after death or life before and after death.
One of Socrates favorites subjects was Epistemology or the theory of how we acquire knowledge. Socrates argued with his fellows that we already knew what we know, which learning must have taken place in a plane before the physical or present span of life. He proved this to his contemporaries by making or leading an unlearned bystander, even a boy who had no scholastic formation as them in math or the philosophies of men, to solve a complex mathematical problem which could not be accomplished unless that person had previous learning or knowledge.
Lehi in the Book of Mormon, who was a contemporary of Socrates and Plato, talked to his children about the existence of GOD and the fall and about the opposition of all things. That without God and the fall of man, we would not be here today for there could not be a creation of anything.
Paul explained this to the Corinthians Sadducees that were converted and who were conducting baptism for their dead but which did not believe in the resurrection. Thus as the prophet says, if in this life we would base all of our hopes, we would be the most miserable of men.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:19)
And last but not least, William Wordsworth in his existential poem uttered some beautiful words like these concerning our existentialism and the sciptures have similar wording when explainign what life and the truth is which I could also quote.
Life is just a dream and a forgetfulness, our soul, the star of life, in another sphere has been constituted and proceeds from a distant firmament. The soul does not come of all things despoiled, for when it left GOD, our primordial residence, with heavenly gleams has been endowed.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 93:24)
Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also spake them unto prophets of old.
(Book of Mormon | Jacob 4:13)
Are not these historical and scriptural testimonies prove to the secular world at large that there is a GOD that rules on earth as he does rule in heaven, which he does with all prudence and wisdom. The LORD our GOD is the Engineer and the architect of the universe and one that personally taught me these things. Does it not the independent and dependent clause of the law of the opposites settles disputes and allusions that were in contradiction that there is life within our life that still lives after physical death? Science itself cannot deny this and Occam’s Razor proves this, for if we exist today, and we are dependent creatures, there must necessarily be a life within or without us independent of these factors. Gentlemen, it is a principle of parsimony, universal economy, succinctness and common sense or logic.
The unified field theory of the reality of all things has been solved by and unskilled high school dropped out. Unfortunatley I have no schlastic credentials to boast of and become a man of renoun as the scientist of today. I rejoice in the spirit in my GOD and be the glory of this to him and I thank him in public for hiding these things for the wise and prudent and for revealing them to babes for it seemed it good in his sight.
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
(New Testament | Luke 10:21)

For your own science dictates that in problem solving, Occam’s Razor states, that in competing hypothesis, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions or the one with the simplest explanation tends to be the right one and the one that should be selected.
I am a self educated theologian. I work in the highest sphere of human learning where doubt and fear is not an option. We act under absolute principles of certainty not wavering. Under heaven, we err in precision but never in principle. This is a tenet commonly traced in the sphere of philosophy which for some is preposterous; and rarely used in sphere of empirical science. Because what scientist cannot solve or is too eccentric for them in their discipline of study, they leave it to the philosophers or theoretical physicists to tear it apart lie a dog with an old rug. And what philosophers cannot comprehend, they leave it to us to restore because we are the guardians of truth and virtue. And what we cannot solve God makes perfect by sanctifying it.
These things that I speak concerning the cosmos were common knowledge in the golden age. Our first fathers, Abraham included, had great knowledge of the cosmos and they were the ones that settled and/or discerned the times and the seasons for cropping and other purposes. And for the longest time they have labored to bring us to the knowledge of the absolute truth so that we know as they know. Abraham was sent to Egypt to shew this knowledge of life and death to the Pharoes and not the other way around. This is why we preach the everlasting gospel in the language of the learned with our science. Because GOD has provided a more excellent way, not only for our eternal salvation for us to accrue knowledge, wisdom and power, which is accomplished both by study and by faith for the benefit of the entire world. And for this we need the knowledge and promises made to the fathers, so that we grow up in the same pane. For of them and of the power of faith it is written:
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
(New Testament | Hebrews 11:40)
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 12:31)
Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 12:11)
We are messengers of Jesus Christ and we profess that his kingdom on earth has been restored, which is the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter Day saints, the only true and living church upon the earth. And that the kingdom of heaven is at hand and that all mankind may be save by obedience to the ordinances of the gospel. We preach the gospel even to those who will not accept it because it is just. Despite our comforting and reassuring patriarchal blessings, we certainly do not remember all of our pre mortal interactions with God and our fellow men. And we do are not required at present to know all things because we are here to live by faith and not by knowledge. But GOD has sent his messengers in all dispensations to bring us to a true knowledge of him and of the truth not merely to know about him or it. These messengers are duly authorized and empowered with light and truth to stand, which if attended with diligence, they will help us increase our knowledge of the environment we live in. There are two angels in this side of the river and there are two on the other side of the river who are in charge of teaching us all things pertaining to our temporal and eternal salvation. I am here as a messenger to bring you to remembrance in the spirit of truth that which is noted in the scripture of truth, and there is none that holds with me in this, but Michael, your prince. Daniel saw this day of error and wandering in whose book it is written.
But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
(Old Testament | Daniel 10:21)
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
(Old Testament | Daniel 12:4)
And the reason than knowledge need to be increased is because the world lives in apostasy or has deviated from sound truths and all flesh and minds have become corrupted before GOD. As a result the earth languishes and the inhabitants thereof are pained as a result of their ignorance. And it is because darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the minds of people. But no one is saved in ignorance and no ones is destroyed without a proper warning.
I decided to write this work today because, recently, one Bobby Gilpin in his insufferable ignorance wrote a merciless article that reached me. He and his fellows feed in our doctrines like vultures in the carcasses. They have written many articles or blogs first to praise us, yet with intent to stab us in the back by criticizing and abasing the doctrines of our faith and the teaching of our prophets. He is not aware that the devil is in him and that with his false doctrines he desires to deceive people so he can destroy the world and bring death and misery or a curse from GOD to smite us all. But GOD forbids.
And for this reason the LORD promised us in the book of Malachi to send Elijah the prophet with the sealing power to help us all by turning our hearts to the hearts of the fathers and the to plant in us the promises made to the fathers so that all the families of the earth are blessed. And ever since Elijah has come once during the Saviors’ time for the salvation of the ancient Saints; and at least once in our own dispensation in the Kirtland Temple in these latter days, the world is interested in discovering the truth of the past. We dig everywhere these days to know about the ancient inhabitants of the earth. I myself have seen Elijah at the door of the tabernacle in the abode of the Holy temple, whether in the Body or out of the Body I cannot tell. But Bobby or Robert Gilpin spoke in his tedious article about the practice we hold dear in our temples with reference to the baptism for the dead. We do not baptize the dead, we are baptized for them vicariously for their eternal benefit. Because our dead cannot be saved without us, and we cannot be made perfect without them as Paul and Joseph Smith said. Below is a link to the article of these incredulous men in which he playing GOD or acting without his authority has said:
“There are no second chances, today is the day of Salvation.”May 23, 2013 by
And if you read it, you will discover that he ended his lecture by asserting that this life is the only chance that our dead have had for salvation, which assessment is only partially true. His assertion and analogy contradicts the scriptures and the prophets, but most importantly, he denies the mercy of the LORD our GOD. He is quick to riato about us and our doctrines but has forsaken the weighty matters of the LAW which are faith, truth, justice and mercy which he ought to have done first. And I am here, as a servant in the hands of Christ who is duly called and appointed, to alert him that his time is near its pitiful end, that unless he and his fellows that support his false doctrines, speedily repent and amend their ways there is not chance for him in the after life. For I bear solemn witness in the spirit and power of Elijah and in the name of Messiah that there is no record on earth or in heaven of Bobby Gilpin’s faith, of his repentance, of baptisms and of the reception of the Holy Ghost by the lying of hands. And if he and his fellows ever commended in the path of righteousness, they never completed it. And as a result of this his situation is awful. If he perished in his sins, he will be in the gall of bitterness, even in a lake of fire and brimstone.
We in the church of Jesus Christ know that the LORD came to save us from our sins and not in our sins and that believing or merely confessing Christ in the world is not enought o be saved, for he cannot see sin with the least degree of allowance, yet he that repents will be forgiven and he that does not repent will be condemned. No one, except little children enters into the kingdom of God in heaven without the saving ordinances of the Gospel for so it has been decreed in heaven. The LORD has spoken it saying:
And the Lord God called upon men by the Holy Ghost everywhere and commanded them that they should repent; And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:14 - 15)
For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance; Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven; And he that repents not, from him shall be taken even the light which he has received; for my Spirit shall not always strive with man, saith the Lord of Hosts. And again, verily I say unto you, O inhabitants of the earth: I the Lord am willing to make these things known unto all flesh; For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion. And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world.
Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled. What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same. For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:31 - 39)
But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my wish; for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me. I ought not to harrow up in my desires, the firm decree of a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction. Yea, and I know that good and evil have come before all men; he that knoweth not good from evil is blameless; but he that knoweth good and evil, to him it is given according to his desires, whether he desireth good or evil, life or death, joy or remorse of conscience. Now, seeing that I know these things, why should I desire more than to perform the work to which I have been called?
Why should I desire that I were an angel, that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth? For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true. I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.
And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me. Yea, and I also remember the captivity of my fathers; for I surely do know that the Lord did deliver them out of bondage, and by this did establish his church; yea, the Lord God, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, did deliver them out of bondage. Yea, I have always remembered the captivity of my fathers; and that same God who delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians did deliver them out of bondage.
Yea, and that same God did establish his church among them; yea, and that same God hath called me by a holy calling, to preach the word unto this people, and hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full. But I do not joy in my own success alone, but my joy is more full because of the success of my brethren, who have been up to the land of Nephi. Behold, they have labored exceedingly, and have brought forth much fruit; and how great shall be their reward!
Now, when I think of the success of these my brethren my soul is carried away, even to the separation of it from the body, as it were, so great is my joy. And now may God grant unto these, my brethren, that they may sit down in the kingdom of God; yea, and also all those who are the fruit of their labors that they may go no more out, but that they may praise him forever. And may God grant that it may be done according to my words, even as I have spoken. Amen.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 29:3 - 17)
For it is also written that with the same measure that we mete others, we will also be meted. Concerning the redemption of the dead, Bobby Gilpin and his associated have measured all the dead that have departed this world without a sound knowledge or an opportunity to hear and accept the gospel, thru an authorized representative of Jesus Christ. He has said or stated that they do not have a chance. And that only those who accepted Jesus in this life will be saved, which excludes him for he has denied the gospel and it has been presented to him properly by duly authorized representatives of GOD. And by the things or the books that are written the world will be judged. And in a solemn vision of the kingdom of heaven, the prophet Joseph Smith recorded what the LORD said:
THE heavens were opened upon us, and I beheld the celestial kingdom of God, and the glory thereof, whether in the body or out I cannot tell. I saw the transcendent beauty of the gate through which the heirs of that kingdom will enter, which was like unto circling flames of fire; Also the blazing throne of God, whereon was seated the Father and the Son. I saw the beautiful streets of that kingdom, which had the appearance of being paved with gold.
I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept; And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kingdom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins.
Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God; Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom; For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts. And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 137:1 - 10)
As you see, I am not here to argue, to contend or to prove anything to him or to anyone, but to alert those of what has been declared by GOD thru his servants the prophets in all ages concerning the redemption of the dead. The dead that have died without a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ or that they would have accepted it in good will if it had been presented to them.
The Church of Jesus Christ of latter Days saints exists for three fundamental and well defined missions on earth. First, to preach the gospel to all creatures for it is just. Second for the perfecting of the saint so they can abide and endure the presence of GOD. And third for the redemption of the dead for we cannot be saved without dead nor our dead can be saved without us for to the end is Elijah the prophets sent as per the words of Malachi, so that the promises of the fathers are planted in our hearts and that our hearts returns to our fathers, lest the earth be smitten with a curse during the LORD advent.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
(New Testament | Hebrews 11:40)
For in the power and spirit of Elijah, the manual of instructions of the Holy Priesthood on earth it says:
Our Temple and Family History Responsibilities
Ordinances Are Necessary for Salvation
“All of our efforts in proclaiming the gospel, perfecting the Saints, and redeeming the dead lead to the holy temple. This is because the temple ordinances are absolutely crucial; we cannot return to God’s presence without them. I encourage everyone to worthily attend the temple or to work toward the day when you can enter that holy house to receive your ordinances and covenants” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1994, 118; or Ensign, Nov. 1994, 88).
Providing Ordinances for Deceased Ancestors
Having said or pointed out this, in the church of Jesus Christ, the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the gospel preached unto them, and blessed is he that is not offended in Christ. And for these and many other things we endure in all things. For this the LORD also said:
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
(New Testament | Matthew 11:5 - 6)
But that is not all, the GOOD LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARHT DESCENDED BELOW ALL THINGS. When he died, he went to preach the gospel to the dead, which scriptures Bobby and his fellow despise. For as much, then, as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, we arm ourselves with the same mind, purpose and doctrines to be able to die in Christ and cease from sin in the flesh, as to riot and continue in the lust of men but to live according to the will of GOD. For in time past, as Paul also said, of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lust, and excess of wine, rebelling, banqueting and abominable idolatries and speaking evil of dignities. For this cause they find it strange that we do not run run with them in their main stream so called christianity, yea, to the same excess of riot, this is why they speaking evil of us and the prophets; and for this cause, the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached to them that are dead that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but that they should live according to God in the spirit. And for this reason, I as Paul, die each and every day and protest, not to contend with these insufferable and ignorant bastards, but for your rejoicing which I have in Christ our LORD.
FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
(New Testament | 1 Peter 4:1 - 6)
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:29 - 31)
This is my lecture for this day. And I conclude because the spirit of GOD has ceased to give me utterance. And I do not know the reason by which I have recorded these things. The wisdom remains in the bosom of the LORD. I know I have spoken the truth, and that I have done it humbly and solemnly before GOD who is my witness. And is by his power that these things have been written, for I lack ability and education in many of these matters. It is the spirit of GOD, even Michael the Archangel who is instructing us. And I Miguel Angel do publish these things for the advancement of knowledge, in faith hope and charity desiring that the LORD will plant them in the heart of the faithful and all the lovers of truth by the power of his spirit. And whatsoever I do, I do with a single eye for the honor and glory of GOD in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Attentively yours from an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ
