And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Zion and Jerusalem, May 26, 2015

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(New Testament | John 8:32)

There is power in the truth, it tends to make people free to think, to act and to be.  It is the only power under heaven that conquers.  Therefore if we need to overcome the enemies within and without the gates, we need to know and be able to wield the sword of truth under the law.

By definition, the truth is the knowledge of things as they are, as they have been and as they are to come; or it is a knowledge of all things past present and future.  He who knows the end from the beginning is the LORD our GOD, who created all things.  He is the only one who knows all the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  All of us under heaven only know the truth partially or only a portion thereof to the extent of our knowledge of all things. Therefore, in a court of law, when we are asked to swear and tell the truth, technically speaking we all lie, including the sitting judge. All perjure themselves before GOD when they swear to say the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, for no one but God knows it all. Hence when we swear in a court of law for small or great things, in fear of perjury we say, so help me GOD.  He is the one that execute the oaths, he knows the thoughts of our minds and the intentions of our hearts even better than we know ourselves. To swear in most cases, it is a trap we all have fallen into at one point or another.  But he who holds the greater truth if often exonerated for the case being.  For this reason the LORD counseled us not to swear at all, so we do not fall in the snares of men with intent to deceive.  Let your conversation be, says the LORD,  yes, yes or no is no. 

In order to remain or become free we need to remain withing the bounds the LORD has established with the truth he has given us. In other words, we need to remain in his living word or the Holy Scriptures or any revealed pattern agreeable to the laws and commandments. because if we do not talk in accordance to the law and the testimony, then, there is no truth in us. The Jews of antiquity went beyond the mark. They trespassed the law for they had too much light that it blinded them. They tried to understand hidden things or the meaning of things that they could not understand. They ate too much of the forbidden fruit or the knowledge of good and evil. They gave into kabalas, sorceries, the study of astrology, numerology and diverse abominations for which they were eventually destroyed. The Gospel was too simplistic for them. They did not appreciate its beauty and ceased to marvel in the simplicity of the LORD. For this reason, they could not recognize their messiah when he came unto them.  Per say, originally, in their scrutinizing and dissecting hands, the ten simple commandments became like one hundred and twenty. They also filled their holy days with feast and incorrect traditions making the law and commandments of God of no effect. 

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(New Testament | John 8:31 - 32)

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

(Old Testament | Isaiah 8:20)

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; and honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.  Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying; This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

But he answered and said: 

Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.  And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

(New Testament | Matthew 15:4 - 14)

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts, which dwelleth in Mount Zion.And when they shall say unto you: Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and mutter—should not a people seek unto their God for the living to hear from the dead?

To the law and to the testimony; and if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 18:18 - 20)

A prophet and apostle of TRUTH, Elder Todd Christopherson said that God, as a result of knowing all the truth and/ or the laws of the universe, even those we do not know yet, he has and possesses ultimate freedom to be and to act or to do.  He, the apostle of TRUTH also said that if we ever expect to go to heaven and live with GOD, that we need to be like him in every which way. This includes being holy and pure for no unclean thing can dwell in his presence. And we also need to have a knowledge of all his divine attributes and powers or to know as he knows, think as he thinks and see as he sees, not necessarily by precept alone, but also by experience also.  It is better to know GOD than just to know about him.  In other words are not gods the sons of GOD?

A few days ago, in an interchange of words, I was in the same dilemma of Jesus Christ in the meridian of times. I was severely shunned and pierced by some back stabbing Jews discussing issues in the Israeli Hasbara website in facebook.  They who hate to be hated and yet hate Mormons, do not like the idea that we, the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints believe that we can be as the gods in every which way. They brought it up, not me.  I hate snares and tenets.  Nevertheless, this reminds me of a song from Elton John from the caricature movie Road to El Dorado, the entire plot, and the characters thereof.  It is as song for kids that is called: "It's though to be a god." This is how many people withing and without the gates of el Dorado, that is Zion for me, the city of gold, look at the blue Jews in Jerusalem and at the Red Mormons in Zion. But in all truth, this is the trail we blaze. With the help of the almighty, we are here,  as we speak,  able to turn myth into reality. As an Intermission to this errand, I hope you like the song.

 It;s though to be a god

 Road to El Dorado, Elton John

They, the few that affronted me, not the whole lot of them, I suppose,  believe the LORD Jesus Christ is merely a great human being or that he was a superhuman, but not a GOD.   And my answer to them is no different that the LORD’s answer to their fathers.  It is not written in the law and in the psalms or even from the beginning that the sons of GOD are gods also?  This is the reason they hated the LORD more, when he compared himself to GOD and saw to kill him as some of them will seek to kill me. But I speak not of myself, but according to the law and the testimony. When THE GODS saw that Adam and Eve our first parents, they said: They have become as one of US.  Elohim is plural. There were at least two gods present in that conversation.

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

(New Testament | John 10:34)

Thus saith the Lord: Ye are gods and children of the Most High.

A Psalm of Asaph.

GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?  Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

(Old Testament | Psalms 82:Heading - 8)

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

(Old Testament | Genesis 3:22)

In the beginning as the above scripture say, The LORD, Elohim, the Exelsius Deo or the Exalted Father is speaking particularly to his first born spirit, the great Jehovah or the LORD of hosts or the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as recorded in the Torah.    And the Father referred to his son as a GOD, even before he was born as Jesus Christ in the Meridian of Times.  And in the book of John, the apostle of truth reaffirms it.  In New Testament, it is written that in the beginning there was the verb or the word, and the verb was with GOD, and that the verb was GOD. Plural again. That the same being, that is Jehovah or the great spirit that spoke the word was with GOD.  And that all things were made by him and that without him nothing that is was made. That he is also the light and the life of the world and that he shines in darkness but darkness comprehend him not. 

IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

(New Testament | John 1:1 - 5)

 THIS IS THE TRAIL WE BLAZE. We exist to become like our Father which is in Heaven in the same way that a professional earthly father desires for his sons and daughters to get a superior education and exalt themselves and become as professional. But if you do not believe the earthly things, how will you comprehend the heavenly ones. Perhaps this illustrated song will quicken your senses and you will see the great prospects ahead of us. If you could only discern the child of God in you.

The Trail we Blaze, by Elton John

Road to El Dorado

The purpose of this journey is not to teach you what you already know but what you do not know;  and that is the fundamental laws of GOD that give us all instructions of how to be like him so we can one day make Aliyah or return home to him and never leave his presence again. Because when we return home to the LORD our GOD, no matter where we live on earth or in hell, every place becomes a promised land. Home is where Father and Mother are.  I know they are in me and that I am in them. The whole sun-um is to become one with them.

But, first of all, we must understand and never forget that the House of God is first and foremost, a house of order and not a house of confusion. The word order itself implies that is house of laws, commandments, statutes or rites, justice, judgments, faith, truth and mercy.   The LORD exists but he does not govern in the midst of chaos or wickedness. In other words, He only rules upon those who desire to be ruled by him, the obedient. The rest or lawlessness must suffer his will and pleasure or wrath as it comes.  He cannot rule upon or within the ungodly for it will make of him the god of the ungodly. And that cannot be.The ungodly have their own god, the father of sin, the devil.

Therefore it is imperative for us to become very familiar with the laws and commandments of GOD so we can do them; this is so that we can truly be free. It may seem like a redundant paradoxical oxymoron, but the more laws we know and obey, the freer we are.  It is not that the Law bind us like puppets, but that we are bound and encapsulated by the law. In other words, the Law gives us permission, space and materials to do what otherwise will be illegal or ungodly to do.  For instance, if we as men love a gal that makes us go insane and we desire to be intimate with her, and have great and guiltless joy therein, the law says to them: come to me, I will bound you together so that  you reap all the benefits of your love as long as you abide by these rites.  And if you prove to be faithful in a few things, then I may perpetuate that union forever more, says the law.     And unless you come to me, somebody else may come and take it away today or when you die, and you be worst then than you are today. The law knows that is is not good for man to be alone.

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)

Now, the first law of heaven is the law of obedience. The more knowledge of the word of GOD and his given laws, the better we are. From the beginning the LORD has given to his children commandments.  When he married our first parents, the first commandment he gave them was to multiply and replenish the earth. And despite to secular beliefs, that commandment still stands today.  They also knew the Ten Commandments even though they are only enumerated in the days of thru Moses.  The laws are merely for those who tend to break them. They may have had no need of a written and detailed Decalog. All they needed to know was to love their God wholeheartedly and their fellow man as they knew themselves.  It was dutiful to do good or to be engaged in a good cause continually, so they did not need kudos or to be praised at every good deed. This is why it was called the golden age. In the beginning, our first parents and their righteous children were very obedient. 

The great commandments of GOD are the foundation or the constitution of life in this world or in the world to come.  Without them, figuratively and metaphorically speaking, the life of man or a group or men, sinks as fast or faster than the great ship of the last century, Titanic of the Seas.  For it is not this also written unto the nations in the book of Amos, that for three transgressions and a fourth, the LORD will nor divert his punishment? Oh yes it is written.   This is why captains keep detailed logs and journals of their overseas travels. One un-repaired breach in the haul of any ship is one too many. If that happens, it needs to be fixed or amended at once or the ship will eventually flounder jeopardizing lives and cargo.   But if there is one un-repaired breach after the third, then the laws of nature or natural law must forcefully exact its toll on any given ship despite our efforts and strong S.O.S. cries. 

Here is a grim reminder of the Ten Commandments as given to us all by GOD.

AND God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

(Old Testament | Exodus 20:1 - 20)

And thus we have seen that to those who were faithful over a few things, he gave power to become his sons and daughters. Hence we know the chain of the patriarchal order of the sons of GOD from Adam to Enoch and from Enoch to Noah and from Noah to Abraham and his children as recorded in the Old Testament and other holy records we have in our possession.  Then, to all those who were faithful over a few things, the LORD gave more laws and commandments that they can obey. 

The Second law of heaven is the law of sacrifice.  It means that if you break the first law, then you must learn to keep the second. This second law also existed from the beginning. From Adam to Moses and from Moses to Jesus Christ, the children of GOD kept the law of sacrifice; they sacrificed the first fruits of their flocks and the first fruits of the earth unto the LORD to point out and to commemorate the ultimate atoning sacrifice of the son of GOD for us all. When Jesus Christ atoned for our sins, the law of sacrifice by the shedding of blood ended in and with him, but he did not change the law. Only that the nature of the sacrifices changed to a better and more excellent way. He gave us the Universal Plan of Salvation.  It comprises all the states of reality and our eternal progression.

The LORD now required of us an acceptable sacrifice sincere repentance or that of a broken heart and contrite spirit and/or to serve him in obedience.   In other words, he requires of us more than just the blood of the first fruits of our flocks and of our earth, he requires the heart and a willing mind. But as the Prophet Samuel said, it is better to obey than to sacrifice, and to pay attention, than the fat of rams. Because disobedience to any of the Lord’s commandments is rebellion, and stubbornness, adultery and idolatry is a sin of witchcraft. When King Saul offered an unauthorized sacrifice he committed a sin of priestcraft. And for this reason the LORD took the kingdom from him and gave him to another.  Likewise when the king of Babylon after Nabucodonosser, knowingly or unknowingly committed sin of priestcraft, for he mocked the LORD and tried to imitate the temple rites with the vessels of the temple of Jerusalem, he saw the writing on the wall. Like Saul, his kingdom was taken from them all and given to the Medes and Persas.  

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?  Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

(Old Testament | 1 Samuel 15:22)

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

(Old Testament | 1 Samuel 15:23)

The Windows of Heaven

The third law of heaven is the law of the gospel. If we desire to be freer than the ancients, including the Jews that do not believe in Jesus Christ, we need to obey the commandments of GOD and pay attention to the changes of the law of sacrifice.  And when we do, the LORD is going to give us or has given us the law of the gospel.  The Law of the gospel requires of us to stop placing our trust in the arm of flesh, that is in other people in ourselves, for sooner or later we are going to break the first and second law or die trying.  In other word, the law is going to kill us all at one point or another and despite effort and determination, the law is not going to save us.  This is why a deliverer was appointed and required. The law by itself, at most, it can prolong either our little existence or our misery in this world or in the world to come. Only gods, holy and sanctified people can keep all the laws and ordinances of the gospel because they are helped by the Holy Spirit.  So, if we desire to do so and be free even from the penalty of the law and from death, we must seek for a more excellent way.  For this reason the LORD provided in his eternal mercy the law of the everlasting gospel or the THE GOOD NEWS FROM HEAVEN.  It is a more excellent way to live our lives and expect a handsome return in the life to come, for we a re justified as if we had never sinned under the law. In other words the breaches of the law do not become fatal as we thus far know them.

And for this reason God in his great condescension and mercy, for he loves the world and does nothings save it is for our benefit, sent us his pure love. God sent us even his first born son, his only begotten son, the son of his bosom, the great Jehovah to mediate for us and prepare a more excellent way. What did he do? He was perfectly guiltless as the law exacted. He did not break any law for which he had to sacrifice, but nonetheless, he fulfilled all righteousness and willingly paid the ransom for all of our mischief and to prepare a way to make it back to Father with a great booty as if we had not sinned at all. The everlasting gospel consists of four or five simple but redundant and yet precious things. 

First, the first principle of the gospel is to believe in Jesus Christ as our Messiah or redeemer and in no other. He came already in the meridian of times with all the necessary attributes and divine nature in his fullness so we can trust in him and in no man, even if that man is our father, our mother, our son or daughter or even the mighty me, myself and I in all of us. In him we trust like all the bankers do.

Second, the second principle of the gospel is to repent of all of our sins and make an honest effort to recognize and confess that without Christ we cannot make it and to forsake our sins by abandoning them and making restitution whenever possible. In other words, we need to offer unto the LORD a broken heart and contrite spirit, afflicting our souls with strong crying and supplication, and ask him to forgive us for the pain our sins caused him. That shows to him that we are willing to take up his cross and suffer a small measure of the desolation, sadness and agony he suffered in Gethsemane for our mischief.  If to repent hurts us enough, then it is unlikely that we will do it again.  Who would want to pick up a hot pot twice with their bare hands? Experience is a daring school and only fools will learn from it.  If we knew by precept alone how horrible the effects of sins, we would not even sin the first time.   

Third, the first duty of the judge of heaven is to order us to enter by the door. Or, that if we believe in Jesus Christ and have repented of our sins that we give him a good faith estimate of our true intentions.  In other words he wants to know if we are willing to shake our hands with him on it. But instead of a handshake, the kingdom of heaven orders us first to take a bath for, even though we have repented, we still stink as dead people smeared by our sins. In orders to prove our faith in GOD by bearing fruits meet worthy or repentance it by dying symbolically thru a baptism or ritual washing. Or symbolically dying with Christ thru or coming into his kingdom as we were born in this world thru the ordinance of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. This ordinance must be conducted or performed by one who is authorized by heaven to be valid on earth and in heaven and be annotated in the book of life. To do it otherwise will be not only a blasphemous mockery to GOD but invalid, meaningless and those who perform it, will have committed priestcraft; which is a crime no different than impersonating an officer of the law or the government. 

Who does this unless they repent and make amends, they incur in very heavy penalties.  When they are thrust down to hell, their worm never dies.  Therefore, we in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints claim that right and privilege, for we have the necessary credentials to prove it to GOD, angels and these witnesses and we deny it not.  This aspect of royal priesthood or authority has always existed except in times of universal apostasy. And it differentiates us from the rest and make us true and faithful. 

In other words, we did not get our license to drive at the seven eleven, or our license to preach and conduct these ordinances in the university of Berkley, BYU or Harvard, much less in any of the synagogues of Satan. Neither came we undocumented or illegally.Our words, when inspired are binding upon all souls for we received our power and authority under the source of power or the very hands of GOD.  

Fourth, once we are washed away fro our dross, we are given a very special right as new born creatures in the kingdom of GOD. We are given, the gift of the Holy Ghost by the lying on of hands under those who have this power to bestow.  With this great and precious gift, we are able to walk the talk.  It facilitates and gives us special abilities to keep not one, two or three, but all the commandments of GOD even as Christ did. The purpose of the LORD was not only to give us the fish but to show us how to fish and be like unto him. He showed us the way for he is the way. In other words, Jesus Christ is the way to heaven and the prophets show us the path to follow. This is the path you all who have not entered in the way should follow.  Believe, obey and endure. It leads to the lighthouse of the LORD. 

The Lighthouse of the Lord

President:

Thomas S. Monson

Believe, Obey and Endure

“Look to the lighthouse of the Lord. . . . there is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no gale so strong, no mariner so lost but what the lighthouse of the Lord can rescue. It beckons through the storms of life. It calls, “This way to safety. This way to home.”

(President Thomas S. Monson, “Believe, Obey, and Endure”, Ensign, May. 2012, 126.)

https://www.lds.org/ensign/2012/05/believe-obey-and-endure?lang=eng

 
Only then, thru the gospel we are justified and sanctified. And fifth, if we endure to the end of our lives, we will be saved in the kingdom of GOD.  For by water we keep the commandment, by the spirit we are justified and by the blood of Christ we are sanctified. 

Even though the law of the gospel was emboldened in the meridian of time, it has existed from the beginning. This same gospel was given to our first parents, Adam and Eve by the LORD himself. And he was commanded to teach it to all his children freely as I am doing it with you all now.  Hence,  from the very beginning the world herd at the saying that the LORD had atoned for our sins even since the beginning.  Thus, Adam became a true son of GOD in every which way,  for so it is written. 

Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that the Son of God hath atoned for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world.

And the Lord spake unto Adam, saying: Inasmuch as thy children are conceived in sin, even so when they begin to grow up, sin conceiveth in their hearts, and they taste the bitter, that they may know to prize the good.

And it is given unto them to know good from evil; wherefore they are agents unto themselves, and I have given unto you another law and commandment. Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time.

Therefore I give unto you a commandment, to teach these things freely unto your children, saying:

That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory;

For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified;

Therefore it is given to abide in you; the record of heaven; the Comforter; the peaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things; that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things; that which knoweth all things, and hath all power according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment.

And now, behold, I say unto you: This is the plan of salvation unto all men, through the blood of mine Only Begotten, who shall come in the meridian of time.

And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me.

 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water.

And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man. And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost.  This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever;

And thou art after the order of him who was without beginning of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity.

Behold, thou art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons.  Amen.

(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:54 - 68)

 

Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.  I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.  I was with the Father from the beginning.  I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

I came unto my own, and my own received me not.  And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled. And as many as have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.

I am the light and the life of the world.  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.

And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit.  And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.

Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from sin. Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God.  Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.

(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 9:15 - 22)

And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil—

And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore, according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me, that they may be judged according to their works.

And it shall come to pass, that whoso repenteth and is baptized in my name shall be filled; and if he endureth to the end, behold, him will I hold guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.

And he that endureth not unto the end, the same is he that is also hewn down and cast into the fire, from whence they can no more return, because of the justice of the Father.

And this is the word which he hath given unto the children of men.  And for this cause he fulfilleth the words which he hath given, and he lieth not, but fulfilleth all his words.

And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end.

Now 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 27:14 - 22)

Now my beloved brethren, you know that I am a man of low degree. I am not a professional lawyer or judge, nor do I have gone to any school or university of divinity instructions on earth other than Sunday school and the priesthood quorum classes.  I am not writing my own doctrine but the doctrine of the Father who sent us the LORD Jesus Christ. For those of us know where the doctrine we preach comes from. And by declaring the same things that Christ did, some of the Jews are trying to kill me.  Also,  because I said that no other people would have killed their God but the more wicked among the Jews. I saw it in the visions of the night dream; yea,   a pack of three big ones who outdrew me in size and strength who came with smiling eyes at me, but who as soon as they got close to me, they stabbed me on the side with a ice pick or long needle.  But I was so close to them, that they missed my heart, and trespassed my skin only leaving a big and poison swelling bruise  I do no know if the back stabbing was proverbial or physical, but I felt it and it punctured me.  Then, because they could not kill me, they went to persecute my family.     

It is written,  If anyone will do the will of God the Father, they will know if the doctrine I preach is of me or of GOD. I do not sick my own glory but the honor and glory of GOD whom I serve.I do nothing but what I have seen my Father, my redeemer and savior do.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?  Why go ye about to kill me?

(New Testament | John 7:17 - 19)

Even though the church of Jesus Christ teaches us much, we all learn by the Holy Ghost our allotted portion.  This is my portion, the ability to write the truth that is in me. By this time with such an le incompetent scholarship or low degree I have, by this time I ought to or would have contradicted myself. I may have grammatical, orthographic and even contextual errors, but I place as my references the law and the testimony as recorded in the Holy Scriptures to back up my individual understanding of the faith, truth, mercy, laws, commandments, statutes, justice and judgments of GOD.  These are weighty matter of the Law.   

If anyone desire to exceed the righteousness of those that sit in Moses Seat, that is the leading Jews and all those sectarian Christian Baals that preach for money, you all will have to live the law of the gospel and have the Holy Ghost as a guide. If we feast upon the words of Christ, the spirit will tell us all things that we should do.  For when we are born of GOD, we take a day at the time. We do not plan for weeks, month or years in advance what we will do. In fact, we are like the wind that no one sees, much less we know where it comes from and where it is going. So are we. We live day by day and we are given in the same hour what we will do and say like today.   


I have repented of my sins and have been redeemed of my sins; I have been born of GOD and had a mighty change of heart.  I had a heat of stone and the Lord placed a heart of flesh in me.  I have become his people and he has become my GOD.  Even, though Jesus Christ is my elder brother in the spirit, he has become my father in every which way because I was born of him. ANd my father in heaven has become my grand pa, the most High God. I know them both, i am familiar with their voices for I have heard their words.  And I feel to sing the song of redeeming love even at this time, because I know that the power of GOD is in me.  GOD is in me and I am in him, or I am one with him in his work and glory of bringing about the immortality and eternal life of man. He teaches me what to say and when. All I have to do is to open my mouth and he will fill it. It is a simple as that.   This is how, thru me he manifest himself to you. Like John, I can say with absolute confidence, I am not the light, I am here only to bear witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ, the light and the life of the world. And if you desire to live with him, you have to see as he sees, be like him and act like him.  He set the example ahead of us. Before it was impossible, but that is no longer true. In other words, you must be born again.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

(New Testament | John 3:7 - 8)

I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.

(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:24)

 We believe in being Chaste

  

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/we-believe-in-being-chaste?lang=eng

by Elder BEdanrd

After the law of the gospel, there are two other essential laws that wee need to know and keep in connection with the law of obedience, the law of Sacrifice and the law of the gospel. 

And that is the fourth law which is the law of chastity.   Simply stated, that law is the law of pure life or pura vida as the Costa Rican people say.  We are commanded that the sons of Adam and the daughters of eve, are not to have sexual relationships unless they are legally and lawfully married.  This law protects the children of GOD against the sins and perils of adultery and idolatry and the pollutions of the world.  There are some iotas of the law or clauses also; and it is that we must avoid all uncleanness including masturbation, unclean thoughts, unrestrained desires or appetites that include the law of health, loud laughter, watching for iniquity or pornography and evil speaking of the Lord's anointed.   Those who do not keep this law pollute their inheritance or prevent their offspring from certain protective blessings, such as the blessing of intelligence and glory;  or to keep the company and commune with heavenly angels and righteous spirits or even see the face of the living GOD among other things.  Any sin against the law of chastity is rebellion or a sin against eternal life. It creates great obstacles in our eternal progression.  This is why the selfish sin of homosexuality and abortion is an abomination to the LORD or a grave sin; and a therefore a sin against the right to life, to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is treason by any and all means. Because it perverts the pattern of organization of life at its core in the sphere the LORD established it. Without marriage between a  man and a woman, there cannot be a true family and without a family or the continuation and association of the seeds, liberty cannot expand.  And therefore there cannot be lasting happiness other than temporal personal freedom.

 

The Elect of God

And last but not least, we have the law of consecration. The law of consecration goes far and beyond the law of tithing. This means that we consecrate our gifts, talents and everything we have been given by the lord, en even our own lives if necessary for the building up of the kingdom of God on earth and the establishment of Zion. This means that we are fully vested in the Lord's eternal enterprise.  This law gives us entrance to church of the fist born to great meetings that are held every now and then in heaven or in the spirit among the living and the dead.  I was in a meeting with the living prophet of God in the spirit and other saints a few days ago. It appears to me that it was the wedding of the Lord's supper.  All I remember was having seen president Monson busy giving public talks and also the presiding bishop of the church. Some of them received standing ovations. Lots of things are happening in Zion and in the kingdom of GOD that most people do not know or remember about.

This is where we mingle with apostles, prophets and even gods of all ages and time.  Those who keep this law of consecration as it stands and have so purified their hears are the elect sons of GOD.  These individuals have proven to be faithful in all things and at all peril. These have the power of GOD to do all things that are pertaining to GOD as Enoch and Zion of antiquity.  They are fearless assassins and terrible destroying angels, for they strike with surgical precision at the heart of the natural man or to kill the sin in all of us. One needs to have a pure heart to have a license to kill unwavering, like the two witnesses. To these individuals, the end of the world came and went already. Their judgment was accelerated and they serve as special agents of Jesus Christ to do his errands where he wills.   These individuals are like the marines. They pray for war. Or in other words, they expect to be given the command top reap down the earth and are prepared in all things and endowed with power from on high. They want special commandments or mission in addition to all the other commandments that we all have.  And in this capacity I serve you all. This is why I do all these things.  It is better that you get these good news from me than by the sermon of heaven and the destroying angels.

This is my errand for you today. If there is anything I can boast of in the LORD, the LORD willing is of having beautiful feet.   I am but a bearer of good news of great joy.  And I say unto you, that thy God reigns over all his creations. I am one of them. It is my desire to awaken you so that you see what you have not considered. I am here to sprinkle you or to bless you, so that you are all you can be and free yourselves from the yoke of sin and oppression. I lift up my voice so that that you lift up yourselves from the dust by remembering the promises the LORD made to our fathers and place a claim upon them.  And so that you shake of the chains or band that are tying you to this sinful world. Oh, that my words were as powerful as the creator’s, the King of heaven and earth that rules and directs the destiny of all nations. And that my desire be done just by uttering or recite them as you know them. For so the LORD has aforementioned it and said:

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.  For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

(Old Testament | Psalms 48:11 - 14)

AWAKE, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought?  they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

(Old Testament | Isaiah 52:1 - 15)

The spirit of the LORD is upon me. This is how we preach liberty to all nations in bondage of sin among the living and among the dead as the Savior in Mount Zion.  And this is how we make the blind to see, by expounding all the scriptures or by precept and by example. We are here tell you all to prepare for the coming of the LORD. TO tell the wicked that the great and dreadful, day of the LORD is coming, it is is nigh at hand. That unless we amend our ways and our doings, we are going to be cut off, and the furnace of his coming will not leave us neither root or branch. We need to all his blessing to make it, or to receive all his laws and do them. This is why we are here to teach your and your little ones to walk in the light of his laws.  If you awaken and shake the sins of your life by coming to Christ, the promises that he will give you a really big rock or a great revelation or speak to you as he does to me without any intermediary.  

 ROAD TO EL DORADO

Great big "Rock" Scene

There is nothing more pleasing than to hear GOD talking to you;  or that he is mindful of your, enough to have heard that he prepared the way before you and made mention of your own given name. Only then the stone begins to rock and roll. But in order for that to happen we need to be born again of the of the Spirit or have a mighty change of heart and become humble, meek and obedient and submissive in all things like unto a little child when he submits to his father.  Because only founding our faith upon the revelation of Jesus Christ, the gates of hell can never prevail against us. 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

(New Testament | Luke 4:18 - 19)

 Teach me to walk in the light

Lyrics

1. 1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;

Teach me to pray to my Father above;

Teach me to know of the things that are right;

Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.

2. 2. Come, little child, and together we'll learn

Of his commandments, that we may return

Home to his presence, to live in his sight--

Always, always to walk in the light.

3. 3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day

For loving guidance to show us the way.

Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!

Gladly, gladly we'll walk in the light.

4. Text and music: Clara W. McMaster, 1904-1997 (c) 1958 IRI

This food is for you, mine and ours from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, our fathers and mothers which are in heaven. I hope you have enjoyed it. I am old, but a child at the same time, like my father, Michael, an ancient of days. 

We are anxious for the welfare of your souls. It is our only relentless intention to share the best of us, to teach the ways of GOD you so that you sanctify yourself and eat and drink directly from the hand of the LORD and abound in his love forever and ever. As a result of having more words of GOD or scriptures than the Jews and the Christians, we have more commandments and know of more laws that we can obey. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, we the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Days Saints are are more Jewish than the Jews people and more Christian than the Christians and the protestants. Therefore we have more truth and more truth is more freedom and liberty.  For where the spirit of GOD is, there is Liberty. The LORD is that spirit. But there is always a catch. It is better to know God than just to know about him. We have always know the truth or have come to understand it when it is presented to it. But we learn to be free by being doers of the words than just by knowing about it.  Or, as the general Norman Schwarzkopf once said it: " The truth of the matter is that you always know the right things to do. The hard part is doing it. This is how I know that the doctrine I preach comes from GOD and that it is the truth.

This is my testimony and the commission I received from the LORD this past Sabbath with regards to you and me. Of this I solemnly testify; and I do it boldly and nobly, by way of knowledge from above, and I do it one having authority,  in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Attentively yours, from a hated, loathsome, flat nosed and despised servant of rulers and of sovereigns who delights in serving you despite your unkind abuses.  My love is greater than anything you can do to me.  This is how I look before you today, but tomorrow, the LORD willing, I will show you my real face.
