The Seven Deadly Sin: Gluttony

Gluttony, Sin of over Consuming. 

16 ¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Matthew 11:16-19

"The Seven Deadly Sins" 

Interestingly, in latter-days there are certain law that was given to the saints in maintaining their Physical body aligned with the standard of the teachings of the scriptures. The Lord's Law of Health was given by inspiration to help us think more wisely in taking care of the physical body as will as Spiritual. (See this verses from Doctrine and Covenants 89)

A WORD OF WISDOM, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—

2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the word of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—

3 Given for a principle with promise, adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints, who are or can be called saints.

4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

Everything that is too much in our body could be deadly. The scripture also taught us to never run faster than our strength. Though it's not something that we take, but it is something that our physical body couldn't reach beyond its limit. (I will include this topic on the next blog post)

Anyway, Paul also taught as in his epistle about the importance of taking good care of our body.

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

- 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I remember when I was younger, around primary age, it was always instructed in School to make a balance diet. During those times, I never think of anything helpful of that kind of sayings. To me at that age, seems like playing guessing games of Go, Grow and Glow foods, but it never stayed in my head to follow such teachings. We even celebrate Nutrition Month and I think it is still celebrated now a days, and how many people are aware of it? Me? No, I don't think I belong to the people who are aware of it, I even think I'll die in a cancerous body. So, who cares about this post anyway? LOL! But the thing is, everything we take in our body if it is too much it could kill us eventually. Don't mind me, I don't expect much. LOL! 🤣🤣🤣

One of the HYMNS that reminded us to take good care of our body,

Take this message from “As a Man Soweth” by Elder L. Tom Perry. He make some simple statement regarding the importance of taking care of our temporal body. 

John Adams understood the potential of righteous government when he wrote: “Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. Every member would be obligated in conscience to temperance and frugality and industry; to justice and kindness and charity towards his fellowmen; and to piety, love and reverence toward Almighty God. In this commonwealth, no man would impair his health with gluttony, drunkenness or lust. No man would sacrifice his precious time to cards or any other trifling and mean amusement. No man would steal or lie or in anyway defraud his neighbor, but would live in peace and good will with all men. And no man would blaspheme his maker or profane his worship. But a rational and manly, a sincere and unaffected piety and devotion would reign in all hearts. What a utopia, what a paradise this region would be.”

From the beginning with the creation of the world, we have found order in the Lord’s plan. Thousands of years of history have testified to a consistency in his government as he directs the affairs of mankind. Just as surely as John Adams, we know the results of temperance, frugality, and industry. When they are discovered in the actions of man, wealth, prosperity, and abundance are the sure rewards for his efforts. Justice, kindness, and charity always produce peace, love and harmony. The results of gluttony, drunkenness, and lust are clearly predictable. They will surely destroy the temporal body. We also know of the effects of a weakened physical body on the functions of the mind. The destruction of one clearly has the same effect on the other. The results of stealing, lying and defrauding are also absolute. We know the waste of such activities as they literally rob us of our inheritance.

Some photo from Wikipedia. I just grab one of it. Classic and funny photo's. 

In Wikipedia, the term gluttony simply means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items, particularly as status symbols.

The Lord's law of Health as instructed in this latter-days is so clear that we should avoid things too much that our body can take. Refrain from some substances that were so harmful to our body. Listed are Coffee, Tea, Liquor, cigarette, and harmful drugs. This things are clear in our understanding that has a harmful effect to our health that gradually kills some organs or cause much problem to our health. 

In, conclusion. Our body is made of organized group of organs and cells that has it's individual purposes and life spans. Everything that was taken in to our body could kill it, if we take it carelessly. The cause is not instant, but it will softly destroys the system and its functions that eventually takes a man to lose its self-control of refraining, or to stop from being addicted to it. We should care for our body, and don't take this kind of habit too lightly that it eventually take over to one's minds and soul. Our temporal or Physical Body was bond on our Spirit and our spirit will rise with our body in resurrection and be judged according to our deeds if we're doing the right thing in this world, and that includes this subject. John 5:29 say - And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Immerse in scriptures

 

The Power of the Word by Ezra Taft Benson

“I am convinced that each of us, at least some time in our lives, must discover the scriptures for ourselves—and not just discover them once, but rediscover them again and again. …
“The Lord is not trifling with us when he gives us these things, for ‘unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.’ (Luke 12:48.) Access to these things means responsibility for them. We must study the scriptures according to the Lord’s commandment (see 3 Ne. 23:1–5); and we must let them govern our lives.” (Ensign, Sept. 1976, pp. 4–5.)

I'd posted one time somewhere in this blog about the importance of scripture study. Basically, this adds light into it. Just a simple thought from "Come, Follow Me" this week.

For they are Worthy

I posted this image on some Social Media, and I came up to think on something like "Will I be on his side, walking worthy with him?"

Existence of Christ: A response to Angel Ramos.

The issue still stuck to the nature of God and Christ's divinity as the Son of God the Eternal Father. It's not a surprise since there are a group of people who believe Christ as a mere human who was born only with human parents. The Jews hope for a Messiah to come and save them, but never accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah to save the people, (except for a few people who knows him so well). Angel Ramos referred Christ it to. Let's dive in and examine her text -

John 17:5 ” At ngayon, Ama, luwalhatiin mo ako sa iyo rin ng kaluwalhatiang aking TINAMO sa iyo BAGO ANG SANLIBUTAN AY GINAWA.”

See how the text is written, "with the glory which I had with thee before the world was". Christ's claims on his divine identity show that he was already with the father from the very beginning before the creation of this world. At this certain point, Christ asks the Father to glorify him since he is in a human form. No human could achieve the glory of God or his power with any transformations. So basically, Christ is asking the father to exceed from human form could endure to a glorified being. And in that case, this was done after the resurrection of his body. From mortality to immortality, and achieved exaltation. 

Kung tatanggapin natin ang kanilang maling pag-unawa sa talatang ito, lalabas na marami ang Diyos at lahat sila, maging si Apostol Pablo ay existido na bago pa lalangin ang sanlibutan:

And that's correct. Every spirit does exist before the world was created. When the plan of salvation was presented, we were their shouts for Joy that all of us will become like our father in heaven and the very reason of the creation. The Father was never alone from the beginning, He has families and we are all his spirit children.

“Kaya PINILI Niya tayo kay Cristo BAGO ANG SANLIBUTAN AY GINAWA upang maging banal at walang dungis sa harapan Niya sa pag-ibig ” [Efeso 1:4, New Jerusalem Bible]

So you're saying that we do exist before the world was created and deny that Christ was not there? If We are chosen before the world was created then it simply means we existed, our spirit existed with God as our Father. So was Christ also existed with us?

Ito ang katunayan kung bakit hindi ito maaring maging batayan ito ng ilan na sabihing existido na ang Cristo bago pa lalangin ang sanlibutan. Dahil si Cristo ay nasa isip pa lamang ng Diyos noong una:

1 Peter 1:20

” FOREKNOWN, indeed, BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, he has been manifested in the times for your sakes.” [Confraternity Version]

Good to know, shifting from different translations to justify your doctrine. Nice trick. But let get to that.

At tinamo niya ang kaluwalhatian bago pa likhain ang sanlibutan sapagkat sa kaparehong paraan kung paano pinili ng Diyos ang mga Cristiano, ay gayong paraan rin Siya pinili ng Diyos:

Ephesians 1:5

” God PLANNED long ago that we become His Own sons through Jesus Christ. This would please God; it is what He wanted.” [Simple English Bible]

Siya ay pinili na ng Diyos o itinadhana na buhat sa pasimula:

If you're talking about the Plan of God, Yes! it is right. He was chosen before the foundation of the world. So he does exist, the word chosen is an actual existence, not a knowledge that was only based on plans. God could simply choose whoever he wants if this were just done in his mind. But to think it that way, there's no need for the plan of salvation to be presented, there's no need of prophets where he knows and it's already predicted. God could just simply manipulate everything that will happen and controls it since everything was already foreknown as the author says. But the freedom to choose was there and which means everything is not controlled by just one being. We are not manipulated and we have the right to choose God or the opposite. So the plan has been made and there's the ground we're standing to follow it and Christ has been the example of us.

“He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake.” [1 Pedro 1:20 Revised Standard Bible]

Using this version will contradict the former. We could see their doctrine is so absurd. Picking up which version was right and just select some parts could lead you to confusion. In dictionary term the word destined means "to designate, assign, or dedicate in advance" which mean, there is someone or something that already exist and was assigned in a specific calling or mission.

Hindi ito nangangahulugang existido na si Cristo noon pang pasimula, ito ay nangangahulugan lamang na siya ay isang plano na bago panahon ng paglalang.

And how are you gonna twist that? The version you using simply defines what it is and yet you still insisted on your understanding of the existence of Christ? The "Word, was God" take note of the word "WAS" which means it's already there. It never said "The Word will be" or Soon after it was born.

Sapagkat si Cristo ay naging existido lamang nang ipanganak siya ni Maria:

Galacia 4:4

” Datapuwa’t nang dumating ang kapanahunan, ay sinugo ng Dios ang kaniyang Anak, na ipinanganak ng isang babae, na ipinanganak sa ilalim ng kautusan “

And there it is, "SINUGO" how are you gonna send someone or choose someone to be or be born, if that someone or being has never existed? What kind of Doctrine was that?

Mateo 1:18

” Ang pagkapanganak nga kay Jesucristo ay ganito: Nang si Maria na kaniyang ina ay magaasawa kay Jose, bago sila magsama ay nasumpungang siya’y nagdadalang-tao sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo. “

And I don't see how relevant this verse is to the topic. Maybe because he was born as a human child.

The Gospel—The One-Man Power.

It's been circulating around the web about Brigham Young's Discourse of an inhabited Moon and Sun. So here's a complete talk and see how it all been said. I'll make an article regarding this topic.

https://earthsky.org/space/2nd-exoplanet-confirmed-proxima-centauri

Discourse by President Brigham Young

delivered in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, July 24, 1870.
Reported By: David W. Evans.

Short sermons are very frequently interesting, if the speaker can say what he wishes to say from the time he commences to speak until the end.

But most of us who are public speakers labor under timidity, and experience that lack of the governing and controlling principle which prevents our doing this. I notice this in almost every public speaker I hear. It is seldom that a speaker can arise and deliver his thoughts and reflections readily, unless his speech and subject have been studied and fixed previously. For my part, as far as my public speaking is concerned, I do not know that I ever troubled myself to take thought beforehand of what I should say. Matt. 10:19 Mark 13:11 There have been times in my life that I have been led to lecture on certain principles, and on such occasions my mind would be confined to those principles alone, consequently my subject would be before me more immediately. But upon rising to address the people I trust in Him from whom we all derive the power of thought and reflection, and I strive to express my reflections acceptably to God and to my hearers.

The Gospel, whose principles we have been hearing about this morning, is the Gospel that every Christian professes to believe in. I do not know of a Christian but what will admit that the Bible is true; then where is the difference between the Latter-day Saints and the various Christian sects that dwell on the earth? The difference is that we believe enough to obey; while they believe just enough to acknowledge but not to obey.

If there be one principle in this Gospel that we preach that is not perfectly true, we would like some divine to make us acquainted with the fact; and prove by principles of true philosophy wherein it is not true, or wherein it is injurious to those who believe it. We believe that every principle that God has revealed to the children of men is strictly true, and absolutely beneficial to the life of every intelligent being that dwells upon the whole earth. We have come to this conclusion, for we have tried to learn and understand and to carry out in our lives the principles of the Gospel that we believe in, and if we sum them up, in a few words, we might, with the strictest propriety, use the words of one anciently, and say that the Gospel is “peace on earth, and good will to men.” Luke 2:14 We can also say truly that this is eternal life to know the only wise God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. John 17:3 But when we examine the faith and acknowledgements of the Christian world we find that, with all their professions, they are involved in midnight darkness concerning the true nature and character of God. Is there a divine on the face of the whole earth who can give you or me any description of the Being that the whole Christian world worship as God? There is not. Where is the proof of this assertion? I am a witness; their writings are witnesses; their sermons are witnesses; their declarations are witnesses. Yet this book, the Bible, portrays the character of God, the Father of our spirits, Heb. 12:9 and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Cor. 11:31 just as clearly as any work ever written by man portrays the shape, nature, construction, and constitution of the human frame. If this is so, why do not the Christian world believe in it? The Latter-day Saints do believe enough of it to try and carry it out in their practice.

What do we believe about the faith that Jesus revealed? He said a great deal with regard to life and salvation. His Apostles wrote and taught after him, and the Gospel was among the children of men from the days of Adam until the coming of the Messiah; this Gospel of Christ is from the beginning to the end. Then why was the law of Moses given? Just answer the question! In consequence of the disobedience of the children of Israel, the elect of God; D&C 84:34 the very seed that He had selected to be His people, and upon whom He said He would place His name. This seed of Abraham so rebelled against Him and His commands that the Lord said to Moses, “I will give you a law which shall be a schoolmaster to bring them to Christ.” Gal. 3:24 But this law is grievous; it is a law of carnal commandments. D&C 84:27 Still it will be hard for any divine that now lives to draw the line between the law of carnal commandments and the law of divine commandments. I have not seen them who can do it.

I ask what is the nature of our religion? Why, it is “peace on earth, and good will to men” Luke 2:14 in every particular; and if its precepts be observed it will fill society with peace, joy, wealth, beauty, and excellence; it lifts man above the things of earth, gives him the philosophy of eternity, and shows the works of God in all their glory and magnitude, and leads the mind of the creature to admire and worship the Creator. Is this the fact? Certainly it is. I have not found anything in my religion that will do harm to any creature on the face of the earth. I have not found errors in our religion. Are there errors in the people? O yes, plenty of them. I recollect a gentleman from Philadelphia who was tarrying in this city for the benefit of his health, but was called home on business, who said he believed the Bible and believed all, as far as he had learned, with regard to the doctrines of the Latter-day Saints. Said he, one day, when visiting me for the last time, “Mr. Young, am I to understand that you consider yourselves perfect?” I said to him, “Such an idea with regard to us is a mistaken one, and if you entertain it you have not got the matter placed correctly in your mind. Let me correct you, so that when at home you may meditate upon it. The doctrine that we preach is perfect; but our lives are very imperfect. To say that a human being is perfect, that he has no errors, would say that he is divine—a God or a holy angel. But we are in a world of sin and darkness, a world that knows not God; in a world where error dwells and reigns supreme. Now,” said I, “remember this. The doctrine that we preach is from God; this doctrine is pure and holy; it is without spot or blemish; and it is the doctrine of the Son of God, the Savior of the world.” Is it good for man here? Certainly it is—the best that can be given to any beings on the earth; to organize a society, to rule a family, to dictate and control scholars at school, to rule, govern, and control an individual, a community, a nation or kingdom, it is the very best code of principles and laws ever delivered to the children of men. In all my researches into the doctrine of Jesus I have never found an error.

It has been observed here this morning that we are called fanatics. Bless me! That is nothing. Who has not been called a fanatic who has discovered anything new in philosophy or science? We have all read of Galileo the astronomer who, contrary to the system of astronomy that had been received for ages before his day, taught that the sun, and not the earth, was the center of our planetary system? For this the learned astronomer was called “fanatic,” and subjected to persecution and imprisonment of the most rigorous character. So it has been with others who have discovered and explained new truths in science and philosophy which have been in opposition to long-established theories; and the opposition they have encountered has endured until the truth of their discoveries has been demonstrated by time. The term “fanatic” is not applied to professors of religion only. How was it with Dr. Morse, when shut up in the attic of an old building in Baltimore for more than a year, with a little wire stretched round the room, experimenting upon it with his battery, he told a friend that by means of that he could sit there and talk to Congress in Washington? Was he not considered a fanatic, and wild, and crazy? Certainly he was; and so it was with Robert Fulton, when he was conducting his experiments with steam and endeavoring to apply it so as to propel a vessel through the water. And all great discoverers in art, science, or mechanism have been denounced as fanatics and crazy; and it has been declared by their contemporaries that they did not know what they were saying, and they were thought to be almost as wild and incoherent as the generality of the people now think George Francis Train to be.

I will tell you who the real fanatics are: they are they who adopt false principles and ideas as facts, and try to establish a superstructure upon a false foundation. They are the fanatics; and however ardent and zealous they may be, they may reason or argue on false premises till doomsday, and the result will be false. If our religion is of this character we want to know it; we would like to find a philosopher who can prove it to us. We are called ignorant; so we are: but what of it? Are not all ignorant? I rather think so. Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon? When we view its face we may see what is termed, “the man in the moon,” and what some philosophers declare are the shadows of mountains. But these sayings are very vague, and amount to nothing; and when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fellows. So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized. D&C 130:9 Every planet in its first rude, organic state receives not the glory of God upon it, but is opaque; but when celestialized, every planet that God brings into existence is a body of light, but not till then. Christ is the light of this planet. D&C 88:7-10 God gives light to our eyes. D&C 88:11 Did you ever think who gave you the power of seeing? Who organized these little globules in our heads, and formed the nerves running to the brain, and gave us the power of distinguishing a circle from a square, an upright from a level, large from small, white from black, brown from gray, and so on? Did you acquire this faculty by your own power? Did any of you impart this power to me or I to you? Not at all. Then where did we get it from? From a superior Being. When I think of these few little things with regard to the organization of the earth and the people of the earth, how curious and how singular it is! And yet how harmonious and beautiful are Nature's laws! And the work of God goes forward, and who can hinder it, or who can stay His hand now that He has commenced His kingdom?

This brings us right back to this Gospel. God has commenced His kingdom on the earth. How intricate it is, and how difficult for a man to understand if he be not enlightened by the Spirit of God! How can we understand it? O, we have nothing to do but to humble ourselves and get the spirit of the Lord by being born of the water and of the Spirit; then we can enter into it. John 3:5 How is it if we are not born of the Spirit? Can the natural man behold the things of God? He cannot, for they are discerned spiritually 1 Cor. 2:14by the Spirit of the Almighty, and if we have not this Spirit within us we cannot understand the things of God. 1 Cor. 2:11 But the most simple thing in the world to understand is the work of the Lord. What shall we do? Divest ourselves of great, big “Mr. I.” Let him fall at the feet of good sound reason. What next? Humble ourselves before the Lord and receive the truth as He has revealed it, then we will be born of the Spirit. Then if we wish further blessings, be born of the water; then, if we wish further blessings, receive the laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost; and if we wish still further blessings, live by every word that proceeds out of His mouth, Matt. 4:4 that is spoken from the heavens, then things will be brought to our remembrance by the Comforter that Jesus promised his disciples, John 14:26which should show them things past, present, and to come. John 16:13 This is the Gospel as we believe it. Is there any harm in it? Not the least in the world. Should we not obey it? We should. Should we not obey the requirements of Heaven? Certainly we should. Would it be the least injurious to the human family to receive the Gospel of the Son of God, and to have the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 2:5to rule over them? Not at all; but, on the contrary, it would fill them with peace, joy, love, kindness, and intelligence. Would the principles of the Gospel, if obeyed, teach us to control ourselves? They would. They will teach men and women to govern and control their own passions. You very frequently hear it said, “Such a man or woman has too much temper.” This is a mistaken idea. No person on earth has too much of this article. But do we not frequently see the evil conduct of people through allowing their passions and tempers to have full control of them? Certainly we do. What is the difficulty? We want the spirit, knowledge, power and principle within us to govern and control our tempers; there is no danger of having too much if we will only control them by the Spirit of the Almighty. Every intelligent being on the earth is tempered for glory, beauty, excellency, and knowledge here, and for immortality and eternal lives in the worlds to come. But every being who attains to this must be sanctified before God and be completely under the control of His Spirit. If I am thus controlled by the Spirit of the Most High I am a king, I am supreme so far as the control of self is concerned; and it also enables me to control my wives and children. And when they thus see that I am under the government and control of the Good Spirit, they will be perfectly submissive to my dictates. They feel and say, “Yes, father, or husband, certainly, you never require anything that is wrong; I have learned that long ago. Your judgment and discretion and the power of thought and reflection in you are sufficient; you know what is right.” And if I could extend this power I could reign supreme, not only over my family and friends, but also over my neighbors and the people all around me. Could the spirit of error, hatred and wickedness perform this? No, it can be accomplished only by means of the meek and humble spirit of the Lord Jesus. Matt. 11:29 If an individual is filled with that, it makes him a perfect monarch over himself, and it will give him influence over all who will hearken to his counsel. What a pity it would be, in the estimation of the wicked and corrupt, if any man on the earth really did possess this power! Suppose that Napoleon, for instance, was actually filled with the power of God to that degree that the whole people of France would love him as much as a child ever loved a parent, because they knew every word he uttered was full of wisdom and would produce health, wealth, joy and peace among all classes; would elevate the suffering poor—those in need and distress, fill them with knowledge and wisdom and give them the good things of life, why, there would be a general outcry against him, and he would be denounced because of the exercise of the “one-man power!” But let him be a devil and rule with an iron rod, a tyrant's hand, and take off heads every day by the score or hundred, and there would not be a word said against him! Let the good I have referred to be brought about, as it would be, under the rule and government of Heaven, and the ruler would be called a tyrant. But this is the way to rule, no matter what the inhabitants and the wise men and philosophers of the earth may think; and the time will come when this earth will be revolutionized by these principles, and when through their influence war, dissension, hatred, malice, and persecution will cease among the children of men and when there will be a universal reign of peace and righteousness. Suppose we live to see it! We shall all be of one heart and one mind, Moses 7:18 shall we not? I will here ask, for my own satisfaction, what will you do, Mr. Politician, when there is no division at the polls, but when the cry will be, from one end of the earth to the other, “We want one man only, but the best that can be found for this office; this is the only man we want?” Your occupation will be gone about that time. Will there be wars in those days? No, they will be done away. Any contentions then? No, all will be peace. Bickering and strife will have passed away, and a better spirit will have taken possession of the minds of the people, and they will be peaceful, joyous, kind and full of benevolence, and the general feeling will be, “Friend, what can I do for you? Brother, how can I do you good?” or, “Sister, can I add to your comfort, or make any addition to your joy and peace here on the earth?” You and I are looking for this day. Let me ask the poor miserable apostate, the hater of God and righteousness, “Do you not think that will be one-man power?” I reckon it will. That is what leading men everywhere are after now, not only in this country, but in every other; they are all scrambling after it, and they are mad because they cannot get it.

I think I will take the liberty of relating a little circumstance which was related to me. Whether it is a fact or not I cannot say. Some of our good government officers here inquired of a man from the Southern part of the Territory: “Do you know Brigham?” “Yes, I know him very well.” “Do you not know that he is trying to influence the election?” “No, I never heard anything about it.” “Can't you make oath that he has always guided and influenced the elections in this Territory?” The man said, “No, I am not well enough acquainted with him nor with politics to know anything about it.” I laughed heartily inside at the poor miserable fools when I heard this. Why, yes, I would govern and control the elections of the earth if I desired and could; certainly I would, and help yourselves the best way you can! Bless my heart, who don't do it? The poor creatures! Isn't that what they are after? Would not they do it if they could? I can govern and control the Latter-day Saints, not by the iron hand, but by the principles of true government—the principles of our religion, which, in their very nature, are bound to make those who will be guided by them healthy, wealthy and wise. I think we are doing our best at it; and I also think that we will go on and be successful in this good work in spite of earth and hell.

I say God speed everybody that is for freedom and equal rights! I am with you. Whom do we want to fill our public offices? We want the best men that we can find for governor, president, and statesmen, and for every other office of trust and responsibility; and when we have obtained them, we will pray for them and give them our faith and influence to do the will of God and to preserve themselves and the people in truth and righteousness. I have talked as long as time will allow. God bless you. Amen.

Doctrine and Covenants 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded July 12, 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant and the principle of plural marriage. Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, evidence indicates that some of the principles involved in this revelation were known by the Prophet as early as 1831. See Official Declaration 1.

1–6, Exaltation is gained through the new and everlasting covenant; 7–14, The terms and conditions of that covenant are set forth; 15–20, Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods; 21–25, The strait and narrow way leads to eternal lives; 26–27, The law is given relative to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; 28–39, Promises of eternal increase and exaltation are made to prophets and Saints in all ages; 40–47, Joseph Smith is given the power to bind and seal on earth and in heaven; 48–50, The Lord seals upon him his exaltation; 51–57, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing plural marriage are set forth.

1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines—

2 Behold, and lo, I am the Lord thy God, and will answer thee as touching this matter.

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

4 For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory.

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

6 And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God.

7 And verily I say unto you, that the conditions of this law are these: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, of him who is anointed, both as well for time and for all eternity, and that too most holy, by revelation and commandment through the medium of mine anointed, whom I have appointed on the earth to hold this power (and I have appointed unto my servant Joseph to hold this power in the last days, and there is never but one on the earth at a time on whom this power and the keys of this priesthood are conferred), are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead; for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead.

8 Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.

9 Will I accept of an offering, saith the Lord, that is not made in my name?

10 Or will I receive at your hands that which I have not appointed?

11 And will I appoint unto you, saith the Lord, except it be by law, even as I and my Father ordained unto you, before the world was?

12 I am the Lord thy God; and I give unto you this commandment—that no man shall come unto the Father but by me or by my word, which is my law, saith the Lord.

13 And everything that is in the world, whether it be ordained of men, by thrones, or principalities, or powers, or things of name, whatsoever they may be, that are not by me or by my word, saith the Lord, shall be thrown down, and shall not remain after men are dead, neither in nor after the resurrection, saith the Lord your God.

14 For whatsoever things remain are by me; and whatsoever things are not by me shall be shaken and destroyed.

15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world.

16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.

17 For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.

18 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that covenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.

19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever.

20 Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them.

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

22 For strait is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.

23 But if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that where I am ye shall be also.

24 This is eternal lives—to know the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law.

25 Broad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the deaths; and many there are that go in thereat, because they receive me not, neither do they abide in my law.

26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man marry a wife according to my word, and they are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, according to mine appointment, and he or she shall commit any sin or transgression of the new and everlasting covenant whatever, and all manner of blasphemies, and if they commit no murder wherein they shed innocent blood, yet they shall come forth in the first resurrection, and enter into their exaltation; but they shall be destroyed in the flesh, and shall be delivered unto the buffetings of Satan unto the day of redemption, saith the Lord God.

27 The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall not be forgiven in the world nor out of the world, is in that ye commit murder wherein ye shed innocent blood, and assent unto my death, after ye have received my new and everlasting covenant, saith the Lord God; and he that abideth not this law can in nowise enter into my glory, but shall be damned, saith the Lord.

28 I am the Lord thy God, and will give unto thee the law of my Holy Priesthood, as was ordained by me and my Father before the world was.

29 Abraham received all things, whatsoever he received, by revelation and commandment, by my word, saith the Lord, and hath entered into his exaltation and sitteth upon his throne.

30 Abraham received promises concerning his seed, and of the fruit of his loins—from whose loins ye are, namely, my servant Joseph—which were to continue so long as they were in the world; and as touching Abraham and his seed, out of the world they should continue; both in the world and out of the world should they continue as innumerable as the stars; or, if ye were to count the sand upon the seashore ye could not number them.

31 This promise is yours also, because ye are of Abraham, and the promise was made unto Abraham; and by this law is the continuation of the works of my Father, wherein he glorifieth himself.

32 Go ye, therefore, and do the works of Abraham; enter ye into my law and ye shall be saved.

33 But if ye enter not into my law ye cannot receive the promise of my Father, which he made unto Abraham.

34 God commanded Abraham, and Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham to wife. And why did she do it? Because this was the law; and from Hagar sprang many people. This, therefore, was fulfilling, among other things, the promises.

35 Was Abraham, therefore, under condemnation? Verily I say unto you, Nay; for I, the Lord, commanded it.

36 Abraham was commanded to offer his son Isaac; nevertheless, it was written: Thou shalt not kill. Abraham, however, did not refuse, and it was accounted unto him for righteousness.

37 Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness, because they were given unto him, and he abode in my law; as Isaac also and Jacob did none other things than that which they were commanded; and because they did none other things than that which they were commanded, they have entered into their exaltation, according to the promises, and sit upon thrones, and are not angels but are gods.

38 David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me.

39 David’s wives and concubines were given unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the keys of this power; and in none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I gave them unto another, saith the Lord.

40 I am the Lord thy God, and I gave unto thee, my servant Joseph, an appointment, and restore all things. Ask what ye will, and it shall be given unto you according to my word.

41 And as ye have asked concerning adultery, verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man receiveth a wife in the new and everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy anointing, she hath committed adultery and shall be destroyed.

42 If she be not in the new and everlasting covenant, and she be with another man, she has committed adultery.

43 And if her husband be with another woman, and he was under a vow, he hath broken his vow and hath committed adultery.

44 And if she hath not committed adultery, but is innocent and hath not broken her vow, and she knoweth it, and I reveal it unto you, my servant Joseph, then shall you have power, by the power of my Holy Priesthood, to take her and give her unto him that hath not committed adultery but hath been faithful; for he shall be made ruler over many.

45 For I have conferred upon you the keys and power of the priesthood, wherein I restore all things, and make known unto you all things in due time.

46 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that whatsoever you seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever you bind on earth, in my name and by my word, saith the Lord, it shall be eternally bound in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you remit on earth shall be remitted eternally in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you retain on earth shall be retained in heaven.

47 And again, verily I say, whomsoever you bless I will bless, and whomsoever you curse I will acurse, saith the Lord; for I, the Lord, am thy God.

48 And again, verily I say unto you, my servant Joseph, that whatsoever you give on earth, and to whomsoever you give any one on earth, by my word and according to my law, it shall be visited with blessings and not cursings, and with my power, saith the Lord, and shall be without condemnation on earth and in heaven.

49 For I am the Lord thy God, and will be with thee even unto the end of the world, and through all eternity; for verily I seal upon you your exaltation, and prepare a throne for you in the kingdom of my Father, with Abraham your father.

50 Behold, I have seen your sacrifices, and will forgive all your sins; I have seen your sacrifices in obedience to that which I have told you. Go, therefore, and I make a way for your escape, as I accepted the offering of Abraham of his son Isaac.

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to prove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, receive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been faithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and cleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an hundred-fold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of eternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid forgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to rejoice.

57 And again, I say, let not my servant Joseph put his property out of his hands, lest an enemy come and destroy him; for Satan seeketh to destroy; for I am the Lord thy God, and he is my servant; and behold, and lo, I am with him, as I was with Abraham, thy father, even unto his exaltation and glory.

58 Now, as touching the law of the priesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.

59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was Aaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that sent me, and I have endowed him with the keys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit sin, and I will justify him.

60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.

61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.

62 And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.

63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be glorified.

64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.

65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take Hagar to wife.

66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.

Chastisement

If Chastisement is the key to Repent. It's better to be Chastised than to remain unforgiven. - Jerry N. Bustillo

Jasher's Art

OSAS: Once Saved Always Saved? Part 1

Just want to make a good commentary on this one. I don't know how many of our Christian friends agree with this kind of teaching. For me, I would like to make some corrections or maybe clarification on such understanding. I would not make a direct answer, but I will try to use scripture how everything goes about it.

I. Understanding the word BELIEVE.

Most quoted scripture in a common Christendom is the scripture fund in John 3:16 which read -

16 ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Was this an exact teaching about salvation? Does it refers to always saved? Maybe or maybe there's something we need to think about. I wouldn't not prefer quoting some old Greek C1 writings just to make any claim. I'll make it more simple for general viewers. Yes, it was Christ that we should believe for our salvation and it was thought him that we will be save. Does it mean all Christian believers what ever teachings they believe are already save? We should consider that Christ died for the world and not to a specific religion. So, what happens here was that, if all Christian believers who understand this words are saved already, nothing more nothing less, period.

But, if you will not continue reading 'til verse 17, you will never notice how the authors wants us to learn about Christ and the things we should do.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Did you get it? I'm sure you did. Here what I'm trying to point out - "MIGHT BE saved".

The word Might is a Modal Verb and here's some defination - 

" used to express the possibility that something will happen or be done, or that something is true although not very likely:"

Which mean, there are possibilities of salvation or else no salvation at all. And the word "Might" also suggest that there are things needed or thing that supposed to be done for salvation.

Continuing reading will help you understand what's it all about. Here's the part of it and see how it goes - 

20 For every one that DOETH EVIL hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that DOETH TRUTH cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The words in capital might cought our attention. Either of this two, Do evil or to do Good. Of course, we want salvation so we do that things for goodness sake. And there are lots of good things to work out.

And in my conclusion, believing in Christ need to do things that the Lord would want us to do in order for us to be save. We MIGHT be damn if we are doing things contrary to his will. Working out something for our salvation is the basic part of believing in Christ and having faith in him.

Responding Carmen B. Stiller - Christ as God

He keep his Bones.

Scriptural chains - understanding how the Prophecy fulfilled the Lord God keep his Bones and none of it are broken even if he carries a burden and dies for us.

Psalm 34

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Fulfilled in -

John 19

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

The God who kept his bone was prophesied or mention in the Psalmist Song, is the same being that was put to death for the sins of the world.

I could write a review on this one time. It's a good book. Though must of Non-LDS quotes some of it trying to make any misleading information. I will be adding this one soon with my commentary on it. 

About the INC: LINKS

Found this link and I don't know if this helpful. I don't want to exposed something about the belief or faith of INC members or the church. I just want to be in the neutral ground. But this is too much, INC even in social media are so hostile. They would do anything they want to silence you even it means harming you physically. This is not God's Message and this would just simply says negative side of INC Religion. Anyway, check on the link about it and comment down if you think this is helpful or not. Thank you.

Some time ago, when Facebook allowed notes on a page https://www.facebook.com/notes/660241078259868
Unedited text below since I could no longer access this page -

Galilee Wonderland

I saw his face and it flashes away,
the memories of him that guides my way.
It's hard to find him in an empty space,
Such Sea of Galilee seek peace a place.

I wonder, how he knows me more than I?
I think he doesn't as I wonder why?
Such reason, how his foot walks on water?
I think it's not, How things could be alter?

I stop on wondering, how it could be.
when they told me he was hang on a tree.
I ask, why he wouldn't leave and have some fun?
Is there's such, as Galilee Wonderland?

INC Fundamental-Belief Under the Microscope: Episode 1

What do you Remember?

One of the Greatest gift that God has given us was the opportunity to receive salvation and exaltation. We never knew why He allows His son to sacrifice for the sake of that plan. It was the most remarkable, and the most important thing that happen in the entire history, and yet it was all forgotten. Christ has instructed us to remember him always. And in honor of his atoning sacrifice, we too must always remember him by partaking of the sacrament.

You will NEVER be a god?

Modesty

I read a post in an LDS Circle that I believed to be true. It described someone acting immodestly while being observed, and then portraying themselves as a victim.

While this post got it's attention and was spreading from group to group or to page. I found something much earlier in a similar words usages.

 

Some word might be added in the latter post. Possibly it was, but actually the message hasn't changed. The value of one divine identity or nature should reflect on their behavior and of course the way they respect their body.

Note: this was updated this year 2025 for some reason while scrolling on the Facebook. 😂😂😂 LOL!

Journal Entry: Why do we Celebrate Christmas?

Why do we Celebrate Christmas?
Thought history of church declaration. Revelation was given through Joseph Smith as most of the latter-day knew it, the Savior was Born contradicting the world's traditions. And why we celebrate?

There are some reasons why we adopted this tradition. And those were-

• Special Gathering, Christmas season is a perfect celebration on gathering, get together with, and have a happy time together.
• Other reason was the Love we experienced on the time we were Together and service towards those who are needy.

I would like to extend an invitation to continue the spirit of Christmas everyday. The joy we experience in incomparable.

I know that God extended his Love to us during the time when he was to give His son into the world as a sacrifice for us to save us from sin and death. His blood symbolizes his commitments, his sacrifices and his love for us.

Charity and Love is the essence of Christmas. We can prove that we are more Christlike if we keep our commitment to love each other and serve each other. We can be more Christlike if we show simple attribute of giving and sharing.

Brothers and sisters, as the scriptures says to gain such charity and love, ask for it through Prayer. Pray always to gain the pure love of Christ, that through this The joy of the season will extend the entire year of our lifetime.

I bare my testimony that God is love and He is our Father.

23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.

35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

Did you get it now Facebook? So, why did you mark it as offensive when I received a lot of negative comments AD HOMINIMS fallacy, and other hate speech? And yet, I'm the offender. Do you really review each comment or just pick up something which was filtered automatically as harassment?

This comment was posted
in some of the group
that says something about
Bible's weird stories.
I made my comments about it
and as a result.
It's against Facebook Policy. 

It was marked as Bullying. 😳!!!
I didn't see that coming.
Anyway, emojis or maybe the word talking donkey
is a type of Bullying,
but I don't know how come it is. 🤔?

Darker Me

I never said I am good; I only wish I were. But I think everyone has their own weakness and dark side. Maybe I am even more worse and darker. Stick to your own, and I will do mine. - Jerry N. Bustillo Judgmental Critical

Christ was born in Bethlehem or Jerusalem?

Alma 7:10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, (at) Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

Who's He and Him?

Did Moses and some others saw God visibly?

The scripture taught us that Moses saw God face to face.

Exodus 24

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

CONFLICT -

While in New Testament, it was clearly taught that no man, could ever saw God visibly and lived. It even directly points the time where Moses talked to him and received instructions for the people. 

John 1

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, HE hath declared HIM.

SOLVING THE PUZZLE -

Yes, Moses saw it, but John says no he didn't -

The solution is, read it carefully and understand how it says -

1. No man hath seen God at any time;

2. the only begotten Son (Christ),

3. which is in the bosom of the Father, (who was with the Father)

4. HE (which is Christ as stated)

5. hath declared HIM (Moses as the subject in verse 17).

Now read it again John 1:18, the second or third or on and on, then you'll see the answer.

Did you figure it out already? Christ was there before we knew him in the New Testament. The words that Moses received was his.

Classic quote still worth living

While reading some passages in a "Come Follow Me - Book of Mormon" study. I came up to one of the old favorite scripture verse. Yes it is worth as a Christian Believer. This reminds me of my missionary days.

Mean People that doesn't have anything to prove.

I found someone in a group who posted some poor memes about false Mormonism claims. I don't know why these people were so mean about LDS beliefs. So, I decided to contact him and ask him to have a simple and direct discussion. And to my surprise, he couldn't claim anything; he didn't even answer a simple question, rather throwing it back. So, assuming I claim it as false, then suddenly he ended it as if there was nothing to discuss. And the worst thing is, he claims it as a finale of my said claim, posting it to his wall. Why are this type of people still exist?

Here is our discussion; see for yourself -

How important is Faith and Work in Salvation?

Kung Ako ay Dios

Kung ako ay dios,
Uubosin ko lahat ng masasama
Hindi ko Pahihirapan ang mahihirap
Pagyayamanin ko lahat ng mga Tao

Kung Ako ay dios
Iisa lang ang paniniwala
Walang pag-aaway-away
Walang Debate sa Reliheyon.

Kung Ako ay dios,
Lahat ng bagay na may pinagmulan
Ay nakatala ng maayos.
Walang ibang Lahi at ibang Wika
Lahat ay Mamuhay na pantay.

Hindi ko nakikita ang mga bagay na iyon,
Malamang dahil hindi ako dios.

Building Bridges

It's so fascinating to see a group of religious leaders are working together for the greater good. Religion is not the reason to keep us apart in Service and Love. Rather, it should be a reason to set an example to others that Christ wants us to be happy, peaceful and respect others belief.

Philippines Green Butterfly

It was my Son Jasher who caught it, and this butterfly seems like it's on the run. She's tired and stressed out, and may not be too long shell passes out.

We just have a few minutes to take a video of her, and I don't know if she could still fly. Still, we have to let it go. We don't know if it survives.

Jasher thought that maybe some birds tried to eat her since some parts of her wings were damaged. Still, Nature has its own way; we leave it in the wild, not knowing what happens to it.
