Today I was asked for my thoughts on this video – here they
are!
Okay - thoughts – it
is a good presentation – like many others – similar – however strikingly being generic
– much was left out that is most important.
First and foremost they forgot to say who we're to love
first! First, we love Heavenly Father and His Only Begotten Son! Second, we
love ourselves as our neighbors! Now back to the first - if you love Heavenly
Father and His Only Begotten Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior - then you'll
keep all of their Commandments! You'll believe them literally - and thus you'll
believe those who speak with their authority on their behalf - their Prophets
and Apostles - all of them - those from the past and those called and alive
today.
The movie left all of this out! In order to do this one
must make choices - either to be worldly or not! For none can have two masters.
God our Heavenly Father and His Son - are not Gods of confusion - the
Scriptures are quite clear on this. Therefore there are not many churches - if
so then the Gospel would not be found on this earth today. As Paul testified
and all of the Prophets and Apostles - that there would be an apostasy - an
apostasy means a falling away from the truth - Gnosis! What would be left is
Logismoi! Or other words - man's wisdom of rhetoric - a mixture of lies and a
little bit of truth.
Thus, if one chooses to believe that the above is not the
case - they can love all they want - they can do whatever they want - but they
will not be completely following the Commandments of the Father or the Son.
They'll be good people - which is why Paul explained the three (3) degrees of
Glory that all living will someday attain - either Terrestrial - Telestial - or
The Celestial - then within each Kingdom there are different levels - or
Kingdoms within Kingdoms. Yet only in the Celestial at the highest degree of
Glory will one find the eternal family of which the Prophets and the Savior
taught about and still do today. Remember the Savior said, "In my Father's
house there are many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you," why
mansions if all we're going to be is spirit without a body of flesh and bone
like the Savior had at his resurrection and when he ascended into heaven?
One must understand they'll only believe what they want
to believe - and all of the churches in the world - only one teaches this
principle of eternal life - as a family unit for time and all eternity - but
all of the Prophets understood this then and those alive today.
As to Prophets and Apostles - not one - zero ever called
themselves to be a Prophet or Apostle - then as now it is the same. If there
are Prophets and Apostles on this earth today - they have to have been called
by the Savior! I testify that there is a living Prophet on this earth today -
why, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in it's fullness as
so many in their repetitive 'Lord's Prayer' pray for - 'Thy kingdom come' - if
the Kingdom hasn't been restored - then the King cannot come!
Our day is no different than any other dispensation where
the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been on this earth - even to the point where
they've murdered the Prophet of this last dispensation - they've murdered
Apostles - and most of all they've murdered - raped - women and children as
well as men who've followed the Prophet of this dispensation. They were forced
out of Ohio, Missouri, Illinois across the mid-West into the Rocky Mountains as
have always been the true followers of the Savior and those called by Him!
Newspapers, churches, courts screamed for their blood - and even today they're
attacked - not with the associated open violence - but still the same - as to
how their treated - maybe Charles Dickens said it best, "It's not what
they do that's so appalling - but it's what they say - believing in Angels,
Revelation, Miracles in the day of railroad trains."
The thoughts are always the same - but few listen which
is fine - each has their agency to be in the world - or a follower of the
Savior - as Samuel said long ago, 'But for me and my family we'll follow the
Lord!'
“Thoughts”

Amid the gray
matter
occupying my mind
over and over
screams
why can’t they
listen
why can’t they
test
why can’t they
taste
sweetness in the
word
literally
understanding
what the world
denies
my thoughts weary
repeated over and
over
coring the apple
again
fingers trembling
often
inadequately
typing
tears falling in darkness
feelings exposed
to air
failing strength
to express
truth in all its plainness
taxing my mind to
find
words more
understanding
amid gray matter
of mind!
