16, Exaltation is gained through the new and everlasting covenant; 714, The terms and conditions of that covenant are set forth; 1520, Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods; 2125, The strait and narrow way leads to eternal lives; 2627, The law is given relative to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; 2839, Promises of eternal increase and exaltation are made to prophets and Saints in all ages; 4047, Joseph Smith is given the power to bind and seal on earth and in heaven; 4850, The Lord seals upon him his exaltation; 5157, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true; 5866, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
16Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in amarriage; but are appointed angels in bheaven, which angels are ministering cservants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.
17For 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 aangels of God forever and ever.
18And 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 acovenant 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.
19And again, verily I say unto you, if a man amarry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and beverlasting covenant, and it is csealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of dpromise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the ekeys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto themYe shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit fthrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depthsthen shall it be written in the Lambs gBook of Life, that he shall commit no hmurder whereby to shed innocent iblood, 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 jexaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the kseeds forever and ever.
20 Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from aeverlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be bgods, because they have call power, and the angels are subject unto them.
21Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my alaw ye cannot attain to this glory.
22For astrait is the gate, and narrow the bway that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the clives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.
23But if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that awhere I am ye shall be also.
24This is aeternal livesto bknow the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath csent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law.
25aBroad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the bdeaths; and many there are that go in thereat, because they creceive me not, neither do they abide in my law.
1843?
Did you forget to include the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" (1857)?
Gee, I don't suppose you can come up with any examples of Mormons who follow, advance and preach Smith's words and tenets (LITERALLY) today?
No doubt you have some quotes by Mitt Romney which shows he support Smith's declarations and adheres thereto?
BTW, said Greeting is RESERVED for Muslims to other Muslims ONLY!
I have KNOWN Islam on 3 Continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed THAT EXPERIENCE GUIDES MY CONVICTION!
To George Stephanapolous: Your absolutely right in that John McCain has not talked about MY MUSLIM FAITH!
We will convey our DEEP APPRECIATION for the Islamic Faith which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world
I would like to speak directly to the people and leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran:
Your GREAT AND CELEBRATED CULTURE OVER MANY CENTURIES, your art, your music, literature and innovations HAS MADE THE WORLD A BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL PLACE. We know you are a great civilization and YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD.
I also know civilizations debt to Islam. It was Islam that carried the Light of Learning for so many centuries, paving the way for Europes Renaissance and Enlightenment.
In ancient times and in modern times, Muslim Communities have been in the forefront of innovations and educations
ISLAM IS NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM IN COMBATING VIOLENT EXTREMISM; ISLAM IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF PROMOTING PEACE
In the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. Thats why Im committed to working with American Muslims to insure they can fulfill Zakat.
(SEE: The Holy Land Foundation Trial and the fact that Zakat is are ruse to raise funds in support of Islamic TERRORISM as well as the FACT that Zakat is ONLY aimed at assisting fellow Muslims and NEVER to be used to help ANY Infidels. In fact, Muslims are actually FORBIDDEN from bestowing this "charity" onto non-Muslims)
It is important for Western Nations NOT to impede Muslims from practicing their religion as THEY see fit and I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States, to fight against negative stereotype of Islam wherever they appear
WE ARE NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN NATION
The United States as been enriched by Muslim Americans. Since our founding American Muslims have enriched the United States. If you actually took the number of American Muslims, we would be one of the largest Muslim Countries in the world. LET THERE BE NO DOUBT, ISLAM IS PART OF AMERICA
Ah, but Im certain that ANY MINUTE now, one of you Hate Mitt and Mormons gang will show up to provide us all with similar quotes by Romney showing his praise, defense, support for, and undivided loyalty to that which is our sworn enemy and that which has VOWED to DESTROY our Republic and replace our Constitution with the Book of Mormons as our sole authority Mormonism!
Oh wait, none of you can, can you? Other than bring up things 100+ years ago that Joseph Smith said or some other passages in the Book of Mormons,.....
....but can NOT produce ONE SINGLE example of whereby (TODAY, NOW) Mormons or the Mormon Religion seeks World Hegemony and FORCED CONVERSIONS; Tens of THOUSANDS of incidents of Terrorism since 9/11; the MODERN day persecution and MURDER of Christians, Jews and others DAILY; Honor Killings; the Jailing/Executions of Apostates; the Stoning of women accused of adultery; the hanging of Gays; etc., etc., etc.
The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:
OK, I ask again, which is the more dangerous and a threat to us and our Country???
And of these 2, which is more dangerous to our survival?
