And, you probably very well know that the 'prophet' instructed his followers NOT to eat MEAT in the WARM WEATHER.

I've always wondered how mormons can look at this bit of so-called scripture, supposedly from the mouth the the "man who communed with God", then accept the current "works" requirements of the lds sect. Even when I was in I couldn't make sense of it. IE:
Verse 2 "not by commandment or constraint" Has become a requirement to hold a temple recommend and therefore "go to heaven" or not at the second coming;
Verse 5 "...drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him" Has turned into Water being used for Sacraments somehow;
Verse 9"And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly" This has been extrapolated into Coffee, and because coffee has caffeine, cold drinks like pepsi must also be bad, and because chocolate has caffeine it is banned by many fathers and local leaders as well;
Verse 12 "flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used csparingly;" Completely ignored;
Verse 17 " barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks",...Mild drink of Barley, AKA BEER now forbidden.
One needs look no further than this bit of rubbish and the addition to and taking from the words of this 175 year old religion to see what the doctrines of men do to "scripture". Imagine where this will be in another 175 years !
