From my earlier post: Is it Christian belief that God wishes to "build up His kingdom on earth and establish Zion?" State your source for this

How about Daniel 2:37-45: (http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dan/2/37-45#37)

My question to you: Is it Christian belief that God wishes to "build up His kingdom on earth and establish Zion?" State your source for this.

Here is the pertinent clause in the oath: "do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.

Now, if you care to interpret this as referring to the Daniel source, go ahead. Other's interpretation could be that since it states "according to the Law of Consecration in the D & C, and the FIRST recipient of "yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you," is the LDS church, the Kingdom of God and Zion just might relate to something much more recent.

I guess you would claim that "Zion" doesn't relate in any way to the mormon church either.

Which interpretation do you think the clinton/media crime machine will chose?

They are going to lie about whoever the R nominee is, so that really does not matter. This is why many good men who would do great things for their country will not run. They do not want the mud bath for themselves, and their family that the left puts out as a matter of course.
