SZ, Resty, the biblical sovereign reflection of this principle in action is God giving the Holy Spirit to dwell in His people. The primary temple in the New Testament is His people, flesh and blood, not some building on a corner!
In the same way, Resty, why do you honor this principle when the Mormon god and Mormon "prophet" structure tends to dismiss this New Covenant principle?
So note, Resty, I have copied & pasted Principle 19 into this statement below (in Italic) -- and added to it as applied by the Lord's true church-at-large:
Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to church general authority government, all others being retained by God's people, as they are indwelled by the Holy Ghost.
