I then looked at the 1979 "Topical Guide" in the Lds version of its KJV -- and turned to the "worthiness" entry there: It tells me right up top its related to the concept of "qualifying for" & then proceeds to verses like D&C 31:5: "Therefore, thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your back, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Wherefore, your family shall live."

Reading this reminded me just how much the LDS misuse scripture and twist it towards their own ends. In the above verse, it uses the words of the Bible in reference to works and worthiness.

However, the phrase is taken directly from the Bible and has NOTHING to do with worthiness. It has to do with those whom Christ sent accepting hospitality while preaching.

Luke 10:7 - And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house

"Twistianity" strikes again.
