One only needs validation from the Lord not man!

********************************

I do agree, which is why I choose to do my best to ignore criticisms of my religion. It is not for me or others to demand that the owner of this site approve of my religion, nor is it my right to demand that he might refuse to allow others to criticize it.

I am a guest here.

I don’t rant. I make a statement or observation and people keep asking me questions.

If I did hate rants, it would of course, only be someone elses rants that I hated.

As far as I understand the Lord loves all his children and each one has their agency to practice according to the dictate of their conscience.

Then you do NOT understand very much; for you CANNOT show in ANY 'scripture' that MORMONism claims to be authentic, the concept you've just typed.




#14...





In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.


1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

...each one has their agency to practice according to the dictate of their conscience.

Even though this CANNOT be found in any of your scripture; it is VERY evident in your ACTIONS!

The warning given by Prophet #2 is TOTALLY ignored, in favor of statehood.

WAKE UP, Resty!!!

The brimstone is nigh at thy door!!!
