Again to whom it may concern

Journal of Discourse although has many good information and knowledge plus opinions None of this is Doctrine or Scripture.

So Brigham Young or any other in the JOD can have their opinion does not make it scripture.

Journal of Discourses
The Journal of Discourses is not an official publication of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a compilation of sermons and other materials from the early years of the Church, which were transcribed and then published. It included some doctrinal instruction but also practical teaching, some of which is speculative in nature and some of which is only of historical interest

Oh?

Neither are ANY of your churche's Temple Rituals; but you guys DO them.

Sounds highly inconsistent to me.

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

Where can we find an 'OFFICIAL MORMON' teaching website??

Official sites are sites supported by LDS officials unless said official sites are considered unofficial by said officials.

 

At that point such sites are unofficial unless officially referenced for official purposes by officials who can do so officially.

 

This should not be misconstrued as an indication that official sites can be unofficially recognized as official nor should it be implied that unofficial sites cannot contain official information, but are not officially allowed to be offical despite their official contents due the their unofficialness.

 

Official sites will be official and recognized as official by officials of the LDS unless there is an official reason to mark them as unofficial either temporally or permanently, which would make the official content officially unofficial.

 

This is also not to imply that recognized sites, often used on FR by haters and bigots cannot contain official information, it just means that content, despite its official status, is no longer official and should be consider unofficial despite the same information being official on an official site elsewhere.

 

Even then the officialness my be amended due to the use of the unofficial information which may determine the officialness of anything be it official or unofficial depending on how and where it is used officially or unofficially.

I hope this clear things up for the lurkers out there.

The haters tend to make things complicated and confusing when it is all really quite crystal clear.

The Book of ABRAHAM IS an official publication of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It has been PROVEN to be as phoney as a three dollar bill!

... a three dollar bill!

Speaking of which...

Bump for later response, I have a direct quote from BY that contradicts this contention...but I suppose in an ever evolving doctrine, the words and admonitions of past prophets can be dismissed as merely “opinion”.

I find it interesting that what used to be regarded as “revelation” is now deemed “opinion”.

But then, I know why that is...
