Sure pop a question in answer to a question which is NO answer.
...and top it off with a cherry on top picking three words out of context in a vain attempt to bolster the non answer. Furthermore, you have no clue what was meant by those three words without a prophetic explanation.
considering the 7 to 8 hundred thousand words in various Bibles, I wouldn’t be basing my salvation on three words Biblical or not.
...and finally, Jesus made no distinction, if the people won’t listen to the Prophets they will not listen to one raised from the dead referring to himself.
And of that situation we have ample evidence.
Yes I do.
I have active brain cells.

The Garment of the Holy Priesthood
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
The garment of the holy priesthood is a sacred symbol of Jesus Christ and is a reminder of our covenant relationship with Him and Heavenly Father. As endowed members keep the covenants they have made, including the sacred privilege to wear the garment, they will have greater access to the Savior’s mercy, protection, strength, and power.

I keep trying to find this command to wear this specifically designed garment in the LDS scriptures, but so far I've had no success.
I am positive that something so sacred would be found in scripture somewhere. Any help will be appreciated.
(Heck, I can't even find the covenants that LDS members make in LDS scripture; either.)
