Huh? Following you is like:
Who says? (Chapter & verse of a specific standard work, please -- even a Mormon one)
And the prophet Joseph Smith was promised that eventually, in the due time of the Lord, the sealed portion of the plates would be made available to us.
I have to admit re: this one that as I washed my air right after I posted #620 & #626, I thought to myself: "OK, how might StormPrepper respond to these posts?"
And I guessed a very similar response...that you would indeed appeal to the future...some day...Some Latter day...not this "latter" day, mind you, but some LATER "latter" day...as in...eventually.
And I had to smile widely at that point. Why? Well, I think you can see this one coming based upon my last graph:
Because here you claim to be part of a movement that's already almost 200 years into the so-called "Latter-days"...
...your very identity is locked up as representing the "Latter days..."
...and yet, NOW you're telling us something similar to...
"Oh. I guess the Book of Mormon isn't fully 'Latter-day' enough."
"Eventually" (you promise)...
"In due time" (you assure)...
...we'll be Latter-day Saints 2.0...
...who will "restore" the Latter-day Saints 1.0...
...with a newer "fulness of the everlasting gospel").
Ya know, when you have to render the olde "everlasting" version as in need of a revelational upgrade, it does tend to cast doubt upon having the authentic one to begin with!
If this was all scripted for a movie, the perfect title might be: Latter-day Saints: The Post-Latter-day Sequel!
Gotta break the news to you, StormPrepper: It's kinda hard to chronologically move past "Latter-dayism" into "Post-Latter-dayism" without literally shaking heaven & earth!
