It's pretty clear that the second version is better.
The first gave comfort to the polygamists.

I will argue that it would be more accurate to say the church still has all the keys of the kingdom that have been delegated to mortals at this time.iWriteStuff wrote:I think it fair to say that there are some here who will argue against the notion that the church still has all the keys of the kingdom no matter what quotes you use.

If you understood my post, then communication was effective. If it was effective, it wasn't poor use. Maybe not proper, but imo, not poor. In your opinion, maybe, and everyone has one of those (and something else).Wolverine wrote:Rachel, Satan did not want be a God, he wanted to take Heavenly Father's place "give me thine honor."Rachael wrote:And I don't give a shittake mushroom if people want to practice it.

Re: "A Key That Will Never Rust" Fracturing within the Church? Part 2
The problem with the whole follow the church records is that the original records of the church were, at the time of Joseph's death, in the hand of his heirs in particular Emma Smith. Joseph mingled church and personal business in a way that we would never do today but was common in the mid 19th century. It was this lack of records, combined with the desire to have the members recommit to the church, that lead Brigham Young to have almost all the members rebaptised as they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley.
So if we were to really "stay the the records" we would all be back in the midwest.

No twisting. It says: "taken from the earth" not "taken from a denomination" or "the LDS [or any other] Church." Also, it is talking about the priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels. I don't think the Aaronic priesthood has all the keys. It is a lesser priesthood. Originally it was given as a schoolmaster because the Israelites in Moses times refused to come into the presence of the Lord. (D&C talks about how Moses wanted them to enter into God's presence.)iWriteStuff wrote:I think it fair to say that there are some here who will argue against the notion that the church still has all the keys of the kingdom no matter what quotes you use. For instance:
One could easily twist that statement either way, some gleefully.While we were thus employed, praying and calling upon the Lord, a messenger from heaven descended in a cloud of light, and having laid his hands upon us, he ordained us, saying: Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.
The Melchizedek priesthood probably has more keys (by it, people can command the elements, through faith) - but no human holds the keys to the resurrection. Thus it is impossible for the LDS Church or the general authorities to hold all of the keys.

Re: "A Rust That Will Never Key" Part 293,610,485
I would definitely agree that the current church has all of the keys God gave to it. What they entail, what they actually are, I do not know. Keys, in real life, open doors to rooms and buildings. Spiritual keys, I expect, are supposed to open doors to salvation, exaltation, resurrection, and possibly other things.brianj wrote:I will argue that it would be more accurate to say the church still has all the keys of the kingdom that have been delegated to mortals at this time.iWriteStuff wrote:I think it fair to say that there are some here who will argue against the notion that the church still has all the keys of the kingdom no matter what quotes you use.

Now that is a curious thing to say.

This is also interesting. Also, I don't recall a revelation that directly said that the Melchizedek priesthood wouldn't be taken from the earth again. Not that I believe that actually happened or anything, just something I find interesting.A Random Phrase wrote:No twisting.

you have lost your way. You need to repent while you still can. You are a supposed "joseph smith Mormon" yet you deny everything he set up and all of his prophecies about the last days. No one can claim joseph was a prophet and that this church is not true. It goes against all of his prophecies of the destiny of this church. This one thread, hitting one of his unalterable prophecies in his last charge meeting. The standard of truth is another as well as many many others. Snuffer is a apostate and you are as well as much as I hate to say it. You owe it to your family to repent and come back to the one true way. The Davidic servant is "spencer" from Visions of glory. Also the big earthquake is most likely this September. Time is short. Come back while you still can.clarkkent14 wrote: ↑June 1st, 2016, 3:11 pmWhat if a ruler was something to measure against?

As you get to know my posts better you will learn that sometimes I ask questions like the one above even though I already know the answer. I ask those questions to provoke thought in others.
And you'll also get to know that I have a great deal of contempt for videos that are nothing but a painfully slow presentation of text. It's not the messages contained in those videos; it's a presentation that is way too slow for my speed of reading and comprehension.

The Davidic servant will be through the priesthood lines of this church not outside of it. I fully expect him to be called a 70. IF he is not through the lines of the priesthood and under their direction then yes, he is not one to listen too. I have had a pretty powerful witness of Spencer. After not wanting to believe the book or his message. So we shall see. I of course will only listen to and follow proper priesthood lines....

Re: "A Key That Will Never Rust" Fracturing within the Church? Part 2
I am not confident in your conclusion. We know from ancient and modern prophecy that one day, at a day before the Second Coming and before the battle of Armageddon, the Jews will rebuild their temple and will resume temple worship. We also know that when the surviving Jews are delivered after that battle they will be shocked to learn that their Messiah really is Jesus Christ, whom their ancestors crucified. Therefore it seems very unlikely to me that religious leaders of modern Israel will accept LDS authorities to ordain some to the Aaronic Priesthood or to establish temple ordinances, and seems equally unlikely to me that the two prophets of Jerusalem will be LDS general authorities.Chris wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2017, 3:02 pm The Davidic servant will be through the priesthood lines of this church not outside of it.

We also have prophecies that the lost tribes will be gathered, then highways will be cast up out of the deep to allow the members of those tribes to walk to Zion after that great city has been established. They will bring their own scriptures as they come, led by their own prophets. It's an important point so I will repeat it. They will be led by their own prophets.
The future Davidic servants will be, in my opinion, people who are not of Joseph or Ephriam. Those servants will come from Judah or Benjamin and the lost tribes.

Really so because he quoted a scripture out of context he is correct. That justifies the law. If I read a scripture to you saying you are anything I want is that going to make it so, just because I misquoted a scripture? OR I could read in the BOM about how having more than one wife is wrong and then read in the bible were God sanctioned it?

I can tell you this with a 100% certainty. DS is going to go to hell!. He is perverting the truth and is on a very slippery slope. You cant claim JS was and is a prophet and the BOM is true and then deny what the BOM and especially the D&C says about this church and the literally 100's of prophecies of Joseph Smith about the destiny of this church which are all true by the way and then spit in the face of the prophet and his church and twist a couple little scriptures totally out of context and and start a false church on that foundation. IT boggles my mind you can be so deceived so easily but such a idiot. Also I am not someone who has never had spiritual experiences. I have had visions and special sacred experiences with the savior. I have used the priesthood and seen dozens healed instantly. I will pray for you but I am shocked who anyone can fall for this crap.

Wilford Woodruff once said that before a prophet could lead the Saints astray, God would take that prophet first.
