    From reading the Bible, we know that the scribes and pharisees were most offended by Jesus and His followers. They accused Jesus of being from the Devil. The Pharisees had their Bible as well, and they studied it thoroughly. They utterly refused to accept anything more added to the Scriptures, than what they already had. When Jesus told them He was the Son of God, they were offended and accused Him of speaking blasphemy. They refused to believe that He was the Son of God, because they knew he was the son of Mary, even as Christians today know He was the son of Mary. They didn't believe that Jesus Christ's followers believed in the God of the Old Testament.

    In contrast, other Christians believed that God is in the form of a man. They learned from the Bible that man was created in God's image. They learned that Adam walked and talked with God in the Garden of Eden. They knew from the Bible that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had talked with God face to face, as one man talks to another. They knew that Moses did the same. They knew directly from the Bible, that God is not a formless, everywhere present power, but that he is in the form of a man. They knew also from Jesus Christ's ministry on the earth, that He was a man, in the same form as them. They did not believe that the nature of God is a "great mystery."

    We have long been aware of the tremendous pagan influence in the corruption of the early Christian church, and in the founding of all the orthodox Christian Churches, but many are not aware of the extent which this pagan influence has infiltrated. Even the translations of the Scriptures themselves were corrupted by this influence. Not just the simple mistakes, and errors in doctrine, but deliberate attempts to corrupt them with pagan terminology.

    This flawed translation of the Bible is a curse of confusion laid upon the Gentiles for the past two thousand years, because they rejected the message that was initially preached to them by the Jews. The stubborn Gentiles did not desire to forsake their cherished pagan traditions in favor of the Gospel. They would rather kill the servants of God sent to them, and alter or destroy their message, rather than give up their own cherished opinions and traditions.

    "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 3:19)

    If men do not have the willingness to forego all the world has to offer in worldly possessions and worldly praise and reputation to serve the Lord, they fall into the path of error, for these things are natural to the world, not the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior. Those who diligently and sincerely seek for truth can ask the Lord to guide them through prayer. In instances where sincerity is lacking regarding the matter of truth and praying for truth, it is truly written that: "Behold, I say unto you, that your reasoning is not sincere, for the thing you desire, determines the philosophy you embrace. And if you will search the depths of your heart, your self-deception will become manifest." First Message, 11:13.

    In the centuries after the crucifixion of Jesus and the deaths of His disciples, there was a great debate raging throughout Christendom concerning what was termed the Trinity. Some people believed that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost were all the same being _ that He was a formless "everywhere present" being, without "body, parts, or passions." They believed that the Godhead was a "great mystery," and that it was blasphemy to seek to understand God.

    When the Pagan Roman empire was "christianized" under the leadership of the emperor Constantine, all Christians who believed that the Father, and the Son were separate beings were forbidden to believe so any longer. The Roman Catholic Church was incorporated into the empire, Christians and Jews who did not subscribe to the official state religion were driven and killed, books were burned; and the great debate was settled not by reason and truth, but by the business end of a Roman sword. It was this murderous mentality that prospered among professed Christians since that time, and again manifested itself centuries later in early European colonizations efforts of America, in which countless American Indians were massacred and/or "christianized" by early colonizers under the guise of what was considered acceptable practices of what at the time was considered to be "Christianity."

    "The moment you teach some of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God that are retained in the heavens, and are to be revealed to the children of men when they are prepared for them, they will be the first to stone you and put you to death.

    If you search the history of this subject you will find many slants and opinions to this subject, but you will find for sure that this early Christian controversy was real. Mormons believe in the Trinity like these early persecuted Christians did, that the Father and the Son are two separate beings, exactly as the Bible declares them to be. Mormons know from the Bible that before Stephen was martyred, he looked into heaven and saw God the Father sitting on His throne, and His Son Jesus Christ standing as a separate Being at His right hand. The mob that martyred Stephen knew that Jesus Christ was in the form of a man from His ministry on the earth. Likewise, His Father in Heaven was also in the form of a man. Stephen's testimony which he sealed with his own blood stands to the world forever, the truthfulness of the Fatherhood of God. Mormons do not believe in "great mysteries" like all the Christian churches do. We believe that the essential principles of the Gospel are plain and simple, so that a little child can understand them.

    Every Christian Church in the world today, whether it be orthodox or protestant, can trace it's roots directly to the beginnings of this early Roman Catholic Church, after the first council of Nicea, which used the opinions of men to define their belief on the Trinity and set the course for the beliefs of most Christian religions today. That is why they are all so opposed to the Mormon religion. It is their very traditions that causes them to be so offended by the Mormon faith.

    "O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm." (2 Nephi 4:34)

    Contrary to what these Christians will try to tell you, Mormons really do believe in the Bible. It is merely these Christians' various interpretations of the Bible, that Mormons don't believe in. Consider that those who ultimately reject truth of that which is referred to as Mormonism will be left with a void that will inevitably be filled with something else. What is it filled with? Everything else, with no exceptions is riddled with absurdities and mysteries, and impossibilities. Atheists must practice a strong faith in their religious dogma to overcome the impossibilities of their so-called scientific theories. If you ask a Christian why the Trinity contains a Father and a Son, they will tell you that no one knows why because it is a "great mystery." They will likely say that you shouldn't ask such questions because it is blasphemy to seek to understand God. If you ask them why they believe that infants who die without being baptized in their church will go to hell without ever committing a single sin they will tell you it is a "great mystery." Some of the Protestants will tell you that they don't even believe in baptism, in direct conflict with the teachings of the Bible. All of their thinking is clearly not sincere.

    In contrast, the Mormon religion has no great mysteries, no scientific impossibilities or absurdities. Everything is written in great plainness so concepts are not easily misunderstood, except by the willingly ignorant. If you ultimately cast away Mormon beliefs before serious and sincere examination, you may as well get rid of all the light bulbs in your house, and live by candle light.

    There is no known fact, no unalterable proven scientific law which conflicts in any way with anything written in any of the LDS scriptures, though it conflicts with the personal opinions and beliefs of almost everyone alive, including most Mormons. It is all in complete harmony with all known truths. This can be said with total confidence, and no one has ever been successful in proving otherwise. President John Taylor once said that no man can contend with the principles that Joseph Smith taught.

    We live in that time of many false prophets and false interpretations. Put your trust in God. Don't let the opinions of men influence you in your decision on who to believe. There is a test to refute all false teachings and false prophets and that is to sincerely pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit. A false prophet will set himself up for recognition and is one who does not give all glory to the Lord, Jesus Christ. The Lord’s servants do not work to bring glory to themselves, but to the Savior Jesus Christ. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." James 1:5-8

    A prayer for true knowledge must be with a sincere heart and the meekness of a child, for there are circumstances of insincere prayers when the Lord cannot answer. To pray for a confirmation of a belief based on the teachings and traditions of men will lead to error: To cling to the false assumptions devised by men can pave the way to be led by the adversary.

   Once again: "Behold, I say unto you, that your reasoning is not sincere, for the thing you desire, determines the philosophy you embrace. And if you will search the depths of your heart, your self-deception will become manifest. Multitudes there are who will to be deceived, that they may resist the Word of God, and yet avoid self-condemnation; and also that they may not see in the judgments of nature, the condemnation of a wicked people; as it was with my people of old, who slew the prophets that prophesied evil upon the House of Israel." First Message, 11:13-14.

    Whether or not you choose to believe in various orthodox Christian views, what you accept to be the truth should stand on it's own merits and guided by careful prayer and scriptural study. Seek guidance from the Holy Spirit for correction of erroneous principles, for all Christian interpretations and conclusions find conflict with each other and are often based on pagan influences. Do not rely on the opinions of arms of flesh who try so hard to influence you and tell you what your beliefs are, for all who follow after the opinions and traditions of men are in error. The Lord commands that men find Him while there is yet still time for Him to be found:

    "Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you. For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors. And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed. Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world. For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final state of the wicked." (Book of Mormon | Alma 34:31 - 35)

    "...I had other sheep, and that they were a branch of the house of Jacob(American Indians); And I will bring to light their marvelous works, which they did in my name; Yea, and I will also bring to light my gospel which was ministered unto them, and, behold, they shall not deny that which you have received, but they shall build it up, and shall bring to light the true points of my doctrine, yea, and the only doctrine which is in me. And this I do that I may establish my gospel, that there may not be so much contention; yea, Satan doth stir up the hearts of the people to contention concerning the points of my doctrine; and in these things they do err, for they do wrest the scriptures and do not understand them. Therefore, I will unfold unto them this great mystery; For, behold, I will gather them as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if they will not harden their hearts; Yea, if they will come, they may, and partake of the waters of life freely. Behold, this is my doctrine—whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church. (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 10:60 - 67)

    "What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to?

    " He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost.

        "What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse? We are to understand that the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 113:7 - 10)

     Be it declared among all American Indian People of the American Continents: The Power of the Lord is now among this people and great will be the blessings of those who purify themselves to serve the Lord. Be it known that the Lord has taken his power from the Gentiles and given it to the American Indians. Great are the blessings and great is the responsibility now upon the American Indians to be the light of the world. Be it known that the Lord favors His covenant people, the American Indians, as are the Jews favored by the covenant with their ancestors. Be it known that the Lord has chosen this people, and many prophets past have foresaw this time of today when the American Indians would be a light unto the world and are destined to become the greatest and most blessed people in the world at this time. Be it declared to all people of American Indian descent that it is expedient to search out the Lord and the truths of His one and only true Gospel, and be it known that the Indians are to follow the enticings of the Holy Spirit and no longer allow the teachings of men to be of hindrance in coming to a knowledge of all truth. Be it declared that the Lord Jesus Christ will soon make His appearance to His people, the American Indians, and it is expedient for the American Indian People to walk in the ways of the Lord. The time of the blessings of the Gentiles is past, and the hopes of the Gentile Peoples is to repent of their sins so that they may hope to be numbered with the covenant people of the Lord, the American Indians. Be it known that the present people of the LDS Church have rejected the fulness of the gospel and are now without testimony of the true gospel, being as they are unrepentant. Our brethren the American Indians are exhorted to put on this mantle of power formerly in possession of the Gentiles, so that there will be a righteous people in the world serving the Lord.

    "And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel." (3 Nephi 16:10)

    The Lord has set up an organization for the House of Israel American Indians to be restored to their former positions of power, that is, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. For although now in the possession and apparent control of corrupted men, it has been established by the Lord to provide His people a gathering place, and no group of men can prevent the Lord from setting His house in order when the time comes. The place for the Saints of the Lord to gather is this church. The Lord will hold those responsible who seek to hinder His work of grafting the Lamanite House of Israel into His Church, whether they be in the church or not. Seek not to destroy the messengers, for all men are as the dust of the ground in the eyes of the Lord. In Chapter four of the book of Mosiah, it discusses after the people had awakened to a sense of their awful situation and fell to the earth in great fear, being made aware of their own carnal state, and that they were less than the dust of the earth. It is the meek whom the Father loves, not the proud.

    The power which formerly has rested with the Gentiles has been taken from them and given to the American Indian People. God’s power is now with the Indians and the only hope of the Gentiles is to repent so that they can be numbered with the American Indians. The Gentiles have fulfilled Book of Mormon Prophecies, and are now, "as salt that has lost its savor."

    "...but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." (New Testament | Matthew 5:13)

    We are now seeing the people of the current LDS Church undergoing a paganization of their beliefs much like what happened to the Christian beliefs approximately 2000 years ago. The capacity of discernment and reasoning has been lifted from the current LDS people and the survival of the Mormon Church now hinges upon the grafting in of the true people and heirs to God’s blessings, the American Indians. The next great work of the Lord will be among this people, the American Indians. The work of the Lord no longer relies upon those Gentiles currently in control of the LDS Church; the power and future works of the Lord is now upon the shoulders of those American Indians who, in this time, are to be grafting in to the Mormon Church to become the spiritual strength of the church and partake of the Lord’s blessings.

    According to the teachings of Jesus Christ throughout the Book of Mormon, it is His will that the American Indian people now be grafted into His True Church to save it from being cast out and withering away. For it is with this people that the Power of the Lord now resides, and there needs to be a righteous people raised up when the Lord soon returns, for He will have a people serve Him that are not corrupted. You must enter in through the gate the Lord has established, the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the American Indians must be grafted in by large numbers. It is the will of the Lord that the American Indians be now gathered, and pray among themselves for the truthfulness of the Gospel; for the power of the Lord is now among this people.

    The teachings of the traditions of men can be overcome by a sincere faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is God’s will that the House of Israel become a great people as has been covenanted as a promise to their ancestors. The false teachings of men and of false prophets can be proven and overcome by a reliance in the Holy Spirit to manifest truth to the people of the House of Israel, the American Indians, and all who preach must acknowledge that all glory in the work of the Lord belongs to the Lord and Him alone.

    We are living in that day when, as in the words of the Book of Isaiah 60:22, "A little one will become as a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time," and accordingly, the Lord’s words on this matter are clear: He will raise up a pure and righteous people to serve Him and bring out the true points of His doctrine.

    "Behold, thou art my people. Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem..." (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 8:16)

    ‘Wherefore gird up your loins lest ye be found among the wicked. Lift up your voices and spare not." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 43: 19)

    And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed. Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world. For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final state of the wicked. (Book of Mormon | Alma 34:33 - 35)

    The power and destiny of a great people is now at hand; if they will pray for guidance of the Holy spirit with sincere purpose of heart, they will find the overwhelming love of the Savior and power of the Holy Spirit as their guide. The American Indian People are called upon to be a light unto the world, for it is in their heritage that the Lord covenanted with their ancestors to bless their descendants and raise up a pure people from them at this time, and bestow upon them all of the blessings and responsibility that comes with it. Be it one today or a thousand, and a small one growing into a strong nation, the Lord’s Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will have the natural branches of Israel grafted into it to strengthen it, and the strength of the American Indian people will save it from being altogether lost. The fountain of knowledge of the truth of God is now in the hands of the American Indian People, and no other people in the world are destined to come in such great numbers to such a great knowledge of truth and blessings of the Lord at this time.

"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." (New Testament | Matthew 20:16)

   In the year 1845, the leaders of the Mormon Church issued a proclamation to the world, including the gathering of American Indians to become "one nation in this glorious land." The church in recent years has promoted other teachings (i.e., the "Proclamation on Family") that are no longer distinguishable from other significant religious faiths and no longer address these highly significant points of Mormon doctrine. They were given the responsibility to gather the American Indians with the hopes they could be numbered among that people when the Savior returned. There is little evidence that this belief still exists in current Mormon thought.

    The words of the Lord are clear: At that day when the Gentiles be guilty of all manner of abominations and then reject the fulness of the gospel, it will be taken from them and given to the American Indians(3 Nephi 16:10). That great church now inhabited by the Gentile people is now adrift in its direction, and can only be strengthened by the grafting in of the natural branches of the House of Israel - the American Indians.

    The comments from the president of the Mormon Church were of tremendous significance, for they rejected scriptures and doctrine taught by Mormon Church Founders to be the fulness of the Gospel, and even modern LDS Church leaders such as Bruce McConkie have taught that is a church belief that this principle will once again be lived again by the church when the law of the land no longer forbids it. Some church officials have even attempted to backtrack from these recent remarks, yet they are unmistakably clear, uttered by Church President Gordon B. Hinckley and heard by millions of listeners on Sept. 8, 1998, in response to a question by his interviewer: "You condemn it?"

"I condemn it, yes, as a practice, because I think it is not doctrinal. It is not legal."

    With these words spoken by the LDS Church President on Sept. 8, 1998, we see the literal fulfilling of the prophecy in 3 Nephi 16:10, when the Mormon Gentiles "shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them." With this statement, Hinckley summarily dismissed and betrayed the testimonies and meaning of the lives of many martyred Mormon Saints who established the Mormon religion, from which modern LDS people now reap the benefits, and condemned a basic principle of his Church’s heritage, which was paid for with the blood of many early Mormons, many of whom chose to pay a tremendous price of sacrifice rather than reject their God.

    For this was the principle more than any other which caused the early Saints to endure tremendous persecution and be slain at the hands of the mobocrats; a principle paid for with the blood of many Saints of the early Mormon church. It was this principle of polygamy that proved the worthiness of early Saints; it also proved the murderous hearts of some of the early American settlers - of whom many were professed Christians - who joined the bloodthirsty mobs which attacked and maimed and murdered the Mormons, and drove them from their homes in every state they lived, until they finally had to escape to the Rocky Mountains for safety. With this official statement by an LDS Church president, it also made official the revoking of the blessings upon the Gentile Mormon people and signaled the taking of the fulness of the gospel from them and the power of the Lord transferring this power and blessings upon the American Indian people. The blessings of the world now hinge upon the light of the American Indian people.

    "And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all good, that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God. For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 98:11 - 12)

    "And the nations of the earth shall honor her, and shall say: Surely Zion is the city of our God, and surely Zion cannot fall, neither be moved out of her place, for God is there, and the hand of the Lord is there;

    And he hath sworn by the power of his might to be her salvation and her high tower. Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is Zion—THE PURE IN HEART; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 97:19 - 21)

    It will primarily be American Indians that will build up the temple in Missouri, assisted by those present LDS Church Gentile members who have repented. 3 Nephi 21 clearly defines the role of the present church members in the the building of the new Jerusalem. (verse 22) "But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and not harden their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob (American Indians), unto I have given this land for their inheritance;"

    Also, the Doctrine and Covenants gives another reference clarifying who is is referred to as "Gentiles" in the American Indians’ history (Book of Mormon) and who is referred to as the House of Israel (Jews and Lamanite/American Indians): "...concerning the revelations and commandments which thou hast given us, who are identified with the Gentiles.", as Joseph Smith explained, where it is plainly spelled out the church members are basically defined as the House of Israel/American Indians/Jews and the "Gentiles" - the current non-Lamanite members who were in early times the American settlers of European stock and today are "identified with the Gentiles" as referred to in Joseph Smith's dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple. (D&C 109:60)

    And thus the Holy Spirit has directed it be spoken: The time for the fulness of the Gospel has come to be taken from the Gentiles and given to the Lamanites. It has been written and now it is to be fulfilled:

    It states in 3 Nephi, 16 that if the Gentiles reject the fulness of the Gospel it will be taken from them and given to the House of Israel. Modern LDS church representatives have taken upon themselves to add the word "nation" or "nations" in their teaching of the definition they would like to assign to the term "Gentiles." By adding this single word, the complete meaning of this scripture passage is changed, and it can then be taught that the "Gentiles" refers to complete non-believing peoples in nations such as the United States, and the House of Israel would then refer to the current LDS Church members. This is an erroneous interpretation that has been concocted to make the teaching of this scripture more palatable to current members of the LDS church, for instead of a stern warning as intended for the Latter-Day Saints, they have chosen to believe a reverse interpretation of removing total accountability from the current LDS people and unconditionally assigning upon themselves the blessings of the House of Israel.

    Does this refer to someone other than the LDS Church being the Gentiles? The passage does not refer to the "Gentiles who reject the Gospel." The words are very specific: At that day when the Gentiles "shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them." The passage does not say that those who reject the Gospel before examining it and understanding it are to have it taken away, for how can something be taken away that was never in possession? To be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints carries a tremendous responsibility and level of accountability that non-members do not carry. As only Church members have had the fulness of the Gospel taught to them and are the only people in a position to understand it well enough reject it (you cannot be guilty of rejecting the fulness of something if you have not been in a position to have learned about and understand the complexities of its whole) - this can only refer to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

    "Now, I say unto you, and what I say unto you, I say unto all the Twelve: Arise and gird up your loins, take up your cross, follow me, and feed my sheep. Exalt not yourselves; rebel not against my servant Joseph; for verily I say unto you, I am with him..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 112:14 - 15)

    That organization which the Lord has established to prepare a place and to organize His people of these days, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although believed to be in a state of rapid growth, has also been rapidly losing members to inactivity and many cases apostasy, for there has been little offered to "feed my sheep." Many falsehoods taught as official church doctrine has left the majority of members of the LDS Church with weakened and hollow testimonies of the true Gospel, leading to unprecedented rates of inactivity and church dropout. If you question most LDS church members, you will find that they know little about their own religion other than that which they have been told to them will be their religious beliefs by their fellow church members.

    "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst." (Old Testament | Isaiah 5:13)

    For although the church is now guided by corrupted men (as documented in previous issues of this publication), prophecies have foretold this organization of the LDS Church would at some point become primarily in the possession of the American Indians, the Lord’s covenant people of the House of Israel. Those in and out of the LDS Church who seek to prevent the Lord’s People from being gathered into the Lord’s church will be held accountable before the Lord; and those holding positions of influence within and out of the LDS Church and any governments of the American continents who seek to hinder the Lord’s work and discredit the Gospel will be held accountable before the Lord.

    "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Old Testament | Isaiah 5:20)

    And although the followers of Satan are now seeking to pollute all facets of the LDS Church, such as introducing satanic symbols on certain LDS Church buildings such as the Nauvoo Temple, and have been supported in their works controlling the LDS church by the current church membership, the church still belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. He will come to set His House in order as He drove money changers out of His temple in Biblical Times: "...and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables" (New Testament | John 2:13 - 15)

    For the Power of the Lord is now with those American Indians who pray in all sincerity of heart whether these things be true, and it will become manifest to them that the power of God is now with them to do His works, for that power has been taken from the Gentiles. For this Church was established to stand as an ensign to the world that will not be thrown down.

    "And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known. (D&C 65:35)

    The teachings of the scriptures of the Mormon Church should be evaluated by studying and praying on the literal words of the Lord, not those actions and interpretations of Gentiles that seek to occupy His church and transform it into a pagan religion according to their own desires.

    "...the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

    "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little..." (Old Testament | Isaiah 28:7 - 10)

    Joseph Smith foresaw that the time would come when many groups would be claiming the keys of priesthood authority, which is now. He stated he would give a sure key so you wouldn't be deceived of where the keys would be, that those keys would be where the main body of the church was; where the church records and the history of the church were kept is where the keys would be. This is important to note in a time when many break_off groups from the LDS Church are falsely claiming priesthood authority; and the arrival of the one mighty and strong is promoted with erroneous pretense by many of those groups.

    But verily, verily, I say unto you, that none else shall be appointed unto this gift except it be through him;

    "for if it be taken from him, he shall not have power except to appoint another in his stead." D&C 43:4

    The 43^rd Section of the Doctrine and Covenants explains that when the Leaders of the LDS Church fail to use the power of their calling properly, they have lost their power, and their positions have no more power, except to confer their keys upon another in their stead. They have retained the keys of authority, but the power of the church in those keys lies dormant, and the only power the leaders now hold is to choose who to confer the keys upon next.

    The keys of the LDS Church now lie dormant, and we are witnessing the effects of a church spiritually adrift, without spiritual direction. Would the American Indians not take this opportunity and fail to answer the call of saving the true religion, the world will lose the concept of what is truth and soon fall into complete darkness. All people of this time have the opportunity to witness conspiring forces throughout the world attempt to portray truth in a different slant, and the threat of evil taking over the definitions of truth has never been stronger. At no time in history has the battle to define what is believed to be "truth" been such a factor in the survival in the nations of the world. In scriptures the American Indians are prophesied to search out and come to a full knowledge of the truth and bring out the true points of the Lord’s Doctrine.

    In the year 1832, just two years after the time when the LDS Church was established, a scourge and condemnation was placed upon the current LDS people for their disobedience to the Lord. This curse and pending judgement has never been lifted:

    The church was not even three years old when in January, 1833, it became necessary for the Nauvoo High Council to issue a solemn epistle of warning from the Prophet Joseph to the wayward Saints, regarding their poor attitude toward the restored gospel, and of the great danger of the Church losing its promises:

    "There is one clause in Brother Joseph’s letter which you may not understand; that is this: If the people in Zion did not repent, the Lord will seek another place, and ANOTHER PEOPLE.’ Zion is the place where the temple will be built, and the people gathered, but all the people upon that Holy Land being under condemnation, the Lord will cut them off, if they repent not, and bring ANOTHER RACE upon it that will serve Him. The Lord will seek another place to bring forth and prepare His word to go forth to the nations." History of the Church, 1:320

    "Wherefore, go to, and call servants, that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit, which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit.

    "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him, and brought other servants; and they were few. And the Lord of the vineyard said unto them: Go to, and labor in the vineyard, with your might. For behold, this is the last time that I shall nourish my vineyard; for the end is nigh at hand..." (Book of Mormon | Jacob 5:61 - 71)

    Joseph Smith had so much concern about there being so little time left in which to prune the Lord’s vineyard, that he made every effort to prune the vineyard while he lived, to the extent of ex-communicating those leaders and apostles who taught a different doctrine than he taught.

Quote of the Month:

    "Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation; for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light for the people. My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arm shall judge the people. The isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law, fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation. Awake, awake! Put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake as in the ancient days. Art thou not he that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not he who hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads; and they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning shall flee away. I am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you. Behold, who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of man, who shall die, and of the son of man, who shall be made like unto grass?" (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 8:1 - 12)
