Instead of the commandment, “Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth,” being an unrighteous law, it is one by means of which the race of the Gods is perpetuated…” — B.H. Roberts, 1911 (more…)

Posted in False gods, February, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 02/04/2026| 3 Comments »

 February 4 — Journal of Discourses 2:345-346 “This explains the mystery.

He has given the leaders of His Church the authority to bind families together forever. This binding together is called sealing. This sealing can take place only in a temple. Temples are sacred buildings where only faithful members of the Church may go. When a man and woman are sealed in the temple by someone who holds the priesthood and has special power to seal, their marriage will not end when they die. Their marriage will last forever if they keep the promises they made in the temple. This is called eternal marriage. (more…)

 February 23 — Joseph Smith Completed Jesus’ Gospel. Liahona, ‘Joseph Smith—Prophet of the Restoration’, November 2009 “In many ways the gospel of Jesus Christ is like a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.

Then Joseph Smith came along and put many of the other 900 pieces in place so that people could say, ‘Oh, now I understand where I came from, why I am here, and where I am going.’ As for Joseph Smith’s role in the Restoration, the Lord defined it clearly: ‘This generation shall have my word through you’ (D&C 5:10).” — Tad R.
