John 4:19-26 “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”

ChurchNews.com “The Church is more than its buildings and ecclesiastical structure; the Church is the members, … with Christ at the head and the Prophet as His mouthpiece.”
Belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ is a privilege, “where members can unite their faith, hearts, strengths, minds and hands for Him to perform His mighty miracles.
Followers of Christ are striving to become of “one heart and one mind,” and to become like Him.
Even the smallest efforts make a significant difference in God’s kingdom. “Our purpose in His kingdom should be to bring each other to Christ.“ And as Christ’s Church, the members are the means through which the Savior will perform some of His mightiest works before He comes again.” — Reyna I. Aburto (more…)

How to Know God — Christianity v. Mormonism
Posted in grace v works, tagged August 2001, ‘Ordinances and Covenants’, Dennis B. Neuenschwander, Ensign, false teachers of Mormonism on 06/16/2021| 5 Comments »
‘How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?’ Hebrews 9:14
Today we’re looking at part of a talk given by LDS General Authority, Dennis B. Neuenschwander.
I came across this man’s talk a few weeks back and it reminded me of Masonry and the book Alice in Wonderland. There were a lot of nonsensical statements shrouded in circular reasoning. To read his talk in full see link provided below.
Ensign, ‘Ordinances and Covenants’, August 2001 “A Way to Know God …
First, through personal participation in sacred gospel ordinances we come to know God. I refer to the 84th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, in which we read:
And this greater priesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God. …in the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is manifest. … Second, sacred gospel ordinances are the gateway to solemn covenants with God. Ordinances and covenants can hardly be understood apart from each other. By ordinances we enter into covenants, and by covenants we receive the ordinances.
Though there may be ordinances that do not have an associated covenant—…—there is no eternal covenant that is not connected to an ordinance.” — Dennis B. Neuenschwander (more…)
Resurrection Requirements: Serve Others, Keep Covenants

The Church News “Because of the Savior, all will be resurrected. He has also made it possible for all to be reunited as families and have eternal joy in God’s presence if they make and keep covenants with Him.
As President Russell M. Nelson has taught: “Death is a necessary component of our eternal existence. … For sorrowing loved ones left behind … the sting of death is soothed by a steadfast faith in Christ, a perfect brightness of hope, a love of God and of all men, and a deep desire to serve them.” — Reyna Isabel Aburto (more…)

LDS Youth Taught to Adore Joe Smith and the Greatest of All Visions
Posted in New Era Magazine Articles, tagged December 1973, false teachers of Mormonism, Jerry Roundy, The Greatness of Joseph Smith and his remarkable visions on 02/20/2020| 2 Comments »
New Era, ‘The Greatness of Joseph Smith and His Remarkable Visions,’ December 1973 “Adam was the first member of the church of Christ on the earth and the first high priest after the order of the Son of God. In the commission he received from God, Adam was given the keys to administer the divine plan of salvation to others, including all his children to the very latest generation of time. It is through Adam’s authority that any revelation pertaining to the gospel of Christ was or shall be revealed.
The Prophet Joseph said:
“Adam holds the keys of the dispensation of the fulness of times; i.e., the dispensation of all the times that have been and will be revealed through him from the beginning to Christ, and from Christ to the end of the dispensations that are to be revealed.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith [Deseret Book Co.: 1961], pp. 167–68.)
At the age of 14 this boy exercised such great faith that he was given the privilege of beholding the greatest vision ever recorded in the annals of scripture. … Can you now begin to see the greatness of Joseph Smith’s mission? Each of these prophets may have held only a few keys of the gospel. Now he was receiving all the keys that had ever been on the earth.” — Jerry C. Roundy (more…)
