Comment on The Authentic 1886 Revelation by Josh

“D&C 124: 49
49 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that when I give a commandment to any of the sons of men to do a work unto my name, and those sons of men go with all their might and with all they have to perform that work, and cease not their diligence, and their enemies come upon them and hinder them from performing that work, behold, it behooveth me to require that work no more at the hands of those sons of men, but to accept of their offerings.”

Hey I just wanted to leave a quote here on what Charles W. Penrose said about the scripture verse given by Nate in 2008. You will find that it is in accordance with the view of truthsoughtandfound. Here it is…

“Quotations sometimes referred to by the weakbacked who need a ramrod fastened parellel with spinal column (He then quotes the scripture being discussed) It is a little singular that some people will persistently refuse to see the difference between a certain special work and a principle or law. The consistency of the Lord relieving a people from any such obligation as the building of a house when prevented by enemies from accomplishing it is self-evident. When it comes to the abrogation of a law, a principle, a truth, the matter is entirely different. The revelation does not apply even remotely. (Des. Eve. News, editorial, June 5, 1885)

Comment on Judging the 1886 Meeting – 6 – Another People by Steve Graham

Thank you for this exchange. I admit that I’m a little late in reading it, but it was quite enlightening. Given the example of Lehi and his family, I find it hard to understand how any believer in that book can maintain the position that the Lord does not have the option of leading away a people from within His people if the latter are not righteous.

Comment on Judging the 1886 Meeting – 5 – Plural Marriage Will Continue by truthsoughtandfound

Thanks for the suggestion.

I seem to have found a way to make this work. Look at the following article for an example I just adapted -

http://articles.mormonfundamentalism.org/64/jesus-savior-of-other-worlds/

If you click on the footnote references it expands to show the reference text.

This way those who are not interested in reading the references don’t have to, and it doesn’t interrupt the flow of the text, but for those who are interest they no longer need to scroll to the bottom of the page to see them.

I have left the references in footnotes at the end of the article too, so that those who print it out still have them.

I wish that you would site references to quotations and such immediately after them instead of in foot notes. It is important to know and understand where a quotation comes from. However, having to scroll to the bottom of a page to look at the footnote tends to interrupt the flow of study.

Malcolm, I am curently a LDS member in good standing and I must say that your comments seem to have the spirit of contention about them. As they are a number of months old, I hope that you have found the peace that only folowing the Lord in truth can bring.

Thank you for this research. I recently posted on Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner Testimony on my blog. It may be of interest to your readers. Thanks.

D&C 58:26-33
26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.

27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

29 But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.

30 Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?

31 Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?

32 I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.

33 Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.

What the Lord did in through Jacob was command the people that they should enter into that law of marraige. He did not revoke the law, the law is still in effect. Essentially, God damned the people of that time to a leaser degree of glory because, if you read it carefully, the reason is quite obvious. They were not, by their own demonstration, capable of living the conditions of that law, therefore it was better for them not to, lest they bring upon themselves a greater condemnation.
