What is an FTP guy.Obrien wrote: ↑January 21st, 2023, 10:01 pmThanks for your response to familiarize me with your perspective.Shawn Henry wrote: ↑January 21st, 2023, 9:39 pmI'm simply referring to the scriptures that speak of all the end-times servants, the Davidic Servant or Prince of David, the one mighty and strong, the latter-day Moses who is raised up specifically to lead us out of bondage as Moses did, the redemption of Zion happening under the servant who the Lord references in the parable, the two prophets in the book of Revelation, etc.
I hope none hear fall into that trap, but I don't see taking the holy spirit as our guide as a substitute for studying the Lord's words about these end-time servants. I feel the two are too intertwined. If we have truly taken the holy spirit as our guide, then we have followed his initial promptings to study these servants in the scriptures and we follow the spirits continued promptings to look for their coming.
It is similar to God sending John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus. It would not have worked out well for everyone if John had no followers because they were all convinced that the holy spirit would bypass John and lead everyone straight to Jesus. John's whole mission was to point the way.
After 40+ years of being a FTP guy, I am now more of a 2 Nephi 31 / 32 guy.
Weird my name means spear as was also the case with the guy that almost got the world blowed up. It worked out well when it cane time to choose a pen name for me little book that would go on to be narrated by a PTP, whose latest big role was playing a friend of the friend of God on TV .
