Is The Restored Gospel A Myth⁉️

[CaptainM]

5)And the gospel of Jesus Christ shall be declared among them; wherefore, they shall be restored unto the knowledge of their fathers, and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which was had among their fathers. (2 Nephi 30)

This is the only scripture in the Book of Mormon that even comes close to associating the word "Restore" and the word "Gospel". Additionally, even though I reject the D&C as God's word, the same applies for it. There is no such thing voiced from God or purported to be from God as "The Restored Gospel". The section heading to D&C 34 is the only usage of "Restored Gospel" extant in anything considered scripture by the LDS.

The Lord primarily uses the word restore in most cases when speaking of the House of Israel being gathered and also the resurrection from the dead. His gospel has always been here; albeit the great and abominable church has held back plain and precious points of doctrine.

I recognize that the "Gospel" and the "Church" are two different things, but ponder these verses from the Book of Commandments:

4) And for this cause have I said, if this generation harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them. Now I do not say this to destroy my church, but I say this to build up my church: therefore, whosoever belongeth to my church need not fear, for such shall inherit the kingdom of heaven: but it is they who do not fear me, neither keep my commandments, but buildeth up churches unto themselves, to get gain; yea, and all those that do wickedly, and buildeth up the kingdom of the devil...
17 Behold this is my doctrine: whosoever repenteth, and cometh unto me, the same is my church: whosoever declareth more or less than this, the same is not of me, but is against me: therefore, he is not of my church.
18 And now, behold whosoever is of my church, and endureth of my church to the end, him will I establish upon my Rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them. (Chapter 9)

So, this begs the question: was Joseph Smith an instrument of restoration; or was he a person who was given a gift to translate a record that eventually would be used to help restore the House of Israel to Jesus Christ Or is it a moot point

There is, however, the name Joseph. Yasap in Hebrew. Which means to proceed to do, to return to do again, to do over, or to restore. In Isaiah when he writes in Chapter 11 verse 11 that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time....he's essentially using the name JOSEPH meaning to do a second time. And again in Isaiah 29:14 when Isaiah writes that I will proceed to do a maverlous work....he's essentially using the name JOSEPH.

Interesting, no?

Haven't you hear? It is an ongoing restoration.

[Shawn Henry]

The Joseph Smith Papers project reveals that neither Joseph nor anyone else used the terms "Restored Church" or "Restored Gospel" at any time during the 1800's. It didn't appear until the 1900's.

Both the gospel and the church (God's people) were already present.

[SJR3t2]

While talking about Joseph Smith in this verse, although the word restoration is not used, it's the same concept.

1 Nephi 13:34
Book of Mormon
Scriptures

34 And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: Behold, saith the Lamb of God, after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel—and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father—wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment, and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles, and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly, because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church, which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb—I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day, insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power, much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.

That verse is key in this post I did https://seekingyhwh.org/2020/06/20/much ... -dc-13240/

Later the Mighty and Strong One will restore everything.

Matthew (JST 17:14) (KJV 17:13) Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist, and also of another who should come and restore all things, as it is written by the prophets.

The phrase second coming is only used once in the scriptures, in the D&C, but the concept is all over.

Doctrine and Covenants 34:6 To lift up your voice as with the sound of a trump, both long and loud, and cry repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, preparing the way of the Lord for his second coming.

The concept of more truth coming, yes. However, it is wrong to associate it with our learned precepts and not the scriptures. The scriptures do not use the word in that context. Restoration in the scriptures refers to the House of Israel being restored to their lands of inheritance and being restored to the flesh to their lands of inheritance for those who have passed.

Those are the only two ways the word is used in scripture that I have seen.

We have a different understanding.

[Niemand]

We think of the Great Apostasy and Restored Gospel as LDS concepts, but neither are new. One could say the early Protestants believed in such a thing, i.e. the apostasy of the Roman church and trying to get back to the primitive church. The difference is that the LDS goes beyond sola scriptura, but even some Protestants do that too in various ways.

Did the word "restore" or "restoration" appear? Can you word search the entire body of text?

[Thinker]

Is The Restored Gospel A Myth

You helped me realize how contradictory “restore” is with “new” (as in “gospel = good news.” Actually the way it is in the church gospel = god’s spell - & the gods are church leaders).

Similarly, Jacob after wrestling with his past incorrect ideas of god… then is renamed “IsRaEl.” Why restore that which is no longer applicable?

• “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” - Matt 9:17

a favorite quote of Johnnie Carson which I love: I use the periods to attempt to make it sound like his delivery:

it is my perspective that the Gospel that has been given thus far is on maybe a 5th grader level. We are light years from PHD.

Law of moses and book of Leviticus - Kindergarten
JS teachings - 5th Grade
Christ really said very little . Each person gleans the truth from his words only on their personal level. An example of this is how some see Christ as an angry being that will bring punishment to earth with fire and brimstone in vengeance and wrath. < Kindergarten thinking.

we see what we are.

I think you may be being overly generous.
Perhaps there are a few that have a 5th grade understanding. Perhaps. And of them, maybe 1 in 1 hundred put that understanding into practice. Which sadly, knowledge that is not acted upon only brings condemnation. I put myself in a group that has fairly advanced understanding, but in practice I am still in maybe first grade at best. Not a good situation to be in.

[Shawn Henry]

The Joseph Smith Papers project reveals that neither Joseph nor anyone else used the terms "Restored Church" or "Restored Gospel" at any time during the 1800's. It didn't appear until the 1900's.

Both the gospel and the church (God's people) were already present.

Did the word "restore" or "restoration" appear? Can you word search the entire body of text?

I'm sure it can be done. I didn't do the search, I simply heard one of the PHD's talking about it on a podcast, Matt Harris I think.

1 Nephi 21:6 And he said: It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.

2 Nephi 9:2 That he has spoken unto the Jews, by the mouth of his holy prophets, even from the beginning down, from generation to generation, until the time comes that they shall be restored to the true church and fold of God; when they shall be gathered home to the lands of their inheritance, and shall be established in all their lands of promise.

2 Nephi 9:12 And this death of which I have spoken, which is the spiritual death, shall deliver up its dead; which spiritual death is hell; wherefore, death and hell must deliver up their dead, and hell must deliver up its captive spirits, and the grave must deliver up its captive bodies, and the bodies and the spirits of men will be restored one to the other; and it is by the power of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 9:13 O how great the plan of our God! For on the other hand, the paradise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous, and the grave deliver up the body of the righteous; and the spirit and the body is restored to itself again, and all men become incorruptible, and immortal, and they are living souls, having a perfect knowledge like unto us in the flesh, save it be that our knowledge shall be perfect.

2 Nephi 10:2 For behold, the promises which we have obtained are promises unto us according to the flesh; wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief, nevertheless, God will be merciful unto many; and our children shall be restored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer.

2 Nephi 10:7 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 25:11 And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me. And notwithstanding they have been carried away they shall return again, and possess the land of Jerusalem; wherefore, they shall be restored again to the land of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 25:17 And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men.

Just look at how the word starts off in the BoM. I highlighted the context. It is people being restored in the flesh to the lands of their inheritance.

I get it you don't believe JS restored anything of the gospel and that he was a fallen prophet. We very much disagree. And I believe the fullness of the gospel is how the Law of Moses points to Yeshua's death on the cross.

Alma (LDS 34:10-14) (RLDS 16:210-215)
AA 10 For it is expedient that there should be a GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE;
A-B yea, not a sacrifice of man,
A--C neither of beast [burnt offering],
A--C neither of any manner of fowl [burnt offering];
A-B for it shall not be a human sacrifice;
AA but it must be an INFINITE AND ETERNAL sacrifice.
-BA 11 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood which will atone for the sins of another.
-B-B Now, if a man murdereth [when we sin we, we cause our own death]
-B--CA behold will our law, which is just,
-B--CB take the life of his brother?
-B--CA I say unto you, Nay.
-B--CB12 But the law requireth the life of him
-B-B who hath murdered;
-BA therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement which will suffice for the sins of the world.
--C 13 Therefore, it is EXPEDIENT that there should be a GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE,
-BA and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood [law of Moses];
-B-B then shall the law of Moses [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] be fulfilled;
-B--C yea, it shall be all fulfilled,
-B--C every jot and tittle [pointed to in the daily performances and ordinances],
-B-B and none shall have passed away [been omitted https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/pass ].
-BA 14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law [of Moses, daily performances and ordinances],
AA EVERY WHIT POINTING [TYPES] TO THAT GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE [OF THINGS TO COME];
A-B and that GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE
A-B will be the SON OF GOD [ELOHIM],
AA yea, INFINITE AND ETERNAL.

That does not describe my belief, but if that is the ad homonym you wish to employ to refute those restoration verses, so be it.

For me, it is very clear what Nephi and Isaiah were teaching of the "restoration".

Actually it does, you believe JS was only to translate the BoM and you go off on this high horse a lot. And you say what he did after was not of YHWH as he claimed it was, making him a liar and a false prophet.

Funny stuff. Where does God call JS a prophet? He crowned himself a prophet. We know what happens to that kind of person…. Huh? He had one gift ONLY.

We simply are not going to agree.
