The Non-Constitutional And Non-Scriptural Church. Why Should It Be Supported?

[Pathway2DaCross]

The Profit tells the membership. Every WORTHY Young male should prepare and serve a mission. The next question. Is the profit WORTHY? Do what I say. Not what I do. He had Every opportunity to during his time. Especially during war and postwar era. I guess his career was more important.

No one in the First Presidency served a full-time mission.

Which is very interesting. Now, I do not judge anyone for not serving a mission, but doesn't this seem odd? Is this the first time in church history the entire FP lacked an RM?

Speaking of micro-managing and testifying of one another I got this email from HQ this morning:

No

I believe you. But when was the last one?

Thomas S Monson, Henry B Eyring, Dieter F Uchtdorf (2008-2018)

There could be more, but I don’t know.

Well I feel embarrassed I couldn't think of that on my own, right away.

Thanks!

Well, not to their fold. That would make them thieves like the men who lead the Church right now. I think you meant to the fold, meaning the Lord's fold.

Not surprising. Is this the church of general conference?

Is there a common characteristic of all the prophets in our scriptures?

We know that not all prophets are on the same level. Not all healed the sick, not all saw the Lord with their eyes. Not all did supernatural things.

But I do contend that all of them heard the literal words of the Lord and wrote them down to preserve them as a matter of record for future people.

Who was the last LDS leader to write down the literal words of the Lord and why?

Well, first off, the very definition of a prophet of God is one who hears God’s voice. Exactly how this person hears God is subject to the individual, but there are a series of tell-tale signs and manifestations. I think there are many “prophets” in the sense that they are inspired with truth from on high by the Spirit. Which also reinforces the role of the Holy Ghost in conveying the mind and will of God to us.

Moses invited us all to become prophets.

I only have the scriptures to use as a measuring stick.


Do you at least agree that there has been a clear demarcation of this very thing in modern day leaders of the LDS Church?

If so, what is the reason for it?

Prophets also do not urge their members to be "Good Global Citizens". AKA join with secret combinations. (U.N., W.E.F., etc)

[LDS Physician]

The Lord defined what a prophet is in Numbers 12:

"Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream."

And since DHO has admitted that none of them have had any of the above manifestations, I suppose this means they're not prophets.

3 of the last 4 came from inactive or semi active families.

Monson's and Nelson's parents weren't active LDS. Hunter's mom was active LDS, dad was not. Hinckley's were active LDS.

I don't doubt it.
I'm not sure of the reason, I think there is probably more than one.
But the leadership is generally a reflection of the members. In other words we get the leaders, prophets or otherwise, that we deserve.

I don't think that's a true doctrine when it comes to prophets. World leaders, yes... But it seems that the Lord always calls someone to preach His Word to the wicked.

[SJR3t2]

prophets testify boldly of Yeshua and prophecy
seers translate not pay others to translate
revelators reveal new things that don't contradict what YHWH has already said.
