jt: Not so DaveH, the sealed book spoken of by the prophet
Isaiah in Is 29:11-18 is the Scripture. No prophecy of scripture is
interpreted independently it must fit in with the rest of scripture and
there should be two or more clear witnesses in the rest of the Bible.
Isaiah here is speaking of Israel's restoration in the Messianic Age
and there are many corresponding scriptures Isa 35:3-6 is one. I've read
that JS was upset with what he saw in the churches and can understand this
sentiment but he was deceived by the angel and the Jesus of the LDS is
'another Jesus'
DAVEH: I'm not
sure why you think such, though you are right......I've heard it many
times on TT.
jt: Probably because as the
scriptures say "His sheep recognize His
voice and another voice they do
not follow" The Jesus of Mormonism is 'another voice'
DAVEH: FTR......My Jesus
died for me that I will live again. That is one very important part
of salvation.....to overcome physical death. He also atoned for my
sins IF I availeth myself to him and endure to the end.......THEN I will
"achieve" full salvation. Now understand this, Judy. That I
have to take some steps by myself to reach that point where I can return
to heaven, it is something I canNOT do myself alone. It is only by
virtue of our Lord's grace that I have the opportunity to reach the full
potential for which God has foreordained me to obtain. I hope that
helps you understand my belief a bit better. (And, I hope I haven't
confused you with my explanation!)
jt: This sounds a lot like the real but when you
add the ascending toward godhood and whole temple ritual thing that
is from what I've heard taken from Masonic ritual and this is the old
mystery religious stuff, the regenerative principle - it dresses itself
differently outwardly but is basically the same as the high places in
Israel when they were in apostasy and also what TPW is into.
