The Cleansing of the Lord's House and the Truth that Jesus IS God, the Eternal Father!

The LDS Church needs to REPENT of polygamy, masonry, and altering the Book of Mormon, a record of ancient Americans e.g. the "other sheep" that Jesus Christ visited after His Resurrection and Ascension! "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16).

TRUTH VERSUS TRADITION! Which do you choose?

"For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him. And behold, how oft you have transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men. For behold, you should not have feared man more than God. Behold, thou art Joseph, and thou was chosen to do the work of the Lord, but because of transgression, if thou art not aware thou wilt fall." D&C 3:3-9

Joseph was called to restore the Original Book of Mormon which states that polygamy is an ABOMINATION unto the Lord! Jacob 2:23-24. Polygamy was the reason for the destruction of the Nephites; Jacob 2 chapter 3! The Book of Mormon also warns against the learned men, altering the words of the Book of Mormon, secret combinations, secret, satanic blood oaths, having Kings rule over you - which all Presidents/"Profits", i.e. Prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been acting as "Kings" (even proclaimed by Brigham Young) in fulfillment of Daniel's prophecies. (see Daniel II on this site) The Original Book of Mormon (now altered) is a 2nd witness to the Bible and clarifies the identity that Jesus is God, the Eternal Father who came to this earth as a man with a veil to take upon himself our sins. The record-keeping people of the ancient Americas are some of the "other sheep" that Christ visited after His Resurrection. We've had 6,000 years of Lucifer's influence on this earth and men's interpretations of controlling religion. Become as a pure-hearted children willing to be taught the truths coming forth today with the inspired internet which is not able to be controlled by conspiring men and is fulfilling the prophecy of the "sins being shouted from the rooftops."

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE (with repetition of first paragraph):

As we briefly stated earlier, the plain and precious truths presented here have a firm foundation of not only a deep, clear understanding of the scriptures, but a profound Near Death Experience (NDE) experienced at the pure age of 10. There is precedence of a similar “calling” given to Mormon, a great ancient American Prophet and compiler of the Golden Plates/Book of Mormon. He was also called by the Lord at the age of 10. This NDE was preceded by 3 dreams experienced and recorded in personal history journals written by his Mother and Father. He was taught in Heaven for 3 days while his body was in a coma after being accidentally shot and miraculously being healed. While he was in the St. Mary's Hospital in Tucson, Arizona, the Prophet David O. McKay and all of the Apostles prayed for this young boy. There were concerned for the father, who brought in billions of dollars as head geologist for the church would be arrested for negligent homicide. All of these LDS Leaders received an impactful spiritual witness (probably the first in their lives), that this young boy had an important mission for the Lord.

This is why throughout his life; there was an open-door policy with these brethren. It was in the SLC temple with Howard W. Hunter as his escort before going on a mission that this pure man of God refused to take the satanic blood oath or to consecrate everything to the church instead of to the Lord. Permission was given to bypass these two satanic requirements by Howard W. Hunter and David O. McKay. David O. McKay was told to repent as well as all the other individuals especially Hinckley "whose words are unto God but whose hearts are far from Him". It was Howard W. Hunter that performed his wedding in the SLC temple. He was given the Spencer W. Kimball Scholarship award without applying for it. He was called by a repenting Ezra Taft Benson to be a BYU Bishop. After President Benson declared "We are a condemned church" he was physically silenced because of the serious "satanic" blood oath of loyalty to the brethren and not to God that Howard W. Hunter personally revealed is taken when men are called as Apostles. He was told in Heaven that these men were not of God but were moneychangers, a type and shadow today of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The teachings in Heaven included profound knowledge of the earth, the problems, the solutions, the Millennium, the importance of the true equality of women and the reason for their suppression because of Lucifer. He was also shown in detail the Cities of Commerce which are based on an Honor Code for the pure in heart; those who are willing to be taught plain and precious truths and are willing to leave behind their own agendas and status quo.

This is the fulfillment of "two in the field and one will be taken". The so-called “Rapture” is men’s embellishment. We live here –with Christ – learning truths during the Millennium! There will be “wake-up calls” such as the devastating major 9.0 earth quake experienced in the Atlantic Ocean, weather changes around the globe, etc. But, the Armageddon is a SPIRITUAL War! Men’s interpretation’s of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation’s Anti-Christ is uninspired as well. For example, the “10 Kings” can NOT be from Europe as the Kings there have LAND. Also the 4th Beast as mentioned by Daniel is America. For more complete explanations, please see our pages on the Daniel’s prophecies!

The Cities of Commerce will elevate the world economically, technically and spiritually with truth and freedom (no control) never before experienced. If a person chooses to not live by the Honor Code, he/she chooses to not live in the Cities. We have a solution for the problems the world is faced with today. We NOW have a contact page for positive respondents only as we are here to present truth for people to accept or reject; "to say yea or nay." We are not here to solicit argument, people, money or the corrupt egotistical ideas of men. It is NOW time, to allow connections. Thank you for researching these plain and precious truths; ponder, pray and be ready. (There is MUCH more to come!) How soon the corruption is exposed and the Cities are built depends on free agency and what each individual is doing in saving themselves and to promote these truths.

After 6,000 years of Lucifer's influence upon this earth, it is time for truth to replace tradition, for women to be equal to men in the Priesthood of God, for the control to end and for corruption to be exposed! The Truth of the Millennium is that Jesus is God, the Only God, and the Only Savior. The Truths of God have been distorted throughout the ages by the interpretations of men. On other pages we will explain the simple, easily understood interpretations of prophecies that will make so much sense!

God Bless America for the next 1,000 years with truth and the clean-up of corruption for the building of the Cities of Peace! The example of Jesus Christ will be followed as contained in the Bible AND Ancient Scriptures; such as the Sacrament, Baptism by Immersion and for the Dead (Corinthians and other pure ancient scriptures), AND Equality of Women and All Men.

Jesus taught in the Bible the importance of MARRIAGE between one man and one woman who love and honor each other and God and are equally yoked. The first miracle of Jesus performed at His own wedding to Mary Magdalene (who was never a prostitute), appeared to Mary (historically called the “Apostle to the Apostle”) FIRST after His resurrection, parable of the Bride & Bridegroom as an example of the equality state of men and women during the Millennium and the highest order of God. Ancient records state that Mary of Magdalene was the most loved of the Apostles and the others were jealous of her. Read more regarding Mary below and on the Mary Magdalene pages for an excellent, well-researched, conformational historical report!

The world has been blinded by greed, insecurities, jealousy, control, etc and the "father of lies" for 6,000 years – this corruption is being exposed and the truth is now coming out.

Mary Magdalene or Mary Magdala (the Hebrew meaning is “tower of the flock”) of Bethany, Bride of Christ, first woman Apostle and early leader of the Gospel - new truths to be established during the Millennium! According to Jewish custom at the time of Christ, it would have been impossible to be a Rabbi without being married.

Truth is coming forth during the Millennium. The Nag Hammadi Scrolls including the Gospel of Mary (see on page 3), the Gospel of Phillip, etc. gives us new insight regarding the true character of Mary of Magdala. She was never a prostitute. Controlling men have blasphemed her name in order to suppress women throughout the ages. The Gospel of Mary is an authentic ancient record along with other records which give further insight concerning the spirituality and status of Mary of Magdalene. It also shows (along with the other records for confirmation) the hot-tempered, jealousy and fearfulness of Peter. (It was NOT upon the "rock" of Peter that the Gospel was to be built but upon the "rock" of revelation!) It was Mary that consoled the other Apostles when they were afraid of being killed as Jesus was killed. It was Mary who received a vision and further teachings from the resurrected Jesus. It was Mary who was loved above all other women and above the rest of the Apostles. Read all of the ancient Gospels not included in the Bible by controlling men and you have the key information to determine with spiritual insights that Mary was the first woman Apostle and wife of Jesus. Marriage is a holy institution. Jesus gave us the example of Baptism by Immersion why not Marriage? The truth makes sense. Jesus taught in parables so that you could determine truth upon the rock of the gospel - personal revelation based upon your willingness to be taught new truths (as a child), research, reflection and prayer. Faith without works is dead.

In the Gnostic Christian organization (influenced by Christ), a husband and wife as ONE in God, presided over the members of the congregation, each holding the priesthood equally and both male and female taught the congregation. No more "boys club" separating men and women, taking the man out of the home and submitting the woman to being less than the man before God. No more late night interviews between Bishops (who have sometimes strayed) and women. The mistranslations, embellishments, deletions of controlling men to undermine women will be corrected during the Millennium.

The 24 Apostles spoken of in Revelations in the Millennium will be 12 women and 12 men who are actual witnesses of Christ to preach repentance! They will teach correct principal to the people and let them govern themselves. These individuals will have nothing to do with finances - they will not be moneychangers! Women are excellent communicators of Truth and examples of living by the Spirit who are equal to men in the eyes of God! Please read the well-researched paper on Mary Magdalene; women will love it and recognize the truth and men without egos and insecurities will enjoy the truth as well. Utah is the #1 state in the nation for depression (also rape, murder of women, and child abuse) because they are suppressed whether at home or at work!

The MKUltra mind control atrocities now being exposed in the Iraq prison tortures (find the leaders who endorsed the torture) are an example of corruption no longer having darkness to hide in. Senator Frank Church of Idaho helped to bring forth a Congressional Hearing in 1977 (available live on the internet) to expose and to stop the MKUltra Program of the CIA. Church's career was ruined because of his standing up against the most powerful, secretive, satanic/Masonic organization. The National Security Act protects the perpetrators at the top levels of government, religions, and commerce of rape, torture, murder, etc. The four prison directors selected to head up the Iraq prison system were all from Utah, were all in trouble because of legal suits against them for abuses that occurred under their directorship. (One inmate died after being restrained in a chair for 16 hours. (See Resources)

Senator Byrd (said repeatedly by informed published sources to be a loyal member of the KuKluxKlan) is quoted on page 118-119 of "Trance Formation of American", (www.trance-formation.com) a book exposing the CIA mind control, "the Danite Warriors" and the secret combinations warned of in the Book of Mormon. He was justifying the atrocities of the neo-Nazi mind control program of torture, sexual, and physical abuse, etc. (as exposed with the Iraq prison torture/abuse) as the ONLY way to bring about the prophesied Millennial Peace through CONTROL and said: after all the Pope and the Mormon Prophet are fully in support of this program.

Mind control is extreme corruption behind the public relations facade. The end to justify the means to bring about the prophesied millennium of peace by the "only" means available - CONTROL! "The only way we fail is to fail to make an excuse" or "Right or wrong we have the final say" as stated by Oscar McConkie, Jr. attorney to LDS "profit" Hinckley as heard by many witnesses in regards to a gold mine stolen by Zion's Bank. This act was supposedly justified because of the the blood oaths taken in the LDS temples to consecrate to the church everything instead of consecrating to the Lord.

Now back to our key concerns! The ancient records as compiled by Mormon, an ancient pure prophet of God contain key information of the "other sheep" who knew of Jesus and were taught by him. These records and others are witnesses of the Bible.

How important is God, truth and freedom to you or do you place a greater value on tradition and status quo? Today the internet is allowing the exposure of corruption and the spread of truth and it cannot be stopped! Too many good-hearted people value the truths of God and are willing to stand up and be whistleblowers. 6,000 years of Lucifer's lies, suppression of women, corruption, greed, secret combinations is now ending.

It is soon time for the Cities of Peace and Prosperity to be built -everything is prepared. There are solutions for the problems; religious and political differences and control, secret combinations, infiltration of illegal immigrants into America, poverty, addictions, sickness, poor quality, destructible structures, ignorance, etc.

The genius of God makes the very complex so simple. Jesus has prophetically stated (D&C 112, 64, 124,etc) that "cleaning up" the corruption of the LDS Church is a key to cleaning up the corruption world- wide because of the Book of Mormon (scriptures from the Lord's "other sheep") which J. Smith translated during his "good" years confirm and clarify the scriptures from the Bible.

Doctrine & Covenants Chapter 3:3-9 warned Joseph that if "he followed his OWN dictates and CARNAL DESIRES" Joseph Smith fell because he did have adulterous affairs even before he tried to justify his CARNAL DESIRES with polygamy which even in the Bible was NEVER commanded by God. Abraham lied to a Prince and to another leader, fearing man more than God because of Sarah's beauty - and had concubines because of LACK of FAITH in the Lord - consequence being Hagar and the Moslem race (all people are of God) who hates Christians - which is why the Lord tested his repentance by telling him to sacrifice Isaac.

TRUTH VERSUS TRADITION! Which do you choose?

"For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strenth, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him. And behold, how oft you have transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men. For behold, you should not have feared man more than God. Behold, thou art Joseph, and thou was chosen to do the work of the Lord, but because of transgression, if thou art not aware thou wilt fall." D&C 3:3-9

Doctrine & Covenants Chapter 3:3-9 warned Joseph that if "he followed his OWN dictates and CARNAL DESIRES" he would fall! Joseph Smith fell (even though he did have a pure heart even as King David did who was also loved by the Lord) because he had adulterous affairs even before he tried to justify his CARNAL DESIRES with polygamy which even in the Bible was NEVER commanded by God. Abraham lied to a Prince and to another leader, fearing man more than God because of Sarah's beauty - and had concubines because of LACK of FAITH in the Lord. The consequence of this act being Hagar and the Moslem race (all people are of God) who hate Christians - which is why the Lord later tested his repentance by telling him to sacrifice Isaac (also a similitude of the sacrifice of Jesus).

Joseph had his first affair even before he told Emma about polygamy - which, of course, she hated and did not believe in as it diminishes all women, did not repent daily (as we all need to) and that he would loose his spiritual gifts and become as other men if he did anything more than what he was commanded to do - restore the plain and precious truths of the Book of Mormon.

The Bible, Book of Mormon and even the movie "The Passion" teach that all religious leaders CAN unrighteously mislead the people because of their great control and desire for power. Roger Williams (founder of the first American Baptist Church in 1639 after being banished from Massachusetts because of their allegiance to British Rule) eventually became a "seeker" - leaving organized religion - because he had to follow his heart rather than the "rules". He "outrageously" believed the American Indians should be paid for their land.

"As for the Wisdom who is called 'the barren,' she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the Savior is Mary Magdalene. But Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on her mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, 'Why do you love her more than all of us?' The Savior answered and said to them 'Why do I not love you like her?" - Gospel of Philip

"...The (Gnostic) Gospel of Mary depicts Mary Magdalene (never recognized as an apostle by the orthodox) as the one favored with visions and insight that far surpass Peter's. The Dialogue of the Savior praises her not only as a visionary, as the apostle who excels all the rest. She is the 'woman who knew the ALL'" -Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Gospels

The Original Book of Mormon (can be found on the internet) exposes significant changes made to the 2nd edition of the Book of Mormon, altered by the early leaders, being used by the LDS Church today. The plain and precious truth that Jesus Christ is the Eternal Father was altered with the second printing of the Book of Mormon. Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball (33rd degree Masons- HCK autobio, pg 11, etc) infiltrated the church and influenced the alteration of the pure Book of Mormon, brought the Masonic/satanic blood oath rituals (Moses 5:29) to the Nauvoo Temple. They also helped to bring in polygamy and TOOK AWAY the priesthood from the women and the blacks. Joseph Smith bears responsibility/liability as well. The priesthood is for everyone who has a pure heart. God is NOT racist nor values women less than men. Polygamy has ALWAYS been an abomination to God (Jacob 2: 23-24 & 3) AND was the SOLE reason for the destruction of the Nephites. (Some Nephites were prompted earlier by the Spirit and left with Hagoth on ships for the "Islands of the Seas.")

In the Original Book of Mormon we can read hundreds of examples such as "Mary, mother of God" and "Jesus, yea the Eternal Father", etc. 1 Nephi 13:40 "And the Angel spake unto me, saying: these last records (Book of Mormon), which thou hast seen among the Gentiles (members of the church), shall establish the truth of the first (the Bible), which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them (the Bible AND the Book of Mormon); and shall make known to all kindred’s, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Eternal Father (Original Book of Mormon version), and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved."

The plain and precious truths of the Book of Mormon were taken out by Masonic "learned men" who were a part of the "blood oath" secret combinations as warned of in the Book of Mormon. The Masonic blood oath secret covenant is still operating today with religion, government, commerce and judicial corruption being exposed with truth. Many examples are given of latter-day prophecies, types and shadows and how they are being fulfilled today.

The greatest gift to be given to this world is free agency and truth. Men throughout the ages have altered the pure and simple words of truth to take away our free agency. Women have allowed it. It is now time to restore truth which was given to the earth in a pure form, but then altered by men with evil intent. The Original Book of Mormon is a pure history recorded by men who did counsel with the Lord. This history records the good and bad choices of the ancient civilizations who inhabited the Americas. It is important to read the Original Book of Mormon for an understanding of the Lord’s truth and to learn from the Ancient Americans’ mistakes and also from their triumphs. There are some misspelled words, grammatical errors, etc. from the translation/scribe process. This book is pure, not perfect and the Lord mentions how he feels about those who feel perfection is more important that purity.

During a three-day Near Death Experience, one individual was called by the Lord to restore this Original Book of Mormon to the Latter-day Saints to wake them up to the apostasy and condemnation of the Church and why it is necessary to clean up the Lord’s House as prophesied. It is not our intent to "throw the baby out with the bath water" but to restore the truth of the identity of Jesus Christ as God. The truth of the First Vision of Joseph Smith needs to be restored, as well, to the original version which Joseph Smith wrote with his own hand declaring that the Lord appeared to him; one personage not two as the later versions stated. Joseph Smith also originally gave the priesthood to women and to blacks. This equality of all in the eyes of God also needs to be restored. Women are equal in worth to men - women do not want to be "saved" by men which diminish free agency but to be responsible for their own progression and have the inherent right to communicate with the Lord themselves. In other ancient scriptures the husband and the wife acted as ONE and were called to be a "Bishop" over the "ward" with the wife over the women and the husband over the men and counseling with each other.

The Book of Mormon was written by many ancient prophets by the spirit of prophecy and revelation. Their words were quoted and abridged by a prophet-historian named Mormon around 350 A.D. The record gives an account of two great civilizations. One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C. and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites. The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel. This group is known as the Jaredites. After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites who were the principal ancestors of the American Indians and those Nephites who were blessed and followed inspiration and left by ship to settle and populate in other lands (Isles of the Sea) prior to the destruction of the Nephites at the time of Mormon.

Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: "I told the brethren that the (Original) Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." The Book of Mormon is a pure and simple history with tremendous examples to learn from. When the people lived righteously, they were blessed; when they put money or power (government, commerce, religion and traditions) before God who is Jesus Christ the people died spiritually. It is the same today.

After Mormon completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah. On September 21, 1823, the same Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and taught him about his responsibility to translate this ancient record.

It took four years of Joseph Smith repenting, being taught by Moroni and finally understanding who it was that Heaven required him to have with him before the plates would be delivered to Joseph. The person Heaven required to be there with Joseph before he would be given the plates was Emma Hale representing the equality of men and women in the eyes of God. Joseph Smith being given the authority by God, gave the priesthood to women and to blacks. These rights were unrighteously dissolved by Brigham Young, a high degree mason, and other masons (secret combinations, as warned of in the Book of Mormon). The Lord would have us be pure and open as a child (not perfect).

A good example is the original open ceremony of the Kirkland Temple validated by Heaven with Spiritual manifestations to everyone - members and non-members. Jesus taught us to only say "yea or nay" in all of our dealings and to never swear any secret/blood oaths as initiated in the Nauvoo Temple. The Lord is about truth not secrets. It’s wiser to consecrate everything unto the Lord not to any man or church of this earth who would then be justified in that power to take advantage and control requiring "blind obedience" which violates our free agency.

Joseph Smith warned us about blind obedience in the Millennial Star #14 #38, Pages 593-595 "We have heard men who hold the priesthood remark that they would do anything they were told to do by those who preside over them (even) if they knew it was wrong; but such obedience as this is worse than folly to us; it is slavery in the extreme; and the man who would thus degrade himself, should not claim a rank among intelligent beings...A man of God would despise the idea. Others in the extreme exercise of their almighty authority have taught that such obedience was necessary and that no matter what the saints were told to do by their presidents, they should do it without any questions. When Elders of Israel will so far indulge in these extreme notions of obedience as to teach them to the people, it is generally because they have it in their hearts to do wrong themselves."

Joseph Smith after receiving the plates from Angel Moroni then translated them by the gift and power of God. This record is now a witness that Jesus Christ is the living God and that all may come unto him. The Lord is no respecter of persons nor lineage and anyone may be called of him. An example of this is Samuel the Lamanite called by the Lord as (written about in the Book of Mormon) who was called to cry repentance to the Nephites. Samuel, a Lamanites proves that anyone can repent and come unto God. The Lord earlier had cursed the Lamanites because of their hard hearts. They at times repented and in the end most of the Nephites became abominable (practiced polygamy) and were destroyed by the Lamanites.

The Book of Mormon gives many examples of the corruption of leaders, lawyers, judges, and kings. One very wicked King Noah was the "leader of the church" with 12 high priests. This King flattered the people, built many great and spacious buildings and even temple(s). Three times in the book of Mosiah it warns that this would be repeated in the latter-days and is a prophetic type and shadows of events today. We are the "Gentiles" who have rejected the pure and simple truths of the ORIGINAL Book of Mormon that Jesus is God.

We pray, of course, to God the Eternal Father in the name of Christ as this was the name of the Lord when He loved us so much that He came to this earth as a man. (Mosiah 15:1-5) Those who ask in faith will gain a testimony of the original Book of Mormon’s truth and divinity by the power of the Spirit of God.

After reading and pondering the pure and simple truths of the Original Book of Mormon it’s not hard to comprehend that Joseph Smith was pure-hearted WHEN he repented and did receive divine answers and translated from ancient records this pure history and second witness that Jesus is God, but he sadly failed to repent and did fall just like David and Solomon. King David before he died having repented told his son Solomon to remember that each individual can have talk with God so go with your pure heart rather believe in any man or woman (including “prophets.”)

The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection. There was darkness for three days all over the world with dreadful destruction of the earth. After the third day the Savior ascended from the Heavens in Great Power and Glory appearing to those parts of the world that were worthy of the Savior's Ascension as it had been foretold. THIS WAS THE PROPHESIED SECOND COMING! Jesus Christ taught, blessed and administered to the Nephites and their children, fulfilling all Old Testament prophesies of His Second Coming. Today, the Lord comes to the pure in heart as a “Thief in the Night.”

As in Jerusalem with 5,000 being raised from the dead, the dead in the Americas were raised as well! Jesus prophetically foretold that he would rise up the "Temple" in three days and ascend from the clouds in great power and great glory. This happened! Yet, men being blinded by their own interpretations of the scriptures are just as unaware of the truth as the Sadducees and Pharisees regarding the Savior. In the Americas there was peace in the land for 200 years because of the spiritual impact and power of this event. Much was so incredible that it could not be written. This event happened all over the world to those who were worthy of it as recorded in the Bible and other ancient scriptures. Today, we should be looking for the Savior to come as a Thief in the night. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" is a promise for everyone if they can overcome themselves and the world.

In addition to Joseph Smith, the Lord provided for eleven others to see the gold plates for themselves and to be special witnesses of the truth and divinity of the Book of Mormon. Their written testimonies are included herewith as "The Testimony of Three Witnesses" and "The Testimony of Eight Witnesses." Many of these Apostles left the church because of abominable practices by unrepentant leaders which brought the church into condemnation by the Lord (D&C 124) such as polygamy (Jacob 2:23-24), masonry with it's blood oath (Moses 5:29) still implied in the temples today, and the alteration to the Book of Mormon (1Nephi 13:40), but they NEVER denied their testimony of the Book of Mormon.

The Lord loves purity not perfection. The Lord established his position regarding the spelling and grammatical errors of the Original Book of Mormon. (Ether 12:23-26) "And I said unto him, Lord, the Gentiles will mock at these things, because of our weakness in writing: ... for thou hast made all this people that they could speak much, because of the Holy Ghost which thou has given them;...when we write, we behold our weakness and stumble because of the placing of our words; and I fear lest the Gentiles shall mock at our words. And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying fools mock but they shall mourn..." The Lord loves the purity of the Original Book of Mormon - He does not care that there are grammatical and spelling errors just as he loves the children in their purity. It is only the learned/natural men; "enemies" to God who are critical "fools".

In 1632, John Lathrop gave up his vast wealth and social status as a Deacon of the Church of England to protest the political control of religious leaders. He and his followers were imprisoned in England because of their defiance. When John's wife died, his son bribed a guard and John and his congregation managed to escape to America. John Lathrop protested the religious control of politics, judicial enforcement and economics. What can we learn from men who gave up everything to stand up for truth against the control of corrupt religious leaders?

Today, that same unrighteous control exists. John Lathrop was one of the founders of the Baptist/Christian Church in America.

God is about truth and full-disclosure, getting back to the pure and spiritual truths, equality for women in the priesthood as Disciples of Christ, reversing the historic suppression of women and truth that Jesus is God, the Eternal Father!

Free e-book at Google books on the true history of Ann Eliza Young, the 19th wife of Brigham Young who divorced him along with nine other wives. Please note that even though she reports much corruption in the church, she truly comments that in the beginning before polygamy and masonry the people were happy and the gospel was pure and precious! http://www.19thwife.com/ann.html
