@@SJKile Yes we need to surrender ourselves to His will and stop trusting in the arm of flesh. In the Bible and in pioneer days, it was common to heal the sick by the power of God. Miraculous healings. Even bringing people back from the dead. As the medical industrial complex descends ever further into the power of the devil, we need that power of God to return to the people even more than ever. It says in 3rd Nephi Chapter 8, that no man can perform miracles in the name of Jesus except that he is purged every whit from iniquity. We have got to stop watching Tv. Stop watching movies, stop watching the lying news, stop going to school, even stop listening to the lies we are told in Church. It all introduces sin into our hearts. Revelation 18:4 commands us to withdraw from Babylon, that we partake not of her sins that we receive not of her plagues. It might sound nuts, but as you say, the coming of the bridegroom is near, even at the doors. It is all going to end anyway.
Wow. Thankyou for your down to earth honesty regarding our awful situation. I fear things will get worse before they get better, Heavenly Father is in charge and His arm will be coming down hard on the unrepentant. Come quickly Lord Jesus. We wait with eager anticipation for the Millenium. and peace to reign.
Thank you. It truly says in the Book of Mormon that when the spirit of God completely withdraws from the people, then comes speedy destruction. It is only through the prayer's of God's sheep in their varying states of wickedness that God does not withdraw from us completely. It is only for the sakes of those sheep whom the Father has given the Savior out of the world, that the judgments are spared. That is currently the only thing holding the world together, if only the people realized it. Time in which to repent. Time which to discern between good and evil and come out of Babylon as Rev. 18 commands us. That we partake not of her sins, and receive not of her plagues. But we will never be able to escape from it if we continue to remain plugged into it. I speak for myself as well as everyone.

In a way, Christianity does not exist because it is not a religion. For the sake of argument, let's define it as the children of God, which does exist. If you look the word up in the Webster's 1828, you will note that it is not there because being a Christian is not a religion. However, the Church exists, the Christians exist, they are one and the same. Sure, you could make a religion or a cult out of anything, including "being a Christian", but that's not what God wants. And said religion, or cult, could be good or bad, ugly or beautiful. Mormonism is a religion, its leader is said to be greater than logic, truth, or even God. For this reason, it can truly be defined as a cult. It does no good to complain about cults, if you are in one and everyone can see it. I feel that objectively, the LDS fits the definition of Mystery Babylon, as a part of it. Mystery Babylon appears to be symbolic of any or all religions of the world, and could never include the Christians.
In John Chapter 15, Jesus exhorted His disciples to be one with each other and one with Jesus, as Jesus is one with His Father in Heaven. But in modern Christianity, there is no oneness, there are now forty thousand differing denominations and counting. Why is that so? Because the devil divides and conquers. His kingdom is built through division and conflict. When Jesus ordained His apostles to lead the early Church, the Church was one in all things. But after they went the way of the earth, the Church began to divide and fracture, just as the early Christian writer Hegesippus chronicled. And the Christian churches continued to fracture and divide until the third century when the Romans seized control and forced unity in the Churches throughout the empire. And that oppression of forced unity continued until the reformation period with the rise of the Protestant churches. Which again began the process to fractionalize and divide. The devil infiltrates and eventually controls every institution on earth, and always has. In the Bible the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of this world, and promised them to Jesus if He would bow down and worship the devil. That is because the devil controlled them all then.. And in these last days which are as wicked as the days of Noah, the devil has a firm grasp with his awful chains on every major institution in this world. And that includes the LDS Church. You are correct in that assessment. Like in Elijah's day, the leaders of this church have become a law unto themselves. Everything has become polluted and corrupted, and there is no place clean. Like Isaiah says, all tables are covered in vomit. All Churches on earth have come under the dominion of Satan. They are all wrong. They have all become a part of mystery Babylon. They are all teaching priest craft and lies in tandem with everything else. Everything we are told on tv and radio is a lie. Everything we are taught in school is a lie. The very food we eat and medicine we take is a lie, and it is designed to enslave and destroy us. Rev 18:23 says by thy pharmakea were all nations deceived. We are deceived and lied to about everything. Early Christian literature says that in the last days Enoch and Elijah will return to the earth and expose the lies of the antichrist to the world. In revelation 11, it says two prophets will stand on the streets of Jerusalem and hold the entire world at bay for three and a half years while they prophesy the truth. When they are finished they will be slain, and the world will see it probably on television and celebrate and give gifts one to another. After three days their bodies will be resurrected. The bible also says the earth will mourn and the coming of the Savior. All of us are living in mystery Babylon. But not all of us have bowed our knee, as the children of Israel once bowed their knee unto Baal.
@@smallhelmonabigship3524 That's why I don't know how to identify myself, which group would I belong to? I love Jesus Christ, He loves me. He shows up for me whenever I need Him. And when I died, He took me straight home to God. Now which denomination would that be? The best argument for the LDS being "Christian" is the one you just stated. They are extremely divided. Here there are at least a couple dozen denominations of LDS. And I'm not sure that "denominations" is the right word because they are not only different, some really hate each other. When I was around 3 years old, I learned about God from God. I don't recall anyone telling me about Him. I knew God existed, and that He was watching over me. I remember being too afraid to look up, not because I was afraid of Him per se, but because He was so great and powerful. So when they told me about God, I was double-checking them with what I already knew to be true. And when they told me about Jesus, I knew that was true because that was the kind of thing I knew He would do, that He would come for me, even me -- which made no sense unless He truly loved all of us. Again, which denomination is this? I would pray these agonizing prayers to Him. Later, when I learned to read, I read the Bible. When I came to Lamentations, right there, word-for-word, were my prayers to God. How is that possible? Not all of Lamentations, just the relevant parts that had meaning between God and myself personally. I watched the Spirit of the Antichrist creep into the churches -- at least to a degree. God took me out of the equation, I was severely disabled for decades. I feel like a modern day Rip Van Wrinkle. But I have seen many miracles, preformed many miracles -- but it was like when I've died over and over in that I'm fantastic at dying, but have no power whatsoever to raise myself from the dead or to perform miracles of myself -- that must be of and from God. I don't believe it will be Enoch and Elijah -- sure it could be. But I think it will be the Old and the New Covenants. Just like Death and Hell are real angels, I think that they are manifested as well. In many respects, I must agree with you. But Christians and so-called Christians are near opposites.
@@archangel_one I very much enjoyed reading that from you for a change. You can take this or leave it, but this is what I have been made to understand. If you draw a circle on a page and label it members of the kingdom of God. then you draw another overlapping circle on the same page and label it members of the churches. It does not matter which church that is, be it Catholic, Protestant, new age, Jewish, LDS or what have you. If you look at that these two overlapping circles, not every member of the kingdom of God belongs to the churches. And not every member of the churches belongs to the kingdom of God. Now I want you to consider this quote that applies to people exactly like you. I am asking you to be open minded enough to at least consider it: 10. Wherefore, O ye children of men, turn ye from all your vain delusions, and I the Lord your God, even your Savior, will show you the way; and again, as in days of old, make plain to you the path which leadeth unto life eternal. 11. And now behold, there are many ten-thousand who will do this; and they are unto me as mine Israel in the day when the Prophet Elijah sorrowed because he alone was left of all those who worshipped the true and living God, and I showed unto him that seven thousand of the children of Israel had not bent the knee unto Baal, 12. Of such is the Kingdom of heaven, They are they which have believing hearts, and are lowly of spirit; and they will hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. They are mine, saith the Lord, and I will preserve them and keep them in the hollow of my hand. Now concerning the return of Elijah, the Bible says: "5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." - Malachi chapter 4 Enoch and Elijah returning to the earth in the last days to expose the antichrist are early Christian beliefs. Such beliefs were later rejected at the formation of the Roman Catholic Church in the third century AD, which carried over into modern Christianity. From what I have studied there is a lot to indicate it is true, that they may indeed be the two prophets spoken of by John in revelation chapter 11. But of course I do not know for sure. Only time will tell. I believe that the closer to the source you go, the more likely you are to learn the truth. That is why I do not put any stock whatsoever in the teachings of modern Christianity. I can tell you right now, they are not even close to primitive Christianity.
@@smallhelmonabigship3524 Not to sure what your circle within a circle is supposed to mean? I understand "the Church" as being those who Jesus Christ purchased with His Blood at the cross -- they belong to Him. That would indeed include those like me. Concerning the demon's reference, "Wherefore, O ye children of men, turn ye from all your vain delusions..." It's out of context, blended, and mixing different things. Presumably this is done to make it sound more scriptural and to lead people away from eternal life... [Reference was to verses like Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.] But Moroni's gospel is false in that the ONLY way is Jesus Christ, God is the ONLY Savior. This is by grace through faith. See the demon's doctrine just above the quote, namely verses 8 & 9 refer to "even to observe the ordinances of mine Everlasting Gospel" which in contrary to Gospel verses like... Tit 3:5 *Not by works of righteousness which we have done*, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Tit 3:7 *That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.* We are no longer under the Law, but under Grace. We can and should do good works, but that won't save us. Isa_64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and *all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;* and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. *You see, Moroni was preaching a DIFFERENT GOSPEL there.* Php 3:9 And be found in him, *not having mine own righteousness,* which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. *Concerning the two witnesses...* I don't believe it is Elijah because Jesus Himself said that John the Baptist fulfilled that role during His time. Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. Mat 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. I don't believe it is Enoch, for this is not prophesized of him. I believe that the two witnesses are heavenly beings, perhaps greater than the angels. Probably beings like this... Eph_3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: These witnesses both have properties of the Word of God, so that's why I'm thinking that they are the manifestations of the OT and the NT. They could be Law and Grace. Consider Galatians chapter 4, especially... Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Tit 3:5 *Not by works of righteousness which we have done*, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Tit 3:7 *That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.*
We are no longer under the Law, but under Grace. We can and should do good works, but that won't save us.
Isa_64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and *all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;* and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
*You see, Moroni was preaching a DIFFERENT GOSPEL there.*
Php 3:9 And be found in him, *not having mine own righteousness,* which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
*Concerning the two witnesses...*
I don't believe it is Elijah because Jesus Himself said that John the Baptist fulfilled that role during His time.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Mat 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
I don't believe it is Enoch, for this is not prophesized of him.
I believe that the two witnesses are heavenly beings, perhaps greater than the angels. Probably beings like this...
Eph_3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
These witnesses both have properties of the Word of God, so that's why I'm thinking that they are the manifestations of the OT and the NT. They could be Law and Grace.
Consider Galatians chapter 4, especially...
Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
