O hallowed land, a land of beauty, a land of tears. I have served thee on the desert sands and upon the deep, and for this I have wept and lost many nights of sleep. And should you need redeeming by the shedding of blood, I will gladly bleed and serve thee once more.
@Lawton_Braves@Brittainiconn Do not fear, for the Great Spirit shall be on the left and on thy right. Though the enemy may encompass you about and prance like wolves, the Great Spirit is always near.
Indeed, it has never had a king, but the scriptures, especially that which you reference and others, imply that an attempt will be made to enthrone one. And when that day comes, many of the right-wingers, and perhaps even some of the left and anchor babies, will uphold and seek to support such efforts for potential benefits and patronage from the would-be king they assist in destroying the lives of others.
@Lawton_Braves Those cops are no better than the perpetrators and should be treated accordingly: as invaders aiding and abetting the downfall of civilization!
I love the sentiment; however, many have lost discernment and many other spiritual gifts due to neglect and drinking from the fountains of Babylonian wine. Too few have received nourishment in our wards and branches because too few of our leaders have any adept knowledge about any the scriptures or spiritual things in general. In fact, they are like Nicodemus whom the Lord chided for his lack of understanding, though he be a supposed master in Israel. Many will fall.
@BlackBlessedLDS I'm gonna be like Jesus and take a hard stance against the ecclesiastical leadership of my day; the seers of Ephraim are drunkards on the wine of self-delusion.
Why choose such candidates? He’s placating the youth and those inculcated with tolerance for such types by public and higher education. Should anyone speak out about the wholesale support of faggotry by the Church, the PR department and those who vetted these (obviously the brethren) count on the soft-headed groupies to rally around the cause of the Church and publically shame those who dared question it. The main objective is to stamp out any vestiges of traditional Mormonism—mark my words!!!
Think of it: you have a PR operative (supposedly not vetting his chosen candidates for his PR spotlights) continuing to push the same agenda as leftists in many Western universities do, influencing soft-headed groupies who rarely have thoughts of their own. He knows that the manner of teaching promulgated from the pulpit by Nelson of recent years has laid the groundwork for suicidal empathy.
@nicoraytruth@ThoughtfulSaint There's no doubt the Church has gone rogue and has rebelled against the Lord; those who will say "the brethren didn't authorize this" are the ones the brethren are banking on to take to social media and defend them, all the while behind the scenes condoning this.
