[TruthTalk] Dave, what does thi versemean to you?

2006-01-02 Thread Charles Perry Locke
Dave, will you tell us the mormon interpretation (or, at the very least, 
your interpretation) of the following verse? Exactly what is Paul trying to 
say here?


1 cor 9:14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the 
gospel should receive their living from the gospel.


Thanks,
Perry

DAVEH: I'm not sure why you want to know my opinion on this, Perry.
I thought you might prefer to delete my posts instead of responding to
them, as you might think it would give me platform to preach
Mormonism.  :-) 

 I don't see that Paul's mission was any different than the current
day apostle of the LDS Church. He/they are a special witness of our
Lord, Jesus Christ. I view their missions as being to testify of
Jesus to as many people as they can. To do that efficiently, requires
that they not tarry much to perform baptisms. That may have been
particularly pertinent to Paul, as I suspect finding bodies of water
sufficient for immersive baptisms would have occupied a fair amount of
his time in an arid climate without the modern transportation
conveniences we have now. Even so, baptisms can easily be performed by
those given the authority to do so who are not so time constrained,
which is the case now as it was in Jesus' time. We do not have record
of our Lord performing baptisms, yet he set the example by being
baptized himself. Why would we expect Paul (or latter-day apostles) to
be any different?

Dave, do the present day apostles in the LDS organization travel and 
experience the kinds of apostolic signs and wonders that Paul did?  When I 
asked Blaine about his testimony of miracles, it became a kind of second 
person thing, not things that he directly witnessed.  I seem to remember you 
mentioning meeting one of the apostles before.  Did you witness any kind of

Do the sick line up at their meetings hoping for a healing?  What are the

2006-01-02 Thread Dave





Dave, do the present day apostles in the LDS organization travel and 
experience the kinds of apostolic signs and wonders that Paul did? 


DAVEH: I believe it happens, but as Blaine also mentioned.I do
not have personal experience or direct witness of such. 

 I seem to remember you 
mentioning meeting one of the apostles before.


DAVEH: I had an interview with Spencer W Kimble while on my mission in
England about 36 years ago. Not only was he an apostle, but
eventually became the prophet of the Church prior to his death. The
interview occurred right at about noon, and he asked me if I'd mind
chatting with him while he ate lunch. I said it would be no problem,
and he reached beneath the table and picked up a paper bag, which had a
homemade sandwich in it which he then proceeded to eat. I think he had
a piece of fruit as well, but I really don't remember for sure. It was
a relatively interesting experience for me that probably doesn't happen
to many LDS kids. 

 I was bragging about that experience (I've since repented!) to a
group of brethren at Church once, and a good friend of mine topped my
experience a hundredfold. He was in a neighboring mission (in London)
at the same time, and because of his diligence in his work, he was
invited out to a steak dinner with SWK shortly after he left our
mission. 

 I don't know why I needed to share that with all of TT, as I
suspect like you found with Lance, others might mock the special
experiences we have.and, I rather found my (and my friend's)
experience with SWK to be a little bit special.

Did you witness any kind of 
special miracles like what we read about in Scriptures?

DAVEH: No. And if I had, I'd be very reluctant to share it on TT.

Does the Mormon 
church report your apostles raising the dead or healing the sick regularly? 

DAVEH: No, the details of such things are rarely discussed, except by
word of mouth.

Do the sick line up at their meetings hoping for a healing?

DAVEH: No, such things are almost always done in private.

What are the 
modern apostolic meetings like in your church?


DAVEH: Typically, the General Authorities (which may include leaders
other than the apostles) meet in mass meetings once a year or so for
each area. The last one I attended was held in the Rose Garden, which
is one of the few places locally that can easily accommodate upwards of
20k. Basically, the fly in for a day or so, and have a couple large
meetings in the area, and I suspect they have a few smaller ones as
well, but I have not been privy to any of them, except for some
interesting anecdotal stories that I've heard over the years. 

 We do have two General Conferences each year, as you might know.
That allows the gospel to be taught to the LDS folks without the need
for so much travel involved.
With the ease of modern communications, it is easy for most (American,
anyway) LDS folks to see and hear the testimonies of the apostles twice
a year. Have you ever watched one of the Conferences on TV? I'm
pretty sure you would find them quite different than anything you might
experience in the Protestant realm. If anything, you might find them a
bit boring, as they do not try to put on a show or turn their messages
into a form of entertainment.
