But, Blaine, you said "[OG] was obviously one who impressed Joseph Smith"...
so who wrote D&C 117:12? JS or god? Do you think JS was putting words in
gods mouth?

I don't follow along with this thread as much as I should. Is Oliver
Granger a real character or is he someone who will receive the name
"Oliver
Granger?" I am not sure (emphasis on "not sure") that you have answered
Perry's
question. Perhaps you did -- and the answer is bound to the questions I
raise as I preview your response.
JD
Doctrine and Covenants, section 117:12 JS wrote the following
"prophecy":
"And again, I say unto you, I remember my servant Oliver Granger; behold,
verily I say unto him that his name shall be had in sacred remembrance
from
generation to generation, forever and ever, saith the Lord."
Blaine: The above passage from the D&C is being quoted, and questioned
if
it was ever fulfilled. Oliver Granger was a real person, who lived in
JS's
time, and was apparently a faithful member of the LDS Church, and was
obviously one who impressed Joseph Smith. I simply pointed out that since
his name
was included in the D&C, a book read by millions, the prophecy was
fulfilled.
My gggrandfather baptized over a thousand people into the LDS Church, but
did not get mentioned in the D&C. Such was the case with many early
members/missionaries. So, OG must have been somebody, otherwise his name
would not
have been mentioned--and held in remembrance, in a church standard works
publication!!!
