Blainerb: What John
and brother Moore have written below is the crux of what God
meant when he told Joseph Smith that the Protestant ministers of the day
taught doctrines of men, which had a form of Godliness, but denied the Power
thereof. In other words, they denied the "greater revelation," or the
possibility of "greater revelation" than that contained in the
Bible.
This will turn to their ultimate
condemnation, in the great hereafter, because God has all power--and is the
same today, yesterday, and forever--including having the right and ability
to give forth "greater revelation."
If the ministers of Protestant
religion do not repent of this prideful stubbornness, then I am
thinking one of the most immediate consequences will be for God to
empower the Remnant of Jacob to go through, and destroy the wonderful
civilization that has been built up over the past two
hundred years called the US of A. Those Mexicans, most of whom are
descendants of the Aztecs, who by the way worshipped
Quetzalquatl, who was described as being a White God who wore a
white robe and a beard, just keep coming over the border, don't they?
Despite efforts to stay them, and the prophecy contained in 3 Nephi of the
BoM creeps closer and closer to being fulfilled every day. I hope when
it happens, the "Remnant" will by then have recognized the LDS Church
as something other than a "White Guy's" church.
There is already evidence this is
true. The Navajo language has two words for White men: Biligana,
which is a derisive term, meaning something like, "White Enemy," and another
term which simply means "White brother." The
latter is usually applied to members of the LDS
Church.
I spent three years teaching Dine'
(Navajos) in Southern Utah, and I know that among them are many who have
adopted the Black man's symbol for Black Power--a raised, gloved
hand--except the fingers of the glove have been cut off, allowing the red
man's fingers to show through at the end of the glove, apparently
symbolizing the Red Power Movement that has grown from the Black Power
Movement.
You Protestant cowboys might do
well to strap on your six-shooters, 'cause I believe the day will soon
come when the game we played as little kids--Cowboys and Indians--may become
a nightmarish reality . .
