By This Shall All Men Know that Ye are My Disciples....
And then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came unto me. Matt 25:34-36

Enoch
Egypt acknowledged one of the exalted angels as “the great scribe,” and identified him as Thoth. His real identity is clarified in the writings of Moses as Enoch. Enoch ascended to heaven. But we do not worship him. This prophet Enoch is also known as the Archangel Raphael. “Raphael is…
What Desireth Thou? What Beholdest Thou?
When leading up to the angel’s question, “Knowest thou the condescension of God,” the text focuses exclusively on Mary. Who would you reasonably expect to be the woman chosen before this world was organized to become the mortal Mother of the Lord? Who would you expect Heavenly Father would want to bear His child, if not His Spouse?
Twelve Apostles

THE RESTORATION CONTINUES TODAY - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 07
Restoration and apostasy are constants; one or the other is underway at all times. There is never stasis for Christ's gospel. Apostasy loses, deducts, and subtracts truth. That process of losing light changes truth to error. To prevent salvation, it is not necessary for religion to become utterly corrupt; it is only necessary to change the ordinances and break the covenant.
Mary, the Elect Lady
Mary of Magdala (original Greek Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή) is described, in the New Testament, as one of the most important women associated with Jesus during his ministry. Mary inherited the position as the Temple Magdala’s High Priestess--the keeper of the Doves, the Sacred Symbol for the Holy Spirit, Chryseis Daughter--Mary…

Jesus of Nazareth

Subtly Subverting Injustice
Instead of two options ingrained in us by millions of years of threats from the environment and other people, flight or fight, Jesus offers a third way. This new way marks a historic mutation in human development. The revolt against the principle of natural selection. With Jesus a way emerges by which evil can be opposed without being mirrored.

Lighting a Prayer Candle
In the Catholic tradition, individuals light candles for memorial purposes or to signify intercessory prayers for others.

Matthew 1:10-12 And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a vision, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I bring you word, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy…
GOD'S TIMING - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 04
One of the remarkable things throughout history, is the timing of who lives at the same time. It seems as if when God chooses to change the course of human history, His most effective means to accomplish that is to send into the world the right people at the right time to facilitate a revolutionary change in the course of human history. We see that at the time of the American Revolution when there was a gathering of intellectual and moral giants in one generation living in the American colonies: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, and many others were contemporaries in the British colonies of America. These men agreed it was necessary to both rebel against a distant and unsympathetic monarch and also to replace an unresponsive government with a form of government that guaranteed individual freedom. Every one of them were needed for the revolution to succeed.
JST Restoration Version Online
Joseph Smith warned in 1831 that “except the church receive the fullness of the Scriptures that they would yet fall.” The “fullness” was defined as the Book of Mormon, the revelations, and the new, inspired Bible revisions.
EARLY ATTEMPTS AT RESTORING - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 03
While Roger Williams was patient, awaiting a restoration, Thomas Campbell aimed to actively cause one. A Scottish Presbyterian Minister who migrated to the United States in 1807, Thomas disagreed with Presbyterian teachings, leading to a split. He published a tract in 1809 titled "Declaration and Address of the Christian Association of Washington," emphasizing the promotion of simple Evangelical Christianity and rejecting human authority and opinions in matters of faith.

PROTEST - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 03
The Protestant Reformation is dated from a specific event that happened 500 years ago this coming October on Sunday, October 31, 1517. Martin Luther publicly published his list of 95 criticisms of the Catholic practice of selling indulgences. This document is referred to as the 95 Theses. The 95 Theses are a list of 95 specific criticisms about the corrupt and unscriptural practice of selling indulgences.
GOD SPEAKS AGAIN - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 04
Joseph Smith sought to restore primitive Christianity through divine revelation. At the age of 14, he had a divine experience in the woods, similar to Moses and Paul. He claimed that God and angels appeared to him, guiding him to translate an ancient book, the Book of Mormon, by divine power. Smith founded a church, translated new scriptures, and organized communities, all with the goal of restoring what he believed was lost Christianity due to apostasy.

Mary, the Mother of Christ

CONCLUSION - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 07
The Protestant Reformation dramatically impacted the world. Even the target of the protest, Roman Catholicism, was improved by the rebellion. Unchallenged Catholic hegemony over political, economic, and religious life in Europe led naturally and inevitably to abuse. When Protestants gave people a choice, it forced Catholicism to compete. An early result was the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Although The Counter Reformation also had abuses, including the Spanish Inquisition, it also made needed reforms. Catholicism attempted a much-needed return to its spiritual foundation.
Wisdom
While a great deal more could be said to demonstrate that God the Father necessarily includes God the Mother, we want to know more than merely She exists. We want to understand her character, perfections and attributes also. The Father and the Son are masculine and therefore personified by the…

Are We Paying Too Much Tithing?
We Latter-day Saints have become so accustomed these days to having false doctrine preached at us in church that we barely even blink anymore when we hear it.
Last week in my local sacrament meeting, both speakers gave talks on the same topic, the law of tithing, and both promoted views that were not only not found in God's word, but were actually outright perversions of the law.

CALVINISM - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 05
John Calvin was a contemporary of Martin Luther. Calvin's teachings developed into five Calvinist principles to summarize the core of Christian theology. These five principles are, first, the total depravity of man; second, God's unconditional election; third, a limited atonement; fourth, irresistible grace; and fifth, the perseverance of the saints. The meaning of these principles can be briefly summarized.
Backstory - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 01
There's a backstory to the commencement of the Protestant Reformation that, while it runs all the way back to the time of the post-apostolic fathers and following them, the events between the close of the New Testament and the Council of Nicaea. There were more immediate events that showed the obvious need to reform Catholicism. So, this is to discuss those more immediate events.
Removed by God
What is striking, in fact, is that the event occurred on Jorge Mario Bergoglio's birthday, the day before the publication of the "Fiducia supplicans" declaration which opens up blessings for gay couples.
This measure marked a sort of point of no return: the faithful are starting to understand that something isn't working.
About My Father's Business
And it came to pass after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, and they were hearing him and asking him questions. and all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when his parents saw him, they were amazed.
The Golden Rule

https://youtu.be/tbspakv2Fyo?si=kjMvaUvZZkMYTBGZMormonism started and, in the last years of Joseph Smith's life, returned to restoring a religion older than Christianity. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians that God preached before the gospel unto Abraham. Joseph Smith was recovering that gospel, which was also known to and practiced by Adam and…
Date of Joseph's First Vision
Working independently, John C. Lefgren and John P. Pratt give evidence for determining the date of the First Vision. Their evidence comes from these sources: (1) The personal account of Joseph Smith where he tells that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to him in the early…
Passover Promises Fulfilled, Holy Week - Part 3
And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever. And it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you, What do you mean by this service? — that you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses.
Holy Week, Part 1
This particular Passover was a Jubilee of Jubilees. It was Foreordained to the be the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Christ controlled the timing of it all, despite many previous attempts to hold him and kill him.
Principle of Action
The Lectures on Faith present a systematic exploration of what faith is, how it functions, and the conditions under which it has the power to save. Across seven lectures, Joseph Smith defines faith as the governing principle of action and power in both mortals and Gods and explains that such…
How Great is the Mercy of our God
Oh the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel. For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster, the Devil, and death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is Endless torment.2 Nephi 6:7 RE For there was a certain rich man…
Marriage & the Exaltation of Man & Woman
Marriage was established at the beginning as a covenant by the word and authority of God, between the woman and God, the man and woman, and the man and God. It was ordained by my word to endure for ever. Mankind fell, but a covenant established by my word cannot fail, and therefore in death they were not to be parted.
ESSENTIAL MISSING PARTS - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 02
The Protestant fathers achieved a great deal of good, but certain elements required for original Christianity couldn't be reformed back into existence. Reforming a corrupt institution and recovering the original requires more than human effort – it demands God's involvement and someone sent by God to undertake the work.
Archangel Gabriel
"The New Testament account begins with a lone, obscure priest, cycling through his duties at the Temple, and to his surprise, encountering a vision of the Lord’s angel, Gabriel. It wasn’t Annas, nor Caiaphus, nor any of the Chief Priests or notable scribes or lawyers. Rather it was an obscure,…
Eve, Mother of All Living
"And I, the Lord God, said unto my Only Begotten that it was not good that the man should be alone; wherefore, I will make a help meet for him. [...] And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And I took…
REJECTION - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 02
Martin Luther displayed his extraordinary courage when he publicly criticized the Catholic Church. Only before his courageous act, Catholic critics had been burned at the stake in Czechoslovakia and in Florence. When Martin Luther decided to openly criticize the church, his decision put his life at risk. This extraordinary courage was a strength shared by the other Protestant Reformation fathers. They all opposed a monolithic political, economic, religious, and even military power regarded by the European continent as the moral guide God had provided. When they opposed it, they confronted the entire culture of their day.
Annunciation & Immaculate Conception
1 Nephi 3:8-9 And it came to pass that he said unto me, Look. And I looked as if to look upon him and I saw him not, for he had gone from before my presence. And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great city Jerusalem,…
RECONSIDERING EVERYTHING - Christian Reformation Series 01: Part 06
Luther's 95 Theses. Zwingli published his 67th thesis, or criticisms of Catholicism. Unlike Luther's specific topic of the sale of indulgences, Zwingli attacked Catholicism generally. His first statement directly rejected the 1302 Catholic claim that there was no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church. Zwingli declared, "All who say that the gospel is invalid without the confirmation of the church err and slander God."
REFORM WAS NOT ENOUGH - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 01
The Protestant fathers were able to protest against institutional Christian corruption, reform and improve Christianity, and publish the scriptures to allow the common man to read the words of Christ, prophets, and apostles for the first time. However, what they couldn't achieve was the restoration of what had been lost. Between the close of the New Testament and the 16th century, Christianity had not merely declined; it had perished. It had become an institutionalized belief system with fixed forms of conducting that system. Professional clergy supported by the tithes and offerings of the believers was universally accepted before and after the Reformation. The church owned property and exercised control, with no separation between Christianity's right to preach morality and the right to enforce morality. The Protestant Reformation fathers assumed that this was entirely proper.
Hold me not

Lightning Strikes the Vatican
Shock-waves from the Vatican were sent around the world on February 11, 2013. Pope Benedict XVI announced that “with full freedom I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome.” Within hours, lightning struck the dome of St. Peter’s basilica, not once but twice! He made his announcement during a routine…
Washes Feet of Disciples
After he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded, then comes he to Simon Peter. And Peter says unto him, Lord, do you wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What…
Adam, Ancient of Days
Michael descended and he came to the earth, and he was known as Adam in mortality. … Adam is the one in the East—the angel who is considered the one who presides over and has control of the air—which is apt, because unto Adam was given the breath of life in the beginning.
Temptations of our Lord
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But Jesus answered and said, It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.…
Abraham - Father of Nations
According to rabbinic literature Terah was a wicked (Numbers Rabbah 19:1; 19:33), idolatrous priest (Midrash HaGadol on Genesis 11:28) who manufactured idols (Eliyahu Rabbah 6, and Eliyahu Zuta 25). Abram, in opposition to his father's idol shop, smashed his father's idols and chased customers away. Terah then brought his unruly son before Nimrod, who threw him into a fiery furnace,…
John the Beloved

Wine in Scripture
Isaiah mentions three different sources to slake the thirst: water, wine and milk. (Isaiah 55:1) These three are arranged in a significant order, to teach a significant lesson about three degrees of satisfying your thirst for truth."Come, my brethren, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath…
CAMPBELLITES AND MORMONS INTERSECT - Christian Restoration Series 02: Part 05
Because both Campbellites and Mormons shared the ideal of restoring a pure religion, they were destined to intersect. Campbellite ministers Parley Pratt and Sidney Rigdon began the contact. Rigdon was a dynamic preacher and a trusted follower of Alexander Campbell. Rigdon met the first Mormon missionaries as they passed through Ohio and was impressed enough with their message and the Book of Mormon to investigate the claims. He traveled to New York, met Joseph Smith, and was entirely satisfied. He not only joined the movement but quickly became one of the leaders of the new Mormon church.
Covenant of Christ Audio Book
The Covenant of Christ is the most important volume of scripture for the present day. The original text from 1830 was not a commentary, not an interpretation, neither a narration nor an explanation. It presented itself as original, authentic, ancient scripture. This new edition renders the text into a modern or present-day language setting.
Common Concerns
Revelation 22:18-19 contains a warning to anyone who tampers with the biblical text: “For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. ” The question is whether these verses refer to the whole Bible or just the Book of Revelation.
This warning is given specifically to those who distort the message of the Book of Revelation. Jesus Himself is the Author of Revelation and the giver of the vision to the apostle John (Revelation 1:1). As such, He concludes the book with a confirmation of His testimony to the finality of the prophecies contained in Revelation. These are His words, and He warns against distorting them in any way, whether through additions, subtractions, falsifications, alterations, or intentional misinterpretations. The warning is explicit and dire. The plagues of Revelation will be visited upon anyone guilty of tampering in any way with the revelations in the book, and those who dare to do so will have no part in eternal life in heaven.
Although the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 is specific to the Book of Revelation, the principle applies to anyone who seeks to intentionally distort God’s Word. Moses gave a similar warning in Deuteronomy 4:1-2, where he cautioned the Israelites that they must listen to and obey the commandments of the Lord, neither adding to nor taking away from His revealed Word. Proverbs 30:5-6 contains a similar admonition to anyone who would add to God’s words: he will be rebuked and proven to be a liar. Although the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 applies specifically to the Book of Revelation, its principle must be applied to the any of the books containing the revealed Word of God. We must be careful to handle all scripture with care and reverence so as to not distort the message.
However, to address the concern regarding any additional scripture, the book of Revelation was actually written earlier than many of the other New Testament books of the Bible, so if it literally means you can’t add scripture, we have to discard most of the New Testament.
Matthew 7:15-20 “And again, beware of false prophets that come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. For do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by their fruits you shall know them.”
This test is only necessary if He intends to send prophets. The test is given so you may identify both true and false prophets. Implicit in this, is the obligation to personally account for your response to those He sends, and those who claim to be sent by Him. You must choose. Your choice will count for and against you. You must grow to apply the test correctly.
The concept of “sheep’s clothing” is worth pondering. Why is it even possible for such a thing as “sheep’s clothing?” Think about it. The attire or mantle they pretend to possess is necessarily “sheep-like” to the casual observer. That is, the “office” or the position or conduct or credentials of the false prophet must be misleading. They should appear bona fide. They need to seem authentic.
Now, lest you be confused about the “wolves” who occupy these positions, it does not mean an utterly corrupt, completely perverse man. It only requires the “wolves” to be unable to deliver a true message from the Lord. It only requires that they not be sent with an authentic message from Him. They must pretend to be His, but He has nothing to do with their message.
So, how are we to distinguish between the “sheep” and the “wolves” who come as “prophets” from the Lord? In a word, it is the “fruit.” What does the message produce?
A false prophet’s message will produce as its fruit vanity, corruption, evil, foolishness, arrogance, self-assuredness, error, distance from the Lord, poor understanding, popularity, wealth, success, ease, false hopes, ingratitude, pride, displays of popularity, worldliness, hard hearts and ten thousand other meaningless or deceptive fruits.
A true prophet’s message will produce repentance.

George Washington
Founding Father, 1732-1799
Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason- I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other- my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen
Martin Luther
German Monk 1483-1546

GOD HAS SENT A MESSENGER OF SALVATION IN OUR DAY
“As one who, like the Apostle Paul, has stood in the presence of Christ, and likewise been caught up into heaven and been taught unspeakable things, I know from the Lord’s own voice my standing before Him.” ~Denver C. Snuffer, Jr.
In the Fall of 2017, Denver Snuffer gave three talks in the United States to commemorate the Protestant Reformation. An additional five talks addressed to the Christian world were delivered in 2018 and 2019. All eight of these talks addressed Christianity’s troubled history, as well as its present disarray and potential future.
”I have been sent to give these three messages. I do know God. I have been ministered to by Him and He has prepared me to minister to others. Like Paul, who was sent by God, I will also tell you of an unchangeable God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His message requires the same from you today as it did when Jesus Christ first taught in Galilee and Judea.” ~Denver C. Snuffer, Jr.
