Amonhi
I found this forum by accident the other day... Well I guess I should truly say, "I was guided to this forum unknowingly". I have read many of your posts Amonhi, and I agree with many things which you have written. This one, (I think) is very misleading, and could be construed by some and needs further clarification.... Are there other lines of Priesthood one this earth?? The Answer is Yes. But do they have Authority?? The Answer is No. There is but one line of Priesthood Authority on the earth at any given time.
To further explain what I'm saying lets go to D&C 132 , 7 and 8.
7."And verily I say unto you, that the conditions of this law are these: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, of him who is anointed, both as well for time and for all eternity, and that too most holy, by revelation and commandment through the medium of mine anointed, whom I have appointed on the earth to hold this power (and I have appointed unto my servant Joseph to hold this power in the last days, and there is never but one on the earth at a time on whom this power and the keys of this priesthood are conferred), are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead; for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead".
The next verse explains why there is only one line of Authority on the earth at a given time. This is sooo important to understand why our LORD only allows one line of Authority at a given time.
[b]8 Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.[/b]
If GOD allowed multiple lines of Authority at a given time "HIS house would become a house of confusion, and he would ceases to be GOD. But I Michael, testify to every soul that should read this, that HE is GOD and HIS house is a house of order.
A few months ago I was given a book called "Visions of Glory". After I finished reading it I wanted to find out more about the Author and that somehow lead me to here. If you haven't read this book yet Amonhi, I think you should give it a try. Its not a book for everyone, but by things you have written and your understand of the Gospel I think you would find it enjoyable. If you have already read this book, I would like to use Chapter 9 of "Spencers" Vision. There are profound events that happen and I'm sure many who have read this book have asked why they were not able to fully partake of all the blessing the Gospel offers??? In Vision this individual "Spencer" goes to retrieve a very righteous people and bring them to Zion. This people, although extremely righteous with un-canning spiritual gifts still lacked the most important parts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They held Priesthood but without Authority they could not receive all the blessings the Church of Jesus Christ has to offer. Only when they come to Zion and have proper Authority give for this Dispensation, and in the house of the LORD are they finally able to partake in all that is offered.
Thank you for all that you have written Amonhi, I still have much to read through on this forum but what you have written I have enjoyed. Please don't think that I'm attacking anything you have said. I just believe that this needed to be added for clarification sake.
Michael
