Heed and Diligence

What I say in this material is my own personal enlightenment through the scriptures and what I have been provided through the Spirit to the mind of God as I have pondered prayed and sought to understand his will in relation to these subjects.

This Blog is a look at the current events through the Gospel of Jesus Christ from that which is true and restored and that which is to come. It is directed to anyone in any of the Mormon or Restoration Religions.

Plain and simple things

Our dispensation has a prescription for how the sacrament is supposed to be administered. It is a plain and simple ordinance that currently doesnt resemble what the Lord instructed us to do.

He has asked us to KEEP the commandments and KEEP the ordinances. When we stray we become apostate.

“It is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus;And the elder or priest shall administer it; and after this manner shall he administer it—he shall kneel with the church and call upon the Father in solemn prayer,..” (D&C 20:75-76)

We no longer practice the ordinance as given in previous dispensations.

“And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed; and the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to the words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from among the people; For they have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant. They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall. (D&CV 1:14-15)

Currently there has been an effort to subvert the will of the Lord and insert the vain things of the flesh and modify and adapt His command to suit the image of the day or the likeness of the world. The practice of wine with the sacrament and kneeling in humility as well as the symbol that every knee shall bend at His coming and the representation of the blood of Christ has been removed by those who would claim direction and authority under Him.

The Book of Mormon also describes the precise practice of the ordinance

“The manner of their elders and priests administering the flesh and blood of Christ unto the church; and they administered it according to the commandments of Christ; wherefore we know the manner to be true; and the elder or priest did minister it— And they did kneel down with the church, and pray to the Father in the name of Christ…” (Moroni 4:1-2)

“Now, the purpose in himself, in the winding up scene of the last dispensation, is that all things pertaining to that dispensation should be conducted precisely in accordance with the preceding dispensations. And again, God purposed in himself that there should not be an Eternal fullness until every dispensation should be fulfilled and gathered together in one, and that all things whatever that should be gathered together in one, in those dispensations, unto the same fullness and Eternal glory, should be in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, he set the ordinances to be the same for ever and ever, and set Adam to watch over them, to reveal them from Heaven to man or to send angels to reveal them. Hebrews 1st chapter, 14th verse [Hebrews 1:2]: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? These angels are under the direction of Michael, or Adam, who acts under the direction of Christ.” (Investigation of the priesthood October 5, 1840)

If ordinances have been changed from the original or previous dispensation you can know of a surety that these changes have not come as instructions from Adam or Angels sent by him. They have given in to a false spirit and are dammed to the things of eternity. They have kept neither the commandments nor the ordinances. This is further evidence of the apostasy of the modern church.
