Dove, please remain active in the gospel. The BOM and and most of Josephs greatest revelations came befor April 6, 1830. We are not called to be of the same opinion, we are of the same Faith. I hope the saints can follow the Apostles advice to "Speak evil of no man", and that all our communication can be filled with virtue and grace toward one another.

Hijolly, no not wicked but under a different covenant. They also sacrificed animals, the New Covenant ended that too. I prefer Enoch, Lehi, Nephi's example. The foundation of our faith is not one of ancient customs, Nephi's vision centered on Heavenly Fathers plan to reconcile man to him by Jesus Christ. We are to live by the same faith of Abraham.Romans4:13-16 (JS inspired version)

Rameumpton, 1st. do you think the phrase "ye are Gods" could be posessive, not be plural? 2nd. does your name refer to the holy stand of the Zoaramites?

I guess I do not understand how the Lord raising up seed leads to plural wives. Especially after all the teachings of Christ, and Adam and Eve raised up seed without additional Eves. Glad W.W. ended it.

Hi-Jolly Where does the Book of Mormom say certain circumstances may require plural wives? Golfnut

Misshalfway, just got home from work and see you also have a sense of humor. Golfnut

AngelonaWing, I have been to St. George , played golf there, enjoyed it. My wife of 34 years (18 yr.olds when married) has on occation found me to be a nice gent. (or she is just rying to made me feel good) Good to meet you, Golfnut

Rainogold, We are a group of Book of Mormon Restoration believers. We obey the voice of Jacob, brother of Nephi the older, in your Book of Mormon it would be chapter2:23-28. One man and one woman,The only way of marriage agreeable of The Heavenly Father. I do not want to confuse you, I believe in the Gospel restored by the Lord in 1829 through the prophet Joseph Smith Jr. Thank you for asking. Golfnut

You are correct Mykdiver, many of us have left the RLDS. They do not even use the name any longer, they go by the name community of Christ instead of the church of Jesus Christ. They also perform same sex marriages. I prefer to not represent them, but want a closer relation with my Utah LDS fellow restoration believers.

We are the same in very many ways. We however did not cannonize any revelations from JSjr. after 1838 with few exceptions. We were reorganized by Emma and JSIII in 1860-61. Never practiced poligomy, or baptism of dead, have a different emphasis on section76. I believe The church should reflect the Book of Mormon pattern. 12 deciples, both priesthoods, and no first presidency. However, I do believe the Lord permitted the first presidency the same as he permitted Israel a King. By the way, The RLDS is no longer a restoration church. We left because of the leadership wanted to be a part of the world counsel of churches, ordained women and called the book of Mormon historic and not inspired or translated.

The Restoration branches are made up of former RLDS members, and new baptisms, friends, and other restoration believers only organized on local levels. There are many who have organized like the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of LDS, With Brother Larson (great great grandson of Joseph) as their president. I enjoy their fellowship and in many cases priesthood authority between the Remnant and non affiliated branches is shared.

Hello friends, I am a former RLDS high priest, now worshiping with a restoration group of former RLDS. I Love the Restored Gospel, (Book of Mormon) and look forward to serving with most of you to do the Lords will in establishing the cause of Zion. Play a little golf too.
