mordorbund Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I was reading the Church Handbook of Instruction today and came across this:Translating Ordinances and BlessingsGuidelines for translating ordinances and blessings are provided in Handbook 1, 16.1.2.I'm really curious now and want to ask my Bishop if I can receive the translating ordinances, but I'm concerned about what rules may be in handbook 1 to prevent me. Like, maybe the 3 Nephite disciples received it because they didn't come right out and ask for it, in which case I would clearly not get it. But John made a point-blank request and was granted it. I'm not sure what to do. I just want to be translated correctly. Quote
Casper Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 The translating ordinances and blessings that are in the hand book are guidelines for translating from one language to another. The church does not yet have the power in the priesthood of translating people to a terrestrial condition. “All the powers of the priesthood are in the church except the principle and power of translation. That, however, will in due time be restored.” John Taylor (J.D 23:32) Quote
rameumptom Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 According to HB1, the ordinances for translating have been translated, and so we are not able to access them at this time.... Quote
