Edspringer Posted August 14, 2019 Report Posted August 14, 2019 What do you guys know about the keys of translation, I mean, to translate beings? I recall of having seen it somewhere, but I don't know where. I'd like to get Amy thoughts on the matter. Quote

The connection between the gift of translating and the keys God delegates to the office of “seer”, or of “prophet, seer and revelator” is shown in these verses. 2 Nephi 3:6-7, 11, 14 Mosiah 8:13, 15-17 Mosiah 28:16 D&C 21:1 D&C 124:94, 125 D&C 107:92 The keys direct the use of the translation gift. God had these keys to direct Joseph and the ancients to translate by the gift and power of God. Joseph and possibly Mosiah had these keys in directing the work of translation under their respective administrations. Quote

I think what @mikbonewas getting at is that translating a person is an ordinance that we don't have the keys for. It isn't something a mortal person can do, like resurrection in the article. Quote

OP is asking about the translation of beings, like Enoch & Moses. Not the translation of foreign languages. President Kimball’s talk discusses the keys of the resurrection which is somewhat similar to translation. God holds these keys, not man. See 3 Nephi 28:6-12 Edspringer and CV75 2 Quote

It would have helped if you added such a statement in your post, or an intro to that effect with the link. Quote
