w1(The) Way, the Truth, and the Light

Marion Romney, Conference Report, April 1961, pg. 119; This Church is the standard which Isaiah said the Lord would set up for the people in the latter days. This Church was given to be a light to the world and to be a standard for God’s people and for the Gentiles to seek to. This Church is the ensign on the mountain spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. It is the way, the truth, and the life.”

John 14:6; Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It is one of the most ironic things in life.

Mormons degrade the Bible and yet take it with them when they go out on their missions.

Mormons berate the Bible yet Joseph Smith plagiarized from it and put it in the Book of Mormon.

Mormons claim it is full of errors and can’t be trusted, yet the quote phrases from it in their talks and literature.

Wedding in Cana of Galilee

Journal of Discourses 2:82; Gentlemen, that is as plain as the translators, or different councils over this Scripture, dare allow it to go to the world, but the thing is there; it is told; Jesus was the bridegroom at the marriage of Cana of Galilee, and he told them what to do.  Now there was actually a marriage; and if Jesus was not the bridegroom on that occasion, please tell who was. If any man can show this, and prove that it was not the Savior of the world, then I will acknowledge I am in error.” – Orson Hyde, Salt Lake City, October 6, 1854

John 2:1-2; And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.”  (See entire passage in John 2:1-11.)

Where in the text does it say that Jesus was the groom?

Where in the Bible does it ever mention Jesus’ wife?

Where in the Bible does it state that Jesus had a widow?

White & Delightsome, Indians Will be

Messenger and Advocate, Vol. 2 (October 1835-September 1836): pg. 193; “The Indians are the people of the Lord; they are of the tribes of Israel; the blood of Joseph, with a small mixture of the royal blood of Judah, and the hour is nigh when they will come flocking into the kingdom of God, like doves to their windows; yea, as the book of Mormon foretells—they will soon become a white and delightsome people.

James 2:9; But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

This hour is nigh has passed you by Mr. Smith.  This prophecy was made 174 years ago and the Indians are still dark brown.  God doesn’t perform magic tricks.

Whore of Babylon

1 Nephi 14:10; “And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.

Jeremiah 3:6; The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

The passages in Jeremiah are one place Smith might have picked up the phrase “the whore of Babylon”.  Many times the Lord tried to call her back but Judah was too busy worshipping other gods to pay attention to the one true God.

Whores of Babylon

The Seer, pg. 255; “But who in this generation have authority to baptize? None but those who have received authority in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints: all other churches are entirely destitute of all authority from God; and any person who receives Baptism or the Lord’s supper from their hands will highly offend God, for he looks upon them as the most corrupt of all people. Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the “whore of Babylon” whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. And any person who shall be so wicked as to receive a holy ordinance of the gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent of the unholy and impious act.

Rev. 17:4-6; And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Here we have Mr. Pratt mimicking the sayings of Joseph Smith.  So the entire body of Christ is the whore?  Imagine Jesus calling His bride such a name.

Wives

Apostle Heber C. Kimball, The Twenty Seventh Wife, Irving Wallace, p. 101; I think no more of taking another wife than I do of buying a cow.

Genesis 2:18; And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Oh beloved I pray you see that as a woman you are so much more than some beast of the field.  God created you to be alongside your husband and for both of you to worship God.  It is so difficult for the Mormon woman to see herself as a precious, valuable creation of God.  This bad thought behavior is passed on down from one generation to the next.

Women

Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, pg. 26; Men and women in the image of heavenly parents. God made man in his own image and certainly he made woman in the image of his wife-partner. (72-02).

You [women] are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our heavenly Mother. (72-08).

Galatians 3:26-29; For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

This is obviously a lie from the pits of hell.  There is no such thing as a mother in heaven.  Believing something like this is what got the Israelites into trouble in 785 and 600 BC.

Women and Priesthood Bearers

Young Women Manual1, pg. 66; Help the young women understand that to achieve their divine potential, they must enter into celestial marriage with a righteous priesthood bearer. They should realize the integral part they play in God’s eternal plan, along with a righteous man who bears the priesthood. Man is essential to woman, and woman is essential to man.

Romans 3:10-11; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Marriage is not essential to anyone’s salvation – male or female.

Women in the Church

Elder Erastus Snow, JD 5:291; Do the women, when they pray, remember their husbands? Do you pray for brother Brigham? Yes, you should always pray for him. But when you pray for him, do you pray also for your own husband, that he may have the inspiration of the Almighty to lead and govern his family as the lord? Do you uphold your husband before God as your lord? “What!—my husband to be my lord?” I ask, Can you get into the celestial kingdom without him? Have any of you been there? You will remember that you never got into the celestial kingdom without the aid of your husband. If you did, it was because your husband was away, and some one had to act proxy for him. No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant.

2 Corinthian 5:19; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Where in the above biblical scripture does it mention marriage?  Don’t you think Paul of all people would have told us these things if it was so?

Women, Role is Found in Mormonism

November Ensign 2007, pg 110;The only place Latter-day Saint women will learn the whole and complete truth about their indispensable role in the plan of happiness is in this Church and its doctrine.” – Julie B. Beck

Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

No Mrs. Beck, the answer is in the Bible.

Women, Salvation for

Journal of Discourses 5:291; Do the women, when they pray, remember their husbands? Do you pray for brother Brigham? Yes, you should always pray for him. But when you pray for him, do you pray also for your own husband, that he may have the inspiration of the Almighty to lead and govern his family as the lord? Do you uphold your husband before God as your lord? “What!—my husband to be my lord?” I ask, Can you get into the celestial kingdom without him? Have any of you been there? You will remember that you never got into the celestial kingdom without the aid of your husband. If you did, it was because your husband was away, and some one had to act proxy for him. No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant.” – Erastus Snow, Salt Lake City, October 4, 1857

Acts 28:28; Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

In the world of Mormonism it is a sad day indeed if you’re not married or even if you are married.  If you’re not married you’re a servant.  If you are married you serve your husband.

Women, Unmarried are Damned

Latter-day Prophets and the D&C, 4:392-393; We cannot feel justified in closing this article on the subject of marriage without saying a few words to unmarried females in this Church. You will clearly perceive, from the revelation which God has given, that you can never obtain a fulness of glory, without being married to a righteous man for time and for all eternity.” – Orson Pratt

1 Corinthians 7:8-11; I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.  9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.  10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

WORD OF WISDOM

Word of Wisdom/Dietary Laws

D&C 89:1-21; “A Word of Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—…

Col. 2:13-17; And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Yet another way to control the masses.  Imagine a life with no caffeine…

Liquor, Joseph’s Ordinance of Selling

History of the Church 6:111; Ordinance on the Personal Sale of Liquors.

Section 1. Be it ordained by the City Council of Nauvoo, that the Mayor of the city be and is hereby authorized to sell or give spirits of any quantity as he in his wisdom shall judge to be for the health and comfort, or convenience of such travelers or other persons as shall visit his house from time to time.  Passed December 12, 1843.  Joseph Smith, Mayor. Willard Richards, Recorder.

Proverbs 20:1; Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

So no one in the Church can sell, buy or consume liquor except Joseph Smith who owns the town liquor store.  That’s convenient.

Tea Drinking by Bishops

Journal of Discourses 12:28; “…a brandy sling, a little wine, or a cup of tea is good to revive them. Do not throw these things away, and say they must never be used; they are good to be used with judgment, prudence, and discretion. Ask our Bishops if they drink tea every day, and in most cases they will tell you they do if they can get it. They take it when they do not need it and when it injures them. I want to say to the Elders in Israel, this is not our privilege. We have a great many privileges, but to indulge in liquor or other things to our own injury is not one of them.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, April 7, 1867

Galatians 4:31; So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

It’s never a good thing to be drunk – all things in moderation.

Tobacco, How to Chew While in Church

Journal of Discourses 8:362; Many of the brethren chew tobacco, and I have advised them to be modest about it. Do not take out a whole plug of tobacco in meeting before the eyes of the congregation, and cut off a long slice and put it in your mouth, to the annoyance of everybody around. Do not glory in this disgraceful practice. If you must use tobacco, put a small portion in your mouth when no person sees you, and be careful that no one sees you chew it. I do not charge you with sin. You have the “Word of Wisdom.” Read it.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, March 10, 1860.

Matthew 15:7-9; Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.  9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Even though it was against the word of wisdom to chew tobacco here is a prophet of the Lord giving directions on how to use the sinful substance and in church no less.

Wine Drinking and Fasting All Day

Journal of Discourses 2:216; It was this, after the people had fasted all day, they sent out and got wine and bread, and blessed them, and distributed them to the multitude, that is, to the whole assembly of the brethren, and they ate and drank, and prophesied, and bore testimony, and continued so to do until some of the High Council of Missouri stepped into the stand, and, as righteous Noah did when he awoke from his wine, commenced to curse their enemies. You never felt such a shock go through any house or company in the world as went through that. There was almost a rebellion because men would get up and curse their enemies; although they could remember well that it is written that Noah cursed his own grandson, and that God recognized that curse to such an extent that, at this day, millions of his posterity are consigned to perpetual servitude.” – George A. Smith, Salt Lake City, March 18, 1855

2 Timothy 3:4-5; Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

What is the purpose of quoting scripture out of context while you’re drunk at church?

Wine for Enjoyment

History of the Church 7:101; Sometime after dinner we sent for some wine. It has been reported by some that this was taken as a sacrament. It was no such thing; our spirits were generally dull and heavy, and it was sent for to revive us. I think it was Captain Jones who went after it, but they would not suffer him to return. I believe we all drank of the wine, and gave some to one or two of the prison guards. We all of us felt unusually dull and languid, with a remarkable depression of spirits. In consonance with those feelings I sang a song, that had lately been introduced into Nauvoo, entitled, ‘A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief’, etc” – edited by John Taylor

Proverbs 26:23-26; Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.  24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.  26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

So what made it okay to break the word of wisdom while jailed on treason charges?

Wine, Drinking of at a Wedding

History of the Church 2:378; Elders Orson Hyde, Luke S. Johnson, and Warren Parrish, then presented the Presidency with three servers of glasses filled with wine, to bless. And it fell to my lot to attend to this duty which I cheerfully discharged. It was then passed round in order, then the cake in the same order; and suffice it to say, our hearts were made glad while partaking of the bounty of earth which was presented, until we had taken our fill; and joy filled every bosom…

Proverbs 11:9; An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying a glass of wine but when you preach and have claimed to have a prophecy from God that it is sinful then why are you engaging in such behavior?

Wine, Drinking While Reading Conference Notes

History of the Church 5:380; Wednesday, 3.—Called at the office and drank a glass of wine with Sister Jenetta Richards, made by her mother in England, and reviewed a portion of the conference minutes.

Titus 1:16; They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Another example of not obeying the rules imposed by yourself.

Wine, Enjoyment of a Bottle of by the Elders

History of the Church 4:120: April 17.—This day the Twelve blessed and drank a bottle of wine at Penworthan, made by Mother Moon forty years before.  Held a Council at her house in the evening, and ordained Peter Melling, Patriarch.

James 4:8; Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Here we go again not obeying the word of wisdom.

Word of Wisdom Will be Obeyed

Journal of Discourses 17:104; Every man, whether he is or is not a Latter-day Saint, when he comes to study our written works, the written revelations which God has given, will acknowledge that the Latter-day Saints cannot be the people they profess to be, they cannot be consistent with the revelations they profess to believe in and live as they now live; they have got to come into the system which the Saints call the New Order, otherwise they cannot comply with the revelations of God.” – Orson Pratt, June 14, 1874

Romans 2:3; And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Like Paul said, what makes the Mormons think they’re better than the outsiders when they don’t obey their own rules?

Work and You Shall be Saved

Ensign, November 2009, pg. 56; How I admire men, women, and children who know how to work! How the Lord loves the laborer! He said, ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread’ (Genesis 3:19), and ‘The laborer is worthy of his hire’ (D&C 84:79). He also gave a promise: ‘Thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you’ (D&C 31:5). Those who are unafraid to roll up their sleeves and lose themselves in the pursuit of worthwhile goals are a blessing to their families, communities, nations, and to the Church.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Genesis 3:17-19; And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

When I read this teaching of the Church I could literally feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.  I picture Satan being the very teacher at the pulpit to deliver this poison.  Mr. Uchtdorf failed to share with the readers of the Ensign and listeners of the Conference that when God told Adam he would sweat it was because he had been cursed!

I truly believe the leaders of the LDS Church deliberately lie to their members and this is just one example of how they do it.  They are leading my mother to hell…they have tricked her into believing them instead of the pure, unadulterated love of God I keep trying to share with her.  Watching her age and not listening is gut wrenching for me as it is for you trying to share with your loved ones as well.

The little tidbit of thrusting in your sickle and your sins will be forgiven is equally as damning.  Where in the New Testament and the precious gospel does it tell us this?

Why would you ever want “to lose yourself in the pursuit of worthwhile goals”?  How would this serve as a blessing to your family?

How could this action by you be glorifying to God?

Works

Lifeblood of the Church, Ensign, Nov. 2008, pg. 12; Missionary work is the lifeblood of the Church. There is no greater work, no more important work. It blesses the lives of all those who participate in it. It will continue blessing future generations.” – Silvia H. Allred

Hebrews 10:1, 4; For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

What about the very lifeblood of Christ Jesus?  Calvary.  Think of Calvary.  His spilled blood upon the holy ground at the scene of the cross isn’t more important?  “If I covet any place but the dust at the foot of the cross, I know nothing of Calvary Love”. – Amy Carmichael

Works for the Dead, No

Moroni 10:26; And wo unto them who shall do these things away and die, for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God; and I speak it according to the words of Christ; and I lie not.

Luke 10:38-42; Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.  39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.  41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

I wonder how many people have read this before they go in to perform works for their dead relatives.

Works, God Won’t Recognize Good

Gospel Principles, pg. 81; If a man does not have the priesthood, even though he may be sincere, the Lord will not recognize ordinances he performs (see Matthew 7:21-23).

Galatians 3:10-13; For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.  11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.  12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.  13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

The Lord is not going to recognize your false priesthood, sorry to say.

Works for God

D&C 137:7-9; Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God; Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom; For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.

Galatians 5:3-4; For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.  4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

This obviously contradicts Moroni 10:26.

Works on Earth and Pre-existence

Mormon Doctrine, pg. 590; From the time of their spirit birth, the Father’s pre-existent offspring were endowed with agency and subjected to the provisions of the laws ordained for their government. They had power to obey or disobey and to progress in one field or another. “The first principles of man are self-existent with God,” the Prophet said. “God himself, finding he was in the midst of spirits and glory, because he was more intelligent, saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest could have a privilege to advance like himself.” (Teachings, p. 354.)

Luke 18:9, 14; And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Who decided this Mormon god was more intelligent than the other spirits?

Worship

Ensign, November 2008, pgs. 108-109; Just as the Savior invited Mary and Martha of New Testament times to participate in His work, women of this dispensation have an official commission to participate in the Lord’s work. . . . The organization of Relief Society in 1842 mobilized the collective power of the women and their specific assignments to build the Lord’s kingdom, just as the organization of priesthood quorums gave men specific responsibilities. . . .”Through Relief Society, women have an official role in the Church with great responsibilities, ‘including working in the temple and teaching the gospel’ (Dallin H. Oaks, ‘The Priesthood and the Auxiliaries,’ Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 17). Further, Relief Society is to help women ‘plant and make grow . . . a testimony of [Jesus] Christ and of the Gospel’ (The First Presidency, ‘Memorandum of Suggestions,’ Mar. 29, 1940, 2), ‘strengthen the family and the home’ (Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 17), and ‘attend to all family duties’ (D&C 20:47).”

Luke 10:38-42; Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

This passage in Luke is telling is it not?  Immediately I think of all the duties a Mormon woman is responsible for and wonder if she (the Mormon woman) would ever take time to sit at the feet of Jesus?

Worship, Where Not to

Mormon Doctrine, pg. 662; Sacred Grove It was there that the Father and the Son personally appeared to him, in accordance with their eternal plan, for the hour had come for the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times. (Jos. Smith 2:15-20.)…Ever since, this chosen site, hallowed by Deity’s personal presence, has been known by the saints as the Sacred Grove. It is not a shrine in the sense that many denominations have shrines, nor is there any sanctity now attached to the trees and land there located. But it is a spot held sacred in the hearts of those who believe the truths of salvation, because they glory in the transcendent event which there took place.

Deuteronomy 16:21-22; Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.  22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

All I can say is that this is scary.

Worship, Whom Do You

Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration, pg. 112; Consequently, as I have said, Joseph Smith is held in reverence, his name is honored; tens of thousands of people thank God in their heart and from the depths of their souls for the knowledge the Lord has restored to the earth through him, and therefore they speak well of him and bear testimony of his worth. . . .They speak to his praise, to his honor, and they hold his name in honorable remembrance. They revere him and they love him as they love no other man, because they know he was the chosen instrument in the hands of the Almighty of restoring the Gospel of life and salvation unto them.

John 16:13-14; Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Is your life stained with the Blood of the Lamb?  The life of a Christian is that of total passion to Christ Jesus and Him crucified.  None other name under heaven or on earth will suffice.  Jesus told the disciples in John 16:13-14 that the Holy Spirit would testify of Him to those that believe.  Oswald Chambers said “The Spirit of God does in me internally all that Jesus Christ did for me externally.”
