To: Revelation 911

(1) The unity and continuity of His mission in all ages — this of necessity involving the verity of His preexistence and foreordination.

Jesus “preexisted as The Word of God..He was God..and not a “spirit child”

Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jhn 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jhn 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4

Jesus came to save us..that was His mission..the be Lord and Savior..

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved John 3:16, 17

(2) The fact of His antemortal Godship

Is this as He was man is..As He is now man can become ???

What blasphemy...

Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jhn 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jhn 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4

(3) The actuality of His birth in the flesh as the natural issue of divine and mortal parentage.

Blasphemy.....Mary was a VIRGIN..she did NOT have sex with any man mortal or immortal..

Mormons just love to attack Catholics about the VIRGIN Mary...

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14

hardly a Godly sign if illicit sex was involved..

4) The reality of His death and physical resurrection, as a result of which the power of death shall be eventually overcome.

The power of death was overcome right then...not will be eventually

Mat 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

Mat 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

Mat 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

Mat 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land Matthew 9:23-26

It wasnt a secret that Jesus had power over death..

Hbr 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Hbr 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hebrew2 2:14, 15

1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1Cr 15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?

1Cr 15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.

1Cr 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57

(5) The literalness of the atonement wrought by Him, including the absolute requirement of individual compliance with the laws and ordinances of His gospel as the means by which salvation may be attained.

Whatever this gibbly gook means it does not refer to the Gospel of the Jesus Christ of the Bible..

Jhn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:15-18

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:15, 16

(6) The restoration of His Priesthood and the reestablishment of His Church in the current age, which is verily the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times.

Well, we know that this never happened...

Knowing the Times Table will verily get you closer to God than this..

“His priesthood” was His alone...

And there never has been a reestablishment of the church ...there never haqs been any need to and never will..

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

(7) The certainty of His return to earth in the near future, with power and great glory, to reign in Person and bodily presence as Lord and King

But He’s not going to be coming to the United States to set up His kingdom..

“Bodily presense” ?????????

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
