Sermon Delivered at Nauvoo, Illinois July 19, 1840 http://www.math.byu.edu/~smithw/Lds/LDS/Parallel/1840/19Jul40.html
Now let all who can coolly and deliberately dispose of their property come up and give of their substance to the [poor?] that the hearts of the poor may be comforted and all may worship god together in holiness of heart Come brethren come all of you.And I prophecy in the name of the Lord that the state of Illinois shall become a great and mighty mountain as a city set upon a hill that cannot be hid and a great that giveth light to the world The city of Nauvoo als[o] shall become the greatest city in the whole world. (We are still waiting................)
I guess Phillip 1- means little to you!
Philip 1
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with bone mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
There is plenty of dirt you can drag up on the LDS and each of those who have spread this stuff have been shown to be liars and decievers that distort the word and twist and folks who like gossip eat it up along with the backbitters, it part of their nature which is not of the Lord
Now what you have done has nothing to do with what was posted in the relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

I guess my question to you is.......... "What is YOUR definition of 'the Word'?" All I am saying the definition/relationship of Father and Son means the same in Heaven as it mean to us here on earth.
As far as I am concern Jesus is God Almighty to us here, but he still is not the Father in Heaven.
I truly don't believe that God has one definition in Heaven for the WORD, and another definition here on Earth for the WORD!
Let's throw out EVERYTHING the 'bible' says because John 6:46 and John 14:9 contradict one another!
No where did I say this to you!
As long as we are stirring the pot, let's do it BIG TIME......
What are you talking about this is a discussion of an understanding of words!
Luke 3
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
1.Jesus being baptised present.
2.So here we have the Holy Ghost in a form of a dove present.
3.And the Heavenly Father speaking from heaven present.
Three seperate personages, all one in mind, but 3 individuals.

The Salt LakeTribune | 5/2/2002 | Peggy Stack Fletcher For Sale signs dot the landscape of this town on the Mississippi River -- offering not only Mormon pioneer homes but 1950s ramblers, pizza parlors and an abandoned building to the highest bidder. That buyer is usually a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Local residents and the media get tour before open house After six years of construction, much of it guarded at gunpoint by pioneer craftsmen, the LDS Church's original Nauvoo Temple was dedicated 156 years ago today as most of its constituency had already been forced to migrate West.

In all of American history, there has never been a building quite like the Nauvoo Temple. As an architectural achievement, as a cultural icon, as a religious centerpiece, it has a significance that stretches far beyond the LDS faith.

What makes a city great? A center of culture and refinement in the midst of the wild frontier? The largest city for hundreds of miles? A well-planned, well-laid out, well-governed city of 20,000? In 1838, Nauvoo was the village of Commerce, Illinois, an unhealthy, mosquito-infested swamp where no one wanted to live. The state of Illinois allowed the Latter-Day Saints to seek refuge there. They had just been illegally and unjustly persecuted, murdered, plundered, and driven out of Missouri under an extermination order in defiance of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. They drained the swamp and transformed the area in ten short years into a model city, when illegal and unjust mob violence drove them out again, and they journeyed a thousand miles across the plains to build new cities, and new Temples, at incredible suffering and sacrifice, rather than raise their hand against their enemies.
What makes a city the greatest in the world? The divinely-appointed gathering place for scattered Israel, the covenant people of God? The headquarters of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, led by true prophets and apostles of Jesus Christ, called of God? The one place in the whole world, in the 1840s, where the divinely-appointed House of the LORD, the Holy Temple, stood, in full operation? If this is indeed a prophecy of Joseph Smith's, need we look to the future for fulfilment?
