Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong . TEACHINGS OF THE ONE MIGHTY AND STRONG Containing some of his experiences while in the Spirit of the Most High and enwrapped therein, under which Spirit, verily of might and power, he was in- spired upon items of doctrine and re- proof, writing and speaking as moved upon mightily by the spirit of Revelation and Prophecy, verily which constitute a Prophet unto the Most High God, even He whom he beheld with his own eyes as he was caught up and enwrapped in a heavenly vision, and conversed with who is adored beyond my words to ex- press, even the Father of Heaven and earth. "Put on the whole armor of God." p.2, Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong "His letters, they say are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence weak." The Apostle Paul, Letter to the Corinthians. Said Joseph, "Our lives have already become jeopardized by revealing the wicked and bloodthirsty purposes of our enemies; and for the future we must cease to do so. All we have said about them is truth, but it is not always wise to relate all the truth. Even Jesus, the Son of God, had to refrain from doing so, and had to restrain His feelings many times for the safety of Himself and His followers, and had to conceal the righteous purposes of His heart in relation to many things pertaining to His Father’s kingdom. When still a boy He had all the intelligence necessary to enable Him to rule and govern the kingdom of the Jews, and could reason with the wisest and most profound doctors of law and divinity, and make their theories and practice to appear like folly compared with the wisdom He possessed; but He was a boy only, and lacked physical strength even to defend His own person; And was subject to cold, to hunger and to death.

My purpose is not to offend, but many of these letters were written in the heat of battle, as it were, and moved upon with sharpness I wrote with directness, and to what many may consider improper language. I quote Brigham Young: "It is none of their damn business what we do here..." There is no "music" taken out of mine, or very little. I say god damn all hypocrites and impostors, those who live and love a lie to hell where they belong, and I call upon the hosts of heaven by the power of the Apostleship which I hold to avenge me of my enemies and of freedom and Zion. May Zion be united on items of true doctrine, and I care not for the effete niceties of language which does not offend the effeminate. 3 p.4, Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong "...for a man called and inspired of God can both preach and write by the power of the Holy Ghost; and when the honest humble soul either hears or reads that which is given by the Spirit, the light that is in him witnesseth that it is of God; for light cleaves to light, and truth to truth; the Spirit gives light to every man that comes into the world, and if he love the light that is within himself, he will love all other light that is presented to his mind, and embrace it. Light cannot be presented to the mind of a candid, honest person, without being perceived to be light; but if he receive it not, he extinguishes in a degree the light that is in him, and darkness still greater ensues, and he is left to commit evils of a greater magnitude, until the light that was in him has entirely fled, and darkness reigns triumphantly: this darkness brings misery and wretchedness in this world and eternal torment in the world to come. This is the state of man who rejects light and truth, and will not exercise faith in that which the light that in him teaches him is true. "The word and the evidences accompanying it are both the gifts of God; but besides these, the light that is in every man who comes into the world is also the gift of God through Christ. For if Christ had not purchased this gift for man by his atoning blood, man would have been destitute of all light. Darkness alone would have reigned and our world would have been a hell--- the miserable abode of fallen spirits and fallen man..." Orson Pratt; The Seer; published 1853: Washington, D.C. "It is a difficult thing to persuade a man that he is deceived, for the very power that deceives him inflates his mind with a self confidence and pride that is difficult to shake." John Taylor, Third President of the Church after Brigham Young. The Government of God. 4 Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong, p.5 INTRODUCTION This is a volume of the writings and additonal revelations (51-?, I put a question mark, for I am still receiving revelations at a fairly rapid rate). Some of the items termed as writings, are actually letters, in the writing of which, the Spirit of might fell upon me, and I was quite literally dictated to in their construction, and though not actual revelation, except where thus saith the Lord occurs, they constitute scripture also, and I value them very highly, and they ought to be read aloud upon the housetops, for they contain the truth as it resides in the bosom of the Almighty, for the salvation of men. Some of the proud may scoff at revelation, but they and it is real, and they (the wise and prudent) shall be damned, for the God of Israel hates their biggness and effrontery against the heavens who possess more intelligence than it is possible the mind of man to comprehend. 5 p.6, Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong TABLE OF CONTENTS Message 1. Additional Revelation? essage 2. This is a letter which I wrote to the head of the Mbiology department at a prominent University which I have attended while still a young man. The events described within the letter actually happened before my first vision, but the Spirit of the Lord upon the occasion described within the letter moved upon me very powerfully. This Dr. Kupferer is still at the University, the event described happened in the Spring of 1969, one of the happiest and most remarkable periods of my life, during which time I was visited by the Revelator and subsequently had my first vision within six months: Dec., 1969. Message 3. The Kingdom of God. essage 4. Authority of the Seventy as Presidency of the MChurch or Which is Greater, the Office of a Patriarch or the Office of an Apostle? essage 6. Pertinent Quotes of Brigham Young. This was Mwritten to try to communicate with members of my ward at the University First Ward, University First Stake, concerning the deceptions in false doctrine which I had learned and detected through the medium of the Priesthood, that the Evil One has pawned off as true among the Latter-Day-Saints, namely that the First Presidency would never lead the Church astray, and that a prophet has to be the President of the Church. 6 Teachings of the One Mighty and Strong, p.7 essage 7. My Ways are Not Thy Ways, Saith the Lord God Mof Art Bulla. Message 8. Complaint Against Art Bulla by Ogden Kraut. essage 9. Geology as a Speculative Science. This is a letter Mwhich I tried to give to a girl, being cast out and persecuted from a business establishment for the travesty of speaking and conveying truth, and the equally great travesty of openly showing favor toward the opposite sex, so it is among the frowns and calumny of man that I have had to continually move as them who have gone before me, even Jesus of Nazareth, for I am He who should come (see D&C 85:7). essage 10. Revelation on Matthew 24, Giving Correct Inter- Mpretation Thereof. This is another letter to Ogden Kraut in the which he had accused me of being one of the false messengers, using Matt. 24 as his source. I had been given by revelation the true interpretation of this scripture, corroborated by Joseph Smith in his inspired translation of the same scripture. Message 11. Nature of opposition to the truth catalogued. essage 12. Authority of the Seventy (All Quorums). This, Malong with several others of major importance, (Celestial Marriage, Negro-Priesthood, Temple Endowment) is one of the main doctrines which the devil through false administrators in the Church, has altered vital parts or portions to the salvation of mankind, the plan of salvation as revealed from heaven, and which cannot be changed, saith the Lord, but must remain the same on all the worlds, and through all time and throughout all eternity, for the "same gospel that saved Abraham, must save us"---Joseph Smith: TPJS.

  • The Prophet Like Unto Moses
    1 THE PROPHET LIKE UNTO MOSES There are many scriptures which have been brought to us that speak of this prophet in the last days who will be "like unto" Moses. The following scriptures are given to show that the Lord has given us many witnesses explaining who the prophet "like unto" Moses will be. The word of the Lord is established or is proven by two or three witnesses. Jesus stated: "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true." John 8:17 "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.” Matthew 18:16 Paul stated: "This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 2 Corinthians 13:1 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." I Thessalonians 5:21 Nephi stated: "Wherefore, by the words of three, God hath said, I will establish my word. Nevertheless, God sendeth more witnesses; and he proveth all his words. Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ: For, for this end hath the law of Moses been given: And all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him.” 2 Nephi 8:5-9 As stated above "all things...are the typifying of him." Joseph Smith Jr. was a type and shadow of the future "choice seer." In the following scriptures, enough evidence is given from the prophets to inform us who the one "like unto" Moses will be in the last days.

  • Doctrine and Covenants 85–87 “STAND YE in HOLY PLACES”
    July 26-Aug 1, 2021 Doctrine and Covenants 85–87 “STAND YE IN HOLY PLACES” Summary: Doctrine and Covenants 85. Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, November 27, 1832. This section is an extract from a letter of the Prophet to William W. Phelps, who was living in Independence, Missouri. It answers questions about those Saints who had moved to Zion but who had not followed the commandment to consecrate their properties and had thus not received their inheritances according to the established order in the Church. 1–5, Inheritances in Zion are to be received through consecration; 6–12, One mighty and strong will give the Saints their inheritance in Zion. Doctrine and Covenants 86. Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, December 6, 1832. This revelation was received while the Prophet was reviewing and editing the manuscript of the translation of the Bible. 1–7, The Lord gives the meaning of the parable of the wheat and tares; 8–11, He explains priesthood blessings to those who are lawful heirs according to the flesh. Doctrine and Covenants 87. Revelation and prophecy on war, given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at or near Kirtland, Ohio, December 25, 1832. At this time disputes in the United States over slavery and South Carolina’s nullification of federal tariffs were prevalent. Joseph Smith’s history states that “appearances of troubles among the nations” were becoming “more visible” to the Prophet “than they had previously been since the Church began her journey out of the wilderness.” 1–4, War is foretold between the Northern States and the Southern States; 5–8, Great calamities will fall upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

Title: An Exploratory Study of Female Networking in a Mormon Fundamentalist Polygynous Society APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE 1HESIS COMMITTEE: Sharon Carstens, Chair , Daniel Scheans - \ i ' nette Davis Leonard Cain The present study is comprised of two parts: 1) an exploratory ethnography of a contemporary polygynous community governed by a strong patriarchal ideology in Pinesdale Montana with emphasis on social relationships, and 2) an analysis of the factors which have allowed women's groups to develop in Mormon fundamentalism. The ethnographic account of the community contextualizes the occurrence of female groups in Pinesdale. A model of the formation of female groups designed by Nancy Leis (1974) in 2 her study of the West African Ijaw is used to provide a better understanding of how female groups are formed, and is applied to the Pinesdale community.

    History Through Seer Stones: Mormon Historical Thought 1890-2010 by Stuart A. C. Parker A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Stuart A. C. Parker 2011 History Through Seer Stones : Mormon Historical Thought 1890-2010 Stuart A. C. Parker Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2011 Abstract Since Mark Leone’s landmark 1979 study Roots of Modern Mormonism , a scholarly consensus has emerged that a key element of Mormon distinctiveness stems from one’s subscription to an alternate narrative or experience of history. In the past generation, scholarship on Mormon historical thought has addressed important issues arising from these insights from anthropological and sociological perspectives. These perspectives have joined a rich and venerable controversial literature seeking to “debunk” Mormon narratives, apologetic scholarship asserting their epistemic harmony or superiority, as well as fault-finding scholarship that constructs differences in Mormon historical thinking as a problem that must be solved. The lacuna that this project begins to fill is the lack of scholarship specifically in the field of intellectual history describing the various alternate narratives of the past that have been and are being developed by Mormons, their contents, the methodologies by which they are produced and the theories of historical causation that they entail. This dissertation examines nine chronica (historical narratives

  • “It Maketh My Bones to Quake”: Teaching Doctrine and Covenants 85
    “It Maketh My Bones to Quake”: Teaching Doctrine and Covenants 85 Timothy G. Merrill and Steven C. Harper Timothy G. Merrill is a part-time instructor in Religious Education and a stu- dent at BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School. Steven C. Harper is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at BYU. “Oh, Lord, deliver us in due time from the little, narrow prison, almost as it were, total darkness of paper, pen and ink;—and a crooked, broken, scattered and imperfect language.” 1 Revelation from the Lord to mortals requires a certain gift of tongues. In the preface to the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord explained how He gave the revelations to the early Saints “after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding” (D&C 1:24). The Prophet Joseph Smith’s history says it was an “awful responsibility to write in the name of the Lord,” presumably because the effects of the tower of Babel are never more regrettable than when dealing with the revealed word of God.2 Poets and prophets have often struggled for words in which to appropriately clothe the “solemni- ties of eternity” (D&C 43:34).3 As the epigraph above shows, Joseph Smith felt keenly what the Lord called “weakness” in writing, which seems to be a characteristic shared by some if not all prophets (D&C 1:24; see also Ether 12:23–27). The Prophet’s lament at being imprisoned by “imperfect language” concludes a letter he wrote from Kirtland, Ohio, to William W.

    4/28/2017 Temple Lot ­ Wikipedia Coordinates: 39.090678°N 94.427968°W Temple Lot From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Temple Lot, located in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, is the first site to be dedicated for the construction of a temple in the Latter Day Saint movement. The area was dedicated on Temple Lot Wednesday, August 3, 1831 by the movement's founder, Joseph Smith, Jr.,[1] and purchased on December 19, 1831 by his colleague Edward Partridge to be the center of the New Jerusalem or "City of Zion" after he received a revelation stating that it would be the gathering spot of the Saints during the Last Days.[2] The most prominent 2.5­acre section of the Temple Lot is currently an open, grass­covered field occupied in its northeast corner by a few trees and the headquarters of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), which is not considered a temple by adherents of that sect. No other structures (with the exception of monuments, markers and signposts) exist on the 2.5­acre section, although numerous important structures exist on the 63.5­acre section, such as the United Nations Peace Plaza, the Community of Christ Auditorium, the Truman Railroad Depot, the LDS Visitors Center, the Community of Christ Temple, an LDS Church stake center,[3] and the Six Nations Tree of Peace.

  • John T. Clark: the "One Mighty and Strong"
    John T. Clark: The "One Mighty and Strong" Brian C. Hales This article examines John T. Clark, a relatively little-known but influen- tial figure in the rise of fundamentalism among the Latter-day Saints dur- ing the early twentieth century. By 1921, small groups of excommunicated polygamists had begun to congregate at homes, offices, industrial build- ings, and even in open-air settings. While no identifiable leaders would emerge until the 1930s, these groups would eventually coalesce to form the fundamentalist movement. Several individuals, including Clark, became prominent within the informal gatherings, either because of their testimo- nies, convictions, publications, financial successes, or claims to priesthood authority. Clark is unusual, however, because he was apparently never a polygamist. Rather, it was his doctrinal unorthodoxy and creative theologi- cal speculations that distanced him from the official LDS Church and made him an appealing figure to others whose ideas included the continu- ation of post-Manifesto polygamy. The Beginnings of Unorthodoxy John Tanner Clark left no personal papers, diaries, or autobiogra- phy, to my knowledge, so biographical background is sparse. He was born January 4, 1865, in Provo, Utah, to John Clark and Alvira Jane Pratt Clark and raised in the LDS Church. He served a three-year mission on the Uintah Indian reservation and was apparently, for a time, a member of the BYU faculty, although no details seem to be available about his edu- cation, field, or the period of this employment. He married Alice Scow in 1896 in the Salt Lake Temple. However, they had no children, she died in 1898, and Clark apparently never remarried.

  • The Mormons and the Hopi: a Study of Prophecy
    The Mormons and The Hopi: A Study of Prophecy Daniel Eggertsson Submitted: April 20, 2005 Religious Studies RST490 Independent Study Graduation Expected: Spring 2005 Word Count: 14947 Introduction This project addresses the concept of prophecy and the role it plays in how the “other” is fit into the religious and cultural framework of a specific group. Not only do the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and Hopi have independently rich prophetic traditions, their prophecies and histories intersect in a variety of revealing ways. The goal of this analysis is to get as specific as possible to the prophetic issues pertaining to both the Mormons and Hopi and relate them to the larger context of how the conception of the “other” fits into a group’s culture and religion. This paper starts with an overview of the general histories of both the Hopi and the Mormons in the United States. Where did these groups come from, where do they live, how long have they been there, and what makes them unique? Answering these questions provides a good background to how these groups came in contact with one another. Next, the paper will address the specific historical interactions of Mormon and Hopi. Finally, it will analyze the specific prophecies of both groups, exploring how they relate to each other and how they relate to the relevant historical, political, economic and religious forces that have acted upon them. The final goal is to present an interpretation of prophecy and show that one of its functions has been to enable the “other,” who is at first a dangerous, or, minimally, unknown category, to be fit safely into the cosmic order of a group so that there is a definite hope for future cultural preservation.
