The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead
James 2: 14 What doth it profit , my brethren, though a man say he hath
faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;
what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
So if we say we have faith in the Gospel, what's the point if we fail to
live godly lives and go to church? As the above verses aptly point out, our
faiths then would ring pretty hollow, unbelievers would laugh at us when we
profess our faith to them. Attending a church is a mandatory requirement of
a Christian life Regular attendance helps maintain and grow our faith in
Christ. The Twelve Apostles built the first Church of Jesus Christ, they
didn't just say everyone do as you please, worship as you desire as long as
you have faith,did they? There is an organized establishment, a set of rules
and ordinances, by which the Lord rules a church. Doctrines and Covenants
section 132:8 says,"Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord
God, and not a house of confusion." This establishment by which the Lord
rules is called the Melchizedek Priesthood.
"What is Priesthood? It is the government of God, whether on the earth or in
the heavens, for it is by that power, agency, or principle that all things
are governed on the earth and in the heavens, and by that power that all
things are upheld and sustained. It governs all things-it directs all
things-it sustains all things-and has to do with all things that God and
truth are associated with. It is the power of God delegated to intelligences
in the heavens and to man on the earth." John Taylor
Hebrew, chapter 5
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto
all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Prophet Joseph Smith said"All men are liars who say they are of the true
Church without the revelations of Jesus Christ and the Priesthood of
Melchizedek, which is after the order of the Son of God." (Teachings of the
Prophet Smith pg. 376) So all these dominations, sects of churches are all
liars and as God revealed to Joseph Smith in his first vision are an
abomination to Him.
Joseph Smith- History 1:19
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong;
and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an
abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that:"they
draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they
teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but
they deny the power thereof."
Adam, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus
Christ, Peter,Joseph Smith.among others, and now Art Bulla, that One Mighty
and Strong spoken of in Isaiah 11:10 and 28:2( I know Art is that man
prophesized because Jong and I and others have felt the Holy Spirit manifest
in us to the very shaking of our bodies and the light radiating in our
bodies or we would not know that this work is true) , were ordained into the
Melchizedek Priesthood being the Lord's anointed of which there is only one
at a time. "This Priesthood has been on the earth at various times. Adam had
it, Seth had it, Enoch had it, Noah had it. Abraham and Lot had it, and it
was handed down to the days of the Prophets, long after the days of the
ancients. This High Priesthood rules, directs, governs, and controls all the
Priesthoods, because it is the highest of all." Brigham Young. Journal of
Discourses pg.131
Remember Jesus Christ Himself had to be baptized and conferred Himself by
John the Baptist to the Priesthood before He could do the Lord's work. That
was absolutely required.
However, the Priesthood and the Church are seperate. The church is given
orders by the Priesthood. If the church apostasizes by not heeding the
commandments of the Priesthood, then they will be cast off if they don't
repent and the Lord will build up a Church from somewhere else. (The Mormon
Church has apostasized after giving the Negro the Priesthood in 1978
although they were already in a state of decline by departing from certain
doctrines.).
"We are asked, is the Church of God, and the Kingdom of God the same
organization? And we are informed that some of the brethren hold that they
are separate. This is the correct view to take. The Kingdom of God is a
seperate organization from the Church of God. There may be men acting as
officers in the Kingdom of God who will not be members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints." George Q. Cannon. Joseph Smith and World
Government:pg.9
"A man may be a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, and it may have nothing to do
with his being the President of the Church. Suffice it to say, that Joseph
was the President of the Church as long as he lived: the people chose to
have it so. He always filled that responsible station, by the voice of the
people. Can you find any revelation appointing him the president of the
Church? The keys of the priesthood were committed to Joseph, to build up the
kingdom of God on earth, and were not to be taked from him in time or
eternity; but when he was called to preside over the Church, it was the
voice of the people; though he had the keys of the priesthood, independent
of their voice." Brigham Young. Journal of Discourses
The apostasy of the Mormon Church shows why it's a good reason why the
Priesthood is seperate from the church. Brigham Young prophesized of the
current state of the church and the coming of the One Mighty and
Strong:"."Brethren, this Church will be led on to the very brink of hell by
the leaders of this Church, and then God will raise up the One, Mighty, and
Stron spoken of in the 85th Section of Doctrine and Covenants to save and
redeem this Church."
D&C 85:7 says,"And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one
mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with
light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while
his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God,
and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found,
and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book
of the law of God."
JP, therefore, there is channel by which the Lord must be worshipped just
like in the days of old. That medium , that Priesthood was restored by the
Lord through Joseph Smith. Otherwise, these secterian churches,
denominations just make up their own thoughts and interpretations on what
Biblical scriptures mean, create all sort of silly dietary rules like the
Pharisees do and the Mormons now do They do not get revelations like Art
Bulla, the One Mighty and Strong, does.Art Bulla has been appointed by
revelation through the Lord to redeem the fallen church that Jong,.Don
Allen, and I are part of, to prepare to build Zion, aka New Jerusalem which
is in Missouri, USA. I suggest you pray about what you have read, if Joseph
Smith and Art Bulla are true prophets of God. James 1:5 says,"If any lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth
not; and it shall be given him."

"All men are liars who say they are of the true Church without the
revelations of Jesus Christ and the Priesthood of Melchizedek, which is
after the order of the Son of God."
Joseph Smith; TPJS p. 376
I would like to correct a mistake I made in my post. I said Jesus Christ had
to be baptized and conferred Himself by John the Baptist. This is wrong.
Jesus was baptized to fulfill all righteousness.to set an example for
everyone else but was never ordained by John the Baptist.
I also wanted to say that Art Bulla started to get written revelations after
wresting the Apostleship in 1974 ,having the keys of the Melchizedek
Priesthood, because he was the last correctly ordained Apostle after they
started to have the existing Apostles being ordained High Priests when the
Apostleship is a higher office than High Priest and only an Apostle can
baptize and ordain a High Priest. Rex Pinegar the Seventies Apostle who
ordained Art into the same office later in that same year was ordained into
a High Priest so he lost his authority.
I think that Jesus was a great man, but I am the redeemer of myself.
Believe me is less confortable than assigning to the Son of God the
responsibility to redeem all the mistake we do.
