The Problem with Catholic and Protestant Churches
The problem with these mainstream sectarian churches such as the Catholics and Protestants is that they have no authority. To preach without Priesthood authority is taking the Lord's name in vain, not being guided by legal administrators in the flesh receiving direct revelation from God.
29 He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts; for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion.
(2 Nephi 26:29)
Discourses of Brigham Young, Pg.135 Where the Priesthood is not, the people are expected to live according to the best knowledge they have; but even then they cannot with impunity commit many heinous faults. The Lord more readily overlooks them in consequence of their unenlightened condition, and there is a kingdom prepared for them.
10:286.
Discourses of Brigham Young, Pg.135 When a man merely from a spirit of conviction goes forth to build up the Kingdom of God -- to reform the nations of the earth, he can go so far as morality operates upon and enlightens him; but he is without authority from heaven. We are under no obligation to obey any man or being in matters pertaining to salvation, unless his words have the authority and sanction of the holy Priesthood. 8:122.
Discourses of Brigham Young, Pg.136 I never passed John Wesley's church in London without stopping to look at it. Was he a good man? Yes; I suppose him to have been, by all accounts, as good as ever walked on this earth, according to his knowledge. Has he obtained a rest? Yes, and greater than ever entered his mind to expect; and so have thousands of others of the various religious denominations. Why could he not build up the Kingdom of God on the earth? He had not the Priesthood; that was all the difficulty he labored under. Had the Priesthood been conferred upon him, he would have built up the Kingdom of God in his day as it is now being built up. He would have introduced the ordinances, powers, grades, and quorums of the Priesthood; but, not holding the Priesthood, he could not do it. Did the Spirit of God rest upon him? Yes, and does, more or less, at times, upon all people. 7:5.
The above is a reference to the High Priesthood which is the Melchizedek Priesthood. Jesus Christ Himself was an Apostle.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
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.
(New Testament | Hebrews 5:7 - 10)
Moses received the Priesthood from Jethro, his father in law. Jesus had to go to John the Baptist for he was the only legal administrator at the time. Paul after receiving his first vision still had to go Ananias, a legal administrator, to get baptized.
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Five 1842-43 Pg.274 Whenever men can find out the will of God and find an administrator legally authorized from God, there is the kingdom of God; but where these are not, the kingdom of God is not. All the ordinances, systems, and administrations on the earth are of no use to the children of men, unless they are ordained and authorized of God; for nothing will save a man but a legal administrator; for none others will be acknowledged either by God or angels.
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
The Mormon Church had the Priesthood until they apostatized in June 9, 1978 when the church under Presidend Spencer Kimball announced the Priesthood would be given to the sons of Cain the Negro. This was in fulfillment of a prophecy by Brigham Young:
"Let this Church which is called the kingdom of God on the earth; we will summons the first presidency, the twelve, the high counsel, the bishopric, and all the elders of Israel, suppose we summons them to appear here, and here declare that it is right to mingle our seed, with the black race of Cain, that they shall come in with us and be partakers with us of all the blessings God has given to us. On that very day, and hour we should do so, the priesthood is taken from this Church and kingdom and God leaves us to our fate. The moment we consent to mingle with the seed of Cain the Church must go to destruction--we should receive the curse which has been placed upon the seed of Cain, and never more be numbered with the children of Adam who are heirs to the priesthood until that curse be removed."
In January of 1979, Art Bulla the last correctly ordained Seventy Apostle received the Priesthood and received his first two written revelations which he showed to his hometeacher at the time Randy Olson, one which criticized the Church for giving the Priesthood to the blacks. He was physically assaulted by Randy and the Church made a preposterous request to Art that he apologize to the Church for this action which he refused and was excommunicated.
Who are the Seventies? They are Apostles just like the Twelve and have equal authority.
1 AFTER these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
(Luke 10:1)
25 The Seventy are also called to preach the gospel, and to be especial witnesses unto the Gentiles and in all the world--thus differing from other officers in the church in the duties of their calling.
26 And they form a quorum, equal in authority to that of the Twelve special witnesses or Apostles just named.
(Doctrine & Covenants 107:25-26)
“The Seventies are Apostles; and they stand next in authority to the Twelve...If through the providence of God the First Presidency and the Twelve were taken away, then it would be the duty of the Seventies to preach the Gospel, build up the Church , and ordain every officer requisite in order to establish the Church, and ordain High Priests, Bishops, High Counselors, Patriarchs, and set in order the whole church in all the world. This is according to the revelations given to us...I suppose I ordained hundreds of Seventies in early days. Brother Joseph Smith has come to us many times, saying, ‘Brethren, you are going to ordain Seventies. Do not forget to confer the high priesthood (Melchizedec priesthood) upon them. Ordain each of them to the High Priesthood, and to be one of the Seventy Apostles.’ This was my language in the ordination of the Seventies, and that is the way I ordain them now." Brigham Young, Des. News, June 6, 1877, p. 274.
I know by revelation from the Spirit of God that Art is the One Mighty and Strong propehsied in D&C 85:7 and Isaiah 28:2. He has come to straighten out the house of God.
7 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;
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 85:7)
1 WOE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
(Old Testament | Isaiah 28:1 - 3
"Brethren, this Church will be led onto the very brink of hell by the leaders of this people, then God will raise up the one `Mighty and Strong' spoken of in the 85th Section of the Doctrine & Covenants to save and redeem this Church." Attested to by Joshua Jones who made a minute of it at that time and now has it in his diary
15 Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;
16 Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.
17 For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched–out arm.
18 And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 103:15 - 18)
Art is the man likened unto Moses. Joseph Smith sowed the seeds for the building of Zion, it is Art Bulla who will now reap the fruits. I am moved by the Holy Spirit every day of my life and I feel it often coarse through my body from which manifestation makes my body tremble and I ask all sincere worshippers of the Lord ask for a testimony.
