Listening to "Rogue Churches" hosted by Art Bulla on BlogTalkRadio http://ping.fm/NpGrO

President of the Church is not the Lord's anointed (see D&C 132:7). Sealing power belongs to Kingdom of God which is a separate organization. Rogue Church crosses boundaries and has become an enemy to the Holy Order of God, fighting against Zion. Reading from Francis Michael Darter's book, Zion's Redemption, and Keys of the Priesthood Illus. by Stephen L. Bishop, TPJS, and Journal of Discourses, and the Revelations of Jesus Christ: 132 And did not Utah, saith the Lord, desire to become a state like unto all other states, and for this cause ye did forsake my law, even that of Abraham, O ye Latter-Day-Saints, yea, even that which ye, O ye Gentiles call polygamy, even as Israel hath forsaken my statutes and my judgments in all ages of the world and have even gone whoring after strange gods? RJC, Section 2.
"We sit here as judges, and suppose that business which would prove injurious to this people should now be presented for them to decide upon, or suppose that the leaders of this people had forsaken the Lord and should introduce, through selfishness (Spencer Kimball, in the matter of negro priesthood), that which would militate against the kingdom of God on the earth, that which would in the issue actually destroy this people, how are you going to detect the wrong and know it from the right? You cannot do it, unless you have the Spirit of the Lord. Do the people enjoy that Spirit? Yes, many of them do. Do they enjoy it in as great a degree as it is their privilege? A few of them do, still I think that the people in general might enjoy more of the Holy Spirit, more of the nature and essence of the Deity, than they do. I know that they have their trials, I know they have the world to grapple with, and are tempted, and I know what they have to war against." Brigham Young; Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 3:, p.44-45


Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, selected and arranged by Joseph Fielding Smith, p.237
"...applied it to the present state of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-said if the people departed from the Lord, they must fall..."
