Church Rejects "Testimony of Jesus" Favoring Friendship with the World
And though the
High Priests may mourn over it, it is just so, and any man, (not just a select corporate clique of businessmen
and high priests, such as those
who govern the Mormon Church today) may
attain to the Apostleship with all the keys of
the Kingdom of God encompassed within this ordination, and thus provide a
check and a safeguard against this elitism, and the rich
and powerful
politically taking over the Church as the High Priests think
they have done
today.
The Five Laws Which Have Been Tampered with by the Devil Concerning the Seventy are These:
1. The Seventies are not to be High Priests: ‘‘Another subject of vital importance to the Church was the establishing of the grades of the different quorums. It was ascertained that all but one or two of the Presidents of the Seventies were High Priests, this was declared to be wrong, and not according to the order of heaven.’’ Joseph Smith, TPJS p. 111.
...the President of my Church, saith the Lord, is not above my law, for even I the Lord God am bound if ye do what I say. Therefore all are subject unto righteousness, and the laws thereof which change not. The Revelations of Jesus Christ, Section 1
‘‘It was ascertained that all but one or two of the Presidents of the Seventies were High Priests, this was declared to be wrong...’’
‘‘...they should have seven Presidents to preside over them,
chosen out of the number of the Seventy.’’ D&C 107:93.
2. The Twelve are to call upon the Seventy instead of any others when they need assistance: ‘‘It is the duty of the traveling high council (Twelve)to call upon the Seventy, when they need assistance, to fill the several call for preaching and administering the gospel, instead of any others.’’ D&C 107:38.
3. The Presidents of the Seventy are to be chosen out of the Seventy, not out of the High Priests: ‘‘And it is according to the vision showing the order of the Seventy, that they should have seven Presidents to preside over them, chosen out of the number of the Seventy. D&C 107:93.
4. The Seventy are to be chosen out of the Elders Quorum: ‘‘The Seventy are to be taken from the quorum of the Elders, and are not to be High Priests.’’ TPJS p. 112.
5. The quorums of Seventy are General Church Quorums and not to be confused withanystakenumbering,norcontrolled or handled in any way as a quorum, by stake authorities who are High Priests only, and not Apostles, saith the Lord:
‘‘The Seventies are not called to be a local body, but are ordained Seventy Apostles, to travel, ordain local officers, and build up and set in order the whole Kingdom of God upon the earth, wherever it is necessary.’’ Brigham Young; Seventies Council Hall, April 27, 1861.

SECTION 160.
RevelationReceivedAugust8,1989,Provo, Utah on the Reason of the Separation, that the Seventy are Not to Be High Priests.
3--for He is that One Mighty and Strong, also spoken as the Root of Jesse4.1The reason, saith the Lord, that the Seventy are to be totally segregated from High Priests is to maintain the system of checks and balances in the Kingdom of God, that the keys belong to the Seventies.
2 And though the High Priests may mourn over it, it is just so, and any man, (not just a select corporate clique of businessmen and high priests, such as those who govern the Mormon Church today) may attain to the Apostleship with all the keys of the Kingdom of God encompassed within this ordination, and thus provide a check and a safeguard against this elitism, and the rich and powerful politically taking over the Church as the High Priests think they have done today.
3 But the keys of the Kingdom of God (the Apostleship), have I removed from them, saith the Lord, that by the power of mine anointed, even that One Mighty and Strong, who holdeth the Sceptre of power according to the Covenant which I the Lord God did make with David
‘‘The Seventies are not called to be a local body, but are ordained Seventy Apostles, to travel, ordain local officers, and build up and set in order the whole Kingdom of God upon the earth, wherever it is necessary.’’
‘‘...they should have seven Presidents to preside over them,
chosen out of the number of the Seventy. ’’ D&C 107:93.

LECTURES ON TRUE DOCTRINE4 For by him I, the Lord God may set mine House in Order (see D&C 85:7).
5 For He, saith the Lord, shall do no other thing than that which I command him, that by the weak and simple and despised things of the earth, I may thrash thy nation, O Ephraim, that I may prove unto thee, O High Priest, that I the Lord change not, but am the same, yesterday, today, and forever.
6 For it is that no one cometh unto me, the Father of Heaven and earth, but by him, for this generation.
7 For it is that they must pass by him, for his approval, saith the Lord, before they come, even unto my servant, Brigham Young, who standeth also in the path, and are Angels and Gods appointed in the path to stand, and by whom the sons of men must pass before they obtain the presence of the Father.
8 Even so. Amen.
Comment: These changes mentioned above, from the Law of God, concerning theSeventy,constituteapostasy,eventhough introduced by an angel from heaven, (not to mentionaPresidentoftheChurchofChrist).
‘‘But though we or an angel of light preach any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.’’

D&C 76:82
82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus (i.e. a prophet, in this case, Brigham Young).
The Gospel is that Adam is God and is the Father of the Savior Jesus Christ, and is the Father of our spirits, and will return as prophesied by Daniel in Chapter 7:
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
(Dan 7:9) 34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson--
36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
Church out of order in Succession to First Presdency
The law of God is that the Twelve "are to call upon the Seventy when they need assistance...instead of any others". D&C 107:38 The Church has not followed this order. What greater need (for the Twelve) than to fill a vacancy in their quorum? The Seventy are "to be chosen out of the Elder's Quorums and are not to be High Priests." TPJS p. 112

- "But we ask, does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to call down one scrap of revelation from heaven, and for all they have now are indebted to the faith of another people...does it remain for them to say how much God has spoken and how much He has not spoken?"

When a man goes about prophesying, and commands men to obey his teachings, he must either be a true or false prophet. - Our website: http://www.artbulla.com
- "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
- "He that can mark the power of Omnipotence, inscribed upon the heavens, can also see God's own handwriting in the sacred volume: and he who reads it oftenest will like it best, and he who is acquainted with it, will know the hand wherever he can see it...." (T.P.J.S., p. 56)
· 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (New Testament | Galatians 1:10 - 12)
