I Only Follow Jesus?
1 Nephi 11: 36
"And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
I think its interesting how the Book of Mormon warns those who would fight against "the twelve apostles" and not just "the Lamb of God" Himself.
Some people claim to follow Jesus but then say "I only follow Jesus, but I don't follow any man, no prophet, no Apostles, no institution and no Church. But Jesus Christ called prophets. He called Apostles, He established His Church and His priesthood authority and His kingdom on Earth, and if we truely follow Jesus Christ, we must also be willing to submit to Hos priesthood authority and work to be a part of and build up His kingdom.
We must learn 3 lessons in this life: 1. love God, 2. control our bodies (thou shalt not), 3. submit to God's priesthood authority (thou shalt).
