The Wrong Jesus?

LDS are criticized/condemned for believing in the "wrong Jesus" and for following "our heart" (what we believe is the Holy Spirit). Yet, Matt 12:32 says all blasphemy against Christ will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not.

Matt 12:31-32

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

So. even if LDS get it wrong about some of the details about Jesus Christ who we accept as Lord and Savior, and who we believe rose from the dead.  And even if we got it wrong about the Book of Mormon which testifies that the same Jesus of Nazareth in the Bible is the Christ, the promised Messiah, and divine Son of God. LDS follow the Holy Spirit's direction with regard to correct interpretation of God's Word and accepted additional gifts from the Holy Spirit with regard to additional scripture, priesthood authority, and revelation.  We cannot, nor dare, speak against the Holy Ghost, which validates our worship of Jesus Christ. 

And if another person claims to be following their conscience in their belief of Jesus Christ, but their belief is a little different; I cannot speak against them either, lest I be in danger of speaking against the Holy Ghost also. 

AofF 1:11

"We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

At the end of the Day, Romans 10:9 says to be considered Christian and to he saved, requires the believer to confess that Jesus is Lord, and that Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead.  That's it. All the other details are also important, but to be saved and to be considered Christian, according to God's Word, this is the minimum requirement. 

Rom 10:9

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 

In Coming Days

President Nelson stated, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost. My beloved brothers and sisters, I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”

What if this quote said [survive physically] instead of [survive spiritually]? How might you respond differently,?

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).
