Separating the book of mormon from mormonism
Cast off the masonic publications these churches claim to be scripture (The D&C and the Inspired Version) which is the foundation of Mormonism! That simple! Mormonism does not exist in the pages of the book of Mormon (Nephite Record)!

Joe [aka Joseph] Smith - Seer Not Prophet
Joe [aka Joseph] Smith - Seer Not Prophet
What was Joseph Smith called to do? To bring forth a book. What was The Book supposed to do?
1.Clarify Doctrine
2.Strengthen Jacob, the House of Israel, the Jews.
3.Unify the believers.
4.Build up the Bible.
5.Build up the Lord’s Church, which he said was already present.
6.Define who his "other sheep" were.
7.Reveal the "true points of doctrine."
8.Eliminate contention.
Joseph Smith sequestered The Book of Mormon to his church, thus, preventing it from going freely to the public.
Today, The Book of Mormon is associated with doctrine it does not contain - those of Joeseph’s churches. This has caused a serious wound to the original purpose and work of God for The Book of Mormon.
Joseph’s original calling was to bring forth The Book of Mormon:
8. And I shall give unto him a commandment that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him. (2 Nephi 3)
And you have a gift to translate the plates; and I have commanded that you should pretend to no other gift for I will grant unto you no other gift. (Book of Commandments IV:2)
Behold I give unto you a commandment, that you rely upon the things which are written (Book of Mormon); for in them ARE ALL THINGS WRITTEN, concerning my church, my gospel, and my rock. (Book of Commandments XV:3, dated June, 1829.)
Contend against no church, save it be the church of the devil. (D&C 18:20)
After this work was done, Joseph was allowed to preach:
After the translation of the Book of Mormon was finished, early in the spring of 1830, before April 6th, Joseph gave the stone to Oliver Cowdery and told me as well as the rest that he was through with it, and he did not use the stone any more. He said he was through the work that God had given him the gift to perform, except to preach the gospel. (David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers, 1885, p. 32.)
Unfortunately, Joseph went beyond this call. Readers should note that the Urim and Thummim was prepared for the purpose of transmitting The Book. When that purpose was completed, they were returned to Moroni. This shows how singular Joe’s work was to be.
If Joe was meant to be a prophet of the people, or their church leader, he would have retained the use of the Urim and Thummim - just as the prophets of old - but he did not.
Joe went on to give more revelations without the anointing he had for The Book of Mormon project. Whether these were inspired requires discernment. If they add requirements to salvation, then we know they were not.
There is one revelation however which pertains to The Book of Mormon that may have been inspired. It’s considered God’s last warning for Joe’s people to turn back, dated September 1832:
54 And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received—
55 Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation.
56 And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all.
57 And THEY SHALL REMAIN UNDER THIS CONDEMNATION UNTIL THEY REPENT AND REMEMBER THE NEW COVENANT, EVEN THE BOOK OF MORMON and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to DO ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN—
58 That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father’s kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion. (D&C 84:55-58)
We may recall that Joe’s followers did receive judgment - they just don’t understand the true reason why - this explains why.

AN ADDRESS TO ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST
AN ADDRESS TO ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST
David Whitmer
Richmond, Missouri
1887
Christ commanded the Nephites to write his teachings, for they were to come down to us as the fullness of his gospel to us.
As you know, the teachings of Christ are the same in the New Testament and in the Book of Mormon; but on account of the plain and precious things being taken from the Bible, there is room therein for disputations on some doctrinal points; but the teachings of Christ in the Book of Mormon are pure, plain, simple and full. Of course I do not mean to place one book ahead of the other. I am also called to bear witness that the Bible is true. The angel who declared unto us that the Book of Mormon was true, also declared unto us that the Bible (KING JAMES VERSION) was true. They are both the Word of God, and as it is prophesied, they both shall be one.
The "Doctrine and Covenants" — in which are the doctrines that Christ never taught to the "twelve" at Jerusalem, nor to the "twelve" upon this continent.
God called him to translate ( The Book Of Mormon) his sacred word by the power and gift of God; but he was not called to set up and establish the church any more than any of us Elders were.
After the translation of the Book of Mormon was finished, early in the spring of 1830, before April 6th, Joseph gave the stone to Oliver Cowdery and told me as well as the rest that he was through with it, and he did not use the stone any more. He said he was through the work that God had given him the gift to perform, except to preach the gospel. He told us that we would all have to depend on the Holy Ghost hereafter to be guided into truth and obtain the will of the Lord. Revelations in the D&C sect. 2-16 were given through “the stone.” The revelations after this came through Joseph as "mouth piece;" that is, he would enquire of the Lord, pray and ask concerning a matter, and speak out the revelation, which he thought to be a revelation from the Lord; but sometimes he was mistaken about it being the word of the Lord.
In June, 1829, the Lord called Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and myself as the three witnesses, to behold the vision of the Angel, as recorded in the fore part of the Book of Mormon, and to bear testimony to the world that the Book of Mormon is true. I was not called to bear testimony to the mission of Brother Joseph Smith any farther than his work of translating the Book of Mormon, as you can see by reading the testimony of us three witnesses.
Now you have thought that because Brother Joseph was given a gift to translate the Book, that he could not fall into error; and you worship and give credit to the man, when all the credit is due to God. You should think of this matter. Brother Joseph did not write a word of the Book of Mormon; it was already written by holy men of God who dwelt upon this land. God gave to Brother Joseph the gift to see the sentences in English, when he looked into the hat in which was placed the stone. Oliver Cowdery had the same gift at one time. Now when we look at it aright, the fact of Brother Joseph having the gift to translate the Book, is that any reason why you should put any more trust in him than any other man? Not at all. Is that any reason why he should be a man who could not fall? Not at all. As you see from what the Lord told him, he was very weak man, and liable to fall even while translating the Book. "How oft have you transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men.... If thou art not aware thou wilt fall.... Thou hast suffered the counsel of thy Director to be trampled upon from the beginning..... Thou wilt again be called to the work; and except thou do this (repent) thou shalt be delivered up and become as other men, and have no more gift." (To translate.) I give you my testimony that the Lord had to chastise Brother Joseph time and again, as a father would a disobedient child, to help him through the translation of the Book.
Trusting in an arm of flesh, by receiving Brother Joseph's revelations as if they were from God's own mouth, when some of his revelations conflict with the teachings of Christ in the two sacred books. I tell you brethren, you are trusting in an arm of flesh and being in blindness you cannot see it.
ONE MAN TO LEAD AND RECEIVE REVELATIONS FOR THE CHURCH, NOT ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
In June, 1829, Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery and myself, received this commandment through the stone, "Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that you rely upon the things which are written (then, at that time, June, 1829), for in them are all things written concerning my church, my gospel, and my rock." This revelation reads this way to-day in the old Book of Commandments. But the Latter Day saints changed it in 1834 to read different in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants. The revelations received through the stone in 1829, agree with the teachings of Christ in the Bible and Book of Mormon; but in order to support the errors which were afterwards introduced by men, some of the early revelations have been changed and added to.
RELATIVE TO PUBLISHING THE REVELATIONS
The main reason why the printing press was destroyed, was because they published the Book of Commandments. It fell into the hands of the world, and the people of Jackson county, Missouri, saw from the revelations that they were considered by the church as intruders upon the land of Zion, as enemies to the church, and that they should be cut off out of the land of Zion and sent away. The people seeing these things in the Book of Commandments became the more enraged, tore down the printing press, and drove the church out of Jackson county. (See Doc. and Cov., Sections 52:9, 64:7, 45:15.)
I will now tell you of a prophecy which the Lord gave through me to Brothers Joseph Smith and Sydney Rigdon, of what should come to pass if they printed those revelations. In the spring of 1832, in Hiram, Ohio, Brothers Joseph and Sydney, and others, concluded that the revelations should be printed in a book. A few of the brethren — including myself — objected to it seriously. We told them that if the revelations were published, the world would get the books, and it would not do; that it was not the will of the Lord that the revelations should be published.
But Brothers Joseph and Sydney would not listen to us, and said they were going to send them to Independence to be published. I objected to it and withstood Brothers Joseph and Sydney to the face. Brother Joseph said as follows: "Any man who objects to having these revelations published, shall have his part taken out of the Tree of Life and out of the Holy City." The Spirit of God came upon me and I prophesied to them in the name of the Lord: "That if they sent those revelations to Independence to be published in a book, the people would come upon them and tear down the printing press, and the church would be driven out of Jackson county." Brothers Joseph and Sydney laughed at me. Early in the spring of 1833, at Independence, Mo., the revelations were printed in the Book of Commandments. Many of the books were finished and distributed among the members of the church, and through some of the unwise brethren, the world got hold of some of them. From that time the ill-feeling toward us began to increase; and in the summer of 1833 the mob came upon us, tore down the printing press, and drove the church out of Jackson county.
FREEMASONREY BY ANOTHER NAME
In June, 1838, at Far West, Mo., a secret organization was formed, Doctor Avard being put in as the leader of the band; a certain oath was to be administered to all the brethren to bind them to support the heads of the church in everything they should teach. All who refused to take this oath were considered dissenters from the church, and certain things were to be done concerning these dissenters, by Dr. Avard's secret band. I make no farther statements now; but suffice it to say that my persecutions, for trying to show them their errors, became of such a nature that I had to leave the Latter Day Saints; and, as I rode on horseback out of Far West, in June, 1838, the voice of God from heaven spake to me as I have stated above. I was called out to hold the authority which God gave to me.
I see from a letter written by the heads of the church, while they were in Liberty Jail, that they repented while in jail of having anything to do with this secret organization, and came out again Dr. Avard, declaring it all wickedness, and resolved to henceforth disapprobate everything that was not according to the gospel, and which was not of a bold, frank and upright nature. I quote from this letter, printed in the Times and Seasons, July, 1840:
"We farther caution our brethren against the impropriety of the organization of bands or companies, by covenants, oaths, penalties, or secrecies; but let the time past of our experience and suffering by the wickedness of Dr. Avard suffice. And let our covenants be that of the everlasting covenant, as it is contained in the Holy Writ, and the things which God has revealed unto us. Pure friendship always becomes weakened the very moment you undertake to make it stronger by penal oaths and secrecy. Your humble servants intend FROM HENCEFORTH to disapprobate everything that is not in accordance with the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and which is not of a bold, frank and upright nature."
They were put in jail in November, after I had left them. Now you see why I left the Latter Day Saints. After I left them they say they gave me a trial and cut me off. About the same time that I came out, the Spirit of God moved upon quite a number of the brethren who came out, with their families. All of the eight witnesses who were then living (except the three Smiths) came out; Peter and Christian Whitmer were dead. Oliver Cowdery came out also. Martin Harris was then in Ohio. The church went deeper and deeper into wickedness. They were driven out of Missouri, and went to Nauvoo; and were driven out of Nauvoo, and went to Salt Lake, where they are to-day, believing in the doctrine of polygamy. Nearly all the members at Nauvoo went to Salt Lake. Only a very few rejected the revelation on polygamy. The Reorganization is built up principally of members — not of the old church — but new converts. The majority of those who did not go to Salt Lake are in the Reorganized Church to-day.
THE CHOICE SEER.
The "CHOICE SEER," spoken of in the Book of Mormon is not Brother Joseph. He is yet to come forth. The man who is not learned (in 2 Nephi xi:18), refers to Brother Joseph, but the "Choice Seer" (in 2 Nephi ii) is another man. He is to come from the Lamanites. He is to come from the fruit of the loins of Joseph (of Egypt), that seed being the "branch which was to be broken off" at Jerusalem, to whom this land was consecrated for their inheritance forever — being Lehi and his seed; Lehi's seed being little Joseph, who received the blessing from his father Lehi, that his seed should not be utterly destroyed; for out of his seed which should not all be destroyed (the Indians) should come to this "Choice Seer." This is the interpretation of this chapter. This "Choice Seer" will be of that seed. His name will be Joseph, and his father's name Joseph. He is to translate sealed records yet to come forth, (spoken of in 2 Nephi xi:18). "And not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, BUT TO THE CONVINCING THEM OF MY WORD." How many Indians did Brother Joseph convince? He never preached a sermon to them in his life to my knowledge.
To conclude, we see that Brother Joseph was not this Choice Seer for the following reasons:
First: He is to come from the seed of Lehi, and Joseph Smith is not of that seed.
Second: He is to convince the Lamanites in person; Joseph Smith did not convince them.
Third: His tongue will not be loosed that he can speak much, and the Lord is to raise up a spokesman for him; Joseph Smith's tongue was loosed to speak, he being a good speaker.
Fourth: Those who seek to destroy this Seer will be confounded, this does not agree as being Brother Joseph, because he was destroyed.
Fifth: The Choice Seer will be faithful and do strictly according to the command of God; Brother Joseph broke the commands of God from the beginning.
So we see that Brother Joseph was not this Choice Seer.

2NE.12:1 And now, behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you according as the Spirit hath constrained me; wherefore, I know that they must surely come to pass.
2 And the things which shall be written out of the book shall be of great worth unto the children of men, and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel.
3 For it shall come to pass in that day, that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other, Behold, I, I am the Lord's; and the other shall say, I, I am the Lord's.
The restoration, or LDS, RLDS, has always claimed to be the only true church, the restored church. The Book of Mormon condemns them and ALL Churches not built unto the lord.
12 Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false, and vain, and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in the dark; and the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against them.
13 Yea, they have all gone out of the way; they have become corrupted.
14 Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine, their churches have become corrupted; and their churches are lifted up; because of pride, they are puffed up.
They have ALL become corrupted.
(These words copied from the Book of Mormon and put into the IV)
Isaiah 29:24 Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things unto the children of men.
25 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith.
26 And again it shall come to pass, that the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him( Joseph Smith), Forasmuch as this people (those around Joseph in the early church) draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precepts of men, therefore I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people; yea, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.
27 And woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord. And their works are in the dark; and they say, Who seeth us and who knoweth us? (Masons in the leadership of the church) And they also say, Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay. (changing revelations)
28 But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of hosts, that I know all their works.
(The Inspired Version and the Doctrine and Covenants These 2 books have Masonic fingerprints all over them)
For, shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE MASONIC INFLUENCE IS IN EVERY BOOK OF MORMON CHURCH, IT’S IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE PRIESTHOOD, THE VERY FOUNDATION.
The people around Joseph at that time had other motives, rather than the Lords Work. We are the result of 175yrs. of disobeying God’s directive for Book of Mormon believers.
Sec 83:8a] And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received, which vanity and unbelief hath brought the whole church under condemnation.
[Sec 83:8b] And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all; and they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written,
[Sec 83:8c] that they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom, otherwise there remaineth a scourge and a judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion; for, shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay.
Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, Keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion:
The marvelous work is not the creating of another Gentile church, which is what the people in 1830 did.
1: The church never left the earth it was in the wilderness, (out of site).
2: The priesthood never left the earth it also was hidden.
3: To believe otherwise is to have, blinders on when it comes to history. Study The Second Great Awakening and Charles Finney.

"We farther caution our brethren against the impropriety of the organization of bands or companies, by covenants, oaths, penalties, or secrecies; but let the time past of our experience and suffering by the wickedness of Dr. Avard suffice. And let our covenants be that of the everlasting covenant, as it is contained in the Holy Writ, and the things which God has revealed unto us. Pure friendship always becomes weakened the very moment you undertake to make it stronger by penal oaths and secrecy. Your humble servants intend FROM HENCEFORTH to disapprobate everything that is not in accordance with the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and which is not of a bold, frank and upright nature."
They were put in jail in November, after I had left them. Now you see why I left the Latter Day Saints. After I left them they say they gave me a trial and cut me off. About the same time that I came out, the Spirit of God moved upon quite a number of the brethren who came out, with their families. All of the eight witnesses who were then living (except the three Smiths) came out; Peter and Christian Whitmer were dead. Oliver Cowdery came out also. Martin Harris was then in Ohio. The church went deeper and deeper into wickedness. They were driven out of Missouri, and went to Nauvoo; and were driven out of Nauvoo, and went to Salt Lake, where they are to-day, believing in the doctrine of polygamy. Nearly all the members at Nauvoo went to Salt Lake. Only a very few rejected the revelation on polygamy. The Reorganization is built up principally of members — not of the old church — but new converts. The majority of those who did not go to Salt Lake are in the Reorganized Church to-day.
THE CHOICE SEER.
The "CHOICE SEER," spoken of in the Book of Mormon is not Brother Joseph. He is yet to come forth. The man who is not learned (in 2 Nephi xi:18), refers to Brother Joseph, but the "Choice Seer" (in 2 Nephi ii) is another man. He is to come from the Lamanites. He is to come from the fruit of the loins of Joseph (of Egypt), that seed being the "branch which was to be broken off" at Jerusalem, to whom this land was consecrated for their inheritance forever — being Lehi and his seed; Lehi's seed being little Joseph, who received the blessing from his father Lehi, that his seed should not be utterly destroyed; for out of his seed which should not all be destroyed (the Indians) should come to this "Choice Seer." This is the interpretation of this chapter. This "Choice Seer" will be of that seed. His name will be Joseph, and his father's name Joseph. He is to translate sealed records yet to come forth, (spoken of in 2 Nephi xi:18). "And not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, BUT TO THE CONVINCING THEM OF MY WORD." How many Indians did Brother Joseph convince? He never preached a sermon to them in his life to my knowledge.
To conclude, we see that Brother Joseph was not this Choice Seer for the following reasons:
First: He is to come from the seed of Lehi, and Joseph Smith is not of that seed.
Second: He is to convince the Lamanites in person; Joseph Smith did not convince them.
Third: His tongue will not be loosed that he can speak much, and the Lord is to raise up a spokesman for him; Joseph Smith's tongue was loosed to speak, he being a good speaker.
Fourth: Those who seek to destroy this Seer will be confounded, this does not agree as being Brother Joseph, because he was destroyed.
Fifth: The Choice Seer will be faithful and do strictly according to the command of God; Brother Joseph broke the commands of God from the beginning.
So we see that Brother Joseph was not this Choice Seer.

2NE.12:1 And now, behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you according as the Spirit hath constrained me; wherefore, I know that they must surely come to pass.
2 And the things which shall be written out of the book shall be of great worth unto the children of men, and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel.
3 For it shall come to pass in that day, that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other, Behold, I, I am the Lord's; and the other shall say, I, I am the Lord's.
The restoration, or LDS, RLDS, has always claimed to be the only true church, the restored church. The Book of Mormon condemns them and ALL Churches not built unto the lord.
12 Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false, and vain, and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in the dark; and the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against them.
13 Yea, they have all gone out of the way; they have become corrupted.
14 Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine, their churches have become corrupted; and their churches are lifted up; because of pride, they are puffed up.
They have ALL become corrupted.
(These words copied from the Book of Mormon and put into the IV)
Isaiah 29:24 Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things unto the children of men.
25 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith.
26 And again it shall come to pass, that the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him( Joseph Smith), Forasmuch as this people (those around Joseph in the early church) draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precepts of men, therefore I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people; yea, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.
27 And woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord. And their works are in the dark; and they say, Who seeth us and who knoweth us? (Masons in the leadership of the church) And they also say, Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay. (changing revelations)
28 But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of hosts, that I know all their works.
(The Inspired Version and the Doctrine and Covenants These 2 books have Masonic fingerprints all over them)
For, shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE MASONIC INFLUENCE IS IN EVERY BOOK OF MORMON CHURCH, IT’S IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE PRIESTHOOD, THE VERY FOUNDATION.
The people around Joseph at that time had other motives, rather than the Lords Work. We are the result of 175yrs. of disobeying God’s directive for Book of Mormon believers.
Sec 83:8a] And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received, which vanity and unbelief hath brought the whole church under condemnation.
[Sec 83:8b] And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all; and they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written,
[Sec 83:8c] that they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom, otherwise there remaineth a scourge and a judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion; for, shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay.
Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, Keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion:
The marvelous work is not the creating of another Gentile church, which is what the people in 1830 did.
1: The church never left the earth it was in the wilderness, (out of site).
2: The priesthood never left the earth it also was hidden.
3: To believe otherwise is to have, blinders on when it comes to history. Study The Second Great Awakening and Charles Finney.

Inherited Covenant Promises
Their is more to it that the Indians were here from as long as time itself. The reality of the Inherited Covenant Promises between the Creator and His People is fact. And the proof is in their traditions, their oral stories, and archeology itself.
Maybe in the dimness of time things become lost, but the agreement between God and the tribes on this land live.
And through the fullness of time the records came forth proving once and for all to the world that the Creators word will not return to Him void.
The most prized of all the original 12 tribes was given this land as one of the covenants. And so it was in 1830 the truth sprang forth into the hands of the white man, the proof of the identity of the very peoples they were annihilating.
The proclamation sprang forth from the earth ,by the hand of God, to stop the deadly slaughter of His people. "For they exterminate the very House of Israel" of whom the white man lays claim through the Bible in which they hold so deer!
Stop the blood shed of my Ancient covenant People!
No... white man wouldn't listen! The Native people said if the white man believed in the same God they did they wouldn't have treated them as such, driving them to and fro like cattle, hated, despised and nearly annihilated!
But as soon as the record sprang forth from the dust the controversy began. Every excuse under the sun was given to destroy the truth. Satin put it into the minds of those in possession of the record to take control of it and to build up a church unto them selves. They sequestered the book to their church, thus, preventing it from going freely to the public. Leaving the Indian at the mercy of a Government, hell bent to finish the conquest, under the influence of "Manifest Destiny."
And so the keepers of the record, in their act of defiance of the Creators decree, ended up being driven to and fro at the hands of their white brothers ,who also thought the book was bewiched of the devil and wouldn't touch it! So the continued act of rebellion engulfed them into such a cloud of darkness that it put them into a perpetual state of defense. A defense of the truth of a record that would stand on it's own had they delivered it into the hands of the rightfully hears of the covenant.
SO IT HAS BEEN A GREAT MISCARRIAGE OF THE WILL OF GOD: THE GREAT SUPPRESSED SPIRITUAL DESTINY OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS.............
IT IS A LITTLE KNOWN HISTORICAL FACT THAT MORMON FOUNDER JOSEPH SMITH WAS INSTRUCTED TO TRANSLATE THE BOOK OF MORMON AND IMMEDIATELY DELIVER IT TO THEM IN ORDER TO EMPOWER AMERICAN INDIANS TO LEAD EUROPEANS SPIRITUAL QUEST -- TOWARD A WORLD WITHOUT WAR AND KILLING...

If Adam had not transgressed
A couple of points put forth on a forum:
1. Why did God show Adam the tree in the first place, and subsequently forbid him from approaching it?
Adam, before the incident was innocent like a child. If you tell a child to not go to a specific toy, what do you think the child will do? Automatically, curiosity will impel the child to touch it. Such is our nature.
Doesn't it mean that God inadvertently led Adam to sin?
2. If Adam had not eaten the apple from the tree, how else would you have existed? How else would this earth have come to be?
-------------------------------------------------------------
I answered with:
If Adam had not transgressed, he would not have fallen; but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created, must have remained in the same state which they were, after they were created; and they must have remained for ever, and had no end.
And they would have had no children; wherefore, they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.
But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things. Adam fell, that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy. And the Messiah cometh in the fullness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.
And because that they are redeemed from the fall, they have become free for ever, knowing good from evil;
To act for themselves, and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the Lord, at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man.
And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great mediation of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil:
For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things.
If not so, righteousness could not be brought to pass; neither wickedness; neither holiness nor misery; neither good nor bad.
Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one;
Wherefore, if it should be one body, it must needs remain as dead, having no life, neither death nor corruption, nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of nought;
Wherefore, there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation.
Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God, and his eternal purposes; and also, the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.
And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin.
And if ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness.
And if there be no righteousness, there be no happiness.
And if there be no righteousness nor happiness, there be no punishment nor misery.
And if these things are not, there is no God.
And if there is no God, we are not, neither the earth, for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

GOD in the Flesh
A FINAL CALL
Dick Bauman,
Let me clarify who God is. The Power of God (His Spirit) is throughout the universe, which He framed and holds in place, and if it were contracted, the universe would implode. When God ‘pulls’ together some of His Spirit (Power) into a form, it is called the Father, and the Father is not limited by time or space, He is thus Omnipresent, and can be anywhere/everywhere all at once! When the Father projects himself into a spot in time; i.e., occupies time and space, such as the dimension we live in; and assumes a physical image patterned after the spiritual form, He is called the Son, or flesh, of God. That’s why the Son is in the image of the Father, but He is simply an extension of the Father.
Thus the Father is AN EXTENTION of the Power, and the Son is AN EXTENSION of the Father! He is in fact ONE GOD!, NOT three separate beings!! This is why Jesus Christ can say He is in the Father, and the Father is in Him, and the Father and He are One!
Christ, of course, could not be killed UNLESS HE GAVE UP PART OF HIS ETERNAL QUALITY. So, in order for the Jews to have him killed, so He could show the world how far he would go to redeem all who would accept Him, He had to set aside some of his power. He said (as an old friend found in an old Bible) “My Power, My Power, why hast thou forsaken me!” Modern Bibles say, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
28 And now Abinadi said unto them, I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people;
29 And because he dwelleth in flesh, he shall be called the Son of God:
30 And having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son; the Father because he was conceived by the power of God: and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son:
31 And they are one God, yea, the very eternal Father of heaven and of earth;
32 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.
A FINAL CALL

Part 5
Many ministers will rail against the ‘author’ of the Book of Mormon, and claim the book is the work of the Devil, BUT EITHER THEY HAVEN’T READ IT, OR DIDN’T STUDY IT AND ASK GOD IF IT’S TRUE!
Now I say ‘fortunately’, because Joseph Smith did, in fact, do MANY things contrary to what the Book Of Mormon actually says. The few who are willing to read this book with the eye of faith, will be astounded with the truth and relevance there is for us today.
As a Baptist minister said after he actually read the book (because he had set out to disprove it), “It is filled with the blood of Jesus.”
Indeed it is, and as it says in 2 Nephi, “And now behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way (but to follow the words of Christ) nor name (Christ) given under heaven, whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.”
Though many have tried laboriously to discredit the Book, the best they can do is to discredit the man; hopefully by killing the messenger, the message will be stopped! I studied the Book for years, and the history surrounding it. I know more ‘dirt’ about Joseph Smith and the church he founded, than probably any other person on the face of the earth, BUT I CAN’T DENY THE FULLFILLMENT OF THE MANY PROPHECIES, AND THE ENORMOUS TRUTH BETWEEN ITS COVERS! Nor can I deny the gift of tongues, and the power of the Holy Ghost I received, AFTER I read and accepted the truth and divinity of that book!
Its message is that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and that he invites all races, men and women, young and old, black or white, rich or poor to partake of Eternal Life. It obviously isn’t anti-Christ, is it?
It declares the plan of salvation, with the Plan of Mercy and the Plan of Justice, with an undeniable simplicity and clarity.
It declares that you must believe in the Bible, and if you believe what the Bible says you will believe this Book from the Native Americans, also.
When the manuscript was written in 1829,
1. It prophesied that the Native People would be relocated and forts built among them. The U.S. Congress passed the Relocation Act in 1830 (the following year!). So that prophecy was fulfilled, wasn’t it?
2. It prophesied the Native People would be scattered, smitten, and brought down almost to nothing, and would be sustained by the Gentiles. That happened, didn’t it?
3. It prophesied that the Gentiles would take over the inheritance of this land. That happened, didn’t it?
4. It prophesied this nation would become the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. That happened, didn’t it?
5. It prophesied that it would have the most pride of any nation. That happened, didn’t it?
6. It prophesied that an organization that believed in Cain would be the downfall of this nation. It describes the earmarks of that organization: handshakes, blood oaths, the ceremonial loin cloth, and the profession of Cain. THAT ORGANIZATION IS FREEMASONRY! I have copies of their materials, and every mason is obligated to employ the principles of Cain. And as one mason told me, “Don’t you know it’s alright to FLEECE the sheep!” Isn’t that contrary to what Christ told Peter THREE times, “FEED my sheep!” So, you see that Freemasonry is contrary to the way of Christ!
Albert Pike, 33 degree, who wrote “Morals and Dogma” for the Masons, stated to a world-wide conference of top Masons some years ago that Lucifer was their God!
The Baptists and most other churches that condemn the Book of Mormon are loaded with Freemasons – so is CONGRESS AND THE LEGAL AND JUDICIAL SYSTEM! These churches should be thankful for the clarity of the Book of Mormon in exposing the secret societies, for it says, concerning the organizations set up by Cain---
“For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
“Wherefore the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come upon you, that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation,because of this secret combination which shall be among you, or wo
be unto it, ---
“For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up, seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries;
“And it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil,”--.
Now here is the real kicker, the Mormon Church RELIGION IS BASED ON FREEMASONRY:
A. building of physical temples (Christ says He is the temple, and our bodies are supposed to be temples, too!),
B. two priesthoods named after men – Aaronic and Melchisidec (Book of Mormon says ONE order of ministry: Holy Order of Christ),
C. A Prophet, and other offices,
D. 3 Glories (the Mormons have added the third one, ‘telestial’, which word does not exist in the dictionary!),
E. blind obedience to next degree above, things done in secret (Christ says He did nothing in secret),
F. inequality of women (they have to be tied to a man to have the best eternal life, although the Book of Mormon says all are equal!) and many other things. (the doctrine of polygamy is directly tied to “eternal marriage” in the Mormon church.)
When the Prophet Brigham Young moved a large group of people west, the first thing they did was to apply for 3 new Masonic Lodges! And it is in their history that when Brigham saw the Salt Lake valley he exclaimed, “This is the place!” However, Christ warned against this in Matt. 24:24-26:
“For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.”
Jeremiah 17:5-6 also curses the man who would follow a man to a “salt land and not inhabited.”
I explained what happened to the Mormon church, and its splinter groups in a series of video/DVD tapes, “To All Book of Mormon Believers: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHURCH?” (See allbookofmormonbelievers.org)
Continuing on with Book of Mormon prophecies.
7. It prophesied that because of the things kept back by the Great Whore, the Gentiles would stumble and establish many churches. In 2000 A.D., there were 285 churches registered with the U.S. Government. That was true, also, wasn’t it?
8. It prophesied that some churches would say little children had to be baptized. That was/is true, also, isn’t it? (Book of Mormon is adamantly against that) Christ picked them up into his arms and blessed them, didn’t He? He did not baptize them! And, He also said, “of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
9. It prophesied the leaders of the Gentile churches had to be paid for their ministry. That’s true, isn’t it?
10. It prophesied that the leaders would say God no longer does miracles for us, and He has left it up to us. That is true, isn’t it? And yet, God is unchangeable, at least that’s what the Bible says. And I, for one, believe what it says, and I know that He does perform miracles.
11. It also says that polygamy is an abomination to God, and men are commanded to have ONLY one wife! (what’s interesting about that is the Bible doesn’t even say that!) And some of the Mormon church members still believe in polygamy, and still practice it. Also, for the record, the doctrine of polygamy was one of the last ‘revelations’ that came through Joseph Smith. He renounced it just before he died, calling it “An accursed doctrine.” When he first came up with it, he told his wife Emma that it was from God, and if she didn’t accept it that God would destroy her. He died about a year later, but she lived many years after.
Unfortunately, the works of Joseph Smith, Jr., and the Mormon church have done more to discredit the Book of Mormon than any outside group!
THE BOOK OF MORMON ALSO HAS PROPHESIED THAT A CONSPIRACY BY A SECRET ORGANIZATION(S) WOULD DESTROY AMERICA, AND IT IS HAPPENING!
12. It prophesied that when this nation is ripe, there will be economic collapse, war & destruction, and the burning of all who will not accept Jesus Christ and His way of life. The question is: is this nation ripe? Christ, in the Bible, talks of the ‘fullness of the Gentiles’. The Book of Mormon clarifies the fullness as when the Gentiles have received the fullness of the truth and have performed the fullness of iniquity.
As you study the Book of Mormon you will realize that indeed it contains the ‘fullness’ of the truth of the gospel. And what about the fullness of iniquity?
A. In what category would you put millions of babies killed by
abortion – the cup of iniquity?
B. In what category would you put the law against prayer in schools – in the cup of iniquity?
C. In what category would you put pornography, - or birth control devices in public school, or condoning illegitimacy – in the cup of iniquity?
D. And we can also add that those who wrote the U.S. Constitution said congressmen SHOULD NOT BE PAID!- hasn’t this brought iniquity to the top of our government?
E. In what category should we put starting wars in various places in the world FOR THE SAKE OF BIG OIL? (admitted by John McCain during his election campaign!)– thus killing thousands of innocent people, including our own fine young women and men: leaving behind children without a parent, who will never have one of their parents attend a school function, or see them married –DOESN’T THAT HEAP UP THE CUP OF INIQUITY?
Now, are you able to set aside prejudice and read the Book of Mormon with an open mind to see the truth and the finale? You will see WHY churches are against it: it condemns the false practices of Protestantism, Catholicism, AND Mormonism, and secret societies. You will understand in detail the Great Separation, and how to find yourself on the right side: to preserve the lives of your families and friends, and be prepared to make it through to be with Christ and a whole new society on this earth. You will see the great plan that will bring the Native Americans back into their inheritance of this land, and how you, as Gentiles, can be a part of it. I have seen parts of it in Vision and Dreams, and my friends Red Elk and Gayle have even seen more detail than I have. And years before us were the visions of President George Washington, the Iroquois prophecy of Deganawida, and others also.

Indeed it is, and as it says in 2 Nephi, “And now behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way (but to follow the words of Christ) nor name (Christ) given under heaven, whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.”
Though many have tried laboriously to discredit the Book, the best they can do is to discredit the man; hopefully by killing the messenger, the message will be stopped! I studied the Book for years, and the history surrounding it. I know more ‘dirt’ about Joseph Smith and the church he founded, than probably any other person on the face of the earth, BUT I CAN’T DENY THE FULLFILLMENT OF THE MANY PROPHECIES, AND THE ENORMOUS TRUTH BETWEEN ITS COVERS! Nor can I deny the gift of tongues, and the power of the Holy Ghost I received, AFTER I read and accepted the truth and divinity of that book!
Its message is that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and that he invites all races, men and women, young and old, black or white, rich or poor to partake of Eternal Life. It obviously isn’t anti-Christ, is it?
It declares the plan of salvation, with the Plan of Mercy and the Plan of Justice, with an undeniable simplicity and clarity.
It declares that you must believe in the Bible, and if you believe what the Bible says you will believe this Book from the Native Americans, also.
When the manuscript was written in 1829,
1. It prophesied that the Native People would be relocated and forts built among them. The U.S. Congress passed the Relocation Act in 1830 (the following year!). So that prophecy was fulfilled, wasn’t it?
2. It prophesied the Native People would be scattered, smitten, and brought down almost to nothing, and would be sustained by the Gentiles. That happened, didn’t it?
3. It prophesied that the Gentiles would take over the inheritance of this land. That happened, didn’t it?
4. It prophesied this nation would become the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. That happened, didn’t it?
5. It prophesied that it would have the most pride of any nation. That happened, didn’t it?
6. It prophesied that an organization that believed in Cain would be the downfall of this nation. It describes the earmarks of that organization: handshakes, blood oaths, the ceremonial loin cloth, and the profession of Cain. THAT ORGANIZATION IS FREEMASONRY! I have copies of their materials, and every mason is obligated to employ the principles of Cain. And as one mason told me, “Don’t you know it’s alright to FLEECE the sheep!” Isn’t that contrary to what Christ told Peter THREE times, “FEED my sheep!” So, you see that Freemasonry is contrary to the way of Christ!
Albert Pike, 33 degree, who wrote “Morals and Dogma” for the Masons, stated to a world-wide conference of top Masons some years ago that Lucifer was their God!
The Baptists and most other churches that condemn the Book of Mormon are loaded with Freemasons – so is CONGRESS AND THE LEGAL AND JUDICIAL SYSTEM! These churches should be thankful for the clarity of the Book of Mormon in exposing the secret societies, for it says, concerning the organizations set up by Cain---
“For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
“Wherefore the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come upon you, that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation,because of this secret combination which shall be among you, or wo
be unto it, ---
“For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up, seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries;
“And it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil,”--.
Now here is the real kicker, the Mormon Church RELIGION IS BASED ON FREEMASONRY:
A. building of physical temples (Christ says He is the temple, and our bodies are supposed to be temples, too!),
B. two priesthoods named after men – Aaronic and Melchisidec (Book of Mormon says ONE order of ministry: Holy Order of Christ),
C. A Prophet, and other offices,
D. 3 Glories (the Mormons have added the third one, ‘telestial’, which word does not exist in the dictionary!),
E. blind obedience to next degree above, things done in secret (Christ says He did nothing in secret),
F. inequality of women (they have to be tied to a man to have the best eternal life, although the Book of Mormon says all are equal!) and many other things. (the doctrine of polygamy is directly tied to “eternal marriage” in the Mormon church.)
When the Prophet Brigham Young moved a large group of people west, the first thing they did was to apply for 3 new Masonic Lodges! And it is in their history that when Brigham saw the Salt Lake valley he exclaimed, “This is the place!” However, Christ warned against this in Matt. 24:24-26:
“For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.”
Jeremiah 17:5-6 also curses the man who would follow a man to a “salt land and not inhabited.”
I explained what happened to the Mormon church, and its splinter groups in a series of video/DVD tapes, “To All Book of Mormon Believers: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHURCH?” (See allbookofmormonbelievers.org)
Continuing on with Book of Mormon prophecies.
7. It prophesied that because of the things kept back by the Great Whore, the Gentiles would stumble and establish many churches. In 2000 A.D., there were 285 churches registered with the U.S. Government. That was true, also, wasn’t it?
8. It prophesied that some churches would say little children had to be baptized. That was/is true, also, isn’t it? (Book of Mormon is adamantly against that) Christ picked them up into his arms and blessed them, didn’t He? He did not baptize them! And, He also said, “of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
9. It prophesied the leaders of the Gentile churches had to be paid for their ministry. That’s true, isn’t it?
10. It prophesied that the leaders would say God no longer does miracles for us, and He has left it up to us. That is true, isn’t it? And yet, God is unchangeable, at least that’s what the Bible says. And I, for one, believe what it says, and I know that He does perform miracles.
11. It also says that polygamy is an abomination to God, and men are commanded to have ONLY one wife! (what’s interesting about that is the Bible doesn’t even say that!) And some of the Mormon church members still believe in polygamy, and still practice it. Also, for the record, the doctrine of polygamy was one of the last ‘revelations’ that came through Joseph Smith. He renounced it just before he died, calling it “An accursed doctrine.” When he first came up with it, he told his wife Emma that it was from God, and if she didn’t accept it that God would destroy her. He died about a year later, but she lived many years after.
Unfortunately, the works of Joseph Smith, Jr., and the Mormon church have done more to discredit the Book of Mormon than any outside group!
THE BOOK OF MORMON ALSO HAS PROPHESIED THAT A CONSPIRACY BY A SECRET ORGANIZATION(S) WOULD DESTROY AMERICA, AND IT IS HAPPENING!
12. It prophesied that when this nation is ripe, there will be economic collapse, war & destruction, and the burning of all who will not accept Jesus Christ and His way of life. The question is: is this nation ripe? Christ, in the Bible, talks of the ‘fullness of the Gentiles’. The Book of Mormon clarifies the fullness as when the Gentiles have received the fullness of the truth and have performed the fullness of iniquity.
As you study the Book of Mormon you will realize that indeed it contains the ‘fullness’ of the truth of the gospel. And what about the fullness of iniquity?
A. In what category would you put millions of babies killed by
abortion – the cup of iniquity?
B. In what category would you put the law against prayer in schools – in the cup of iniquity?
C. In what category would you put pornography, - or birth control devices in public school, or condoning illegitimacy – in the cup of iniquity?
D. And we can also add that those who wrote the U.S. Constitution said congressmen SHOULD NOT BE PAID!- hasn’t this brought iniquity to the top of our government?
E. In what category should we put starting wars in various places in the world FOR THE SAKE OF BIG OIL? (admitted by John McCain during his election campaign!)– thus killing thousands of innocent people, including our own fine young women and men: leaving behind children without a parent, who will never have one of their parents attend a school function, or see them married –DOESN’T THAT HEAP UP THE CUP OF INIQUITY?
Now, are you able to set aside prejudice and read the Book of Mormon with an open mind to see the truth and the finale? You will see WHY churches are against it: it condemns the false practices of Protestantism, Catholicism, AND Mormonism, and secret societies. You will understand in detail the Great Separation, and how to find yourself on the right side: to preserve the lives of your families and friends, and be prepared to make it through to be with Christ and a whole new society on this earth. You will see the great plan that will bring the Native Americans back into their inheritance of this land, and how you, as Gentiles, can be a part of it. I have seen parts of it in Vision and Dreams, and my friends Red Elk and Gayle have even seen more detail than I have. And years before us were the visions of President George Washington, the Iroquois prophecy of Deganawida, and others also.
