April 27, 2008 Article

A good book of Scripture to learn all about heresies and their effect on the early church would be 1 John and the book of Jude. Therein we find these two Apostles addressing the problem of heresies and heretics as their abominable theologies are spouted forth. You see, this is at least two generations into the Christian life as well as the church. New philosophies and theologies are coming to the forefront to replace the Gospel and these are disrupting the church. We should not be surprised though because in the year 1831, we find a revelation which addresses these very same things in the early Restoration. D&C 50:2a "Hearken, O ye elders of my church, and give ear to the voice of the living God; and attend to the words of wisdom which shall be given unto you, according as ye have asked and are agreed as touching the church, and the spirits which have gone abroad in the earth. Behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many spirits which are false spirits, which have gone forth in the earth, deceiving the world: and also Satan hath: sought to deceive you, that he might overthrow you. Behold, I the lord have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that professes my name; but blessed are they who are faithful and endure, whether in life or in death, for they shall inherit eternal life." Heresies as well as heretics were present then and they are still present in the church today.



March 23, 2008 - Mount Moriah Article

This name occurs twice in the Bible. In Gen 22:2 Abraham was commanded to go to the land of Moriah and offer his son as a burnt offering. The only note of location in the text is that the place was three days distance from Beersheba. The other Biblical reference is 2 Chron 3:1, which names the site of the building of Solomon's temple as Mount Moriah. Christian tradition has related both references to the site of the Dome of the Rock mosque, where there is a huge rock 17.7 by 15.m. (58 by 51 ft.), called the Sacred Rock. The rock appears as though it may have been used for sacrifices in ancient times. There are channels cut into it, and there is a large room cut out of the rock beneath. (Beersheba to Jerusalem is about 50 miles distance.)
