So wheres the missing half hour?
Rev. 10: 4
I am sorry but I don’t get what you are saying here. I think you and I have a VERY different idea of the meaning of John’s Revelation. where in your revelations scriptures does it say God can’t reveal it himself? please read Hebrews 1 for why he doesn’t need to call prophets anymore. Your Amos scripture was BEFORE Christ. He changed the whole world from the old covenant to the new one.
If God does not need to call prophets anymore then whay did there contiue to be prophets in the Church? And who are the two prophets who die and are ressurected just prior to the second coming?
Where in the NT Church was there a Church president with 2 counselors? Where in the NT Church was there only one prophet? There were many prophets, some were even women. The modern LDS verision of a prophet did not exist in the New Testament. How can you accuse us of not being consistent with the early Church when neither are you? Where in the NT Church do we find deacons at 12, teachers at 14, and priests at 16? This whole claim is just silly.
did you read that…“PROPHETS” Oops…the NT has many prophets yet you have only one. Guess you’re not the true church.If God does not need to call prophets anymore then whay did there contiue to be prophets in the Church? And who are the two prophets who die and are ressurected just prior to the second coming?
1 Cor. 14: 29
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the esaints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under dobedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in aorder.
Rev. 11: 10
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Heck perhpas you should remove the book of Revelation from your bible. It was written after Christ came!
Give it time several non-LDS Scientists have been called in for peer review.
Why did Peter James and John hang out together so much? At one point in the Bible we can count 15 Aposltes. Hmm that kind of Looks LDS to me. 3 at the top over the 12. Then theres the whole deal of the seventies. Even Moses had the same church setup. What do you think the Sanhedran was? You hear all over the OT of the Seventy Elders. As well as the 12. The orginization of the Chruch has been the same since the dawn of time. That is until the Catholic church got a hold of it.
It’s not a missing half hour, but is silence, as a prelude to the coming of the Lord (cf. Zeph 1:7).
Did you read my last post… all the 12 are susstained as prophet seers and revelators so are all the memebers. The Prophet… is the president of the church. the head of the body of prophets.
Yes that it is but its held as silence so no body can calculate the hour.
Calling someone an apostle doesn’t make them one. The apostles were chosen from those who had seen the risen Lord. Are you saying that the LDS apostles have all seen the resurrected Christ? There is no mention of “First Presidency”, the seventies, apostles that had not seen Christ, anywhere in the writings of the early church. Do you honestly believe that all of this just vanished within a few years with nary a trace? Now THAT’S impossible.
15? Please expand on this. Where in the Bible does it mention that there where 15 Apostles at ONE TIME?
The sanhedrin was composed of 71 members not 70. If you want to check it out go to this. Plus, they were the ones who went against Jesus. They were the ones who had Him crucified. Is that how your First Presidency and the council of the 70 modeled. I don’t think so. I just think it is a bad way to use the Bible as a reference for the setup of your organization.
Even if it was not silent, nobody could calculate the hour. Any attempt at Bible math in this sense is folly. The silence is simply a prelude to the coming of the Lord. One need not calculate anything. The Holy Spirit did not come to guide us to become mathematicians, but Christians.
We can come pretty close.
