Zion and Jerusalem,

Yea, wo unto this people, because of this time
which has arrived, that ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast
stones at them, and do slay them, and do all manner of iniquity unto them, even
as they did of old time.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:24)
Mormons
are NOT Christian said to me in response to my answer to him:
You're mentally unstable, looking for attention and harrassing people. Here's my voice of warning; stop harassing people, or you'll be reported.
And I Miguel Angel kindly Replied to him:
O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things
against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken
the words of your Maker.
(Book of Mormon
| 2 Nephi 9:40)
Go
ahead, report me, make my day. You will not be the first or the last. It is
within the territory of my profession to be called names, to receive insults
and to be mocked, cast out and shut off. And I endure it patiently, for I believe in
the admonition of Paul. Yea, I do not know about you, but me and my faitful brethren,
we believe in being hones, true, chaste,
benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men. Indeed, we may say that we
follow the admonition of Paul. That is, we believe in all things, we hope all
things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things
if there is anything virtuous, praiseworthy and of good report. We seek after these things. And I personally glory
in Christ and take pleasure in our infirmities, in our persecutions, in reproaches,
in necessities, in weaknesses, for when I am weak, the power of God rests upon me and I am
string. You have grieved my soul, when
all I did was to do my duty to you and to GOD. To preach repentance is an act of mercy and
not what you filthy dreamers think. Bu
let the LORD judge between me and you and let him reward you for your good,
works, as far as I am concerned, I have nothing personal against you. I have given you my undivided time and
attention. I have sanctified the LORD and I have answered your questions. I
have been quick to give you an answer of the reason of the hope that is in me,
in meekness and in fear before the LOD. And
in the due time he will turn it to your everlasting shame. For I have spoken to
you in good conscience and in good conversation in Christ.
Here
is the law and the testimony:
We believe in being
honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men;
indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things,
we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure
all things. If there is anything
virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these
things.
(Pearl of Great Price
| Articles of
Faith 1:13)
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong.
(New Testament
| 2 Corinthians 12:10)
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear: Having
a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
For it is
better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil
doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened
by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the
days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls
were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand
of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
(New
Testament | 1 Peter 3:15 - 22)
I
told you already, like the Christ did, go ahead and tell that fox that I will
preach the gospel today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Did’t you notice
it?
The
very same thing you said of me was said of Christ and the prophets. Do you feel
offended or threatened by the word of GOD, you should, for it is not mine but
the LORD’s warning voice in this generation. You know I speak the truth with
force and verb, and you are giving blind eyes to his words. Have you forgotten
that words of Nephi, Enoch and Samuel
the Lamanite? Is not this a testimony in your very own eyes that the word is
good and that all truth pieces the wicked soul for they find it hard or Harsh?
? You know it is true because you have
confessed that I am harassing you or other people. And that you hate it.
This
is what Enoch and Samuel the Lamanite recorded for your further enjoyment if it
is that you are not shaken.
O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things
against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken
the words of your Maker. I know that the
words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them
not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:40)
And it came to pass that I said unto them that I
knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth;
and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up
at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it
cutteth them to the very center.
And now my brethren, if ye were righteous and were
willing to hearken to the truth, and give heed unto it, that ye might walk
uprightly before God, then ye would not murmur because of the truth, and say:
Thou speakest hard things against us.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 16:2 - 3)
And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my
prayers for the gain of my people. And
the words which I have written in weakness will be made strong unto them; for
it persuadeth them to do good; it maketh known unto them of their fathers; and
it speaketh of Jesus, and persuadeth them to believe in him, and to endure to
the end, which is life eternal. And it speaketh harshly against sin, according
to the plainness of the truth; wherefore, no man will be angry at the words
which I have written save he shall be of the spirit of the devil.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 33:4 - 5)
And the Lord spake unto Enoch, and said unto him:
Anoint thine eyes with clay, and wash them, and thou shalt see. And he did so. And he beheld the spirits that
God had created; and he beheld also things which were not visible to the
natural eye; and from thenceforth came the saying abroad in the land: A seer
hath the Lord raised up unto his people. And it came to pass that Enoch went
forth in the land, among the people, standing upon the hills and the high
places, and cried with a loud voice, testifying against their works; and all
men were offended because of him. And they came forth to hear him, upon the
high places, saying unto the tent–keepers: Tarry ye here and keep the tents,
while we go yonder to behold the seer, for he prophesieth, and there is a
strange thing in the land; a wild man hath come among us.
And it came to pass
when they heard him, no man laid hands on him; for fear came on all them that
heard him; for he walked with God.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:35 - 39)
Behold ye, the people of this great city, and
hearken unto my words; yea, hearken unto the words which the Lord saith; for
behold, he saith that ye are cursed because of your riches, and also are your
riches cursed because ye have set your hearts upon them, and have not hearkened
unto the words of him who gave them unto you. Ye do not remember the Lord your
God in the things with which he hath blessed you, but ye do always remember
your riches, not to thank the Lord your God for them; yea, your hearts are not
drawn out unto the Lord, but they do swell with great pride, unto boasting, and
unto great swelling, envyings, strifes, malice, persecutions, and murders, and
all manner of iniquities.
For this cause hath the Lord God caused that a
curse should come upon the land, and also upon your riches, and this because of
your iniquities.
Yea, wo unto this people, because of this time
which has arrived, that ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast
stones at them, and do slay them, and do all manner of iniquity unto them, even
as they did of old time.
And now when ye talk, ye say: If our days had been
in the days of our fathers of old, we would not have slain the prophets; we
would not have stoned them, and cast them out. Behold ye are worse than they;
for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the
word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry
with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you
will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil,
because he testifieth that your deeds are evil.
But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall
say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea,
he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride
of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come
among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet. Yea,
ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give
unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly
apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that
all is well, then ye will not find fault with him.
O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened
and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer
you? Yea, how long will ye suffer
yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather
than light?
Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already
kindled against you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity. And
behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery,
that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain
them. And in the days of your poverty ye shall cry unto the Lord; and in vain
shall ye cry, for your desolation is already come upon you, and your
destruction is made sure; and then shall ye weep and howl in that day, saith
the Lord of Hosts. And then shall ye lament,
and say:
O that I had repented, and had not killed the
prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out.
Yea, in that day ye shall say: O that we had remembered the Lord our God
in the day that he gave us our riches, and then they would not have become
slippery that we should lose them; for behold, our riches are gone from us. Behold,
we lay a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; and behold, our swords are
taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle. Yea, we have hid up
our treasures and they have slipped away from us, because of the curse of the
land.
O that we had repented in the day that the word of
the Lord came unto us; for behold the land is cursed, and all things are become
slippery, and we cannot hold them. Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we
are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our
souls. Behold, our iniquities are
great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away
thine anger from us? And this shall be
your language in those days.
But behold, your days of probation are past; ye
have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too
late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days
of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for
happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that
righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.
O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my
words! And I pray that the anger of the
Lord be turned away from you, and that ye would repent and be saved.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:21 - 39)
For
what I seal on earth, shall be brought against you at the judgment bar; for
thus hath the Lord commanded me, and I must obey. Amen.
(Book of Mormon
| 2 Nephi 33:15)
Time
and again, I testify that I have spoken the truth as it is, as it was and as it
is to come. And I now seal the law and testimony
among the LORD’s deciples even like Nephi of OLD saying that these things that
I have written shall be brought against you at the judgment bar, for thus has
the LORD commanded me and I must obey in the sacred name of Jesus, Christ,
amen.
Yours
truly from an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ
