from dailywire.com: ‘The NewYork Times Proves It Hates Religious Americans With This Obituary’ - Ben Shapiro - January 4 (posted here January 5)
"Thomas Monson, the president of the Mormon church who rebuffed demands to ordain women as priests and refused to alter church opposition to same-sex marriage, died Tuesday at 90”
Ben pointed out that the NYT “had no such harsh treatment for Hugh Hefner,” or Hugh Chavez; “(s)o it’s much worse, from the Times’ perspective, to be a religious person who abides by religious dictates on female ordination and same-sex marriage than to be a sexual profligate who trafficked in pornography, or to be a socialist dictator who destroyed an entire country. Monson was obviously a monster.”
Some people in the Comments section chose to refer to the subject of Church teachings. I chose to look at another aspect of the matter.)

With the Mormon Church now faced with coming up with another president, who is considered a prophet, in the lineage of their founder, Joseph Smith, I wonder if they will finally recognize one of their Founder's prophecies, called the White Horse Prophecy. In it, Smith warned his followers, and especially those holding the priesthood, that (to paraphrase a bit) 'the day will come when the Constitution will be hanging by a thread, and the Church will come to its defense'. That 'day' has come in our time, and especially with a usurper in the White House, and not just for one day, or week, or month, or year, or term, but two whole terms; with the average U.S. citizen asleep at the switch, of their country from a constitutional republic to a tyranny; from being under the rule of law to being under the rule of men, aka arbitrary law.
I am talking about the fact that the Usurper, Barack Hussein Obama, was and is not a 'natural born' citizen, which, according to the definition of the term as understood by the constitutional Framers (for which there is considerable historical evidence), is a person "born in the country, of parents who are citizens" thereof. (That's what makes it 'natural,' for heaven's sake. This is not rocket science.) And that eligibility requirement for that particular office - and that particular federal office ONLY; attesting to its special nature in their eyes - STILL STANDS, absent a constitutional amendment to the contrary.
Why didn't the Republican Party make an issue of it? Because they wanted to run their OWN candidates through that breach in the wall of the Constitution - the law of the land. As attested to by the fact that between them, between 2003 and '08 alone, both of the major political parties of our day tried a total of 8 times to get just such an amendment starting through Congress - proposals all of which had this specific requirement as their common denominator - and they failed each time even to get their proposals out of committee, such was the sensitivity around this eligibility issue. So what did they do?? It's obvious what they did: they colluded, in an attempt to do an end-around play on both the Constitution and the American public on this matter. For which they will have to pay, under RICO statutes, when things are set to rights in this country. Which would be another reason why they are so desperate to get Trump out of that office, and one of their own in there: to protect their behinds, from having [in the end, as it were] to face justice.
Thus, we are not up against just the New World Order crowd, in what all is going on these dark days. But up against corruption itself. Not a pretty sight. And if the Mormon Church had done the job that they were called on by their founding Prophet To do, that thread wouldn't be quite as tenuous as it is at this time, under the pressure of the far Left - and said NWO mob - to try to make two wrongs make a right, in attempting to get Trump out of that office; to say, out of their way. By hook. Or by crooks.

And on the subject of Church teachings, and Christianity in particular; and in the context of the likes of priesthoods: Another thought I had had today (yesterday, now), on the subject of the founding of Christianity:
It would appear that, seeing the writing on the wall, with the likes of Titus’s military campaign in Judea, and the overwhelming might of, and imperial intention of, Rome, the Jewish general called Josephus ingratiated himself, and some fellow Jews of priestly lineage, with the Flavian (to become, with his help) imperial household;* in order to ‘live to fight another day,’ and invented the Christian religion to that end, by concocting a tale that made Titus out to be the Jewish literature’s prophesied Son of Man. And thus, the Second Coming looked forward to by Christians for a couple of millennia has already taken place, in the form of a military leader who chastised the Jews for their being such a stiff-necked and rebellious lot in not accepting the power and authority of Rome over them; the attitude hugely promoted in them because of their belief in a militaristic Messiah who would save them from their enemies. Their biggest enemies, then, being themselves, in failing to see the reality of the matter. With Josephus looking down the historical road, and seeing what he needed to do to keep alive the priestly lineage of his people.
And he did. In the form of the earliest bishops of the new Church, and, ultimately, numbering emperors amongst their lot; and the royal households of Europe to boot.
A formidable accomplishment.
-
* He asked to meet with Vespasian, the father of Titus, after nearly losing his life as a Jewish rebel, and spoke to him of his belief in the rumors of Vespasian becoming the emperor, and offering him some of the valuables from the Temple, that various Jews had secreted before the impending destruction of it by the 'prophesied' god's son, Titus; and perhaps at that time also shared something about his plan to make out Vespasian's eldest son as the prophesied Son of Man of the Jewish tradition. Whatever the specific facts of that meeting, it saved Josephus's life. And the priestly lineage of the Jews, from disappearing into the mists of time.
And becoming the myths of our time.

Little could Josephus have known that others would pick up on the lineage thing, and set off on their own tangent, from what he set into motion, lo, those two thousand years ago.
But then, I could be wrong. About both Josephus. (And how there is considerable evidence to attest to the fact that he was Saul become Paul, his alter ego; writing himself into his tale.) And about the Mormon Church, being an apocryphal outshoot of the original fraud.
I don't think so.
But then, who am I.
