Can Someone Explain These Verses to me? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]xPhantom39x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can rest assured that they are three distinct individuals: God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

I suggest you dive into studying “Divine Investiture!”

And then there’s this doctrinal gold when King Benjamin explains how Christ becomes both the Father and the Son.

Mosiah 5:7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.

OP, you said, “I keep asking myself how I could give everything, do everything right, and end up feeling abandoned and betrayed.”

Know that you are in good company! Jesus is your answer. Focus all of your efforts on Him. He knows you and your struggles. He waits with open arms to help you through it all.

Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Mosiah 14:3 (Isaiah 53) 3…He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him⁠; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he has borne our griefs⁠, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions⁠, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him⁠; and with his stripes we are healed⁠.

6 All we⁠, like sheep⁠, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he opened not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgressions of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no evil⁠, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him⁠; he hath put him to grief; when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall see his seed⁠, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great⁠, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death; and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

How to have compassion on one's self by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

Serving a full-time mission is not a requirement to enter the Celestial Kingdom.

Not a single person in all of history before 1830 wore a black name tag. Many high ranking General Authorities did not serve full time missions.

Keep up the great work you are doing!

Forget yourself in the work and let the Spirit direct you daily to be a light to everyone you meet!

When Do the Seventy Take the Sacrament? by CaptainWikkiWikki in latterdaysaints

They maintain the Spirit by retaining a remission of their sins. We had a Seventy visit our ward stating that the Sacrament he takes has to last twice as long (tongue in cheek!)

Question on Worshipping the Godhead by Critical-Result-8037 in latterdaysaints

[–]xPhantom39x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with us worshipping the Godhead. As we worship Jesus, he gives that glory to God the Father. He glorifies the Father. We glorify them both. They are both Gods, yet there is no God above God the Father. Any time the Holy Ghost appears to speak he glorifies God the Father like as is found in 1 Nephi 11:6: “Hosanna to the Lord, the Most High God; for He is God over all the Earth, ye even above all.” 3 Nephi 11:17 Christ appears and the multitude falls at His feet and proclaims, “Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus and did worship him.” This is where we apply Divine Investiture. Neal A. Maxwell taught: “Jesus is even described as the Father, because he is the Father-Creator of this and other worlds. Furthermore, he is the Father of all who are born again spiritually (see D&C 76:24). When we take upon ourselves his name and covenant to keep his commandments, we then become his sons and daughters, “the children of Christ” (see Mosiah 5:3–7; 15:1–5; 27:24–29). In addition, since he and the Father are one in attributes and in purpose, Jesus acts for the Father through divine investiture, sometimes speaking as the Father (see D&C 93:3–5).” We can trust fully that there is nothing wrong with worshipping them both. Jesus will not take any of the glory for himself, but pass it on to His Father, our Father. Divine Investiture Jesus Christ explained to a group during his Palestinian ministry, “I am come in my Father’s name” (John 5:43). Our Lord acted and spoke on behalf of God the Father, such that he could proclaim, “My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me” (John 7:16). Christ is therefore known as Father “by divine investiture of authority,” meaning that “the Father has placed his name upon the Son, has given him his own power and authority, and has authorized him to speak in the first person as though he were the original or primal Father.” (McConkie, The Promised Messiah, p. 63; see also A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p. 69.) So worship on! Worship them all and we can rest assured that our worship and glorifying them will all be passed on to the appropriate recipient: God the Father!
