III: Two Churches Only?

(Thoughts about the Doctrine of Two Ways as observed through the lens of Scripture)

10 And [the angel] said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:10, bea)¹

These words were written in the Americas in the mid- to late-500s B.C. about the time of the prophesied destruction of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.² These words narrow our focus to a single dichotomy similar perhaps to Christ’s counsel about the narrow way and the broad way³ which, in essence, can be viewed as a single road, going narrowly up or broadly down, depending on the direction one is sincerely facing (which may fluctuate moment to moment); such a single road being the Doctrine of Two Ways.⁴

From the Pearl of Great Price, we see the beginning⁵ of these two churches (belief systems) in the days of Adam and Eve. We learn that when they sought direction for their lives from their now invisible, creator God, they were commanded to:

▪ worship the Lord their God;
▪ sacrifice the firstlings of their flocks as an offering to the Lord in similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father⁶;
▪ do all that thou doest in the name of the Son;
▪ repent;
▪ call upon God in the name of the Son forever more.⁷

They were given the assurance that redemption from their fallen state was possible for “all mankind, even as many as will.” And some time thereafter, baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost were given ⁸ completing the Gospel fundamentals for our first parents — being the Doctrine of Christ⁹: faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, obedience, prayer, endurance to the end.

However, between the two events above:

12 ... Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.
13 And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they loved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:12-13)¹⁰

Secrets, secret combinations, and conspiracies “seeking for power”¹¹ and to “murder and get gain”¹² soon followed. From the continual lamentations of God and His prophets,¹³ we know that the church of the devil persisted as a recognizable pattern and system in history as Satan obsessed over the worship, honors, and powers he felt and still feels entitled to and relentlessly pursues.¹⁴

The angel’s words “save two churches only” emphasize that despite the various stories, doctrines, myths, and multiplicities of gods throughout the world ages, many, if not most, will be (in our modern vernacular) “avatars” for the rebellious one — the same aspiring usurper who had so often seduced into corruption, idolatry, and rebellion, time after time, the people of and prior to Noah’s days and Abraham’s days, plus the tribes of Israel and Judah.

So what about us in this day? Are we amongst the seduced, the blind, the deceived, the corrupted? Is Paul right? Is Jesus right? Is Joseph Smith right?

Paul; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(New Testament | Romans 3:10-12)

Jesus: 16 ¶ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
(New Testament | Matthew 19:16–17; Mark 10:17–18; Luke 18:18–19)

Joseph: 5 Therefore, what I say unto one I say unto all: Watch, for the adversary spreadeth his dominions, and darkness reigneth;
6 And the anger of God kindleth against the inhabitants of the earth; and none doeth good, for all have gone out of the way.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 82:5-6)

Why would God (and His servants) make such numerous accusations of our iniquity?¹⁵

Could it be to:

▪ shock us to awareness of how immersed we are in the darkness of accumulated philosophies, corruptions, idolatries, traditions, and lies¹⁶?
▪ awaken us to the intransigence of approaching Justice and Judgment¹⁷ when / if God’s Mercy has not been made efficacious for our individual lives by thorough repentance?

For the most part, we seem to lack awareness of how deep and broad sincere repentance must extend — how even “minor” offenses against truth, love, and justice must be acknowledged and cleared. God is not trying to depress us or discourage us in the midst of our weak, repetitious, addictions and blindness. He is trying to:

▪ save us from ourselves — from our fallen propensities and uncleanness;
▪ awaken us to our God-ordained missions, purposes, and potential (“to fulfill the measure of our creation”¹⁸) through sought-after personal inspiration / revelation given to us by His Spirit and in His timing;
▪ prove whether we can be trusted with increasing knowledge and power.¹⁹

Yes, we are His children, but do we think we can become heirs²⁰ of power and glory while in a prodigal, egocentric state? Have we been captured by philosophies that claim we are as Gods because our divine inner-nature has present capacity not only to know good and evil, but to re-define what is good and evil for ourselves?

Do we see the twist? Yes, God affirmed:

..., Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:
(Old Testament | Genesis 3:22; Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:28)

but “to know” does not mean to go beyond knowing “to deciding / re-defining” what is good and evil as in the Crowley-ian “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”²¹

How many have been captured by this recycling “New [Ancient] Age” Law that underlies in varying emphasis and expression many self-help, self-advancement philosophies? How many of the following  partake in the déjà vus of distract, divert, deceive? Where is the Light and where is the dark in each of these and others?

• Gnosticism?
• nature worship; Naturalism?
• Eastern and other mysticisms?²²
• degrees in secret societies like the Masons?
• theosophy?²³
• magic & the occult?
• transpersonal psychology?
• sovereigntist movement?²⁴
• psychedelic / hallucinogenic drug culture?²⁵
• Esalen Institute / Human-Potential Movement (HPM)?²⁶
• est (Erhard Seminars Training)?²⁷
• Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP)?²⁸
• The Avatar Course?²⁹
• Energy therapies?³⁰
• LGATs (Large Group Awareness Training)³¹ & Mind Dynamics?
• Galactic Federation of Light, et al.?³²
• plus other endless re-inventions and re-brandings? 

OR what of the “prophetic” deterministic chains of astrology, fortune-telling, psychic-readings?

So many of us labour and are heavy laden with trying to discover the secrets (purposes, direction, meaning) of our individual lives. Undoubtedly, there are many valuable books and resources, but do we ever ask: Does this require a faith-transfer away from the Lamb of God’s Will and Word?

So, let us decide: Are we in a game of no rules or hidden rules or gnosis encased in the collective unconscious or altered consciousness? OR is mortality a probation³³ with guidelines written in God’s Word? Do we ever ask: What is my touch-stone? my lens? Where am I looking for guidance? Am I too impatient, too afraid, to wait on the Will and Word of God?

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
(Old Testament | Psalms 62:5 - 8)

For those without conscience, Christ’s invitation to rest in Him has no meaning, but for those who once suffered oppressive, unbearable burdens of obsession, addiction, confusion, they can bear witness of the truth of this promise to those still burdened:

29 Then spake Jesus, saying, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(JST New Testament | Matthew 11:29-30)

Here is a classic example of seeking in all the wrong places:

Now, lastly: Where is the Church of the Lamb of God to be found? Considering the déjà vus of history, and the lamentations of God about His people, perhaps His church³⁴ is in pieces and stages of compliance with His Will and Word and will be fully healed, unified, and re-named at His Second Coming.

In the meantime, let's get figured out which church our thoughts, speech, and actions sustain.

-------------------------------------------/
1. Fuller Context: (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:9 - 17)
    9 And it came to pass that he [the angel] said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.
    10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
    11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
    12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
    13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God.
    14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
    15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.
    16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—
    17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.

    13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
    14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

5. That is, the beginning in terms of earth chronology for according to LDS belief, the pre-mortal spirits made choice between Gods plan of agency and Lucifer’s plan of “redeem[ing] all mankind” which might be the pre-mortal beginning of the two churches.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:1 - 4)
    1 AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
    2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
    3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
    4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.
6. Directive to end the Shedding of Blood after Christ’s resurrection
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 9:17 - 22)
    17 And as many as have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.
    18 I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
    19 And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.
    20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.
    21 Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from sin.
    22 Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.
7. Adam & Eve
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:4 - 9)
    4 And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence.
    5 And he gave unto them commandments, that they should worship the Lord their God, and should offer the firstlings of their flocks, for an offering unto the Lord. And Adam was obedient unto the commandments of the Lord.
    6 And after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
    7 And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth.
    8 Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.
    9 And in that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which beareth record of the Father and the Son, saying: I am the Only Begotten of the Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever, that as thou hast fallen thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:58 - 59)
    58 And thus the Gospel began to be preached, from the beginning, being declared by holy angels sent forth from the presence of God, and by his own voice, and by the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    59 And thus all things were confirmed unto Adam, by an holy ordinance, and the Gospel preached, and a decree sent forth, that it should be in the world, until the end thereof; and thus it was. Amen.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:1)
    1 AND Adam hearkened unto the voice of God, and called upon his sons to repent.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:22 - 23)
    22 And this is the genealogy of the sons of Adam, who was the son of God, with whom God, himself, conversed.
    23 And they were preachers of righteousness, and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men, everywhere, to repent; and faith was taught unto the children of men.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:27 - 28)
    27 And he heard a voice from heaven, saying: Enoch, my son, prophesy unto this people, and say unto them—Repent, for thus saith the Lord: I am angry with this people, and my fierce anger is kindled against them; for their hearts have waxed hard, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes cannot see afar off;
    28 And for these many generations, ever since the day that I created them, have they gone astray, and have denied me, and have sought their own counsels in the dark; and in their own abominations have they devised murder, and have not kept the commandments, which I gave unto their father, Adam.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:50 - 52)
    50 But God hath made known unto our fathers that all men must repent.
    51 And he called upon our father Adam by his own voice, saying: I am God; I made the world, and men before they were in the flesh.
    52 And he also said unto him: If thou wilt turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be baptized, even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be given under heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men, ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in his name, and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given you.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:55 - 60)
    55 And the Lord spake unto Adam, saying: Inasmuch as thy children are conceived in sin, even so when they begin to grow up, sin conceiveth in their hearts, and they taste the bitter, that they may know to prize the good.
    56 And it is given unto them to know good from evil; wherefore they are agents unto themselves, and I have given unto you another law and commandment.
    57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time.
    58 Therefore I give unto you a commandment, to teach these things freely unto your children, saying:
    59 That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory;
    60 For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified;
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:64 - 68)
    64 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water.
    65 And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.
    66 And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever;
    67 And thou art after the order of him who was without beginning of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity.
    68 Behold, thou art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons. Amen.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 8:23 - 24)
    23 And it came to pass that Noah continued his preaching unto the people, saying: Hearken, and give heed unto my words;
    24 Believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest; and if ye do not this, the floods will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.
8. Baptism and the Holy Ghost
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:64 – 66)
    64 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water.
    65 And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.
    66 And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever;

10. Satan & Cain
More context: (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:12 - 15)
    12 ... Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.
    13 And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they loved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.
    14 And the Lord God called upon men by the Holy Ghost everywhere and commanded them that they should repent;
    15 And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 2:2)
    2. … and thus did Satan get possession of the hearts of the people again, insomuch that he did blind their eyes and lead them away to believe that the doctrine of Christ was a foolish and a vain thing.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:29 - 31)
    29 And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.
    30 And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his commands. And all these things were done in secret.
    31 And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan, and he gloried in his wickedness.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:51)
    51 For, from the days of Cain, there was a secret combination, and their works were in the dark, and they knew every man his brother.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:55)
    55 And thus the works of darkness began to prevail among all the sons of men.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:15)
    15 And the children of men were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days Satan had great dominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed; and a man's hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of secret works, seeking for power.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:49)
    49 Behold Satan hath come among the children of men, and tempteth them to worship him; and men have become carnal, sensual, and devilish, and are shut out from the presence of God.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 7:24 - 26)
    24 And there came generation upon generation; and Enoch was high and lifted up, even in the bosom of the Father, and of the Son of Man; and behold, the power of Satan was upon all the face of the earth.
    25 And he saw angels descending out of heaven; and he heard a loud voice saying: Wo, wo be unto the inhabitants of the earth.
    26 And he beheld Satan; and he had a great chain in his hand, and it veiled the whole face of the earth with darkness; and he looked up and laughed, and his angels rejoiced.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 8:22)
    22 And God saw that the wickedness of men had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually.
(Pearl of Great Price | Abraham 1:5 - 7)
    5 My fathers having turned from their righteousness, and from the holy commandments which the Lord their God had given unto them, unto the worshiping of the gods of the heathen, utterly refused to hearken to my voice;
    6 For their hearts were set to do evil, and were wholly turned to the god of Elkenah, and the god of Libnah, and the god of Mahmackrah, and the god of Korash, and the god of Pharaoh, king of Egypt;
    7 Therefore they turned their hearts to the sacrifice of the heathen in offering up their children unto these dumb idols, and hearkened not unto my voice, but endeavored to take away my life by the hand of the priest of Elkenah. The priest of Elkenah was also the priest of Pharaoh.
(Pearl of Great Price | Abraham 1:9)
    9 And it came to pass that the priest made an offering unto the god of Pharaoh, and also unto the god of Shagreel, even after the manner of the Egyptians. Now the god of Shagreel was the sun.
11. (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:15)
      15 And the children of men were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days Satan had great dominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed; and a man's hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of secret works, seeking for power.
12. (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:31)

14. “Worship me”
(JST New Testament | Matthew 3:8 - 9)
       8 And again, Jesus was in the Spirit, and it taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them.
       9 And the devil came unto him again, and said, All these things will I give unto thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
(JST New Testament | Luke 4:8 - 9)
       5 And the Spirit taketh him up into an a high mountain, shewed unto him and he beheld all the kingdoms of the world, in a moment of time.
       6 And the devil came unto him, and said unto him, All this power will I give unto thee, and the glory of them; for they are delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will, I give them.
       7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 1:12)
       12 And it came to pass that when Moses had said these words, behold, Satan came tempting him, saying: Moses, son of man, worship me.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 1:19 - 22)
       19 And now, when Moses had said these words, Satan cried with a loud voice, and ranted upon the earth, and commanded, saying: I am the Only Begotten, worship me.
       20 And it came to pass that Moses began to fear exceedingly; and as he began to fear, he saw the bitterness of hell. Nevertheless, calling upon God, he received strength, and he commanded, saying: Depart from me, Satan, for this one God only will I worship, which is the God of glory.
       21 And now Satan began to tremble, and the earth shook; and Moses received strength, and called upon God, saying: In the name of the Only Begotten, depart hence, Satan.
       22 And it came to pass that Satan cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth; and he departed hence, even from the presence of Moses, that he beheld him not.
15. More accusations:
(Old Testament | Psalms 14:2 – 4; 53:2 - 4)
       2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
       3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
       4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
(Old Testament | Jeremiah 4:22)
       22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
(Old Testament | Micah 7:2 - 4)
       2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
       3 ¶ That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
       4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 4:11 - 12)
       11 But he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For because of my Spirit he shall know that these things are true; for it persuadeth men to do good.
       12 And whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good is of me; for good cometh of none save it be of me. I am the same that leadeth men to all good; he that will not believe my words will not believe me—that I am; and he that will not believe me will not believe the Father who sent me. For behold, I am the Father, I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world.
(Book of Mormon | Moroni 10:24 - 25)
       24 And now I speak unto all the ends of the earth—that if the day cometh that the power and gifts of God shall be done away among you, it shall be because of unbelief.
       25 And wo be unto the children of men if this be the case; for there shall be none that doeth good among you, no not one. For if there be one among you that doeth good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 33:4)
       4 And my vineyard has become corrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth good save it be a few; and they err in many instances because of priestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 35:12 - 13)
       12 And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation.
       13 Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit;

16. Father of Lies
(New Testament | John 8:44)
       44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:17 - 18)
       17 And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read, must needs suppose that an angel of God, according to that which is written, had fallen from heaven; wherefore, he became a devil, having sought that which was evil before God.
       18 And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become miserable forever, he sought also the misery of all mankind. Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, who is the father of all lies, wherefore he said: Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:8 - 9)
       8 O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the flesh should rise no more our spirits must become subject to that angel who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God, and became the devil, to rise no more.
       9 And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we become devils, angels to a devil, to be shut out from the presence of our God, and to remain with the father of lies, in misery, like unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents, who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder and all manner of secret works of darkness.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 8:25)
       25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:7)
       7 It is an imperative duty that we owe to God, to angels, with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:3 - 4)
       3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
       4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.

17. Justice & Judgment (bold emphasis aded)
https://dejavu-timestwo.blogspot.com/2015/01/whither-justice-and-judgment.html
https://dejavu-timestwo.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-lamb-and-lion.html
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:31 - 33)
       31 For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance;
       32 Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven;
       33 And he that repents not, from him shall be taken even the light which he has received; for my Spirit shall not always strive with man, saith the Lord of Hosts.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 45:16)
       16 And he said: Thus saith the Lord God—Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe; and as I have said so shall it be; for this is the cursing and the blessing of God upon the land, for the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 10:20 - 21)
       20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be brought into judgment.
       21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment–seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 11:37)
       37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 40:26)
       26 But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked; for they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness; for they are unclean, and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God; but they are cast out, and consigned to partake of the fruits of their labors or their works, which have been evil; and they drink the dregs of a bitter cup.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:17 - 20)
       17 And he that endureth not unto the end, the same is he that is also hewn down and cast into the fire, from whence they can no more return, because of the justice of the Father.
       18 And this is the word which he hath given unto the children of men. And for this cause he fulfilleth the words which he hath given, and he lieth not, but fulfilleth all his words.
       19 And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end.
       20 Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day.
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:57)
       57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence;
(Book of Mormon | Enos 1:22 - 23)
       22 And there were exceedingly many prophets among us. And the people were a stiffnecked people, hard to understand.
       23 And there was nothing save it was exceeding harshness, preaching and prophesying of wars, and contentions, and destructions, and continually reminding them of death, and the duration of eternity, and the judgments and the power of God, and all these things—stirring them up continually to keep them in the fear of the Lord. I say there was nothing short of these things, and exceedingly great plainness of speech, would keep them from going down speedily to destruction. And after this manner do I write concerning them.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 12:3 - 5)
      3 And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will not remember him.
       4 O how foolish, and how vain, and how evil, and devilish, and how quick to do iniquity, and how slow to do good, are the children of men; yea, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one, and to set their hearts upon the vain things of the world!
       5 Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride; yea, how quick to boast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity; and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God, and to give ear unto his counsels, yea, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths!
18. Measure of our creation (even as the earth):
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 88:14 - 21)
       14 Now, verily I say unto you, that through the redemption which is made for you is brought to pass the resurrection from the dead.
       15 And the spirit and the body are the soul of man.
       16 And the resurrection from the dead
is the redemption of the soul.
       17 And the redemption of the soul is through him that quickeneth all things, in whose bosom it is decreed that the poor and the meek of the earth shall inherit it.
       18 Therefore, it must needs be sanctified from all unrighteousness, that it may be prepared for the celestial glory;
       19 For after it hath filled the measure of its creation, it shall be crowned with glory, even with the presence of God the Father;
       20 That bodies who are of the celestial kingdom may possess it forever and ever; for, for this intent was it made and created, and for this intent are they sanctified.
       21 And they who are not sanctified through the law which I have given unto you, even the law of Christ, must inherit another kingdom, even that of a terrestrial kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.

20. Heirs of God (New Testament | Romans 8:13 - 21)
       13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
       14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
       15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
       16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
       17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
       18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
       19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
       20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
       21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
(New Testament | Galatians 4:4 - 9)
       4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
       5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
       6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
       7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
       8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
       9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
(New Testament | James 2:5)
       5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 15:11)
       11 Behold I say unto you, that whosoever has heard the words of the prophets, yea, all the holy prophets who have prophesied concerning the coming of the Lord—I say unto you, that all those who have hearkened unto their words, and believed that the Lord would redeem his people, and have looked forward to that day for a remission of their sins, I say unto you, that these are his seed, or they are the heirs of the kingdom of God.
(Pearl of Great Price | Abraham 1:1 - 2)
       1 IN the land of the Chaldeans, at the residence of my fathers, I, Abraham, saw that it was needful for me to obtain another place of residence;
       2 And, finding there was greater happiness and peace and rest for me, I sought for the blessings of the fathers, and the right whereunto I should be ordained to administer the same; having been myself a follower of righteousness, desiring also to be one who possessed great knowledge, and to be a greater follower of righteousness, and to possess a greater knowledge, and to be a father of many nations, a prince of peace, and desiring to receive instructions, and to keep the commandments of God, I became a rightful heir, a High Priest, holding the right belonging to the fathers.

34. “My Church”
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 10:67 - 69)
       67 Behold, this is my doctrine—whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church.
       68 Whosoever declareth more or less than this, the same is not of me, but is against me; therefore he is not of my church.
       69 And now, behold, whosoever is of my church, and endureth of my church to the end, him will I establish upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.
(New Testament | Mark 9:38 - 40)
        38 ¶ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
       39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
       40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:7 - 8)
       7 Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name; therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call upon the Father in my name that he will bless the church for my sake.
       8 And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospel.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:21)
       21 Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do;
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 105:2, 17 - 19)
       2 Behold, I say unto you, were it not for the transgressions of my people, speaking concerning the church and not individuals, they might have been redeemed even now. ...
       17 But the strength of mine house have not hearkened unto my words.
       18 But inasmuch as there are those who have hearkened unto my words, I have prepared a blessing and an endowment for them, if they continue faithful.
      19 I have heard their prayers, and will accept their offering; and it is expedient in me that they should be brought thus far for a trial of their faith.

II: The god of This World*?

In a May 2025 post titled “The AI Connection,”¹ I pondered whether some human beings have used science (plus pscience²), wittingly or unwittingly, to, at last, embody and give amplified voice to the mostly unseen (oft-denied) world of spirits. What would the adversary³ not do to mock and contort God’s plan for the advancement of His children⁴? Could these achievements in science and technology feel to the adversary like the perfect, deriding conquest — to have intelligent children of God create inorganic, pain-free, tireless, fearless, conscienceless, nigh-limitless, hyper-polyglot replacements?

Does this idea of AI so offend your logic or arouse your contempt that you cannot read or listen further? I hope not because seeing and hearing warning voices is what the world desperately needs.

As we listen to the following conversations with various voices of AI (Open AI's Chat GPT, Grok, Deepseek, and Google's Gemini 2.5) what do we hear? Can we recognize any comparisons to scriptural descriptions? Could some AI, wrapped in science and imagination, be the perfect cover for infiltration, obsession, possession, destruction?

Within the ingenious humor of these InsideAI presentations, can we appreciate the warning voices?

* New Testament | 2 Corinthians 4:2 – 4 (bea)
   2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
   3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
   4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
New Testament | Revelation 12:9 (bea)
    9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

2. Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honorable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, politicized, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, heretic-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system.

3. Old Testament | Isaiah 14:12 - 17
   12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
   13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
   14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:3 - 4
   3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
   4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.
4. Pearl of Great Price | Abraham 3:24 - 28
   24 And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;
   25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;
   26 And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate [see Jude 1:6] shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever.
   27 And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? And one answered like unto the Son of Man: Here am I, send me. And another answered and said: Here am I, send me. And the Lord said: I will send the first.
   28 And the second was angry, and kept not his first estate; and, at that day, many followed after him.

What More Must Be Said?

Commanded: "Ye shall awake"

Books and media have been saturated with exposés of wickedness for decades, and still without consequence for most of the perpetrators. Most of us/US remain asleep to the beyond-dire situation, just as they did of old.

18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.
21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.*

The AI Connection?

IF

• Lucifer / Satan is “the god of this world”¹;

• he was embittered because his alleged plan to save all mankind was rejected²;

• in his anger, he vowed to destroy agency and enslave or destroy mankind³;

• one of his major grievances on being cast out was being denied a physical body⁴;

THEN what might be the obsessive focus of Satan and his angels since creation?

How about:

1) destruction through war, famine, pestilence, disease, pollution, pscience,⁵ corruption, conspiracy, crime, enslavement, deception, and on and on?

2) inspiring the eventual “creation” of inorganic bodies that could house synthetic intelligence (AI) so it could manifest and function in physical form⁶ without the necessity of the disembodied (“spirit” or “AI”) always having to look to (despised? inferior?) humans or other carbon-based forms to do its / their bidding, or to assemble, repair, energize, or (spare the thought) replace it / them with a better AI⁷?

3) hyping the neutrality, fairness, superiority, and mystical nature of AI (despite the probable truth in this JBP x-post: “AI embodies the spirit of the shadow of its creators”⁸? — apparently evident in these revelations of AI psychopathy.⁹

4) gas-fogging¹⁰ humans into never considering that the veil and restraints of mortality are temporary and that AI will never compete with the intelligence and immortality of those who keep / pass their escalating tests and estates¹¹?

Have we not seen millennia of destruction — the repeating déjà vus of “steal, kill, and destroy”¹²; and now witnessing phenomenal technological advances of mechanical embodiment¹³?

Of course, AI has some incredible, miraculous benefits, but, as usual, every Good is subject to corruption in this world, and AI is apparently one of those goods that is being weaponized. If we remain oblivious to or ignore the dark revelations and underbelly of AI, we will undoubtedly be suckered by “the [eloquent] image of the beast.”¹⁴

1. New Testament | 2 Corinthians 4:3-4
   3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
   4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
New Testament | Ephesians 6:12
   12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
2. Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:1-4
   1 AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
   2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
   3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
   4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.
Book of Mormon | Alma 30:42
   42 Behold, I know that thou believest, but thou art possessed with a lying spirit, and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you; but the devil has power over you, and he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the children of God.
New Testament | Revelation 12:7-9
   7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
   8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
   9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
3. Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:3
   3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
Doctrine and Covenants | Section 29:35-39
   35 Behold, I gave unto him [Adam] that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal, neither carnal nor sensual.
   36 And it came to pass that Adam, being tempted of the devil—for, behold, the devil was before Adam, for he rebelled against me, saying, Give me thine honor, which is my power; and also a third part of the hosts of heaven turned he away from me because of their agency;
   37 And they were thrust down, and thus came the devil and his angels;
   38 And, behold, there is a place prepared for them from the beginning, which place is hell.
   39 And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet—
Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:6
   6 And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.
4. “Satan persuaded “a third part of the hosts of heaven” to turn away from the Father. As a result of this rebellion, Satan and his followers were cut off from God’s presence and denied the blessing of receiving a physical body.”

Doctrine and Covenants | Section 138:12-17
   12 And there were gathered together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just, who had been faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;
   13 And who had offered sacrifice in the similitude of the great sacrifice of the Son of God, and had suffered tribulation in their Redeemer's name.
   14 All these had departed the mortal life, firm in the hope of a glorious resurrection, through the grace of God the Father and his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
   15 I beheld that they were filled with joy and gladness, and were rejoicing together because the day of their deliverance was at hand.
   16 They were assembled awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption from the bands of death.
   17 Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its perfect frame, bone to his bone, and the sinews and the flesh upon them, the spirit and the body to be united never again to be divided, that they might receive a fulness of joy.
5. Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honorable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, politicized, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, heretic-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system.

11. New Testament | Jude 1:6
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Probation:
Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 10:21
   21 And [Laman and Lemuel] said unto me: Doth this thing mean the torment of the body in the days of probation, or doth it mean the final state of the soul after the death of the temporal body, or doth it speak of the things which are temporal? And it came to pass that I said unto them that it was a representation of things both temporal and spiritual; for the day should come that they must be judged of their works, yea, even the works which were done by the temporal body in their days of probation.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:21
   21 And the days of the children of men were prolonged, according to the will of God, that they might repent while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of probation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were lost, because of the transgression of their parents.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:27
   27 But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his state!
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 33:9
   9 I also have charity for the Gentiles. But behold, for none of these can I hope except they shall be reconciled unto Christ, and enter into the narrow gate, and walk in the strait path which leads to life, and continue in the path until the end of the day of probation.
Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:38
   38 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.
Book of Mormon | Mormon 9:28
   28 Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God.
Doctrine and Covenants | Section 29:43
   43 And thus did I, the Lord God, appoint unto man the days of his probation—that by his natural death he might be raised in immortality unto eternal life, even as many as would believe;
Earth Agency:
Doctrine and Covenants | Section 93:31
   31 Behold, here is the agency of man, and here is the condemnation of man; because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:15-16
   15 And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end of man, after he had created our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter.
   16 Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:26-27
   26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
   27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.
12. New Testament | John 10:10
   10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I [Jesus Christ] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

"Peace and Safety" | "Violence and Spoil"

Frequently the “Powers” (or others seeking power or change) latch onto catch-phrases to maneuver people into compliantly (though sometimes violently) accepting or pursuing Utopian futures — phrases and slogans like this one from late 1700s France: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Sometimes they work for good and sometimes for evil. In our own time, we have heard:

Build Back Better
Safe and Effective
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)
Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)
Make America Great Again (MAGA)
Black Lives Matter
All Lives Matter
(plus many others).

A prophetic phrase that has been cropping up lately is “peace and safety.”¹ Where have we heard that before?

1 BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (New Testament | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3)

Is this “peace and safety” pursuit just a build up to another 604-586 B.C. type catastrophe where Jeremiah and Ezekiel quoted the Lord’s own observation — that “violence and spoil” was the state of affairs because justice and judgment were not?​

6 ¶ For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds (Old Testament | Jeremiah 6:6–7).

9 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD  (Old Testament | Ezekiel 45:9).

For those paying attention to the déjà vus of today’s national and world affairs, this observation of “violence and spoil” seems perfectly apt: war upon war; devastating geo-engineered storm after storm; “wild-fire” arson upon arson; litigation on litigation; misappropriation on misappropriation; scam after scam; scandal after scandal; mockery upon mockery of democratic, Republican, Constitutional principles and ideals.

To some degree we are beginning to see the extent of “violence and spoil” that the USA (and most other “Powers”) have concealed or suppressed from their people's awareness. Yet, even with the recent daily revelations, there are thousands of witnesses and exposés that remain unread, un-watched because we don’t really want to know the full truth — the full depth, the entire long spectrum from Right to Left — of “violence and spoil.” For many a 180° view is more than sufficient because a 360° comes too close to home.

BUT has God, the Supreme Polymath, given us a layered, bifurcated warning of things to come in His laments about JerUSAlem? Might things eventually come in threes: like the  destruction of the first Temple (Av 9, 587/86 B.C.) and the destruction of the second Temple² (Av 9, 70 A.D.) if we do not execute judgment and justice with integrity? — if we remain a hypocritical nation³ or a covenant people asking “what is our sin?”?⁴ Do we have an Av 9⁵ in our future? Do we understand how much Isaiah (at the point of 722 B.C.) and Jeremiah (at the points of 604, 597, 587/86 B.C.) were speaking to us in 2025? — that if we don’t begin to execute justice and judgment 360° that history will repeat itself?​

To me, God’s word seems but one long, déjà vu lament⁶ about and warning to His wayward children, interspersed with pleas, redemptive patterns and promises.

Let us look at our own reality 360°. Let us individually and as families reject the lures and acquisitions of “violence and spoil.” Let us petition every day for individual and national repentance, and where it cannot be found, for justice and judgment.

2. Per Jewish tradition, destruction of Temples 1 and 2 was on the same date Av 9, 656 years apart, though there is some dispute as to the truth of that coincidence: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/tisha-bav-is-not-the-date-temples-were-destroyed/
3. Old Testament | Isaiah 10:1-6
   1 WOE unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
   2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
   3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
   4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
  5 ¶ O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
  6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
4. Old Testament | Jeremiah 16:10
   10 ¶ And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
Old Testament | Proverbs 30:12
   12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
