"Plead with the Almighty that they may be guided, blessed, protected, inspired in their righteous endeavors.
Pray for peace in the earth, that the Almighty who governs the universe will stretch forth His hand and let His Spirit brood upon the people, that the nations may not rage one against another. Pray for the weather. We have floods in one area and drought in another. I am satisfied that if enough prayers ascend to heaven for moisture upon the land, the Lord will answer those prayers for the sake of the righteous."

What could a person do if they felt like their Patriarchal blessing was not inspired? Could they get another one from a differant Patriarch?

Why are the Mormon & Church of the Nazerene "We Believe" statements so similar?

You're reading Mormons, if praying to the Lord is wrong, why does Pres. Hinckley recommend it?

I'm not the one who's delusional here. If you don't know the difference between Jesus Christ, the Almighty God, and the other members of the Godhead, you should learn it. And learn it now.
The Lord is not above or below the other members of the Godhead, but he is certainly Jehovah, and Jehovah is the Most High.
Please don't put another member of the Godhead in the place of our Lord and Savior. It's blasphemy.
by Bridget_D8547 on May 20th, 2011
If the Jesus is not above or below other members of the Godhead and He is the Most High then all of the members of the Godhead are Most High, to say otherwise is truly blasphemy, and fallascious logic.

Exactly John, which is why Mormons worship the godhead as a whole, one God Three persons. Perhaps that is why bridget and trinitarians get confused and think Jesus is heavenly father or that they are of one substance.
In bridgets study of scripture she forgets that the son works on behalf of the father so in many instances, especially in the old testament, Jesus Speaks in the first person as though he were the father. So in a sense, yes Jesus is the father and the almighty but it is because of the relationship that the father and the son have that this is the case, and we do as Jesus commands and pray to the Father through the Son.

Guys, if you're under the misunderstanding that we worship all the other members of the Godhead rather than Jesus Christ, maybe you'd better go find the Church of the Godhead, because Mormons attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Go read the words on the building and see if you can get that to sink in.
by Bridget_D8547 on May 23rd, 2011
that is because Christ is the earthly repersentative of the Godhead. I'm surprised that you dont understand that.
by Does it matter? on May 23rd, 2011
Bridget are you saying that it is wrong to worship Heavenly Father and that we should not pray to Him?
by John Cox will be back April 6th 2013 on May 23rd, 2011
I have never said we could not respect Heavenly Father or ask him to help us. What I have said is that we can pray to the Lord and the Lord will answer our prayers.
And the Lord is Jesus Christ.
by Bridget_D8547 on May 24th, 2011
But Bridget dont you understand that Jesus is the mediator between man and Heavenly father?
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, John 14:6
one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim. 2:5
he is the mediator of a better covenant, Heb. 8:6
the mediator of the new testament, Heb. 9:15
Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, Heb. 12:24 (D&C 107:19).
ye should look to the great Mediator, 2 Ne. 2:28
made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, D&C 76:69
You should understand that the role of Christ,Jehovah, the Savior is to Pay the price, literally mediate between us and our Heavenly father so that we may return to live with our heavenly father. And it is under the Direction of the father that Christ does these things.
"26And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. And I, God, said: Let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27And I, God, created man in mine own image, in the image of mine Only Begotten created I him; male and female created I them." Moses 2:26-27

I know you never said we can not respect Heavenly Father, but what I'm asking is if you think we should not worship Him.
You said:
"if you're under the misunderstanding that we worship all the other members of the Godhead rather than Jesus Christ"
I simply want to know if you meant we should worship only Jesus Christ, or if you meant we should worship all the members of the Godhead including Jesus Christ.
by John Cox will be back April 6th 2013 on May 24th, 2011
Where do you get the idea that we should worship anyone other than Jesus Christ? It's not what the Holy Spirit has to say about it. We worship the Lord our God Jesus Christ.
We do not worship the Holy Spirit. We do not worship the Lord's Father. We worship the Father of Heaven and Earth, Jesus Christ.
by Bridget_D8547 on May 24th, 2011
Why dont you think we worship the Godhead?
by Does it matter? on May 24th, 2011
So yes or no are you saying that we should not worship Our Heavenly Father?
by John Cox will be back April 6th 2013 on May 24th, 2011
How about I ask you this: Where in scripture does it say we worship the Godhead rather than Christ?
P.S. Christ is the Father of Heaven and Earth, so if you're referring to him, yes, we should worship him. If you're referring to another member of the Godhead, no, it is not required that we worship other members of the Godhead. We worship the Lord alone.
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. " [2 Nephi 25:26]
by Bridget_D8547 on May 25th, 2011
ok bridget I'll bite, show me in scripture where it says that we are to worship CHRIST exclusively, not the Almighty, not G_d, but Christ.
In the mean time i thing you should read this article by a prophet of G_d so that you can understand what the true nature and role of the Godhead is: http://lds.org/liahona/1998/03/the-father-son-and-holy-ghost?lang=eng&query=worship+godhead
Notice how Pres. Hinkley describes each member of the Godhead and what he has to say about the father and then the Son.
by Does it matter? on May 25th, 2011
So are you saying it is only not required to worship the Father of our spirits? Or are you saying we should not worship Him? And I'm not talking about Jesus Christ, though He is our Redeemer He is not the Father of our spirits.

"Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?" Hebrews 12:9

John, I think you'd better gain an understanding of the fact that the House of Israel knew their Redeemer as Father. (See Isaiah.) Paul was certainly an Israelite. His audience would have understood references to the Father as references to Jehovah.
So Paul was saying worship Christ. Yes, we worship our God and Savior. He is our God and our fathers' God.
The other members of the Godhead are equal to him but they are not the Savior and therefore they are not Jehovah, the Lord God Almighty.
by Bridget_D8547 on May 26th, 2011
Heavenly Father is the Most High God that is all we are talking about right now, either admit it or deny it with a straight answer but get off the fence.
by John Cox will be back April 6th 2013 on May 26th, 2011
I concur John
