(11Sa 25:32 KJV+20)  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Abigail,²⁶ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ thee this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ to meet⁷¹²⁵ me:

(11Sa 25:33 KJV+20)  And blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thy advice,²⁹⁴⁰ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thou,⁸⁵⁹ which⁸³⁴ hast kept³⁶⁰⁷ me this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ from coming^{4480, 935} to shed blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and from avenging³⁴⁶⁷ myself with mine own hand.³⁰²⁷

(11Sa 25:39 KJV+20)  And when David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ hath pleaded^{7378 (853)} the cause⁷³⁷⁹ of my reproach²⁷⁸¹ from the hand^{4480, 3027} of Nabal,⁵⁰³⁷ and hath kept²⁸²⁰ his servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ from evil:^{4480, 7451} for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath returned⁷⁷²⁵ the wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ of Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ upon his own head.⁷²¹⁸ And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with Abigail,²⁶ to take³⁹⁴⁷ her to him to wife.⁸⁰²

(11Sa 26:25 KJV+20)  Then Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thou,⁸⁵⁹ my son¹¹²¹ David:¹⁷³² thou shalt both¹⁵⁷¹ do great^{6213, 6213} things, and also¹⁵⁷¹ shalt still prevail.^{3201, 3201} So David¹⁷³² went¹⁹⁸⁰ on his way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ returned⁷⁷²⁵ to his place.⁴⁷²⁵

(12Sa 2:5 KJV+20)  And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Jabesh-gilead,^{3003, 1568} and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be ye⁸⁵⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ ye have showed⁶²¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ your lord,¹¹³ even unto⁵⁹⁷³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and have buried⁶⁹¹² him.

(12Sa 6:12 KJV+20)  And it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed^{1288 (853)} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Obed-edom,⁵⁶⁵⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ pertaineth unto him, because⁵⁶⁶⁸ of the ark⁷²⁷ of God.⁴³⁰ So David¹⁷³² went¹⁹⁸⁰ and brought up^{5927 (853)} the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ from the house^{4480, 1004} of Obed-edom⁵⁶⁵⁴ into the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² with gladness.⁸⁰⁵⁷

(12Sa 6:18 KJV+20)  And as soon as David¹⁷³² had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of offering^{4480, 5927} burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² he blessed^{1288 (853)} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

(12Sa 6:20 KJV+20)  Then David¹⁷³² returned⁷⁷²⁵ to bless^{1288 (853)} his household.¹⁰⁰⁴ And Michal⁴³²⁴ the daughter¹³²³ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ came out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ How⁴¹⁰⁰ glorious³⁵¹³ was the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ today,³¹¹⁷ who⁸³⁴ uncovered himself¹⁵⁴⁰ today³¹¹⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the handmaids⁵¹⁹ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ as one²⁵⁹ of the vain fellows⁷³⁸⁶ shamelessly uncovereth himself!^{1540, 1540}

(12Sa 7:29 KJV+20)  Therefore now⁶²⁵⁸ let it please²⁹⁷⁴ thee to bless^{1288 (853)} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that it may continue¹⁹⁶¹ forever⁵⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ O Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it: and with thy blessing^{4480, 1293} let the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ be blessed¹²⁸⁸ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

(12Sa 8:10 KJV+20)  Then Toi⁸⁵⁸³ sent^{7971 (853)} Joram³¹⁴¹ his son¹¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² to salute^{7592, 7965} him, and to bless¹²⁸⁸ him, because^{5921, 834} he had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ and smitten⁵²²¹ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ Hadadezer¹⁹⁰⁹ had¹⁹⁶¹ wars⁴⁴²¹ with Toi.⁸⁵⁸³ And Joram brought¹⁹⁶¹ with³⁰²⁷ him vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass:⁵¹⁷⁸

(12Sa 13:25 KJV+20)  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ Nay,⁴⁰⁸ my son,¹¹²¹ let us not⁴⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ lest³⁸⁰⁸ we be chargeable³⁵¹³ unto⁵⁹²¹ thee. And he pressed⁶⁵⁵⁵ him: howbeit he would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ but blessed¹²⁸⁸ him.

(12Sa 14:22 KJV+20)  And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ fell⁵³⁰⁷ to the ground⁷⁷⁶ on⁴¹³ his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and bowed himself,⁷⁸¹² and thanked^{1288 (853)} the king:⁴⁴²⁸ and Joab³⁰⁹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Today³¹¹⁷ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ my lord,¹¹³ O king,⁴⁴²⁸ in that⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ hath fulfilled^{6213 (853)} the request¹⁶⁹⁷ of his servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

(12Sa 18:28 KJV+20)  And Ahimaaz²⁹⁰ called,⁷¹²¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ All is well.⁷⁹⁶⁵ And he fell down⁷⁸²¹ to the earth⁷⁷⁶ upon his face⁶³⁹ before the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ hath delivered up^{5462 (853)} the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ lifted up^{5375 (853)} their hand³⁰²⁷ against my lord¹¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

(12Sa 19:39 KJV+20)  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went over^{5674 (853)} Jordan.³³⁸³ And when the king⁴⁴²⁸ was come over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ Barzillai,¹²⁷¹ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ him; and he returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto his own place.⁴⁷²⁵

(12Sa 21:3 KJV+20)  Wherefore David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the Gibeonites,¹³⁹³ What⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I do⁶²¹³ for you? and wherewith⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I make the atonement,³⁷²² that ye may bless^{1288 (853)} the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸

(12Sa 22:47 KJV+20)  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth;²⁴¹⁶ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ be my rock;⁶⁶⁹⁷ and exalted⁷³¹¹ be the God⁴³⁰ of the rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ of my salvation.³⁴⁶⁸

(11Ki 1:47 KJV+20)  And moreover¹⁵⁷¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ came⁹³⁵ to bless^{1288 (853)} our lord¹¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ make ⁽⁸⁵³⁾ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ better³¹⁹⁰ than thy name,^{4480, 8034} and make ⁽⁸⁵³⁾ his throne³⁶⁷⁸ greater¹⁴³¹ than thy throne.^{4480, 3678} And the king⁴⁴²⁸ bowed himself⁷⁸¹² upon⁵⁹²¹ the bed.⁴⁹⁰⁴

(11Ki 1:48 KJV+20)  And also¹⁵⁷¹ thus³⁶⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ one to sit³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ my throne³⁶⁷⁸ this day,³¹¹⁷ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ even seeing⁷²⁰⁰ it.

(11Ki 2:45 KJV+20)  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ shall be blessed,¹²⁸⁸ and the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² shall be¹⁹⁶¹ established³⁵⁵⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ forever.^{5704, 5769}

(11Ki 5:7 KJV+20)  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Hiram²⁴³⁸ heard^{8085 (853)} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ that he rejoiced⁸⁰⁵⁵ greatly,³⁹⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ this day,³¹¹⁷ which⁸³⁴ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto David¹⁷³² a wise²⁴⁵⁰ son¹¹²¹ over⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

(11Ki 8:14 KJV+20)  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned^{5437 (853)} his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ about, and blessed^{1288 (853)} all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ (and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood;)⁵⁹⁷⁵

And  especially  (1Deu 14:29 KJVA20)  And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.  This is what I see as true worship.  Its in His word, and how many realize it?

This is not to say there are not other forms, nor to say there are not other flavors, but for those that are true believers, they wish to be as true about their worship as possible.  Only the Lord Jesus has the right to be their judge.  But, if the Bible to be considered to be the true Word of God, then worship aught to be based on what it says, not based upon ones opinion.  See, the Word is some what clear on this, for those who care, and hopefully more and more are caring :

(1Dan 10:21 KJVA20)  But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

(1Mar 12:10 KJVA20)  And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

(1Mar 15:28 KJVA20)  And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

(1Luk 4:21 KJVA20)  And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

(1Joh 2:22 KJVA20)  When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

(1Joh 7:38 KJVA20)  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

(1Joh 7:42 KJVA20)  Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

(1Joh 10:35 KJVA20)  If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

(1Joh 13:18 KJVA20)  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

(1Joh 17:12 KJVA20)  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

(1Joh 19:24 KJVA20)  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

(1Joh 19:28 KJVA20)  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

(1Joh 19:36 KJVA20)  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

(1Joh 19:37 KJVA20)  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

(1Joh 20:9 KJVA20)  For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

(1Act 1:16 KJVA20)  Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

(1Act 8:32 KJVA20)  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

(1Act 8:35 KJVA20)  Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

(1Rom 4:3 KJVA20)  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

(1Rom 9:17 KJVA20)  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

(1Rom 10:11 KJVA20)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(1Rom 11:2 KJVA20)  God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

(1Gal 3:8 KJVA20)  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

(1Gal 3:22 KJVA20)  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

(1Gal 4:30 KJVA20)  Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

(11Ti 5:18 KJVA20)  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

(12Ti 3:16 KJVA20)  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

(1Jas 2:8 KJVA20)  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

(1Jas 2:23 KJVA20)  And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

(1Jas 4:5 KJVA20)  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

(11Pe 2:6 KJVA20)  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

(12Pe 1:20 KJVA20)  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

See, in the Mormon scriptures, and one of their tenants are, “the Bible I right and true so far as it is correctly translated”, sorry, I don’t remember which numbered tenants this is, I only remember it is of them.  But, while I do agree with what they say here, I totally agree with these words, but to the extent by which they say this, I have one problem.  You see, while their Book of Mormon has a king James flavor to it, I encountered a Bible scholar years ago while I was homeless and he and his wife invaded me to be his house guest, an honor I shall never forget.  Anyway, thru him I learned much, being that he had been in the Mormon church about half of his life and out of same church the other half, and he dearly loved the Mormon people, but, in his studies, he came to realize that while their books have a king James flavor, there is no Kings English Construction there. This inpart because Joseph Smith was not a learned person.  I don’t even know if he was a charismatic sort of person.  Brigman Young was a very charismatic.  But Joseph begin to change scripture that was uncomfortable to him.  Based on what criteria?  Some day, I would like to be on a friendly discussion with a Mormon to find out just what his criteria was, if he would be honest with me, if he even knows.  I assume someone there knows what his criteria was, I just have no idea, beyond what he was uncomfortable with.

We got our English from England, and Winston S Churchill wrote a book of 2 or 3 volumes called “A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES” which I assume to be reasonably accurate.   And as many may be aware, we have had our English usage established by Noah Webster  1758 – 1843) was an American lexicographer, textbook author, spelling reformer, political writer, word enthusiast, and editor. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education". His Blue-backed Speller books taught five generations of children in the United States how to spell and read, and (in the U.S.) his name became synonymous with "dictionary", in 1828 as An American Dictionary of the English Language.   So we owe a fair amount to these two gentlemen.  Well, what Mormons I've been able to talk to so far.  Have let me know that their not interested in Noah Webster’s ideas.  So when I asked them what their basis of definitions were for what they said, they said on the average, “what ever I want it to be”  now, I don’t know about anybody else, but I would imagine you, and perhaps most others would not quite see matters in this light.  How then do they determine what their words mean in what they are saying?  My being a born again Christian, I know that on the basis of scripture, that if one is not born again, they simply are not saved.  And John 3:16, Rev 3:20 and Rom 10:9-13 are 3 well known scriptures among the born a gainers to confirm their salvation, which are :  Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.    And   Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.     10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.     11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.     12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.     13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

With these scriptures in mind, any one that knows them, I see no way for them to be misunderstood.  And as I talked with  Mormons concerning them, they are in agreement as to what they say, but, as I have tried to get them to pin down just what they mean, the nearest of anything I could get them to say that they mean, is the equivalent to “turning over a new leaf”  so, after listening to them for a long time, and seeing no other way to say what they were saying while saying what they were saying, I finally asked them, one at a time that is so I never got a general consensus but, on the over average they would simply say “yes, that’s what I mean”  ahhh, excuse me ! !  are all they saying “TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF”  when they say “YES, THAT’S WHAT I MEAN”  I'm sorry but  if their looking for a new leaf, by scriptures, all I find of leaves are

(1Gen 8:11 LITV20)  And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, behold! In her mouth was a newly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.       1

(1Lev 26:36 LITV20)  And those who are left of you, I shall also bring a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they shall fall when no one pursues.                       2

(1Deu 12:2 LITV20)  Destroying you shall destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.       3

(1Job 13:25 LITV20)  Will You terrify a leaf driven to and fro? Will you pursue the dry stubble?                                4

(1Psa 1:3 LITV20)  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of waters, which will give its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf will not wither, and all which he does will prosper.

(1Pro 11:28 LITV20)  One trusting in his riches, he shall fall; but like a green leaf the righteous shall sprout.      5

(1Isa 1:30 LITV20)  For you shall be like a tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water in it.              6

(1Isa 34:4 LITV20)  And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a scroll. Then all their host shall droop, as a leaf drooping from the vine, and as the drooping from a fig tree.     7

(1Isa 64:6 LITV20)  But we are all as the unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf, and like the wind our iniquities take us away.                                      8

(1Jer 8:13 LITV20)  I will utterly consume them, says Jehovah. No grapes will be on the vine, or figs on the fig tree; even the leaf withers. And I will give to them those who pass over them.                             9

(1Eze 6:13 LITV20)  And you shall know that I am Jehovah when their slain shall be in the midst of their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every leafy oak, (the place where they gave there a soothing aroma to all their idols).            10

(1Eze 20:28 LITV20)  When I had brought them into the land for which I lifted up My hand, to give it to them, then they saw every high hill and every leafy tree; and they offered their sacrifices there. And they have their provoking offering there. They also made their soothing aroma there and poured out their drink offerings there.              11

(1Eze 47:12 LITV20)  And all trees for food shall go up by the torrent, on its lip on this side and on that. Its leaf shall not fade, and its fruit shall not fail; it will bear by its months, because its waters come out from the sanctuary. And its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.              12

And I don’t quite think this covers what they are covering.  They say “turning over a new leaf, where is that here.  So, when they say that they believe that the Bible is right and true so far as it is correctly translated, my next question then is, “what do they mean by ‘correctly translated’” ??  will they ever tell us??  My guess is they will just use that as a convenient statement to get out of being put on a spot.  Also, while living in Arizona for a while, while in its Mormon territory, and I would venture you would find this in any library in Mormon territory, while in their library, I found a bunch of novels, and quite a number of them by Mormon authors.  Now, one might say, “where’s the big deal in that”??  well, for myself, seeing that novels are essentially  just writings of ones figment of their imaginations, hay, nobody is paying to read my figment of my imagination, so why would I want to pay some body else to read the figment of their imaginations.  Well, anyway, it seemed odd to me that as I picked up on of their western novel, and it described their problems with us Gentiles.  And, I will admit, I am a gentile to the Jews, and I have no problem with  that.  I am glad I am not Jewish.  Would it be because then I can have missed the holocaust??  I have no idea, there should have never been a holocaust to begin with.  Nevertheless, they view any non Mormon as Gentiles.  Excuse me, I am a Gentile to the Jews, but, the Mormons are also Gentiles to the Jews.  But, they don’t see it that way.  And when I read a portion of that  novel, I found that they raised pigs, and while on their travels they came across some so called Gentiles that had a herd of cattle, and they approached them with anticipation of acquiring some of their cattle, and one of them had a rifle under his coat and having it available lest if the Gentile doesn’t let him have of his cattle, he would lift up the rifle and shoot the gentile and thus get his cattle.  Well, now, wait a moment.  If they are into replacement theology, then where the Bible is against his people having pigs, then the Mormons should be holding tight to their dietary laws. And the Bible is very clear on this, as in

(1Leviticus 11:7 Darby20)  and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud--it shall be unclean unto you.

(1Deuteronomy 14:8 Darby20)  and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud--it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch.

(1Proverbs 11:22 Darby20)  A fair woman who is without discretion, is as a gold ring in a swine's snout.

(1Isaiah 65:4 Darby20)  who sit down among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

(1Isaiah 66:3 Darby20)  He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, it is as swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, is as he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,

(1Isaiah 66:17 Darby20)  They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.

(1Matthew 7:6 Darby20)  Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.

(1Matthew 8:30 Darby20)  Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding;

(1Matthew 8:31 Darby20)  and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.

(1Matthew 8:32 Darby20)  And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters.

(1Mark 5:11 Darby20)  Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;

(1Mark 5:12 Darby20)  and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.

(1Mark 5:13 Darby20)  And Jesus immediately allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

(1Mark 5:16 Darby20)  And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

(1Luke 8:32 Darby20)  And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.

(1Luke 8:33 Darby20)  And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.

(1Luke 15:15 Darby20)  And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

(1Luke 15:16 Darby20)  And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.

This looks a little to me like as the Lord is a bit against them having what we would call pigs.  So if the Mormons are the true ones, find those that eat pork yet in any form and ask them why they are eating it?  After they tell you, then ask them why they have chosen to violate the dietary laws if they are the only true church as they say.  Hmmm. 

 I begin realizing that, in that, at one point, the refered to their religion as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Israelites”  a, excuse me, that then becomes “Replacement Theology”  they are saying, “because the Jews lost, therefore, they are now the New Jews.  Ah, excuse me, in

(1Eph 5:27 KJV+20)  That²⁴⁴³ he might present³⁹³⁶ it⁸⁴⁶ to himself¹⁴³⁸ a glorious¹⁷⁴¹ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ not³³⁶¹ having²¹⁹² spot,⁴⁶⁹⁵ or²²²⁸ wrinkle,⁴⁵¹² or²²²⁸ any⁵¹⁰⁰ such thing;⁵¹⁰⁸ but²³⁵ that²⁴⁴³ it should be⁵⁶⁰⁰ holy⁴⁰ and²⁵³² without blemish.²⁹⁹   ( the word spot there has a very fascinating meaning, along with the word wrinkle.  In wrinkle, in the Greek, it means like that of an old lady with wrinkly skin and the such, so He is not coming for a bride that is all old and wrinkly, but one that is young and fresh, etc, etc, .  but, with the word spot, it may be referring to “arrogance” , of which in my understandings, and I am willing for anyone that can to verify me to be wrong. But, to me, anyone who refers to themselves as the Latter Day Israelites is of the heights of arrogance.  Especially since there is no where in all scripture where the such is even suggested.  That would be equal to the Lord turning his backs on His People.  Now, you can find all kinds of places where His people turned their backs on him, but I don’t believe you will find one place where he turned his backs on then.  There is one place that the Lord was not happy with his people, and that is found in   Exo 32:1  When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, "Up, make us gods who shall go before us.   As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."   2  So Aaron said to them, "Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me."   3  So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron.   4  And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!"   5  When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD."   6  And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.   7  And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.   8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'"   9  And the LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.    10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you."   11  But Moses implored the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?   12  Why should the Egyptians say, 'With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people.   13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'"    14  And the LORD relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.    15  Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.   16  The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.    17  When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp."    18  But he said, "It is not the sound of shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear."    19  And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.    20  He took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it.    21  And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?"    22  And Aaron said, "Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.    23  For they said to me, 'Make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'    24  So I said to them, 'Let any who have gold take it off.' So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."    25  And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to the derision of their enemies),    26  then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, "Who is on the LORD's side? Come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered around him.    27  And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put your sword on your side each of you, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each of you kill his brother and his companion and his neighbor.'"    28  And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And that day about three thousand men of the people fell.    29  And Moses said, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so that he might bestow a blessing upon you this day."    30  The next day Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."    31  So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold.    32  But now, if you will forgive their sin--but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written."    33  But the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.    34  But now go, lead the people to the place about which I have spoken to you; behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them."    35  Then the LORD sent a plague on the people, because they made the calf, the one that Aaron made.    33:1  The LORD said to Moses, "Depart; go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your offspring I will give it.'    2  I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.    3  Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people."    4  When the people heard this disastrous word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.    5  For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the people of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.'"    6  Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.    7  Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.    8  Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent.    9  When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses.    10  And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door.    11  Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.    12  Moses said to the LORD, "See, you say to me, 'Bring up this people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'    13  Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people."    14  And he said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."    15  And he said to him, "If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.    16  For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?"    17  And the LORD said to Moses, "This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."   )  This does not look like He turned His back on them, He came very close, but, at the last moment Moses bailed them out.  And how much of the way were they a stiff-necked people ?  well, lets look and see  :    (1Exodus 32:9 Darby20)  And Jehovah said to Moses, I see this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.  (1Exodus 33:3 Darby20)  into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, --lest I consume thee on the way.  (1Exodus 33:5 Darby20)  Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.  (1Exodus 34:9 Darby20)  and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance!  (1Deuteronomy 9:6 Darby20)  Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.  (1Deuteronomy 9:13 Darby20)  And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.  )  boy, looks like they were not doing much of anything right.

You see, as I have heard Mitt Romney being interviewed by various news commentators, upon every question I hear being asked, I hear nothing but a run around of an answer on each question.  Now, I will honor them up to the point of saying that they have the right to believe what ever they want to believe, that is their right here in America, my question is, what was America established on.  Most people think we believe what ever we want to believe and no body bother them with what ever they believe because after all, this is America, we have the right to believe what ever we want to believe.  Well, that sounds like a very nice run around for a very nice humanistic idea.  Let me do my thing and I will let you do your thing and we will all be happy.  But, is that what our founding fathers and colonizing colonizers striving to progress as they strove to progress???  Or could have they just happened to have more in mind??  I would submit to you that while Christopher Columbus never quite set foot on American soil, and while we are actually named after Americo Vespucious  ( I think the name was spelled )  yet, Christopher came over by direction of the Holy Spirit thru the authority of Jesus, and his log would show for it, and a book entitled ‘the Prophesies of Christopher Columbus” would show which old testament prophesies he believed that Jesus used to direct him here, and while he was indeed “Admiral of the Ocean Blue”, he was also a casual  monk of the Franciscan Order, and was here truly on divine mission.  Things generally relating to this and many other things could be backed or supported by Dave Barton’s www.wallbuilders.com for those willing to look and see what I believe the truth to really be.  See, when the colonizers came over, they were really as we know, Pilgrims, but, what does that really mean??  Some were also called Puritans, and those preferred to use the title Non Conformists, as they did no wish to conform to the Church of England.  The Church of England felt the need to divorce itself from the Roman Catholic Church, but, for all the wrong reasons, which is for another consideration.  However, for now the issue is, if you will look into the story on Reed Smoot on the internet, you will begin finding out some very fascinating things, but non of them seem to point to the Senate Sub Committee Hearings.  And I have learned recently that some years before, there were some similar problems within the Congress.  I hope to shortly be able to look into those congressional matters for other Mormons and see what may have happened there.  The whacky problem is, as with John F Kennedy, many know he was the very first Roman Catholic voted into that office, and he promised that his Catholic upbringing would have no effect on his office.  I see that as being like a man telling his wife that his sexuality would little effect if any on his position as husband and father of the house.  To me, that’s a little preposterous,  and since the first political people, such as our first supreme court justice, which is not politics, but related to that never the less, but, here, the first supreme court justice was a very strong  Christian man.  Oops, what went wrong, we started off with a Christian Supreme Court Justice?   No, I think the thoughts should be, How Many Christians did we have in those high places to begin with, and when and why did we pull back from that???   Many complain that “after all, the vast majority of them were Deists”  well, I think if the records were looked at closely, you might fine 2 Deists in the crowd, the rest of them being very strong Protestant Christians.  Why do we forget history, then lets some one else’s twisted ideas form our ideas??  I think it would be good for the people to look into our true history and see where wee indeed came from and where based upon that that we should be going to.  The vast majority of it is even available online.  I am amazingly surprised every time I get online for what I see that wasn’t there yesterday.  Well, it was there yesterday, I just didn’t find to get there till I got there.  I just stumbled into knowing about Reed Smoot about 10 years ago while being homeless and after checking the job books in the state employment office, I would then go to the library just to get in to where it was comfortable, then learning about computers that were what they called “online” with www being the World Wide Web, and at first I did not believe it, till a librarian tech told me, “go ahead, try it, and you will see”  then there was no time limit on the web, so I could spend all day there till the library closed down.  I was not intending for any grand searches, but, as I looked into them, I got more picky and more picky in my searching, to where I now wonder why we bother with the web with anything else.  A person might rightly say, “well, look at all the garbage on the web”  and I say RIGHTLY SOO, I AM MYSSELF VERY SICK OF MUCH OF THAT GARBAGE.  But, I also say, first, find the right search engine.  Most search engines are out to make money,  which I guess they have to afford to keep in business some how or another, but, there are some engines out there, that I even just stumbled into, that are not out to make money, but out to perform a service, and, somehoworanother, they are financially making it while performing their service.  And if anybody of true honest sincerity wants to know about such search engine or engines, I might let you know.  I could here, but, I want to see how many we have that are just playing dumb games, or really want to get something proper done, especially for the Glory of the Lord, and also. Exo 20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.   A full look at that word bless would be:   you may not want to go for the whole thing, but, if you wish to, here it is, with the final at the bottom  :
