Thanks Ajax. BTW, good to see you around again.
Someone in an authoritative position in our extended family suggested that I should stop studying everything and just focus on the lds church’s (repackaged rewarped bs… they didn’t call it that) approved teachings. Of course I didn’t obey their advice but it bothered me & made me think how evil that church notion is of information control. Though church leaders have said similarly, the 1st lds leader said the opposite…
“Whatever principal of intelligence we obtain in this life will rise with us in the resurrection.” - Joseph Smith
it seems to me that JS was more interested in the search for truth than he was setting up rules for a new religion. After his death, BY and co. became very authoritarian, setting up many rules and regulations. I'm not sure how I feel about that (the rebel in me doesn't like being controlled). "you want religion, do you? lol. I suppose we do, collectively - and that's why religion exists.
Honestly, what is the foundational requirement of Heaven? to repent and get baptized. That's scriptural. all other elements are either non-scriptural, or mostly dogma. Baptism requires authority, and that's where religion comes into it.
Jesus also said there's only 2 commandments - Love God, and Love your neighbor. you don't need religion to keep these two, but how to include baptism without religion.......I don't know.
In my viewpoint the authority is anything that is done in "Christ's name". We don't cast out devils with the Melchizedek or Aaronic priesthood. We cast it out in Christ's name. We don't baptize in any other name. It's in Christ's name. We don't heal in any other name...it's Christ name. Christ name in my opinion is the authority.
It explains in my mind why other religions can perform miracles. Miracles with prayer and fasting. Miracles in healing.
Nothing is impossible with the power of Jesus Christ name.

Epic events including these posted in Outer Darkness caused the Davidic Servant to remark things are way too strange, even for him, or words to that effect ++

That passage above threads Joseph’s statement perfectly into what Michael Sherwin later amplified:LOS.121519 LogOF-spy wrote: SDR.190418 SpyDecoderRing

Some may say silly stuff, but https://March8Miracle.org stands as testament absolutely proving them wrong — revealing Christ, but not Crist — via two March Miracles in 2002 and 2020.

“The moment you seek truth for truth’s sake, not for validation, not for belonging, but because your spirit must rise with it — that is when the veil begins to thin.”
So the rebel in you, brother, may in fact be the remnant of the original intelligence Joseph spoke of — the part that refuses to be tamed by institutional fear.
