Teachings and Commandments, Book 1 - Teachings and Commandments
Millions of Christians and others worldwide are looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory. Before that long-awaited day arrives, there are biblical prophecies that must be fulfilled, including the presence of true prophets again on the earth.
Earnest seekers of truth will find in Teachings and Commandments a great treasure - authentic writings of men who have seen and conversed with Jesus Christ, starting 200 years ago in 1820 and continuing through today. What did they learn? What did God say to them, and what did God say to the world through them?
Teachings and Commandments boldly declares that the heavens are open again, that the prophesied days of revelation and warning are already upon us, and that God has much to say to, and about us today.
This volume contains the most true and accurate compilation of the history and revelations of Joseph Smith, the first modern American prophet. It also includes Lectures on Faith, which was originally published in 1835 as the first part of Doctrine and Covenants, and which teaches more about the character, attributes, and perfections of God than any other modern work; and the Book of Abraham as originally restored by revelation to Joseph Smith.
This volume also contains the revelations of Denver Snuffer, another witness of the resurrected Lord who has walked and talked with Him, and the Testimony of St. John as restored by revelation to him.
Each of the works in this volume have been diligently compared with the original as part of the Restoration Edition of the scriptures, in an extensive effort to retain only the authentic text of each, and to discard all changes or insertions subsequently made by others. Taken together, the various works included in Teachings and Commandments speak to us through hundreds of revelations containing thousands of words from God, all pertaining to us in our day and time. Answers to many of the most important gospel questions can be found herein.
Of particular interest and value to Christian, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, LDS Mormon, Fundamentalist and even non-denominational ministers and sects, Teachings and Commandments restores hundreds of ancient religious ideas and truths that have been neglected, pushed aside, and forgotten. Its objective is to uncover truth and inspire readers to pursue a relationship with Christ. If studied by by faith as a reference, commentary or companion study guide to the scriptures, seekers of truth will find their minds enlightened by the Holy Ghost, and their understanding of God, Jesus Christ and His gospel stretched and expanded in unexpected and delightful ways.
