D&C 93:11–17. Jesus “Received Not of the Fulness at the First, but Continued from Grace to Grace”

President Lorenzo Snow said: “When Jesus lay in the manger, a helpless infant, He knew not that He was the Son of God, and that formerly He created the earth. When the edict of Herod was issued, He knew nothing of it; He had not power to save Himself; and His father and mother had to take Him and fly into Egypt to preserve Him from the effects of that edict. Well, He grew up to manhood, and during His progress it was revealed unto Him who He was, and for what purpose He was in the world. The glory and power He possessed before He came into the world was made known unto Him.” (In Conference Report, Apr. 1901, p. 3.)

Jesus grew until He had a fulness of grace, truth, glory, and power. John saw that Jesus “received a fulness of the glory of the Father” (D&C 93:16). Verse 17 of section 93 says that “he received all power both in heaven and on earth, and the glory of the Father was with him, for he dwelt in him.” Verses 19 and 20 indicate that all people may grow to the point of receiving a fulness if they will follow the example of the Savior.

First Black Mormon Polygamist

 Brigham Young wore many Hats. He had to make a determination during the Debates on Slavery in regards to which side Utah would take. In 1832, Elijah Ables, was called as the first African American priesthood holder by Joseph Smith to be a Seventy. Shortly after that, they were cast out of Missouri for wanting to abolish slavery. When the Saints started their journey out west in 1847, an African American convert named William McCrary began practicing Polygamy and taken on multiple white women as wives. But that wasn’t the reason for his excommunication. Things got really ugly he when started claiming to be a prophet while Brigham Young was away on a political trip to Washington DC to discuss Utah’s statehood. By the time he came back Orson Pratt had taken a decision to excommunicate McCrary. This is the beginning of the priesthood restriction on African Americans. There was no official D&C on the ban and it was not a revelation from God and therefore, racism must be condemned. ...

Perfect Doctrine given to imperfect people

1835 D&C 101:  https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/.../doctrine-and.../259 "Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication, and polygamy: we declare that we believe, that one man  should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband, except in case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again." Brigham Young removed it from Utah LDS group D&C in 1875 “I commenced revising the history of Joseph Smith at Brother Richard’s office: Elder Heber C. Kimball and George A. Smith were with me.” Brigham Young -History of the Church 7:389 Have you seen examples of the corrupted Utah LDS church under polygamist Brigham Young trying to change the church history? It is literally right there for all to clearly see. Here is a quick example of Oct 5, 1843 where they changed what Joseph said entirely!: Joseph Smith's journal entry - Noting that Joseph forbids the practice of plural marriage (handwriting – Williard Richards)  https://www.josep...

Coming back to the Universal One true Church

 All humans have an inherent need to discover the purpose of their existence. It's what motivates us every morning.  I wasn’t attending mass during my college (Uni) years. But I sought meaning in life in the material world with new age beliefs. It is this search that led me to learn about the "restored" Gospel of Jesus Christ through the missionaries of the Latter Day Saint (LDS) Church.  By the time I landed my first corporate job and immersed myself into work and hanging out on Friday’s late into the night drinking and smoking, I was only Catholic on paper. I allowed myself to be deceived into thinking that if I was a good person and believe in Jesus that is sufficient. So after being pursued for months and maybe even years by Mormon Missionaries, I was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Prior to making my LDS baptism decision, I never sought to determine the authenticity of the teachings passed down through the tradition of the Catholic Churc...
