Snuffer, Jr. Volume 6","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach of us have the obligation to spread the truth and the knowledge that the Scriptures (that we now have) more accurately recover. We have to go back to what was given to us through Joseph Smith as the foundation in order to qualify to be able to move forward. The objective is clear: Rise up to occupy that high place where Zion is to be built. The battle rages all around. All must charge forward to engage the battle and hasten to the sound of that conflict. There must be success where others have failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of the Restoration is incomplete and still being written. Its conclusion will be years in the future, and there is tremendous work left to complete. All of us need to awaken and arise from the deep slumber that has overtaken the Restoration. We have been misled. We have fallen from the truth. We have rejected the fullness. And we must repent and return-or, as the Book of Mormon warns, awake and arise from this awful situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can believe in the Bible; you can accept Jesus as your Savior; you can be (in the words of the Evangelical community) born again. You can be (in the words of Latter-day Saints) someone whose calling and election is made sure. But the work of God, at this point, is not merely about individual salvation; it is the work of fulfilling the covenants that were made with the Fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work of the covenants that the Book of Mormon foretell are to be accomplished through the reclaiming (by repentance and returning to Him) of Gentiles will, ultimately, reach out to (and include) restoring the Lamanites\/restoring the Jews to a knowledge of the works of the Father. That-\u003cem\u003ethat\u003c\/em\u003e-is what is on the mind of God today. That is the purpose of the covenant that was given unto us in Boise just a few years ago. That is what fulfilling the covenant ultimately requires that we labor to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone can come into this work. Anyone can remain a Catholic or a Presbyterian or a Latter-day Saint if they choose to do so. It doesn't matter. Those things are more like civic clubs. I don't care if you're a Rotarian or a Kiwanis Club member-means about the same thing as belonging to any of those church organizations. Associate with whoever you like to associate with, but you must accept baptism. You must accept the Book of Mormon. It is a covenant. The covenant must be accepted, and you must help labor alongside those who seek to return Zion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe will never be Zion if we do not repent. Working together is the only way a society can grow together. Failing to do the hard work outlined in the covenant is failing to prepare for Zion. The Answer to the Prayer for Covenant and the Covenant are the beginning blueprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a process that is underway. There are things we have to do. I believe when the command is given to build a temple that we're going to have to act with alacrity if we are going to be able to fulfill the covenants and the obligations that have been promised by God and handed to us to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut don't expect the world to get better, and don't expect organized religions to get better. Hopefully there will be more and more who come to take refuge among a band of believers who have no hierarchy, office, position, who have only ourselves to fellowship with informally, gathering at one another's homes, and occasionally renting facilities to meet in larger groups. While you may look at us and say, You've done a crude job; you've done a rudimentary job; it needs improvement, then help us improve it  This is a time to gather, not to disperse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49536919732497,"sku":"GOR013733673","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538409124113,"sku":"NLS9781951168711","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756932034833,"sku":"NIN9781951168711","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1951168712.jpg?v=1750727897"},{"product_id":"teachings-of-denver-c-snuffer-jr-volume-1-book-denver-c-snuffer-jr-9781951168490","title":"The Teachings of Denver C.

Snuffer, Jr. Volume 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of papers, talks, and interviews taken from 2014 to 2016 has been arranged in a single volume. It is a daunting task to clarify the Restoration. It is beyond man's ability to complete the Restoration, but this collection moves God's objective forward. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn August 2014, I was invited to present a paper entitled Cutting Down the Tree of Life to Build a Wooden Bridge at the Sunstone Symposium at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. The presentation came between the ninth and tenth lectures of the 40 Years in Mormonism series that occupied a full year from September 2013 to September 2014. This volume includes that paper from 2014, together with other lectures, papers, and transcripts of interviews and extemporaneous comments given or recorded during 2015 and 2016. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been discussing the Restoration through Joseph Smith. The focus of the Restoration was not intended to end by establishing a New Testament church. It was intended to accomplish something ancient. We are to return to the religion as it was in the beginning. We know almost nothing right now of the full scope of the original body of teachings, revelations, ordinances, and rites. Even all that came through Joseph is but a glimpse. Joseph merely hinted at some of the remaining parts of the Restoration required to walk back to what was here at the beginning. We can't even imagine all the Lord has planned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Smith predicted that the Gospel as practiced before Moses (among the Patriarchal fathers) would necessarily return. It is impossible to re-establish that earliest form of the Gospel of Christ with its associated teachings, rites, ordinances, covenants, and organization if we insist that it fit into our current view of religion. We think so many things are necessary that are not, and we think many necessary things cannot possibly be required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is something now moving forward which is intended to become God's family on earth. It is intended to become something far greater than the apostate, fallen, and corrupt systems of this world. It remains an open question whether this generation can accept what God asks and then freely offers. Throughout history, most of mankind has rejected it. But those who will accept it will be able to live together in peace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcceptance begins with the Doctrine of Christ, which teaches us that we need to repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and learn to become one with each other. That is a formidable challenge. It will require patience and kindness towards one another. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system the Lord intends to restore was not fully developed while Joseph was still here. It is difficult for anyone to reconstruct what the Lord's original objective was. In the wisdom of the Lord, we are not given enough information to complete that process. The path is guarded. It will not be passed by those who just invent claims. It will require a temple to be restored-a temple which the Lord Himself plans, has built according to His commandment, and then accepts and visits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a lot of work left to be done if the Restoration is to be completed in our generation. Much will be required of us. But even with our best efforts, God alone will be the one who restores the original and complete gospel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gospel is true but only here in part. The Restoration is true but not completed. Joseph is what he claimed to be-and probably a lot more. If you study the matter out and take the time to look into it, you are going to find answers, and very often those answers are quite glorious -glorious beyond anything that you can imagine. God's promises are glorious indeed. They will all be vindicated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI testify that Joseph had a work to do, and he did it. It was an introduction for something far more glorious now underway. It will include the establishment of Zion. It's going to happen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMay 10, 2020 Denver\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51630616248593,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51630618247441,"sku":"NGR9781951168513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52350112039185,"sku":"NLS9781951168513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756931739921,"sku":"NIN9781951168513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1951168518.jpg?v=1750836128"},{"product_id":"teachings-of-denver-c-snuffer-jr-volume-5-book-denver-c-snuffer-9781951168681","title":"The Teachings of Denver C. Snuffer, Jr. Volume 5","description":"\u003cp\u003e2017 was a watershed year in the renewed Restoration of the gospel and the Lord's promise to bring again Zion. The Lord continued to pour out light and knowledge the following year, 2018, about a great many important topics, including the priesthood, unity, the divine nature of our heavenly parents, the great hope of the Restoration, the Covenant, and the necessity of seeking further light and knowledge from God. This compilation of lectures, papers, and Q\u0026amp;A sessions addresses these topics as they relate to the Father's work in fulfillment and vindication of His promises about the building of New Jerusalem and the establishment of Zion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe should be certain we will see Zion-because it's been promised, and it's been prophesied from the beginning of time. When father Adam prophesied (being overcome by the Spirit in the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman) and foretold what would happen to his posterity down to the latest generations, Zion was promised. And therefore, from the days of Adam on, all of the holy prophets have looked forward to that as the essential moment in the history of the world-because Christ will come and will redeem the world. It will be the end of the wicked; it will be the beginning of something far better. That's been the hope. That's been the promise. That's been what they've looked forward to. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wonder how many of us share that same longing, that same hope, that same desire that Adam had in the beginning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have an opportunity. We have a bonafide, actual offer from God to allow us to be that generation to fulfill the promises. But we have the freedom of choice that allows us to elect to fail. We can also be severed, contentious, agents of disruption, and choose to discourage and break the hearts of our ancestors, just as generations before us have done. Today there are those living who would willingly accept the challenge to repent and follow God if we can send the Lord's invitation to them in humility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZion won't be composed of people who are presided over by anyone other than Christ Himself. As between one another, they're brothers, and they're sisters, and they're equals-having one heart, having one mind, and having all things in common-because there is no one who can exert control or authority over another. That's what we seek; that's what we're working for. However clumsy, however awkward, however difficult it may be for siblings to get along as they grow up through their childhood and adolescence, that's exactly how the people that will form Zion are going to begin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe need to be willing to accept truth from wherever it comes. Some generation, at some point, still has a glorious, promised completion to anticipate. Why not now? Why not us? All that is required is to repent and return. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we move along the path towards what is inevitable at this point (that is, the coming of the Lord and the establishment of a place of peace-a city of Zion and a New Jerusalem), more information needs to be in the possession of those who will find themselves there. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe culmination of the ages will require us all to face the conflicts, the unease, the anxiety, or (what the Lord described as) the distress of nations with perplexity (see Luke 12:17 RE). The paradoxes and perplexities will require us all to charge ahead-like Job's horse-to the battle. A final conflict may still be comparatively afar, but it is coming. It can be seen in the news, media, politics, and society of our day. It creeps ever closer and is even now only held at bay by the providence of heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a time to prepare. We are now in a season to reclaim and restore incomplete gospel understanding. These are precious moments that need to be well spent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovember 30, 2020 Denver C.

These lectures were transcribed and edited, and footnotes were added, to create the transcripts contained in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was apparent to me that what Joseph Smith began, and what remained of Joseph's work in 2013, were not the same. Despite praying for the Lord to do something to stop the erosion of the faith, things only deteriorated further. At length the Lord instructed me to do something about it. I was sent by the Lord to preach the restoration so others would also have things brought to their remembrance. The ten talks were done to fulfill that calling from the Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first nine talks were revealed to me in outline form before the first talk in Boise, Idaho was given. But the final talk remained a mystery to me. No matter how much I inquired about what the final talk should include, no answer was given and no direction was furnished. After giving the ninth talk in St. George, Utah on July 26, 2014, that night the content of the final talk was revealed. When I learned the content I believed it would be offensive and rejected by almost all who came to hear it, and I asked repeatedly for the Lord to change the message. Even when flying to the venue in Phoenix, I prayed en route that the talk could be changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust because I deliver a message it does not mean I want to deliver it. A person could read or hear everything I have made public and still have little understanding of who I am. I have referred to myself as a servant and very much feel that is my only role. I am subordinate to someone else who deserves the credit for anything good I have declared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA great deal remains to be done before the Restoration can be completed, but first we must remember what we were given through Joseph Smith. The talks and book were intended to be a vital first step in restating the Restoration. Since the conclusion of the talks in 2014 a great deal more has been done. Just as the main trunk of Mormonism (the LDS church) has been devolving, so has the effort of recovery been evolving. There are many scattered fellowships of believers who now practice a more authentic, more original form of Mormonism than existed in 2014. Mormonism has indeed begun a new phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEDITOR'S NOTE: Relevant themes and topics covered in this book series include: Christian faith, theology and evangelism found in various bibles; sermons on Christology, fundamentalism and the mission and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, Elijah and Moses; living a gospel centered religion, spirituality, eschatology, temple worship, the roles of men and women in various denominations and sects including the latter day saints church; religious education, studies and literature; how God and Mary fit into LDS Mormon Christianity; spiritual gifts, commandments and being saved by faith in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52351795888401,"sku":"NLS9781951168520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756931838225,"sku":"NIN9781951168520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781951168520.jpg?v=1758181315"},{"product_id":"teachings-of-denver-c-snuffer-jr-volume-8-book-denver-c-snuffer-9781956909302","title":"The Teachings of Denver C.
