Billions of people complicate researching and learning which Church truly belongs to Jesus Christ. But it's really quite simple. The Lord caused
His DOCTRINES to be written about in The Scriptures. Churches which claim to be The Lord's Church but do not contain ALL of His
Doctrines in the scriptures are liars and the fulness of the truth about exaltation and eternal life is not in them.
The only way a Church can be The Church of Jesus Christ is for that Church to have ALL OF THE DOCTRINES OF JESUS CHRIST
as found in The Scriptures in it. The fulness of the scriptures is not about the "common salvation" [Jude 1: 2 - BIBLE] or about
"the common faith" [Titus 1: 4 --- BIBLE] that most people limit themselves to and want to study and seek after because they are
ignorant and spiritually-lazy souls - who want "salvation" to be easy, handed to them on a silver platter manner of speaking,
and allow them to sin a little here and sin a little there. The fulness of the scriptures and the Gospel of Jesus Christ itself
is about EXALTATION WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE. This is witnessed by Jesus Christ Himself in [John 5: 39-40 --- BIBLE] "Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have ETERNAL LIFE: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye
might have LIFE." Which goes along with our true definition of "FAITH" as found in [Titus 1: 1-2 --- BIBLE] (which we will include
below this explanation): "... and the acknowledging of the truth WHICH IS AFTER GODLINESS; In hope of ETERNAL LIFE, which God,
that cannot lie, promised before the world began;" It also goes along with the greatest most expounding and detailed writing on
EXALTATION AND ETERNAL LIFE in the history of the world: [Doctrine & Covenants 132], with the following being part of that
most excellent elucidation: "For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly,
without EXALTATION, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.
... but those who abide in my covenant, ... they, shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their EXALTATION and
glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a FULNESS and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever.
Then shall they be GODS, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue;
then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be GODS, because they have all power, and the
angels are subject unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my law ye cannot attain to this glory. For strait is
the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the EXALTATION and continuation of the LIVES, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT,
because ye receive me not IN THE WORLD neither do ye know me. BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, then shall ye KNOW me,
and shall receive your EXALTATION; that where I am ye shall be also. This is ETERNAL LIVES—to know the only wise and true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. I am He. Receive ye, therefore, my law. Broad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to
THE DEATHS; and many there are that go in thereat, because they receive me not, neither do they abide in my law." [ Doctrine & Covenants
132: 17-25 - paraphrased]
Although it can be an exhaustive study to list ALL of The Doctrines of Jesus Christ on the one hand; on the other hand,
if you find ANY Doctrine that is NOT a part of your own church or the gospel you believe in - then, the church that you worship at
(IF, you are truly willing to do as Paul exhorted you to do in 2nd Corinthians 13 verse 5 - BIBLE] "Examine yourselves,
whether ye be in THE FAITH; PROVE your own selves.") can make it easy to eliminate your own church as being the ONE TRUE Church
that Jesus Christ wants you to worship at, and claims as His Own Church. Please be wise and understand that Jesus has His Own Gospel
and Church that He teaches, and that He wants taught. "He that is not with me is AGAINST ME; and he that gathereth not with me,
SCATTERETH ABROAD." [Matthew 12 verse 30 --- BIBLE].
There are thousands of gospels in the world, but the common denominator is when they lack a DOCTRINE --- they are NOT HIS CHURCH! And
another common denominator is that when they do not teach EXALTATION AND ETERNAL LIFE AND GODLINESS --- they are NOT HIS CHURCH! BY
THESE 2 Common Denominators it is easy to recognize and know the True Gospel and The True Church of Jesus Christ.
It shall be the goal of this study to eventually list ALL of the Major Doctrines of The Bible and substantiate The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints by showing to you the reader that there is a similar Scriptural DOCTRINE, as the one or two or three scriptural DOCTRINES
which we've used FROM THE BIBLE - IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS. These Latter-Day "Witnesses" (or Scriptures) validate
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; but The Lord and I and the apostle Paul, expect you, at the same time, to
"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in THE FAITH; PROVE your own selves." "EXAMINE" AND "PROVE" your religion of your choice by either saying,
"Yes, this doctrine is in my church, too;" or by being humble and honest and willing to admit: "No, my church does not believe in this doctrine,
and I have never heard it mentioned in my religion." Can you do that? If you can, you will be able, by a process of elimination, determine
which Church is indeed The Church which belongs to Jesus Christ ... which Gospel is The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In this study, The 1st Witness (Scripture) will always be A BIBLE Scripture. Perhaps a 2nd Witness will also be a BIBLE Scripture. Maybe even
a 3rd. Whatever. But one of our main objectives is to "PROVE" to you that these Doctrines of EXALTATION AND ETERNAL LIFE are intrinsic and
inherent to The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints because IT is The Lord's Church! It is only basic and fundamental logic that
The TRUE Church of Jesus Christ will always AGREE & COMPLEMENT THE BIBLE. Whereas any church of man will disagree with the doctrines found
in The Bible. Once you "see" and "understand" that ALL of the doctrines of God HAVE TO BE IN HIS CHURCH, or it cannot BE His Church, you will
be well on your way to having no problem determining what is HIS, and what is not HIS! This is one of the main reasons why you cannot just rely
on The Bible by itself. The Bible was 2000 years ago! Although its teachings and doctrines are relevant and unchangeable, still they must be
carried forth to our day, and re-substantiated, re-validated with Latter-Day Scriptures. Some of you may not believe this re-substantiation
and re-validation is necessary, but The Bible itself bears witness of these Latter-days, and this "Dispensation of The Fulness of Times,
wherein ALL THINGS IN CHRIST ... might be gathered together iN ONE" [Ephesians 1: 10 --- BIBLE] meaning ONE CHURCH AND GOSPEL! The Bible itself also
bears witness of Latter-Day Scriptures needing to come forth in future times. We will eventually explore such scriptures and many other
doctrines of salvation, in order for you to see this miracle and continuity of witnesses (of which the scriptures are a huge and vital part of)
and believe that it is necessary for you to believe and allow God to "PROVE" that "IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES SHALL EVERY WORD"
[AND DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST' "BE ESTABLISHED." Therefore, after and even alongside Bible scriptures, we will "ESTABLISH" the doctrines of
The Bible using and re-enforcing them with Latter-Day Scriptures as well.
Generally after the 1st Witness (scripture), and perhaps a 2nd and even a 3rd Witness, we'll then compare it with a Latter-Day Witness or two.
On most topics we probably will limit it to two or three cross-references, but sometimes we get carried away and may cross-reference many
scriptures, as we've done in the first topic, The True Definition Of Faith, below:
