Can you guys remind us, as I understand it, and I never really read the book of Mormon through these eyes or the Doctrine and Covenants, can you guys remind us of the scriptures that speak the LDS scriptures or the New Testament scriptures that speak very directly to

you know, encouraging us to seek a personal relationship with and or a personal visitation from Christ. Just remind us.

The NC 931. What does it say? Approximately.

Well, it says it gives you an invitation to seek His face.

Tell you how to do it, the process of coming under Christ.

Okay, are you looking at Denver, are the New Scriptures produced? No, no, no, no, no, no, they're still.

Okay, they're not in print yet.

Okay, they're saying to the Lord, it shall come to pass to the every soul who forsake of His sins and come at them to me and call the thought of my name and obeyeth my voice and keepeth my commandments shall see my face and know that I am.

And some people would say, well, that means in the judgment and the second coming.

Well, then all you got to do is go to the DNC 76 and you go in and pick up a couple of verses, around 74 and 118. It says no in the flesh.

And then there's also John, the gospel of John. I believe it's a chapter 14.

But the pick one is, and I keep bringing up, the pick one is, Moses was trying to take all of Israel up the Mount Sinai.

He's not going to kill him and then say, see him in the spirit.

He's taking them up in the flesh up to Mount Sinai. He wants to do that.

And he tells you that the ordinances of the higher priesthood are going to make that available to the people.

Well, why is he talking like that? And then he comes down from the mountain and the people they don't want to do that.

And he says what the thing is is when the children of Israel fail to respond to the invitation to come into the presence of the Father, which is the fullness of the gospel.

They, Section 84 teaches you that this angered God, this causes his wrath when he extends an invitation to you and you refuse to accept it.
