THEOLOGY STUDY

A thorough handout allows you to not take extensive notes. Ask for the 40-day notes.  Between resurrection and ascension, Jesus Christ established all of the rites and ordinances.  He restored the Church of Jesus Christ, [then and now] and not one thing is new today.  

So many churches on the Earth hold eternal truths, as President Hinckley noted.  Our distinction is that Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ, took Joseph Smith, groomed him, and restored the FULLNESS of the Church of Jesus Christ, not just part.

Jesus Christ brought healing to mankind:  Light, Resurrection, and mainly Spiritual Healing.

Physically and spiritually, man can be healed. The message in Christ’s ministry is that he made us whole again. To repeat, if you want to know what was practiced then, just look today.  The women organization didn’t start with Emma Smith.  They knew about three degrees of glory, the Plan of Salvation, redemption of the dead, sacrament, receiving all that He has, home/visiting teaching, missionary work.  They had it all back then. 

After the Twelve were martyred, other religions splintered off.   Dr. David Wiley has written 115 pages on this:  Christ spent 40 days speaking of things about the Kingdom of God.  Gnosis means ‘secret knowledge’ which the Lord imparted during the 40 days.  [There is a lot.]

In addition to the Roman Church, others started splintering and they would take an element of truth and build a new church around it. 

We know Christ went back to the room of the Passover and taught the prayer circle.  The prayer circles are performed in holy places.  The purpose was to enter into the presence of God. It is to benefit the Saints in need.  It wouldn’t happen in the temple of the time, Herod’s temple.

[Handout review begins in the last 40 minutes]  The prayer circle symbolizes the entire universe, in motion, with our own galaxy circling around in Light.  The Father of Light is in the center, with man in orbit.  Remember the fine-art pictures; also Father Lehi and light.  It is called the cosmic rings and music of the angels. It is ancient and sacred.

The sun trajectory is to the bright center of the Milky Way galaxy.  What’s the symbolism?  

The Son of God moves us towards the Father [and exultation/Light.] 

[Reviewing the summations of noted authors, noting eight aspects of the temple prayer circle.]  At the time of Christ, men and women were not allowed to be together to pray, but with the 120 in Christ’s prayer circle, women were included. Jesus brought the Higher Law.  See Acts 1:9-14.  They went into the upper-room and continued in prayer with the women. Etc.

Jesus gave endowed saints a final ordinance of the Prayer Circle. They had to be endowed to be present in the circle conducted by Peter the head Apostle, leading the Church after Christ left.   It was the ‘forgiveness of sin’ at the veil.  It is by the power of the Son of Light.  It is the mystery of the inner Holy of Hollies.  — Dr Hugh Nibley.  See also D&C 132:19-20.

This whole study is to strengthen your knowledge and testimony.  Study the handouts.

Can people of the world comprehend The Forty Day Teachings, or just stop with resurrection?  After going through The Veil, the receiver is allowed to approach the innermost area of the Treasury of Light, where he/she will be given further light and knowledge. — Dr. Nibley.

Be a Defender of the Faith as religious liberties are threatened as before.  Prayer.
