  1. A Principle with a Promise Khinckley1@yahoo.com

  2. Texas Limousine

  3. Grace Cathedral The Grace Cathedral in San Francisco has combined the current church with a pagan symbol. Much like what happen in the first century church- combining true doctrine with others.

  4. Roots of the Apostasy The Pure Gospel Greek Influence “Body is everything” Docetists “Body is Evil”

  5. The Apostle Paul 1 Cor. 6 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? … 17 …he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

  6. Bodies and Temples

  7. How we “physically” prepare to go the temple?

  8. Joseph Smith We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the Celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man and when cast out by the Savior he asked to go into a herd of swine, showing that he would prefer a swine’s body to having none. (TPJS, p. 181)

  9. Feb 27th, 1833School of the Prophets 1 A Word of Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion— 3 Given for a principle with promise… 4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

  10. The Promise 18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones; 19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;

  11. Heber J. Grant "No man who breaks the Word of Wisdom can gain the same amount of knowledge and intelligence in this world as the man who obeys the law.  I don't care who he is or where he comes from, his mind will not be as clear, and he cannot advance as far and as rapidly and retain his power as much as he would if he obeyed the Word of Wisdom." (CR, Apr 1925)

  12. Section 89 Cont 20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint. 21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen

  13. Russell M. Nelson The Word of Wisdom is a spiritual law. To the obedient He proclaimed: “I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them.” At the first passover, the destroying angel did pass over houses that were marked with blood on the doorposts. In our day, the faithful keep the Word of Wisdom. It is one of our signs unto God that we are His covenant people.
