Articles of Faith 12






We believe in being asubject to bkings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in cobeying, honoring, and sustaining the dlaw.


We believe that we are to uphold the laws of the land.  Support the government of the country in which we resides in.  In some countries they have Kings, all members of the Church is to honor him.  Same goes for Queens as well. Subject means that we are to obey our governors of our own lands.  In some they have presidents, we are to do the same.  If we have judges, we are to uphold them as well.  When we vote, we sustain the governor, whether we agree with them or not.  We are not to organize boycott of the governor, for in doing so will sow discord and reap the whirlwind of anarchy.  Which is not of God.  God does not cause confusion.  We also do not affiliate ourselves with those that violate the laws.  We sustain the laws and support the peace officers.  We also support the military forces as they fight for our freedom.  We never do anything that will undermine the governor that we are under.  For in doing so will destroy the country that we are in.  As Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided against itself will fall.  Unity is very important in all things.

To expand a little more on unity.  I've talked about supporting those who are in the governor, that's called unity.  When we are unified, we are more stronger when we're working together.  So I will like to talk about an unified form of a high governor.  That governor is the Godhead.  Now, there have been many misconception about what the Godhead itself really is.  I will expand more upon it in another blog at some point in the future.  A Godhead have been said to be one.  What does "one" mean?  It means to be unified in one purpose and mind.  They are one because they are not divided against each other, but unified together.  It doesn't mean that they are one person, but they're three personages that work together.
