Elders to Meet in Independence and Titles, Offices

Jesse Adams, going to Kayak.com, obtaining rate for flight from SLC to Independence, round trip:  $200!  Astonishing.  Tentative decision to fly instead of drive, therefore, saving hundreds.  Logistics of getting Paul and Chris Congdon there to also partake of the ordinances, and to receive ordination.  Jesse also suggested visited the Church of Christ, Temple Lot, to reason with their elders on the doctrine of the One Mighty and Strong, that he is Art Bulla.  Agreed to meet today, the 23rd of Sept to further finalize these plans if possible.

Art then gave a short discourse on Titles and Offices of the Gods, reading from Joseph Musser's book, Michael, Our Father and Our God.

Titles and Offices

"We think enough is given to show that our references to God, Christ, Savior, etc., are used more frequently in referring to the office or title than to the individual. Here are some examples: “I am the Lord God Almighty, and endless is my name, for I am without beginning of days or end of years.”19 This can refer only to the office, for the individual occupying that position is not without “beginning of days or end of years.” He was born-begotten, as all human beings have been. But he came to occupy an office that has always existed and always will exist. He, while an occupant of that office, is said to be “without beginning of days or end of years;” and His name is “Endless,” because that office never ends, though He Himself may not always occupy it."
