Section 47-49

Got to be honest, I'm gonna focus entirely on section 49 because it blows my mind! The beliefs of the Shakers are so interesting and just out there that it fascinated my interest. Each belief was addressed by this revelation that was sent to the people from missionaries, but it says in the heading that it was rejected. Either way, we know for a fact several truths that were corrected.

First off, Christ won't switch genders when He comes back to earth, and that hasn't happened yet by the way (v7&22). He does not want us to be deceived about that by anyone claiming such nonsense, so just ask and ye shall receive (v23-26). 

I love that it speaks of marriage being ordained of God (v15) because I have several two sets of friends getting married this week!! I am so happy they have found their eternal partner and are getting sealed by the power of God in the Nauvoo temple. I look forward to the day I will make that commitment to whomever I am meant to be with. Until that day, I fully plan to continue to trust in my Savior and read the truths He tells us in the scriptures...like eating meat (v17-19).
