Without Disclosing My True Identity
And the king said that a seer is greater than a prophet, And Ammon said that a seer
is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have, except
he should possess the power of God, which no man can; yet a man may have great
power given him from God. But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of
things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall
secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things
which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made
known by them which otherwise could not be known.^8Revisionist History
Volumes of substantiating evidence could be (and have been) compiled to prove,
without doubt, that the LDS Church has revised its own history to conform to its
contemporary doctrines and precepts.^9 The beauty of the LDS Church’s so-called “modern-
day revelation”^10 is that anything that is said by Church authorities can conveniently negate
anything that was “revealed” in the past by other accepted “prophets, seers, and revelators.”
The LDS/Mormon leaders are not alone in their desire to rewrite and present history
according to how their institution “currently operates.”^11 The United States Congress is not
a “whit” behind them. Members of Congress, when sworn in, take an oath in which they
solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear
true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without
any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So
help me God.^12Then, by tradition, the Constitution is read aloud in the chambers.
In 2010, however, Congress—while reading the Constitution after swearing in the
new members—left out parts of the Constitution that were controversial in nature. Among
the sections omitted was Article 1, Section 2, which specifically excludes “Indians” and
describes slaves as “other persons” who were only “three fifths” the worth of a white
person, and a section of Article 4 stating that any slaves who escaped their captors should
not be freed, but “delivered up” and returned to servitude.^13
The 112th Congress of the United States of America would love to revise its history so
as not to include the fact that almost all of America’s honored Founding Fathers were
wealthy slaveholders.^14 The fact is, American history is also a “revised” history that only
presents facts that support its grandiose station as the “greatest nation on earth.”^15 An
honest and in-depth investigation into the true American history would present quite a
different view of America’s grandiosity. Its formation and establishment is far from what
Americans want to admit it has been. But Americans are satisfied with their pride and
patriotism; therefore, the real truth is not important to them.^16
Likewise, to the LDS/Mormon people, no greater blessing is perceived than being an
American member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.^17 To preserve the sense
of “honor” associated with being a member of the church, LDS/Mormon leaders have
boasted, “The most important history in the world is the history of our Church, and it is
the most accurate history in all the world. It must be so.”^18 Nothing, however, could be
