Tithes & Offerings & Taxation
21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, aRender therefore unto bCæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
24 ¶ aNo man can bserve two cmasters: for either he will dhate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and emammon.
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe and inherently Testify that we in essence are the emanating Restoration of The Literal Church of Jesus Christ.
Doing away with Mosaic Law, Fulfilled – And in Divine Manifestation – As an offering a “final,” sacrifice and atoned attributed to The “Garden,” of Gethsemane – Atoned, – Removing the law of Sacrifice, and offers a Law of Consecration – of which – “Recommended,” Members of His Kingdom – Are “endowed,” within divine covenant after “Initiatory.”
Simply: We are Initiates of a Sacred Divine Order; recipients of a Divine Covenant, Between Us and The Lord Jesus Christ:
To Whom I Testify: Is at the helm of The Church, In His Name.
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we do not emblematically accept the “Cross,” as in its emphasis is upon “sacrifice,” a law which in its entirety – fulfilled by “The Lamb of God.”
Ushering in anew, a Divine Covenant, Even, The New and Everlasting, Even: The Law of Consecration.
The term “Garden,” in its simplicity always implies the symbiotic relationship between man and “earth,” Man and Woman: Where Gender is emphatically paramount, and within Divine Covenant – Essential.
Within the aforementioned quoted scriptures:
It may seem to apply a choice between two choices juxtaposed.
Caesar (Government & God) : (Two – Masters)
Relative to the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil:
Correlated Measured upon A scale of Justice:
You may want to find an Equilibrium – Equally Measured – Balanced.
New & Everlasting Covenant - Celestial Marriage
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds The Authority and Keys to bind on Earth in Heaven.
The New & Everlasting Covenant is the reflection of The Divine Covenants within The “Garden” of Eden, through The “Garden” of Gethsemane.
Therefore those married within The Confines of our Temples:
Are Sealed for All-Time & Eternity:
Without Beginning or End: Infinite and Eternal:
According To Marital Vows Between Husband and Wife:
Upon The Rock of Thy Lord’s:
“At One Ment,”
Partakers of Salvation, unto A Plan of Happiness:
According to the measure to which:
The Fruits of Their Labors.
The Scale of Justice:
At:
Equilibrium:
Measured as a “feather” upon Angels wings:
Divine – One Flesh.
The Law of Consecration
The Law of Consecration recognizes a willingness to give everything we have with an unselfish desire that The Most important thing is each other – Husband and Wife, Priesthood and Motherhood.
The Law of Consecration recognizes that there is no such thing as two-masters, no such thing as separation between church and state.
Regardless of our ignorance:
Secular or Spiritual:
Everything we do is of divine measure.
Secular Taxation, or Tithes of a spiritual offering:
Everything we give:
Is ultimately consecrated unto God.
