Quote The great Seth wrote this books with letters in 130 years. He placed in on the mountain that is called Chericol. This book is apparently to be brought out at the end time to reveal among other things this incorruptible holy race of the Great Savior and those who dwell with Him in love. We learn from other sources that the race of Seth or his descendants are considered to be the righteous descendants.   The Dead Sea Scrolls -- Possible Parallels to Mormon Doctrine and Practices Monday, 09 August 2004 Article Index The Dead Sea Scrolls -- Possible Parallels to Mormon Doctrine and Practices 1 - Prayer 2 - Restoration 3 - Church of Some Type 4 - Conclave 5 - Bishops and Presiding Bishops 6 - Godhead of Three 7 - Tithing 8 - Theology of History and a Plan 9 - Doctrine of Translation 10 - Restoration in Last Days 12 - Laying on of Hands 14 - Genealogy 15 - Tradition of Buried Records 17 - New Name and Key Words 19 - Patriarchal Blessings 20 - Temple to be Built in Last Days 21 - World to be Destroyed by Fire 22 - New Jerusalem 23 - Melchizedek 24 - Messianic Vision 25 - Urim and Thummin 26 - Zenos the Lost Prophet 27 - The Devil 28 - Baptismal Rites 29 - Assembly of Gods 30 - Elect of God 31 - The 10 Copies of Isaiah 32 - Two Witnesses 33 - Prophets Page 22 of 30 25. URIM AND THUMMIM: GASTOR, p. 21, states: "The brethren claimed that they were especially "enlightened" or "endowed with insight".

Moreover, the Brethren sometimes described this special illumination by the strange compound word Or-Tomm, literally, "Light Perfection" and this was simply a play on the Biblical Urim and Thummim of the high priest". << Prev - Next >> Last Updated ( Wednesday, 12 July 2006 )   < Prev   Next > [ Back ]
