Rodric believes Moroni included special instruction for Modern times and wants to share his unique perspective the same way Moroni shared in The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

The Easter Cross is Empty

The cross is now empty. God requires of us a sacrifice of service so that we may cover a multitude of sin. God requires us to pray in the name of Christ to Him for our support and that we perform nothing unto Him save we do it with prayer that He would prosper our work.


We are Christians.

We represent a mixture of teachings that go further than the mere claiming His name because of tradition or nationality. Ours is a way of life. We will ever be a giving and serving people.
Though some may claim to be one with us, our very demeanor will betray us to all around us. Though at times we will fall into sin, we are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ's atonement as we go before God the Father in faithful prayer and offer up our sins to him until we are purged of them never to return to us.
This is our calling as the children of Israel and adopted of Christ come together in recognition of our gratitude to our Savior and King who will come. We prepare the world one person at a time, starting with ourselves to receive Jesus Christ as the King of our lives and salvation.
Not only is there a vast number of Christians upon the planet that slowly take Christ's teaching around the world to prepare for his coming, Christ has established once again the full gospel message in its entirety and beauty through priesthood authority as in the days of Moses and the mortal ministry of Christ.
Those who are willing to bear the service of priesthood authority are welcomed to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as humble servants to the Lord. Christians with authority to act in the name of Christ, not only by his name alone, but in power by his very hand and authority will join with the world in peace until God can reveal all the truths of his glorious plan with all Christians living and dead--all people of all faiths living and dead--who seek righteousness.

Love One Another

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Those who are willing to bear the service of priesthood authority are welcomed to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as humble servants to the Lord. Christians with authority to act in the name of Christ, not only by his name alone, but in power by his very hand and authority will join with the world in peace until God can reveal all the truths of his glorious plan with all Christians living and dead--all people of all faiths living and dead--who seek righteousness.

Truth is Knowable

The cross is empty. Jesus lives and has appeared to many. He still lives and still appears to many.
Though most of us will stand for Him by faith through His Holy Spirit, Jesus rewards Christians with visitations as He sees fit to help with our faith of His triumphant return to rule the world in an era of peace and prosperity not known since the days of Enoch.
Until then. let us be humble and faithful. Let us listen to the voice of his prophets and preachers who teach
His word by the Spirit so that we may discern where He wants each individual Christian in order to properly prepare the World.
We will not all serve in one church or one faith, but we will be led by God through His Holy Spirit to which places to go and in which ears to speak to help all of God's children.
Christ only comes as a thief in the night to those who do not know Him. His servants, those Christians who watch for the signs and live by the principles, will know when He comes and not fear when we are caught up to met Him.
It is the privilege of every true Christian to know Christ and have an assurance of his or her salvation in a mansion in the Kingdoms of heaven. It is the blessing of every Christian to know how to help and love his or her family and neighbors as we learn to help and love ourselves. It is the joy of every Christian and good man and woman on the earth to know that Christ is the Savior because of all the witnesses He provides in records and people.
The Cross is empty and the God of the Earth lives.

Jesus Christ Similitude of Sacrifice


Garden of Gethsemane


Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was gloriously resurrected and appeared to many men and women as witness of his triumph over death. Not only did he appear to many, but many of the saints were raised from the dead also and appeared to many as a sign to all the world that what Christ taught in his short three-year mortal ministry was true!

Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses by conquering that great enemy of mankind, sin, by taking all sin upon him as he suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Scapegoat

Just as the ancient priest after the order of Aaron and Levi prepared the proxy scapegoat, the proxy sin offering goat and bullock as a representation of all the sins of the people of the House of Israel in Jerusalem at the temple, Jesus was the proxy scapegoat, sin offering goat and bullock, for all the sins of the people of humankind in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Once he took upon Him those sins, He was prepared to be sacrificed as was the proxy sin offering goat upon the alter of the temple; save He was sacrificed upon the cross at Calvary.
The blood of the sin offering was sprinkled upon the mercy seat in the temple as was Christ's blood dripped from the cross to the ground at Calvary for mercy to the world and bleed from each pore in the Garden.
The bullock's sacrifice and sprinkling was to cleanse the priest performing the ordinance for the people so that he would be pure as was Christ.
He willingly submitted His life as the animals submitted theirs and the priest his in service, because had He not, all humankind would be lost. He was the last official sacrifice authorized by God the Father until the end times in that manner.

The scapegoat was borne off to an uninhabited land after the priest pronounced the sins upon the goat by laying hands upon the head of the goat to separated the sins from the people forever--never to be with them again. Christ also carried the sins of humanity never to return it to us again.
Jehovah told ancient Israel to go to the temple and offer up sacrifice as a sign of his covenant with him or be cut off from the people. This was to be a token of their devotion to him and a sign of his forgiveness as the priests burned the fat from the offerings on the alter as sweet scents to heaven.
Christians are asked to accept Christ's sacrifice and offer up their lives in service unto God as a sweet scent to heaven as they are led by preachers and pastors or be removed from the book of life.
