Yes, you are interpreting. To say you don't is illogical. If you don't then you aren't reading. You have a challenge that many do. You take verses out of context with the entire Bible. You do know that a "dead" Moses was at the Mount of Transfiguration, don't you. Dead people have made appearances as well in other occasions.
Then, you try to interpret that Peter, James and John are being worshipped because they laid their hands on Joseph Smith. That's just grasping for straws or a straw argument. I received the Priesthood from my Father-in-Law and I love him and respect him. But, I do not worship him. Do you even re-read your statements before posting your replies? No one worships Peter, James and John in our Church and never have. Perhaps in the Catholic Church they do elevating them to a special "Saint" status and pray to them as they do Mary. But, Joseph never worshipped anyone but Father in Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ. Uggg...
And what does Peter crucified upside down have to do on whether he will come back and restore the true Church of Jesus Christ?
First thing. Why do you continually deny presenting any documentation of any modern miracle by an Apostle of Mormonism......bringing the dead back to life? You cannot because there are no modern day Apostles and prophets. Their time has ceased.......they were for the founding of the N.T. church, with the Apostle clearly stating they would soon fail, when the perfect law of liberty was complete. It was completed in the 1st century. (1 Cor. 13)
There is no cure for a "reprobate" mind...........God has cast you out, given up on you when you blaspheme against the Holy Spirit of God and make claims that contradict His revealed words from the N.T. You call God a liar.......not me. You can pretend to be righteous, pretend to cast out demons, pretend to do good works in the name of Jesus, pretend/play to be Apostles (that existed only in the infancy of the churh -- When I was a child I spoke as child, I acted as a child, when I became a man (fully grown/developed, I put away childish things).......but when you practice "lawlessness".....a continual denial of the actual content of the Holy Spirit of Truth inspired Word of God. You will be rejected.
Your cult is not nothing but a group of Children in the eyes of God.........playing church, pretending to be something that you are not, Apostles and Prophets. You are infants in the word of God.......clearly its beyond your comprehension level to Rightly Divide the Word of Truth. Which is simple...........none of the Word of God contradicts itself.......its all inspired by the same Spirit of Truth. The way your cult pretends and play's church.......you contradict the Spirit of Truth with every breath you take.
No one is authorized to "interpret" the scriptures. The word of God reads the same for both you and I. Its objective when you read it without taking anything away from its contextual integrity, keeping everything in context depending upon the subject matter of the Chapter.
Present any post that I have presented where the Book, Chapter and Verse did not directly contract your fabricated claims of the dead coming back from Hades to lay hands on man in the 19th century (read Luke 16 and translate it to be anything different than the dead not being subject to come back to help the living) to Jesus Appearing to Joseph Smith to appoint him as an Apostle, when clearly Smith nor no modern man can meet the qualications outlined by Book, Chapter and Verse to be a true Apostle of Christ......with the primary prerequiste being they have witnessed Jesus' ministry from the beginning, even Paul met these qualification even if he was an enemy of the faith he was witnessing as Saul in the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
