Do you think that mortal sons of God, after having tasted of the glories and beautiful realities of sonship with Father through faith can ever apostasize or turn iniquitous? Can truly enlightened mortal sons who have accepted son-ship ever reject Father after having known of His sweet will and unending glories? I think that apostasy (iniquity) of such deadly nature can only be exercised by heavenly enlightened creatures and not mortals.

Please, about the religions of authority: the LDS( Church of Jesus Christ) have it that Jesus has restored the original organisation as it was of His ministry through them. Something He did through Joseph Smith. Upon enquiries, I've found out that they have the same set-up as it was in the days of the Master. The 12, the 70 etc. The land of Ephraim, they claim is America and if so all must gather into this brotherhood (church of Jesus Christ of LDS) since Ephraim was Israel's successor. I am confused. What do you say about this please? I am just concerned because, the message which they have, if heeded to, will help unite the spiritual brotherhood which is in so much confusion now on earth. Jesus also said in the gospels that when we become one, then will the world come to the point of knowing that He is indeed the Son of God. This gathering together, I believe, could be spiritual or the physical gathering into one. Already many around the world have converted into this brotherhood. Please what do you think? Thank you.
