Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.

[LogMafia]

One of the most well known scriptures in the Doctrine and Covenants D&C 121: 37 seems to have a pretty big error in it's language. The definition of amen is -used to express solemn ratification (as of an expression of faith) or hearty approval.

So is God trying to say that "... when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn," we express agreement or approval "to the priesthood or the authority of that man."

I think I might need to rethink how I magnify my priesthood from now on.

Admittedly I've had night cap, but I have no idea what this post is about. Is it going to make sense to me in the morning?

I don't know what credibility has to do with it, I just thought it was an interesting error in the D&C, that I have never noticed before.

If post count = creditibility then most people on this board would take DDD seriously.

Is it an error? It strikes me as sort of like saying something is bad when you mean it's good. Unless you mean it's bad, of course. But we almost always can tell the difference.

You're missing the real issue here: God missed out on the perfect opportunity to use "adieu" in Mormon scripture again.

I laughed out loud on that one. Heaven forbid someone have a life outside of an internet message board.

But that means "to God" or "with God" and so would create confusion again (I guess).
