Title :
The Jesus of the JST
Year :
1830, 1960
POI :
Rigdon
City :
Scripture Reference : Luke 14, Luke 16, Mark 13, Mark 7:10–11, Matt 11, Matt 13, Matt 24, Matt 4:18
Content :
The Jesus of the JST strongly endorses:the words of the Old Testament prophets: (JST Matt 11:14, 17:1011, 14; 24:46, 56; 27:12) their righteousness: (JST Matt 13;16; 21:32) their prophetic gifts: (JST Matt 24:3436; JST Mark 13:3940) the fulfillment of all their prophesies: (JST Matt 4:18; 24:3436; JST Luke 14:33; 22:16) and the importance of their missions: (JST Mark 7:1011, JST Luke 16:1617)
The JST make-over of Jesus Christ is consistent with Rigdons pre-1830 theology and with the account of Jesus in the Book of Mormon.
Notes :
These points are all drawn from the BYU MS thesis of Robert J. Matthews (1960).
