“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” -Matthew 5:43-48 (see also 3 Nephi 5:90-92 RAV, 12:43-48 OPV)

How do we fill this hole in our lives? These feelings of loss, of emptiness, of loneliness; they come from the depth of our souls.

In the Latter Day Saint movement, the High Priesthood is known as the Melchizedek Priesthood for those that identify as male, and the Magdalene Priesthood for those that identify as female (Doctrines of the Saints 119:16).

In the Fellowship of Christ we have an open cannon. Our primary books of scripture are the Bible and Book of Mormon. These were unanimously accepted as scripture back on April 6, 1830. The 1835 version of the Doctrine and Covenants were added to our canon later in August of 1835. On April 6, 2019 the Book of Enoch, the Book of Avahr, the Book of the Law of the Lord, the Book of Remembrance, and other visions and revelations the Lord had given me were added by the vote of the Saints.
