CHAPTER 3

41-50

 

41 Such sentiments led him to deliberate sin when Cain finally rejected the counsel of God and set out to murder his brother. Thus, such feelings were contrary to these, which were once instituted by God to be sentiments that govern the highest celestial characteristics in the sons of Adam, and with them, righteous men in the flesh, can control the priesthood of God1.

(1) RLDS 1Nephi 5:144-147/ LDS 1Nephi 17:45

 

42 These same feelings were established even before the foundation of the world to interact with the human sensibility, so that the children of men, even without the priesthood of God, can identify in midst of their fleshly nature those good feelings that proceed from God to guide them in the way of justice and charity1.

(1) RLDS D&C 9:3b-3c / LDS D&C 9:8

 

43 But, since Satan has interposed in the human heart an emotional parallel that leads the children of men to confuse the noble divine feelings with the mere desires of their hearts, men end up exchanging the excellence of right motivation with regard to the pure sentiments derived from the fruits of the Holy Spirit that is in the gospel of the Only Begotten of the Father, by a fleeting sense of greatness in his way of feeling and thinking, which ultimately corrupts his magnificence before the heavens, desecrating his true nature in a fallen and degrading condition that will lead man to a continual endeavor to satisfy his need for happiness, by a deception designed by the enemy in their hearts1.

(1) Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9-10

 

44 However, true happiness comes from within, and proceeds from the light emanating from the Holy Spirit and not from things that temporarily fill the void that causes men to lack true knowledge in their way of feeling4.

(1) Luke 24:32; Galatians 5:22-24

 

45 It so happened that God made Cain to know what Satan knew beforehand, that his offering would be rejected, and would rejoice with it. Further, God told many things to Cain concerning his errors, and warned him about his course, and that he would be accepted again by the Lord, if only he would withdraw from nourishing these evil feelings and return to do good in relation to his brother Abel1.

(1)Galatians 5:25-26; RLDS Genesis 5:9 - Inspired Version of JS; D&C 9:3c-3d / LDS Moses 5:23; D&C 9:8-9

 

46 But Cain loved Satan more than God because Satan promised to serve his personal interests, but in exchange Cain would have to make his brothers worship him, engendering secretly the Devil's deception together with the truth of God in order to appear as close to the precepts that the children of Adam had received to identify the truth of the Father1.

(1) 1John 2:7-8, 24-27

 

47 And so Satan proposed to work through Cain great signs and wonders to deceive everyone as possible, and to gain an active power among the children of men that equates with the priesthood of the Son of God, which was given first to Adam and his righteous offspring after him, because just as happened to Cain, all those who choose to follow the precepts of Satan will also lose the power of the priesthood, and with this, Satan will have full power over the children of men who are deceived by their rise and priestly deception.

 

48 It happened, then, that Satan swore loyalty to Cain, just as Cain swore by his own life, that neither he nor his brethren who would rise after him in the priesthood order proposed by Satan, would reveal the secrets of this order to the righteous sons of Adam. With this, Satan proposed to Cain to deliver Abel into his hands and to take possession of all his flocks and goods and to make him supreme master in the order of the priesthood Mahan, whose source of power comes from the Devil. However, Cain would have to shed Abel's blood in confirmation of the covenant established with Satan1.

(1) RLDS GEnesis 5:14-18 Inspered Version of JS / LDS Moses 5:29-33

 

49 Happened then, that after Cain deliberately disobeyed the guidance of God and consequently killed Abel, that God cursed him saying: While Abel justifies my plan in the land to have righteous descendants of the priesthood in relation to my offspring, you, Cain, justify the offspring of the original serpent, Satan the devil, for he became a perdition to the sons of men, for he is wiser than you to deceive you, because this one was full of wisdom before there was Eden, because he existed even before the foundation of the world1.

(1) RLDS Genesis 5:10 Inspired Version of JS / LDS Moses 5:24; Ezekiel 28:12-17

 

50 And so, from the dawn of time, Cain and Abel foreshadow the two priestly castes in relation to the wicked priests of the Mahan class and the righteous men of the priesthood of the Son of God, that exist from the beginning and will exist until the end of time. Just like me, Moses, could see with my own eyes the similar power of the Mahan priests from Egypt in relation to the priesthood power of the Son of God resting upon me1.
