President Nelson Stresses Importance of Jesus Christ in Church Name: “It Is His Church”

Nearly two months after his brief statement about the name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson spoke at length on the importance of the Church’s full name.

Speaking at the Sunday morning session of the October 2018 general conference, he quoted the 1838 scripture, given in the voice of Jesus Christ, that spells out the Church’s name: “For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

“For much of the world, the Lord’s Church is presently disguised as the ‘Mormon Church.’ But we as members of the Lord’s Church know who stands at its head: Jesus Christ Himself,” President Nelson said. “I realize with profound regret that we have unwittingly acquiesced in the Lord’s restored Church being called by other names, each of which expunges the sacred name of Jesus Christ!”

These nicknames include “LDS Church,” “Mormon Church” and “Church of the Latter-day Saints.” With each of these names, President Nelson said, “the most glaring omission is the absence of the Savior’s name. … When we discard the Savior’s name, we are subtly disregarding all that Jesus Christ did for us — even His Atonement.”

Thank you Jesus, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is our Savior's True Church. A true blessing to All who enter into the Holy Spirited Grounds. God Bless Thoughts and Prayers are with you, Dear Prophet.

President Russell M Nelson is a living Prophet of a Living God! I sustain President Nelson and support him. Jesus Christ is the head of our Church and it honestly should be emphasized that His name has been of our Church since the beginning of the Restoration of the gospel. It is His Church after all.

Fundamental. Thank You, President Nelson!

The world must be in a good place for divine revelation to be focused on religious rebranding.

The Prophet has spoken and we are to follow his counsel.

Interesting that you leave out the part about Satan rejoicing when nicknames have been used this entire time. This is the issue members and ex members struggle with believing it to be revelation.

So when will mormon newsroom update their name?

[danielketcham]

Change this youtube channel name to, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints Channel"

[jacobpacker]

So will you be changing the name of your YouTube channel to respect the name of the church?

[jacktorrance]

The Church must employ an army of Mormon media police in the Mormon headquarters of Salt Lake City Utah to filter out all the negative comments on this channel.

Alma 3:
10 Therefore, whosoever (suffered himself)( to be led away)( by the Lamanites )(was called )(under that head, )and (there was a mark)( set upon him.)
3 Nephi 27:
7 Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name; therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call upon the Father in my name that he will bless the church for my sake.
8 And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses’ name then it be Moses’ church(; or if it be called )(in the name of a man )(then it be the church of a man; )but if it be called in my name then it is my church, (if it so be )(that they are built )(upon my gospel.)
9 Verily I say unto you, that ye are built upon my gospel; therefore ye shall call whatsoever things ye do call, in my name; therefore if ye call upon the Father, for the church, if it be in my name the Father will hear you;
10 And (if it so be that the church)( is built upon my gospel)( then will the Father )(show forth)( his )(own works in it.)
11 (But if )it be not built upon my gospel, and (is built upon the works of men, )(or upon the works of the devil, )(verily I say unto you they have joy in their works for a season)(, and by and by the end cometh, and they are hewn down and cast into the fire), from whence there is no return.
This is the LDS church today! They have made friends with the World! And (marked themselves) with the Name of a Man.. unless we repent of our worldly walk.. We are not clean! We do not have the Holy Ghost nor the Authority which the Holy Ghost giveth to Act in the Priesthood.. this is a fact! We don’t have any priesthood!
In the name of Jesus Christ Amen!
