D&C 78
The Lord introduces an "order" under the "law of consecration" that it was to be -
"...independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world..." (Doctrine and Covenants 78:14)
In my mind, not controlled by earthly governmental laws or corporations.
It falls under the law of consecration which is for -
"...the salvation of man, and to the glory of your Father who is in heaven;
5 That you may be equal in the bonds of heavenly things, yea, and earthly things also, for the obtaining of heavenly things.
6 For if ye are not equal in earthly things ye cannot be equal in obtaining heavenly things;
7 For if you will that I give unto you a place in the celestial world, you must prepare yourselves by doing the things which I have commanded you and required of you." (Doctrine and Covenants 78:4–7)
Where His equality is defined as -
"...equal according to his family, according to his circumstances and his wants and needs." (Doctrine and Covenants 51:3)
