Mormon Dilemma 253

Contradictions from the Leaders

Prophet’s Spoken Words Are Scripture

D&C 68:2-4; “And, behold, and lo, this is an ensample unto all those who were ordained unto this priesthood, whose mission is appointed unto them to go forth—And this is the ensample unto them, that they shall speak as they are moved upon by the Holy Ghost.  And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation.”

Not Every Statement is Doctrine 

“Not every statement made by a Church leader, past or present, necessarily constitutes doctrine. A single statement made by a single leader on a single occasion often represents a personal, though well-considered, opinion, but is not meant to be officially binding for the whole Church.”  http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/approaching-mormon-doctrine

1 Corinthians 14:33; “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

Once again they’ve gone out of their way to mislead, confuse and control. How many times do they need to contradict themselves before the adherents finally get a gut full of the lies?  Is this what you expect from the God you worship or do you expect something more?  I know that in my everyday life I want and need consistency.  If I can’t have that huge assurance in life then I have nothing.
