False Prophecies of Mormonism Honesty Needed but Not Always

Gospel Principles, pg 203; “Complete honesty is necessary for our salvation. An Apostle of the Lord has said: “Honesty is a principle of salvation in the kingdom of God…. Just as no man or woman can be saved without baptism, so no one can be saved without honesty” (Mark E. Petersen, in Conference Report, Oct. 1971, p. 63; or

Ensign, Dec. 1971, p. 72).”

Boyd K. Packer, “The Mantle is Far, Far Greater Than the Intellect”, 1981, BYU Studies, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp. 259-271; “Church history can be so interesting and so inspiring as to be a very powerful tool indeed for building faith. If not properly written or properly taught, it may be a faith destroyer…There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not…Some things that are true are not very useful…Teaching some things that are true, prematurely or at the wrong time, can invite sorry and heartbreak instead of the joy intended to accompany learning.”

Colossians 3:9; “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.”

When we’re born again we put on a new self. 2 Cor 5:17 & Galatians 5:22. We walk in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit and not of ourselves. Our behavior therefore is a manifestation of what is going on inside of us. 

Why would these two men who are called apostles contradict each other and at the same time agree with each other’s statements?
