False Prophecies of Mormonism Testing All Things

Testing All Things

“The Lighthouse of the Lord: A Message to the Youth of the Church,” New Era, Feb. 2001; “Should doubt knock at your doorway, just say to those skeptical, disturbing, rebellious thoughts: “I propose to stay with my faith, with the faith of my people. I know that happiness and contentment are there, and I forbid you, agnostic, doubting thoughts, to destroy the house of my faith. I acknowledge that I do not understand the processes of creation, but I accept the fact of it. I grant that I cannot explain the miracles of the Bible, and I do not attempt to do so, but I accept God’s word. I wasn’t with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.” – Thomas S. Monson

Acts 17:11; “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

While there are things we accept on faith such as how God created the earth, there is nothing in the Bible telling us we must accept contradictory stories of self proclaimed prophets. Mr. Monson insists we must accept the story of creation in the Bible and to an extent I agree with Mr. Monson. 

However, while he said this he doesn’t actually believe it. Mormons do not believe the word of God is translated correctly so this is a ruse. 

Furthermore, he can’t believe the Bible is correct and believe Joseph Smith’s story at the same time because those two things completely contradict each other.
