Family Home Evening Resource Book, pg 62; “After we are baptized we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion and guide if we live worthily and seek his help (see D&C 35:6, 121:46; Articles of Faith 1:4).”
John 14:18; “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
What purpose would it serve for the Holy Spirit to keep coming in an out of a believer’s life if/when they sin?
How would the believer always be in Christ if the Holy Spirit leaves at whim? How is the believer to have the HS to be his/her guide if perchance He isn’t there when you really need Him?
This teaching in the “family home evening” resource is a false prophecy. The Mormon Holy Ghost can’t be with someone all the time because 1. He’s not omnipresent and 2. The Doctrine and Covenants 130:23 and of course then there’s the third reason the Mormon Holy Ghost doesn’t/can’t reside inside females… 3. Brigham Young said so.
Journal of Discourses 1:51; “…—”if the Son was begotten by the Holy Ghost, it would be very dangerous to baptize and confirm females, and give the Holy Ghost to them, lest he should beget children,”
EEEWWWW!
How can they talk about the Holy Spirit like that?
You know, I found that quote by Brigham Young shortly after I got saved some 20+ yrs ago. It was actually one of the very first outrageous things I “discovered”. I can still see myself face down with outstretched arms on my living room floor begging God to forgive me for believing their nonsense after I read it.
If what Young said doesn’t make your stomach turn there’s something wrong!
How they can speak of the HS in that manner? Satan.
It is stomach turning. I experienced the same revulsion from the Catholic crapola I was forced to swallow as a child. Truly satanic. I did give your blog a nice plug on my last post. It is about the Mormon “church” reaching 15 million.
A good sign that an organization is a cult is when those who leave said organizations (you and me for example) all have very similar stories…hmmm…coincidence? Yeah, I didn’t think so!
I saw that – thanks! Yeah Melissa and I usually mull thru the speeches after every GC and decide what to write on. The membership #s are definitely going to be one of those articles this time around. I’m wondering…even tho they sent me my ex-communication papers if I’m part of that 15 million? Chances are pretty good that I am. 🙁
