Becoming as Gods
Articles of Faith, pg 70; “From Father Adam we have inherited all the ills to which flesh is heir; but such are necessarily incident to a knowledge of good and evil, by the proper use of which knowledge man may become even as the Gods.” – James Talmage
Genesis 3:5; “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Matthew 4:1, 10; “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
If ever there was a more evil teaching in this world than this I’d like to know what it is. Reading the words that came from this man’s mouth sends chills down my spine.
There is not now nor will there ever be a proper way to utilize the evil promptings of Satan. Remember our example is from Jesus, not Satan!
If you start reading at Genesis 1:1 it might take you five minutes to read on down to Genesis 3:5 to know there’s something wrong with Talmage’s teachings.
