Ensign, January 1974, p. 126; “We have had some who, writing in the public press occasionally, are among those who have fallen by the wayside. They befoul the honored family names that they have. They have disgraced the honors that we had given to them in times past. They are trying to join the forces of the enemy against the work of the Lord. And we can say to them, as President George Albert Smith said to them, “Those who have will be forgotten in the remains of mother earth, and the odor of the infamy will ever be with them, but honor, majesty, and fidelity to God, exemplified by the leaders of this church and attached to their names will never die.” – President Harold B. Lee
Philippians 3:8-9; “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
1.Notice the words this man said; ‘they denounced the honors we had given to them…’
2.Why are the honors of men so important?
3.The so-called honors didn’t come from God, but the Church and for what they deemed worthy.
4.If apostates are forgotten then why are they talking about them?
5.The phrase ‘mother earth’ is from witchcraft which means it’s demonic so why is this guy using this phrase if he’s a Christian?
6.The only family name we as Christians need to worry about defaming is the one that God bestowed upon us – The Bride of Christ.
7.Mankind is but a vapor in the wind so how could their names never die? – James 4:14
8.Since when did Jesus get tagged with the title ‘enemy’? Those who left for Jesus aren’t following the enemy!
9.Since hell isn’t eternal in Mormonism how could the ‘odor of the infamy’ be with apostates forever?

Mormon Doctrine, pg. 349; “That part of the spirit world inhabited by wicked spirits who are awaiting the eventual day of their resurrection is called hell. Between their death and resurrection, these souls of the wicked are cast out into outer darkness, into the gloomy depression of sheol, into the hades of waiting wicked spirits, into hell. There they suffer the torments of the damned…Hell will have an end …”
