Righteous Cause Major Church Growth

Ensign, ‘The Role of Righteous Women,’ November 1979; “Finally, my dear sisters, may I suggest to you something that has not been said before or at least in quite this way. Much of the major growth that is coming to the Church in the last days will come because many of the good women of the world will be drawn to the Church in large numbers.  This will happen to the degree that the women of the Church reflect righteousness and articulateness in their lives and to the degree that the women of the church are seen as distinct and different–in happy ways–from the women of the world.” – President Spencer W. Kimball

Ephesians 4:14; “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”.

The false prophecy above comes courtesy of the Church’s 12^th prophet, Spencer W Kimball. He’s best known for his book ‘The Miracle of Forgiveness’ which most ex-Mormons view as the most dismal message of hope given by anyone. According to Kimball the thief on the cross didn’t receive forgiveness and neither did Mary Magdalene. 

Let’s take a look at what he said; 

‘Much of the major growth that is coming to the Church in the last days will come because many of the good women of the world will be drawn to the Church in large numbers.’ 

Not sure if there’s a typo in there or what, but either way there’s something inherently wrong with this theory. 

Mankind doesn’t come to God because they’re good. They seek out and submit to the Lord because they realize they can’t keep doing what they’re doing without Jesus. Besides all that the Bible tells us that no one is good! – Romans 3:10
