July 22 – We Can’t Have It Both Ways! Deut. 18:22; “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him”.

The Mormon apostle Bruce McConkie has agreed with what God said about false prophets in his General Conference speech he gave in October of 1980. The funny thing of this is that the Mormons will tell you when one of Smith’s prophecies didn’t come to pass, he was simply speaking on his own, not the Lord’s authority. You can’t have it both ways!
