LDS: Death is Like the Loss of an Arm

 August 17 – John 8:44; “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Notice how Jesus says death (aka, murder) comes from the devil…see vs 40-44.  Compare it with what’s taught for today’s LDS lesson. Whom do you believe – Jesus, or Mr. Madsen?

We’ll put this in our Worst of the Worst Mormon Quotes for obvious reasons. For more info on Madsen, see Rewarding Blasphemy.

“Death, like all events, is lived through. It is comparable to the loss of an arm, and that is temporary.  Suicide is just a change of scenery.”  Truman G. Madsen, Eternal Man, [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1966], 26.
