The kingdom that the Almighty will set up in the latter days will have its officers, and those officers will be peace. Every man that officiates in a public capacity will be filled with the Spirit of God…” — Brigham Young, Great Salt Lake City, July 31, 1859
Jeremiah 31:31, 33 “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
How could all men be filled with the Spirit of God if Joe Smith declared God isn’t omnipresent?
Moreover, Brigham clearly contradicted himself, and the Bible. How can Mormons trust what he said if he can’t get his story straight? The Bible also tells us that God came here in the flesh – John 1:1, 14.
This has to be one of the worst things Mr. Young taught. It’s shocking they’ve named a university after the man. Continue to pray Mormons will see the contradictions in these things, and turn to the Lord instead of the lies! This is truly one of the things that draws people away from the Lord, not to Him.
It’s heartbreaking to see how they’re still buying into the lies. Not having the comfort of knowing God is inside of you is a sign you’re not a true believer which makes for a lonely life.
With Love in Christ;
