Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
The words of this man are a far cry from the topic we posted on yesterday. Mormonism is a works based salvation so this makes Oaks’ talk a lie. How sad for those who’ve trusted him, and the countless other teachers who’ve led members down the wrong path.
Furthermore, the question begs to be asked … what about Joseph Smith’s inspired canon? The verse listed below shows the ambiguity in the teachings of Mormonism.
2 Nephi 25:23 “For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.”
My heart is sad for Mr. Oaks, and all their leaders. It’s a sad day when they’ve already rejected the truth, and then knowingly lied, or they still haven’t opened their hearts to Jesus. In either scenario, the lies still persist. Please, pray for the leaders, and especially for those who are ensnared in the mess.
With Love in Christ;
