The Prophet Joseph said:
“Adam holds the keys of the dispensation of the fulness of times; i.e., the dispensation of all the times that have been and will be revealed through him from the beginning to Christ, and from Christ to the end of the dispensations that are to be revealed.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith [Deseret Book Co.: 1961], pp. 167–68.)
At the age of 14 this boy exercised such great faith that he was given the privilege of beholding the greatest vision ever recorded in the annals of scripture. … Can you now begin to see the greatness of Joseph Smith’s mission? Each of these prophets may have held only a few keys of the gospel. Now he was receiving all the keys that had ever been on the earth.” — Jerry C. Roundy
Luke 17:2 “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
Matthew 23:12 “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”
Today we’re seeing another example of how the Church has a misplaced adoration for the Lord. Tragically, they’re sending the message that Smith is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and have totally snubbed all the miracles God has performed throughout time.
Where is Jesus in all this?
As you can easily see, their indoctrination methods start early. The target audience is for the 12-18 year old youth group.
The number of fallacies in this LDS reference is one of the worst we’ve seen. Be sure to pray for those in the Church, young and old alike!
As an FYI, Mr. Roundy was a professor at BYU.
