Actually it is the Spirit which causes the stupor of thought and the forgetting. That means that the Spirit really is present, but works within us like ebbs and flows, presenting and subtracting feelings and thoughts. Thus, stupor of thought is not a true condition of the Spirit being absent.” — Errol R. Fish, 1990
2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”.
Today’s LDS reference is a great example of why Mormons are confused. Mr. Fish earned a PhD, and in the preface of his book he mentioned that he’d always been active in the Church. However, when he got to the mission field, he realized he knew nothing on how the Mormon holy ghost worked.
Sadly, it looks as if he still didn’t know years later when he wrote his book.
The Good Lord doesn’t operate in a world of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33!
Dictionary.com defines stupor as the ‘suspension or great diminution of sensibility, as in disease or as caused by narcotics’.
There’s nothing in the Bible indicating God works this way – this man’s words are an egregious lie from Satan.
Please, when you witnessing to a Mormon, remember the LDS reference above!
