The Apostle Peter’s reminder to watch out for false teachers is an apt lesson 2,000 years later. At General Conference Dallin Oaks expressly declared Mormons must reject evil choices, but two LDS prophets proclaimed just the opposite. Here’s what Joseph Fielding Smith, and Brigham Young had to say about Adam and Eve –
Doctrines of Salvation 1:112 “DEATH FOR ALL LIFE CAME BY FALL. President Brigham Young has said: “Some may regret that our first parents sinned. This is nonsense. If we had been there, and they had not sinned, we would have sinned. I will not blame Adam or Eve. Why? Because it was necessary that sin should enter into the world; no man could ever understand the principle of exaltation without its opposite…The Lord knew they would do this, and he had designed that they should…”” — Joseph Fielding Smith
Our question today is this:
Which ‘inspired’ LDS leader would you believe? These men have demonstrated that none of them can be trusted. Lovingly share with the Mormon you know why the message Mr. Oaks delivered contradicts basic Mormon theology.
