New Era, ‘Hope of Israel’, June 2018 “Think of it! Of all the people who have ever lived on planet earth, we are the ones who get to participate in this final, great gathering event. How exciting is that!
Our Heavenly Father has reserved many of His most noble spirits—perhaps, I might say, His finest team—for this final phase.
Those noble spirits—those finest players, those heroes—are you! Worldwide Youth Devotional June 3, 2018.” — Russell Nelson
1 Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”.
Mr. Nelson’s false promise was a repeat of other LDS leaders over the years. I discovered a couple of these at the pro-LDS website, AskGramps.org.
Included in his list were talks given by Joseph Fielding Smith in 1970, and Spencer Kimball in 1976. These are the talks I remember as a kid. My generation was the ultra-elite, according to those two men. It’s been 50 yrs. since those talks were given.
Isn’t a generation 40 years? Furthermore, what about those in my generation who were told the same thing?
Share the truth with a Mormon you know! Start with the fact there’s no such thing as a pre-existence. 1 Cor. 15:44-47.
Lastly beloved, why would it be okay to tell kids they are God’s heroes?
With Love in Christ;
Michelle
