“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16
Liahona, ‘Grow into the Principle of Revelation’, January 2021 “When we couple increased purity and obedience with fasting, diligent 
seeking, study of the scriptures and the words of living prophets, and temple and family history work, the heavens will open. The Lord, in turn, will fulfill His promise: “I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind” (Doctrine and Covenants 11:13).
We may need to be patient, but God will speak to us in His own way and in His own time. … May we put our faith into action, calling upon Him, living worthy of His promised inspiration…” —— Russell Nelson
Psalms 127:1 “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”
John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
Hebrews 1:1-2 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds”.
There are a number of reasons why Mormons shouldn’t trust their prophet – the 3 verses listed above are just the beginning of why. The rest of the Bible also serves as a great example.
A laundry list of reasons not to trust Mr. Nelson is listed below and can be found in the Liahona article noted above.
For the sake of brevity, we have just one question …
Where does it say those in biblical times had to fulfill all of Nelson’s requirements before God would speak to them?
Jeremiah, King David, and Moses are just a few people that come to mind. None of those men were living up to Nelson’s standard and God used them to reveal His message for at least 4,000 years!
Since this topic is such a major focus for church leaders right now, be sure to share the truth with a Mormon you know!
Mr. Nelson’s list of requirements is nowhere to be found in God’s word!
spend time in the presence of God
put faith into action
act on guidance ‘we receive’
call on Him
worthiness required
daily repentance
daily effort
daily improvement
strive for increased purity
obedience required
fasting
diligent seeking
study the scriptures
study words of living prophets
temple and family history work
remember the pattern the Prophet Joseph Smith set for us
pray
record impressions

The Pharisees had nothing on Russell. To my understanding, Jesus Christ was the perfect sacrifice for sin….no more temples needed. Did Nephi wear underwear with markings? Did the Israelites? I was taught the LDS church was the restoration of that which existed while the Lord walked the earth. It is so convoluted. Thank their lucky stars that they have a ‘paid clergy’ to straighten out all the kinks. The true gospel of our Lord and Savior is pure and unchanging and needs no one to explain the myriad alterations.
I don’t see any light in him, except for “gaslighting”. He knows the truth.
Now here’s where is turns a little weird…I was born with a heart defect, and I had open heart surgery to correct the defect when I was 39. From what I understand Dr. Nelson helped develop the heart/lung machine….so thank you Dr. Nelson??? I’ll respect him as a doctor, but not as a (false) prophet.
If Nelson was a true profit👈(not misspelled). If temple work is so important to their god, wouldn’t god have warned him about covid-19, a year or so before the shut down? So they could keep the temples open 24 hours around the clock, so they could get in as many baptism in as possible?
And to tell Nelson to use a good chunk of all the billions they’ve stock piled, to prepare for the up and coming pandemic?
