Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:7
General Conference, ‘Your Divine Nature and Destiny’, April 2022
1.“…we have heavenly parents, a father and a mother. ….”
This is a lie. We have One Heavenly Parent, not two.
2.The doctrine of a Heavenly Mother comes by revelation and is a distinctive belief among Latter-day Saints. …
This is also a lie. The LDS Church is NOT the only religion who believes they have a heavenly mother. See GotQuestions.org for more info.
3.President Dallin H. Oaks explained the importance of this truth: “Our theology begins with heavenly parents. Our highest aspiration is to be like them.”
Another lie. A believer’s focus is to have eternal life through knowing Him. John 17:3 reads — “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
4.Very little has been revealed about Mother in Heaven, but what we do know is summarized in a gospel topic found in our Gospel Library application. Once you have read what is there, you will know everything that I know about the subject.
I wish I knew more. You too may still have questions and want to find more answers. Seeking greater understanding is an important part of our spiritual development, but please be cautious. Reason cannot replace revelation. [emp. added]
Wrong! Reason better replace revelation when the ‘revelation’ is false!
Furthermore, why are they talking about this and at the same time telling members not to and why didn’t he just tell the audience what was in the Gospel Topics section? Because he wouldn’t give out the info, we will – here’s the link for Heavenly Parents.
5.Speculation will not lead to greater spiritual knowledge, but it can lead us to deception or divert our focus from what has been revealed.
This is yet another lie. Speculation can lead to greater knowledge. It’s nothing more than a ruse to confuse.
6.We follow this pattern and direct our worship to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ and do not pray to Heavenly Mother. …
One has to wonder why. If this so-called heavenly parent is worthy of mention, why not acknowledge it/her? Furthermore, they do NOT direct their worship toward the God of the Bible. They’re worshiping a false god.
7.This covenant path is the way we come unto Christ and is based on absolute truth and eternal, unchanging law.
This is a lie as well. We don’t come into a covenant relationship with Jesus through the means this guy has claimed. Romans 10:9 says that if we confess with our mouth we shall be saved. Besides all that, how would members know it’s the absolute truth if they don’t have all the info?
Sadly, our list above didn’t include all the lies in this man’s talk. We’ll have to reserve his other ungodly insights for another day. In the meantime, please, pray for those who listened to this man’s lies and for Jesus to remind them of His truth!
With Love in Christ —
