‘For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.’ 1 Peter 3:17
General Conference, ‘Conversion to the Will of God’, April 2022 “A personal conversion includes the responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. Conversion comes by understanding and accepting the will of God.
A testimony will be strengthened with the knowledge that Joseph Smith was an instrument in the Lord’s hands. The Doctrine and Covenants provides the keys, ordinances and covenants necessary for salvation. But many are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it.” — Quentin L. Cook
John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Jeremiah 31:33-34 “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Although there are numerous concerns in Mr. Cook’s talk at GC for now, we’re looking at two main issues.
The first problem in the LDS quote above is how Mr. Cook made the wrong determination of God’s will.
There’s nothing in the Bible stating it’s God’s will for us to know He sent Joe Smith. In fact, Jesus told us it’s God’s will to know He sent His Son!
The second problem is Mr. Cook’s lie is when he said many are kept from the truth because they don’t know where to find it.
God had already told us that He placed His law into our hearts providing the means for everyone to know Him.
People the world over saved and unsaved have always known they can read the Bible to find out what God wants. This man makes it sound like no one’s ever heard of the Bible much less God Himself.
Finally beloved, the words of Paul should be kept in mind —
‘And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.’ Romans 12:2
Please, pray for those who believe this man’s treacherous lies. Also, don’t forget to share the truth with a Mormon today!
With Love in Christ —
