TheChurchNews.com “The gospel of Jesus Christ does not change. Gospel doctrine does not change. Our personal covenants do not change. But over the years, the meetings we hold to communicate our messages do change and very likely will continue to change over the years.” — Dallin Oaks
2 Timothy 3:13-14 “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them”.
John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
My oh my. We’re not sure who Mr. Oaks is trying to fool but his lies are painfully obvious.
1.The Mormon gospel has changed and has done so since its inception thus the whole continuing revelation mantra they hold near and dear to their hearts.
2.The doctrines of Mormonism have always changed…see #1 listed above. One only needs to recall the polygamy and racial problems they’ve brought upon themselves.
Here are the links for two official declarations of how they’ve changed their doctrines.
3.The personal covenants have changed as well. Their temple oaths and endowments have evolved because they’ve had to accommodate societal changes that have come along. Blood oaths during temple ceremonies and touching private body parts to ‘bless’ the patrons are just two examples.
The list of changes made for just the temple ceremonies alone is shocking. Here’s a short list of what goes on in their temples.
Pre-1990 Blood Atonement Temple Oaths
Temple Initiatory and Endowment Ceremonies
Temple Ceremonies and the Clothing
Mormon Temple Veil Instructions
For more info on temple activities see Temple Endowment Ceremonies, Clothing and Oaths.
Please, pray for Jesus to intervene in the hearts of those who listened to the lies Mr. Oaks told and for them to have a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus and Him crucified.
With Love in Christ —
