October 1 –– Mormons Don’t Consider Jesus as Glory of God. Hebrews 1:3 “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

If anyone tries to proclaim God’s glory is anything but Jesus, run the other way!
We know from scripture that Jesus is the exact representation of God, and is the glory of God. Mr. Nelson’s words are teachings from a false prophet.
Moreover, we are only in a covenant relationship with God through adoption, regardless of our heritage. Jews and Gentiles alike are born with a sin nature and therefore, are in desperate need of a redeemer.
That redeemer is found in Christ alone, who is the glory of God.

“Be we reminded that the gathering of Israel is not the ultimate endpoint. It is but the beginning. The true endpoint is eternal life. It is that God’s children, in a covenant relationship with Him either by lineage or by adoption, will be able to dwell with Him and their families forever. That is God’s glory—eternal life for His children!”
— Russell M. Nelson, “Prophet, Apostles Speak at MTC Mission Presidents’ Seminar“, Church News and Events, June 29, 2012
