‘Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.’ — Isaiah 7:14
Whether your voice is young or old, we can all join the angels who sang rejoicing on that “silent night” so long ago, even as we look forward to the day He will come again.
I love you all and wish you “heavenly peace,” not only at Christmas but every day as we strive to walk the path of discipleship.” — Russell Nelson

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Luke 1:31, 34-35 “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”

Mr. Nelson’s solo piano recital sounds innocent enough but don’t be fooled because it’s nothing but a ruse to confuse. This man has spent 100+ years telling lies about a number of things including Jesus, the Bible and Christianity to name a few.
For Nelson the birth of Jesus was anything but divine. If he truly believed that he’d denounce Brigham’s blasphemous statement that Jesus wasn’t begotten by God’s Holy Spirit
Journal of Discourses 1:51 “…remember…that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost…—if the Son was begotten by the Holy Ghost, it would be very dangerous to baptize and confirm females, and give the Holy Ghost to them, lest he should beget children…”.

Anyone who’d embrace this evil theology is lying in wait to deceive as it says in Eph. 4:14 and not looking out for your best interest.
For more info on this topic see article What Do Mormons Think of the Virgin Mary? where LDS leaders denounce what God has said in His word.
Furthermore, Mr. Nelson doesn’t believe Jesus is God incarnate! The name Jesus and His title Christ means HE alone saves which means the Church can’t.
Lastly, don’t overlook his last statement of wishing you ‘heavenly peace’ while striving to ‘walk the path of discipleship’.
The hidden message in those words means you must obey the Church (aka Nelson).
I realize this article sounds harsh. My heart hurts for those who believe the lies of this man. However, the hurt in my heart pales in comparison to what Jesus must be going through.
Please, pray for those who believe what this man has said, and that Jesus will intervene!
With Love in Christ –
