March 12 — Brigham Young: We Preach Doctrine of the Bible. Journal of Discourses 14:200 “The doctrine that we preach is the doctrine of the Bible, it is the doctrine the Lord has revealed for the salvation of the children of God, and when men, who have once obeyed it, deny it, they deny it with their eyes wide open, and knowing that they deny the truth and set at naught the counsels of the Almighty.” — Brigham Young, Ogden City, June 3, 1871.

Brigham Young is a poster child for false prophets. The best way to tell if he was lying is if his lips were moving because he couldn’t tell the same story twice.
In the reference above from 1871 Mr. Yong told people that the Church’s doctrines all came from the Bible.
This is a lie and totally different from what he said in 1853 when he declared he had banished the Bible stories his mother taught him as a child. For more info see Journal of Discourses 2:6.
We can’t know where his heart was when he passed away. However, we can know that what he taught was flagrantly wrong during his tenure as a prophet.
For someone of his stature it’s tragic that so many people have believed him – my mother included.
The last thing we know for sure is that the Church does not preach doctrines from the Lord’s word. If they did, we wouldn’t be posting on this today. I’ve been in ministry for 30 years and haven’t found anything they espouse that is biblical.
Please pray for the Mormon people to stop and think about the lessons they’re taught when they open their books and/or walk into their ward buildings!

It sounds like they have lied so much they start believing their own lies. So sad. Prayers for them all.
