October 18 — Couched in a string of ads and General Conference articles was an announcement by Elder Quentin Cook. He told everyone their god needs help with the 900,000 new converts and returning members they had acquired in the past 36 months. To read his note see Messages on belonging from October 2025 general conference Saturday sessions.
Our question today is something we’ve asked many times before.
Why are you worshiping a god that needs your help?
In the past they’ve said their god isn’t omnipresent so how could he be there if/when you need him?
See The god of Mormonism which is part of our series on Foundation of Mormonism. The Church has clearly stated their god is not omnipresent. The first person declaring this was no less than Joe Smith himself in Doctrine and Covenants 130:22-23.
It also seems odd they’re claiming that 900,000 people have either joined or come back to the Church. Just out of the blue they have 900,000 people.
Do you really think you’d stand a chance of this god hearing you?
Mr. Cook also said,
“Focus on the covenants necessary for exaltation…Gospel knowledge is not a saving ordinance; it is a blessing obtained incrementally over time.”

This short message in their long list of stuff they published was packed with more questions than answers.
Please pray for Mormons to start asking questions!

God doesnt need our help. We need God. Prayers for all Mormons to look to God not their leaders.

Boy if that isn’t the truth nothing is! I am eternally grateful that He saved me of all people!
Praise the Lord. I am glad to.

“Focus on the covenants necessary for exaltation… Gospel knowledge is not a saving ordinance; it is a blessing obtained incrementally overtime” .
Just this one quote has so many issues…where to begin.
Focusing on covenants for exaltation is putting yourself above and before God.
The true Gospel is not an ordinance, but if you trust and believe the Gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15 : 1-6, it is very much salvific.
And lastly it’s not a blessing obtained overtime. Rather, it’s obtained upon true belief, it’s not a process.
And remember, think celestial

Mr. Holland is so out of bounds on so many levels…
As you said, where do we begin?
I always go to the every day Mormon. Pray for the Lord to open their eyes!
[…] we pointed out in a post last week, God doesn’t need our help. This has to be one of the most dismal talks I’ve read in […]
