November 20 — “My Words . . . Never Cease,” Ensign, May 2008, 91 “Some Christians, in large measure because of their genuine love for the Bible, have declared that there can be no more authorized scripture beyond the Bible. In thus pronouncing the canon of revelation closed, our friends in some other faiths shut the door on divine expression that we in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold dear: the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and the ongoing guidance received by God’s anointed prophets and apostles.
Imputing no ill will to those who take such a position, nevertheless we respectfully but resolutely reject such an unscriptural characterization of true Christianity.” – Jeffrey R. Holland

Well given what the Lord has revealed in His word it’d be hard to justify adding “another gospel” to what He’s already provided.
I also find it interesting how the words of this apostle have referred to Christians as “our friends”. The whole reason Mormonism was given birth to was because the body of Christ had turned into an enemy of Christ according to Joseph Smith.
They’ve begun to exchange their diatribe in for caressing compliments making their falsehoods easier to swallow.
I’ve always laughed at the phrase “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”, but in this case truer words have never been spoken. Watch out for the trickery!
If you’re LDS, please think about what God said in the Bible and cling to Him whose words will never change as it says in Isaiah 40:8 —
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”
Lastly beloved, the title of Mr. Holland’s talk is a ruse to confuse!
The title states ‘My Words Never Cease’. That can’t be true because Joseph Smith changed them!
With Love in Christ —

We put our faith in God, not their so called prophets. Prayers for all Mormons.
