January 22 — Doctrines and Covenants 3:2-3 “For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round. 3 Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men”. – July 1828

I cannot fathom trusting a god who can change his mind on a whim.
The God I worship is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow as the Lord said in Hebrews 13:8.
Share with a Mormon using demonstrative examples of why you can always rely on and trust the God of the Bible!

[…] Mormons Believe a God Who can’t be Trusted […]
I understand how theological developments carry much of the criticism. Some Mormons may believe the original texts, not necessarily the printed 1981 version, and so the understanding was predictably a mixed bag. Whether they started off corrupt or were correct at some point and veered off, you don’t know to whom the incipient words belong. On many points the BoM gravitated to scriptural references, as in Nephi, setting the tone of inspired writing, unless Smith was all wrong.
