Posted in Book of Mormon, Mormon Dilemmas, tagged Book of Mormon Mosiah 14 & Isaiah 53, false gospel, italicized KJV translation on 09/06/2025| 1 Comment »

D&C 43:5-6 “And this shall be a law unto you, that ye receive not the teachings of any that shall come before you as revelations or commandments; 6 And this I give unto you that you may not be deceived, that you may know they are not of me.”

Mormon Doctrine, p. 108 “COMMON CONSENT Members of the Church may vote to publish a particular revelation along with the other scriptures, or the people may bind themselves by covenant to follow the instructions found in the revealed word.

By their fruits shall they be known. When, therefore any man, no matter who, or how high his standing may be, utters, or publishes, any thing that afterwards proves to be untrue, he is a false prophet.” (more…)

When a man and woman are sealed in the temple by someone who holds the priesthood and has special power to seal, their marriage will not end when they die. Their marriage will last forever if they keep the promises they made in the temple. This is called eternal marriage. (more…)
