The Problem with McConkie’s Talk

Posted in Racism in the Mormon Church, Racist Remarks by Leaders in the Church, tagged , , , on 01/21/2026| 3 Comments »

Dictionary.com defines the word fact as “something said to be true or supposed to have happened”.

 January 21 — All are Alike Unto God, August 18, 1978 “Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whomsoever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge that now has come into the world.

We get our truth and our light line upon line and precept upon precept. We have now had added a new flood of intelligence and light on this particular subject, and it erases all the darkness and all the views and all the thoughts of the past. They don’t matter any more.

It doesn’t make a particle of difference what anybody ever said about the Negro matter before the first day of June of this year, 1978. It is a new day and a new arrangement, and the Lord has now given the revelation that sheds light out into the world on this subject.” — Bruce McConkie (more…)

Christian Prayers to be Shunned

Posted in July, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , on 07/29/2024| 1 Comment »

 “Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26

 July 28 — Christian Prayers to be Shunned. Mormon Doctrine, p. 414 “Those formal, written prayers which are commonly read by ministers, and those recited by lay church members in doing penance or seeking grace, are devoid of the true spirit of prayer and should be shunned. Frequently they are spoken without real intent; and their use keeps men from searching their own hearts in an attempt to pray in faith according to an approved pattern so that actual blessings may be gained from Deity.” — Bruce McConkie (more…)

Joseph Smith, the Chosen One

Posted in July, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , on 07/27/2024| Leave a Comment »

“A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.” Proverbs 14:5

 July 27 — Joseph Smith, the Chosen One. “Come: Hear the Voice of the Lord”, Ensign, December 1985 “Joseph Smith himself read in the book of James the famous words known to us all: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (James 1:5.)

In describing his feelings at the time, he said: “Never did any passage of scripture come with more power to the heart of man than this did at this time to mine. It seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of my heart. I reflected on it again and again.” (JS—H 1:12.)

Then, because the hour had come for the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, and because he was the one chosen and foreordained from eternity to commence the work, the Great God and his Beloved Son, descending in eternal splendor from the courts of glory, manifested themselves to this guileless and believing youth.

But, be it remembered, the scripture was the guidepost leading to the receipt of the First Vision, a vision equalled by few in import and glory in all the history of the world.” — Bruce McConkie (more…)
