D&C 18:20 “Contend against no church, save it be the church of the devil.”

Doctrine and Covenants Student Manual, Section 18, pp. 35-36 “What Is the “Church of the Devil”? … Elder Bruce R. McConkie explained that “the titles church of the devil and great and abominable church are used to identify all churches or organizations of whatever name or nature—whether political, philosophical, educational, economic, social, fraternal, civic, or religious—which are designed to take men on a course that leads away from God and his laws and thus from salvation in the kingdom of God” (Mormon Doctrine, pp. 137–38).” (more…)

Posted in General Conference October 2020, tagged , , , , on 10/24/2020| 1 Comment »

‘For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.’ 1 Corinthians 14:33

 Today we’re looking at more of the talk Henry Eyring gave at General Conference. His use of their canon from the book of Moses should cause great concern for those who listened to this man’s talk.

‘But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’ Genesis 2:17

 The Promised Messiah: The First Coming of Christ, p. 133 “No doctrine is more basic; no doctrine embraces a greater incentive to personal righteousness . . . as does the wondrous concept that man can be as his Maker. It was revealed first to Adam, to whom—after his baptism, after he had received the holy priesthood, after he had walked in paths of righteousness—the Lord said: “Thou art one in me, a son of God, and thus may all become my sons.” (Moses 6:68)” — Bruce R. McConkie, 1978 [emp. added] (more…)

 November 26 –Salvation Only Through Mormonism. Romans 14:17-20 “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.”
