 TheChurchNews.com “The gospel of Jesus Christ does not change. Gospel doctrine does not change. Our personal covenants do not change. But over the years, the meetings we hold to communicate our messages do change and very likely will continue to change over the years.”  — Dallin Oaks (more…)

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8

 The recent General Conference proved to be a repeat of previous sessions filled with mixed messages throughout the weekend. Today we’re taking a quick look at three of those talks and comparing what they said to the Bible.

Listeners were told they take pride in how they’re an all-inclusive religion, but it’s the Church’s constitutional right to preach their god forbids them a true salvation. (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Always Have His Spirit’, November 1996 “The blessings available through the gift of the Holy Ghost are conditioned upon worthiness. “The Spirit of the Lord doth not dwell in unholy temples” (Hel. 4:24; see also Mosiah 2:36-37; 1 Cor. 3:16-17). Even though we have a right to his constant companionship, the Spirit of the Lord will dwell only with us when we keep the commandments. He will withdraw when we offend him by profanity, uncleanliness, disobedience, rebellion, or other serious sins.” — Dallin Oaks (more…)

 General Conference, ‘What Think Ye of Christ?’, October 1988 “Man, unquestionably has impressive powers … But after all our obedience and good works, we cannot be saved from the effects of our sins without the grace extended by the atonement of Jesus Christ … Man cannot earn his own salvation.” — Dallin Oaks [emp. added] (more…)

February 20 – 1 Corinthians 7:6-7 “But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.”

General Conference, ‘Love Your Enemies’, October 2020 “An essential part of loving our enemies is to render unto Caesar by keeping the laws of our various countries. Though Jesus’s teachings were revolutionary, He did not teach revolution or lawbreaking. He taught a better way. Modern revelation teaches the same:

“Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of the land.

“Wherefore, be subject to the powers that be” (Doctrine and Covenants 58:21–22).

And our article of faith, written by the Prophet Joseph Smith after the early Saints had suffered severe persecution from Missouri officials, declares, “We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law” (Articles of Faith 1:12).” — Dallin Oaks (more…)

TheChurchNews.com/General Conference Women’s Session “Summary points…

The First Presidency is concerned about the challenges women worldwide are facing. They love and pray for the women. …

Talk summary:

The Savior’s assurance to His Apostles is the message He gives to all of Heavenly Father’s children: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). This message is repeated throughout scripture. …

Amid the present troubling circumstances many are facing, the Savior’s assurance is needed today. “The Lord has special love and concern for His precious daughters. He knows of your wants, your needs, and your fears. The Lord is all powerful. Trust Him.”

Opposition is an essential part of Heavenly Father’s plan for helping His children grow… (more…)

Newsroom, BYU Devotional Study, 27 October 2020  “What Will Bring Peace in Our Time of Anxiety, Racism and Other Problems? The Gospel of Jesus Christ, President Oaks Says…

Quoting Churchill, the former state supreme court justice counsels that ‘if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.’ … This, President Oaks said, is important wisdom for our current moment.” — Dallin Oaks (more…)

 Today we’re checking out two talks given at GC; one by Dallin Oaks, the other by David Bednar. As we’ve noted earlier, the main theme for this conference was addressing racism. However, true to form, they couldn’t miss the opportunity to throw in the obligatory false teachings.

4.Proving Oneself for Eternal Progression

General Conference, ‘We Will Prove Them Herewith’, October 2020 “…tests in the school of mortality are a vital element of our eternal progression. Interestingly, however, the word test is not found even one time in the scriptural text of the standard works in English.

Rather, words such as prove, examine, and try are used to describe various patterns of demonstrating appropriately our spiritual knowledge about, understanding of, and devotion to our Heavenly Father’s eternal plan of happiness and our capacity to seek for the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement. …The process of proving ourselves is a fundamental part of Heavenly Father’s great plan of happiness.” — David A. Bednar
