Today we’re taking another look at Henry Eyring’s talk from this past General Conference. In our previous article, we focused on the anachronisms in Eyring’s talk, but this time we’re looking at the racist context from the references he used from the Book of Moses.
We’re comparing what Mr. Eyring said with God’s word. You’ll see our comments/questions in red font.
General Conference, ‘Sisters in Zion’, October 2020 “We know that the Savior will come to a people who have been gathered and prepared to live as the people did in the city of Enoch. The people there were united in faith in Jesus Christ and had become so completely pure that they were taken up to heaven. …
There’s no such city in the Bible.
This dispensation is distinct in that the Lord will lead us to become prepared to be like the city of Enoch. He has described through His apostles and prophets what that transformation to a Zion people will entail.
This means you should ready yourself for more works. (more…)

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…)

General Conference, ‘Hearts Knit in Righteousness and Unity’, October 2020 “Unity is enhanced when people are treated with dignity and 
respect, even though they are different in outward characteristics.
As leaders, we are not under the illusion that in the past all relationships were perfect, all conduct was Christlike, or all decisions were just. …
Our desire is that our hearts and minds will be knit in righteousness and unity and that we will be one with Them. …
We are all aware that we can do better, and that is our challenge in this day. … At this 200-year hinge point in our Church history, let us commit ourselves as members of the Lord’s Church to live righteously and be united as never before. …” — Quentin L. Cook (more…)

Matthew 15:9 “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
Today we’re looking at three comments from a talk given by Lisa Harkness at the October 2020 General Conference. If you’re unaware, Lisa Harkness is a counselor of the LDS Primary. To read her talk in full, see General Conference, ‘Peace Be Still’, October 2020.
This talk was based on the gospel of Mark, chapter four, where she used a few selected verses to remind LDS members to stay calm during difficult times. Before we go on, I want to be sure my message comes across loud, and clear.
My heart breaks for this woman, and those who’ve been misled by her false teachings. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say it’s sad, she’s so misled, and at the same time frustrated she would lie to people like my mother who most certainly listened to this woman’s talk.
We’re listing her three comments below, and comparing those with what the Bible says. The reason we’re pointing these out is to show why it’s vitally important to know the word of God. The ‘little’ things she said actually describe a different god than that of what is truth. (more…)

… God has something unimaginable in mind for you personally and the Church collectively—a marvelous work and a wonder.

Our best days are ahead of us, not behind us. This is why God gives us modern revelation! …What is needed during times of crisis is calm and clear-headed trust. How do we do this?

General Conference, ‘Keep the Change’, October 2020 “When I was younger, I visualized myself walking along an upward, vertical path 
toward my goal of eternal life. Each time I did or said something wrong, I felt myself sliding down the path, only to start my journey all over again. It was like landing on that one square in the children’s game Chutes and Ladders that slides you down from the top of the board back to the beginning of the game! It was discouraging! But as I began to understand the doctrine of Christ and how to apply it daily in my life, I found hope. …
We endure to the end by continuing to apply these principles throughout our lives and inviting the Lord to change us. Enduring to the end means changing to the end. I now understand that I am not starting over with each failed attempt, but that with each try, I am continuing my process of change.” — Becky Craven, Second Counselor in the Young Women General Presidency (more…)

For the sake of brevity, we’ve pulled just a few of his comments to compare with what God says in His word. To read Mr. Renlund’s talk in full, see General Conference, ‘Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God’, October 2020.
As the title of his talk suggests, the focus of Mr. Renlund’s talk was on how to act humbly, while doing so honorably. (more…)

‘The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?’ Jeremiah 17:9
General Conference, ‘By Union of Feeling We Obtain Power’, October 2020 “As we seek union of feeling, we will call down the power of 
God to make our efforts whole. …
‘…On June 9, the Prophet said… It grieves me that there is no fuller fellowship—if one member suffer all feel it—by union of feeling we obtain pow’r with God.’
…That small sentence struck me like lightning. By union of feeling we obtain power with God. … How will I create that “union of feeling” when all are so different? … What power from God might I access if I am just a little bit more unified with others? …
We may not yet be where we want to be, and we are not now where we will be. I believe the change we seek in ourselves and in the groups we belong to will come less by activism and more by actively trying every day to understand one another. Why? Because we are building Zion—a people “of one heart and one mind.”” — Sharon Eubank, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency (more…)

General Conference, ‘Ask, Seek, and Knock’, October 2020 “Recently a loved one said to me, “I believe personal revelation to be true. I 
believe the Holy Ghost will show me all things I should do. It is easy to believe when I feel my bosom burn with undoubting conviction. But how can I have the Holy Ghost always speak to me at this level?”
To my loved one and to all of you, I would say that I too would like to constantly feel those strong impressions from the Spirit and always see clearly the path to follow. But I don’t.
However, what we might feel more often is the still, small voice of the Lord whispering to our mind and heart: “I am here. I love you. Go on; do your best. I will support you.” We don’t always need to know everything or see everything. (more…)

‘For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that day.’ 2 Timothy 1:12
Before we look at today’s text, take a moment to reflect on the Bible verse above, and keep it in mind as we look at what Mr. Jackson said at the last General Conference. We’re certain that if anyone calling themselves a Christian would remember Paul’s words, organizations like Mormonism would be non-existent.
As an FYI, we’re looking at just a portion of Mr. Jackson’s talk. The reason for this is because of the numerous lies he told. We’ve pulled a few, and addressed them to show how Christians can pray for, and use them as a witnessing tool. To read it in full, see link below.
Remember beloved, we’re not doing this to mock, or ridicule, the Mormon people! On the contrary, we do this because our hearts are broken for their predicament. We’re convinced they love Jesus, but it’s the wrong Jesus! Mr. Jackson’s words are in black, and our response is in red.
