Have you ever wondered how much of Brigham Youngs philosophy or Joe Smith’s got mingled up in scripture? Have you read the Doctrine and Covenants?
The first time I read it as a teenager, I went to my Bishop and said, “It sounds like Joseph Smith was trying to convince a lot of people to do the things he wanted them to do....like practice polygamy, go on a mission, accept polygamy, etc. etc. etc.
It seems your own prophet fits the bill....mingling the truth with his own philosophy. I’m sure you have a different “take” on it.
It is my belief that being a prophet of God is the hardest job any human being can have. I also believe that they are all human beings.
We may feel free to disagree about doctrine, but in the end, I do not believe that the Lord allows a false prophet to lead His Church. I do not believe false doctrine could call so many to serve each other as well as the world in general, as you can see.
One of the things that first attracted me to the Church was the opportunity to be of service. Do you remember the floods in South Georgia in 1994? I do. Albany, Georgia was a real mess.The first Saturday after the floods, there were about 13,000 volunteers down there cleaning up, distributing supplies, etc. Fully 6,000 of them were Mormons. In the Georgia Bible Belt, with baptists thick as fleas, almost half the help came from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That is not something that can be inspired by Satan.
