LOL. How nice, that all of you climbed onto the same bandwagon. This will make responding to you all much easier.
Read it again, very carefully. I didn’t say that the Lord would not allow His Church to go astray. I said, very specifically, that the Lord would never allow His SERVANTS TO LEAD the church astray. That is quite different. All have agency, and he doesn’t take that away from any of us, but he will not allow those that hold stewardship over His flock to lead them away from the principles of Christ. If a prophet of God err’s, to the point of leading the Church astray, the Lord intervenes.
The Jews were in apostasy when Christ came, but that was becasue of wickedness of the people, not His servants.
All of Christ’s apostles were killed, every one, save John, but the wickedness of the people, and the changing of his gospel was was brought about the “falling away” as spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, not the apostles leading the church astray.
Consider the following:
Joseph Smith was deceived by two angels of light and MILLIONS have swallowed the tale.
If a prophet of God err’s, to the point of leading the Church astray, the Lord intervenes.
Just poor, li'l ol' Elsie; doin' the job that other Americans won't do!
