God has communicated with mankind, and He still does, He communicates through His Son, His Spirit, and through His Word (the Bible).
The idea of the need for modern revelation makes no sense, because it takes away the work of the Word and the Spirit.
I don’t need someone in SLC telling me what God wants me to do, I have the Bible.
And, how do you know WHEN the LDS prophet is speaking for God or speaking as a man? They contradict each other and even themselves. Later prophets will say the older ones were speaking as men, when the earlier ones explicitly stated they were speaking for God.
I understand that, as a convert, a person can be enamored with all the pat answers and seeimingly comfortable control the LDS church exercises as well as the feeling of being part of something important.
The LDS church feeds these very human feelings, but the LDS church is NOT based upon reality and certainly not from God.
exactly.
The bible tells us who God is, what happens when we die, what to believe, how to live our lives, that Jesus is coming back, and how the world will end.
