Your post demonstrates the problem with adding beliefs to scripture, even with good intentions. When you make stuff up, you end up having to explain ramifications.
It reminds me a bit of the end of the movie “The Invention of Lying”, where the first man able to lie, comes up with a god to help his mother cope with her dying. Word gets out and the whole world wants to know more about this god. As he expands the lie, it brings people to incredible joy, happiness and peace until they start asking questions about ramifications. And then the complexity bites him and the whole race, as the negatives start popping up en-mass.
The bible does not have those problems. People’s inaccurate interpretations do. It is one reason LDS is unraveling. I think it is why this belief, as it becomes more public and easily debated, is unraveling. Man made religious beliefs cannot survive the spotlight of the internet.
“Man made religious beliefs cannot survive the spotlight of the internet.”
Quite the opposite. Quite the opposite. Man made beliefs invented in the 16th century still hold sway because they were easy to pass around to others. The same is true of the internet.
Remember the old axiom? Lies travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on her boots.
