[sp]Would you say the list that President Benson gave, which you pasted above, is true when describing the two prophets to come as spoken of by Rev 11?

[Elsie]No.

[Elsie]Mormon Living Prophets® is what Benson is prattling about here; NOT biblical ones.


Ok, lets look at this then.

[President Ezra Taft Benson]1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.

So you believe those true prophets in Rev 11, don't speak for the Lord..

2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.

So you value your own interpretation of 2000 yr old text more than someone that received instruction from God Himself face to face...

3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.

Your interpretation of Paul's words are more important to you than these two real prophets?

4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.

They have stood before God face to face, they will be called into heaven by the voice of Jesus Christ Himself, but you believe they will lead you astray...

5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.

So, you believe these men can't be prophets unless they complete a Weslyan seminary, regardless of what God says?

7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.

So you believe these two are only going to tell you what you want to hear...

8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.

You believe that these prophets are limited to what you know and that's it....

11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.

And the proud who are Elsie...

12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.

You believe the two prophets will be popular with the world. Strange seeing as how the world will give gifts when these are killed.

14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

So you believe that you can reject these two prophets and you'll be blessed.

Well, that is certainly an interesting view point you have. Good luck with that at the judgement.

Beats rejecting one!


"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)

How can one reject' what hasn't occurred?

I can sure 'reject' Joseph Smith; because he is a PROVEN false prophet.

MY point of view?

All of these 'words' you try to place on ME, came from YOUR fertile(?) imagination!

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
