Liahona, January 2002, pg. 80; “Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity.
With the Lord, families are essential. He created the earth that we could gain physical bodies and form families (see D&C 2:1–3). He established His Church to exalt families. He provides temples so that families can be together forever (see D&C 138:47–48).”” – Russell Nelson
Psalm 19:1; “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.” Also see Psalm 24:1, 148:1-5; Nehemiah 9:6; Exodus 20:11; Gen. 1:21, 25.
Ephesians 4:11-12; “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Also see Romans 12:4-8 & 1 Corinthians 12:12, 14, 17-27
1 Corinthians 3:16; “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” Also see 1 Corinthians 6:19.
As you can see there are many heretical statements made in that quote so the best thing to do is take it apart sentence by sentence for a rebuttal. Nothing in what Mr. Nelson had to say was truth and in case you’re not aware, the Liahona is a magazine produced by the Church for children.
He was lying to little kids.
One more thing – isn’t our greatest work to love the Lord your God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself? This is called “Shema” – Mark 12:28-31, Deuteronomy 6:4-6.
