LDS Uses Satan’s Lies

17 June

1 John 2:29; “If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”

salt lake mormon temple 2Today we’re examining questionable comments (a-hem, lies) the LDS Church told in a commentary for one of their standard works; the Pearl of Great Price. The irony in this writing, and those of other LDS authorities couldn’t be richer, and the longer we looked, the worse it got. Please, don’t forget to pray for them! Pray also other Christians will recall what John said in his epistle so they don’t get fooled into believing the lies.

The passage we’ve used is listed below, followed by a few questions and comments from the points we’re looking at today. The strange part about this is how they accused Satan of lying to Eve, yet they’re the guilty party. We’re not defending Satan mind you! We just wondering if they’re ever using the Bible…at all… As you read through this, see how many of their lies you pick up on.

BTW – this is one of the most demonic, outright evil things I’ve seen in Mormon writings to date. I shudder to think of the impact it will have on those who believe this.

Pearl of Great Price Commentary, p. 146; “The devil in tempting Eve told a truth when he said unto her that when she should eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil they should become as Gods. He told the truth in telling that, but he accompanied it with a lie as he always does. He never tells the complete truth. He said that they should not die. The Father had said that they should die. The devil had to tell a lie in order to accomplish his purposes; but there was some truth in his statement. Their eyes were opened. They had a knowledge of good and evil just as the Gods have. They became as Gods; for that is one of the features, one of the peculiar attributes of those who attain unto that glory—they understand the difference between good and evil.” (George Q. Cannon, Gospel Truth, 1:16.)” – Milton R. Hunter

Genesis 3:5; “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

LDS: ‘The devil in tempting Eve told a truth…they should become as Gods…’

How is this truth? What gods are they referring to? There is only  ONE God –Isaiah 43:10-11

LDS: “…he accompanied it with a lie as he always does…”

They should’ve considered what their apostle Orson Pratt said about this…

Journal of Discourses, 13:73; “The devil can adapt himself to the belief of any person …. If he could get you to swallow down one or two great lies that would effect your destruction, and which you would preach and destroy many others, he would not mind how many truths you might believe…” – Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, December 19, 1869

LDS: ‘He never tells the complete truth…’

It’s odd they’d point this out because LDS leaders have advised members to do the very same thing…See article ‘Lying for God’ where Dallin Oaks said truth should be constrained, and the outcome of that ‘isn’t falsehood but silence for a season…’

LDS: ‘…The devil had to tell a lie in order to accomplish his purposes…’

Scary, scary stuff! I wonder if the lesson from their student manual comes to mind when reading their canon…

Gospel of the Doctrines Student Manual, Chapter 8; “…the fall of Adam has not been called a sin. It wasn’t a sin. … What did Adam do? The very thing the Lord wanted him to do; and I hate to hear anybody call it a sin, for it wasn’t a sin…I see a great difference between transgressing the law and committing a sin.” (Joseph Fielding Smith

LDS: ‘…their eyes were opened…They became as Gods…’

See article Mormonism & Godhood where Brigham tells members salvation is equivalent to godhood status and this is righteousness.

LDS: “…for that is one of the features, one of the peculiar attributes of those who attain unto that glory—they understand the difference between good and evil…’

Well, the attributes of these false gods are indeed peculiar. As is the overall demeanor of what they’re trying to sell. These teachings and lessons are so demonic it makes one wonder if they sleep soundly. If it were me, I’d lay awake at night worried! Even their prophet warned them about Satan’s ploys…

Conference Report, October 1967, p. 30; “The powerful Lucifer has his day. He whispers into every man’s ears. Some reject his enticing offers, others yield. Satan whispers, ‘This is no sin. You are no transgressor. I am no devil. There is no evil one. There is no black. All is white.’” – Spencer W. Kimball
