Subject: Living Prophets? |
Bible Note: Paraclete; This is a Bible study forum. Joseph Smith's novel is irrelevant. Indeed, any book that begins with this monumental lie has no place here: "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." (Joseph Smith, Introduction to the Book of Mormon) Pardon me if I sound unpleasant, but nowhere does the Bible tell us to tolerate false teachers: "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute." (2 Peter 2:1-2) Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
