DAVEH: FOLLOW THE PROPHETsounds like good advice to
me, Kevin. If a prophet conveys the word (Dt 18:18 Amos 3:7) of
the Lord to his people, should he not be followed as the Hebrews
followed Moses? I'd say the problems start cropping up when the
prophets aren't followed.just look at the history of the Lord's
people since Adam. Seems to me that when the folks didn't follow the
prophet (like Noah), they ended up in water over their heads. :-(
So KevinLet me ask you..Would you advise any Christians to
avoid following the words the Lord spoke to any of the prophets of the
Bible?

Just imagine if you were raised up in a all LDS culture.
You have been told that the prophet speaks as God since as far
back, asyou can remember.
For instance, while you may have sung "Jesus Loves me"
LDS chilgren learn songs such as "Follow the Prophet"
Here is part of that song:
Now we have a world where
people are confused.
If you dont believe it,
go and watch the news.
Chorus
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; dont go astray.
Follow the prophet; follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; he knows the way.
We can get direction
all along our way,
If we heed the prophets
follow what they say.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; dont go astray.
Follow the prophet; follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; he knows the way.
The repetitive Chorus is drilled into a childs head.
Many Mormons hang a placard in their homes "Follow the Prophet"
There is a plethora of Posters and pictures, keychains, zipper
pulls, cards, games, activity books, of the Prophet for sale.
Everyone needs a "I Will Follow the
Prophet" Frame
Do you have your pastors picture prominately displayed in each
sunday school room?
How about your living room?
I think it is spooky.

Mormons, on the other hand, have probably heard these prooftexts since
they were little tykes, and maybe even were taught them in Sunday
School,
and I'll bet that most Mormons (and possibly yourself) have never tried
to
place the text it in it's Biblical context, then compare it back to the
LDS
doctrine they are trying to support. That would be almost impossible
for a
good Mormon to do so. Plus, there is a good reason not to do that. To
do so
might reveal that the scripture indeed has nothing to do with the
doctrine.
In fact, it might reveal that the doctrine is not supported anywhere in
the
Bible. And we can't have that. Nothing validates a false doctrine like
a
text from the Bible to support it...no matter how twisted the text has
become in its interpretation.
