BLAINE: Kevin needs to "follow the prophet" himself. The deeds of the Mormon
prophets down through the ages speak volumes for them, as leaders and exemplars
of Christian conduct. They are/were great desciples of Jesus Christ--
Jus' follow the prophet, Kevin, dear boy, and you will go far in this world and
the next. (:
Pray always that you enter not into temptation to resist these great men's
teachings.
"Follow the Prophet he will NEVER lead you astray"
These "MISTAKES" made by the 1st PRES. show the FALLACY of going beyond God's
word, making claims, and promises you can't keep.
The MAXIM says NEVER this is untenable and unrealistic. FALSE Advertising!
The maxim should be changed to "he will RARELY Lead you astray"
There is also supposed to be SAFETY when following the prophet (Teachings of
the Living Prophets p 15) Mark Christenson followed the prophet in the Hofman
affair and did the bidding of that prophet. Mark was the first victim blown up.
Safety?
"The Saints can AVOID the pitfalls, DECEPTIONS, and false philosophies of the
world if they will simply look to the Lord's chosen leadersand follow the
counsel which the Lord gives through them" (Teachings Living prophets p 43)
Now here it implies one can AVIOD DECEPTION. Again it is demonstratably FALSE
since Mark Hofman DECIEVED the WHOLE FIRST Presidency SEER Spencer W Kimball
and SEER to be Hinckley included!
Should this be changed to the saints can sometimes Avoid?
"I say to Israel, the Lord will NEVER Permit me or any other man who stands as
president of this Church to lead you astray. It is not in the Programme. It is
not in the mind of God. If I were to attempt that the lord would remove me out
of my place, and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of
men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty." Wilford Woodruff
general Conference Millenial Star 24 Nov 1890
So the Lord must have removed Kimball & Hinckley for leading astray.
It is not allowed in God's programme, why did God PERMIT the misleading of his
people?
Now since the prophet said NEVER he speaking as the MOUTH of God at General
Conference must have meant NEVER!
"Sometimes we get the notion that if it is written in a book, it makes it more
True than if it is spoken in the last general Conference" Teachings Living
Prophets p 19
The spoken words of GC are as binding as the STD Works. The people gave their
common consent.
"What the President says is scripture" p 19
"thou shalt give heed to ALL his words" p 21
The prophet said it you have no authority to change it.
He said NEVER This makes him a false prophet.
"FOLLOW the Prophet he will RARELY lead you astray
