Why I doubt Pres. Nelson.

Post by deacon blues »

. I came home from Presbyterian Church in time to hear President's Nelson's ringing call to arms- the Covenant path. He spoke also of how Adam and Noah had received all their ordinances. My dear wife asked why I didn't believe (much of) what he said. I said if Noah had received his ordinances around 2500 B.C. and taught them to his children and so on, then why did the contemporary Egyptians have a totally different religion, as did any other contemporary people who left records or historical evidence? Why did the original religion Noah taught get totally lost by the time of Abraham, Hammurabi, and the Pyramids? I admitted we don't know everything about those times, but I thought we knew enough to determine it was unlikely the early history of the Human Race was the way Pres. Nelson and/or Joseph Smith conceived it.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Didn't he say that Adam and Noah made "the same covenants" as everyone else who's been through the plagiarized masonic ritual?

Hmmm... They just changed many of those "covenants" on January 1st this year. Seems Nelson's memory might be failing him.

I wonder what Adam and Noah we’re thinking when they covenanted to obey BY’s temple oath of vengeance. They’d be like, who? Where? Oh, some prophet in the future of a land that won’t exist for thousands of years. Right.

I believe it.
The church has engineered your eternal family into a commodity that can be purchased with an annual fee. The fact that full tithing payment is a requirement for saving ordinances is the biggest red flag imaginable. Hagoth
