Which is why I think it's very prideful for RW to lecture us on how we can't trust true prophets because they can be deceived, while he insists that he can't be.cab wrote: ↑October 25th, 2022, 4:15 amLDS Watchman wrote: ↑October 24th, 2022, 9:08 pm
How does believing that God won't let a true prophet lead his people astray violate the 1st commandment? How is that Anti-Christian and the epitome of pride?
The fact that you don't believe that there's even the slightest chance that you could be deceived speaks volumes. Beware of pride friend.
He believes the answer he’s received is knowledge, experiential first hand knowledge. It’s the same type of knowledge people seem to express each Sunday when they say they “know the church is true”.
Are all those makes such statements of knowledge guilty of pride? I would imagine most of them would say they are sure they aren’t deceived in that thing they have expressed knowledge of….
A very paradoxical situation indeed.
I would never make such a declaration. There are many things that I believe I know or strongly believe in, but I would never rule out the possibility that I could be deceived.
But you seem to be stating that the LDS prophets are true prophets as a matter of fact. Is it possible you could be deceived in this belief?
But yes it is possible that I could be wrong and even deceived about all sorts of things I firmly believe to be true. I don't claim to be infallible and unable to be deceived.
