The Lord warns that those who ignore the words of the living prophets will fall (see D&C 1:14–16). He promises great blessings to those who follow the President of the Church: “Behold, there shall be a record kept among you; and in it thou shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ, an elder of the church through the will of God the Father, and the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ…4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; 5 For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.

  • TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony
    Salt Lake City Messenger UTAH LIGHTHOUSE MINISTRY Issue No. 75 PO BOX 1884, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84110 July 1990 TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony In response to Fawn M. Brodie’s book, No Man Knows My History, the noted Mormon apologist Hugh Nibley declared: Yet of all churches in the world only this one has not found it necessary to readjust any part of its doctrine in the last hundred years. How does Brodie explain the fact that the doctrine which she claims was the haphazard outgrowth of complete opportunism remains the most stable on earth? (No Ma’am That’s Not History, 1946, pp. 46-47) Although most Mormons have always placed a great deal of weight in Dr. Nibley’s arguments, recent developments within the church itself will undoubtedly cause many to wonder about his claims concerning doctrinal stability. The New York Times gave this startling report in an article which begins on the first page of the issue dated May 3, 1990: The Mormon Church has changed some of its most sacred rituals, eliminating parts of the largely secret ceremonies that President Ezra Taft Benson have been viewed as offensive to women and to members of some other faiths. “Because the temple ceremony is sacred to us, we don’t Last month the church . quietly dropped from its speak about it except in the most general terms,” said Beverly temple rituals a vow in which women pledged obedience to Campbell, the East Coast director for public communications their husbands .
