Saying that he was using misdirection in his responses. The intention of my post was to discuss something that happens on missions. I just traced the quotes for historical context. That is why we have blogs to discuss the various angles. Check out the recent discussion on Mormon Matter on it. There is a quote in the new Joseph Smith manual that says that is true doctrine.Dr. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061544604584544836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-51517195678406273012008-01-22T15:50:00.000-05:002008-01-22T15:50:00.000-05:00Misquoted three times, by three entirely separate ...Misquoted three times, by three entirely separate reporters, Matt?<BR/><BR/>That's almost as good as the old Mark E. Peterson story that there was only <B>one</B> sermon where Brigham Young taught Adam-God (JD 1:50) and that it was "obviously mistanscribed."<BR/><BR/>As for as Hinckley's follow up in general conference, yes--he essentially claimed to have been misquoted. That would be much more convincing if he hadn't made the same "misquote" in more interview than one.Nick Literskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842410180080400838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-61993834538497832392008-01-20T23:01:00.000-05:002008-01-20T23:01:00.000-05:00Nick, I don't know many younger LDS who do any suc...Nick, I don't know many younger LDS who do any such thing. Most evidence I see is that most LDS feel Hinckley was misquoted and that he did not disavow any such thing. I believe he went on to clarify as such in General Conference.<BR/><BR/>Dr. B.- In my mission, we were also taught to leave the mysteries alone. I believe this comes from a sermon by hyrum smith and another by joseph smith in history of the church.Larke Wittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446106361530533179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-29397538582695716132008-01-19T13:37:00.000-05:002008-01-19T13:37:00.000-05:00I'm amazed you can write this post, while complete...I'm amazed you can write this post, while completely ignoring the fact that Gordon Hinckley has publicly disavowed the "As man now is, God once was" portion of the Snow couplet. Many younger LDS are using this fact to deny not only the Snow couplet as doctrine, but the entirety of the King Follet Discourse as doctrine.Nick Literskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842410180080400838noreply@blogger.com
