The Philosophies of Men
A couple of days ago I was driving in my car, and a thought very forcefully came to my mind:
There are many willing to teach you the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture.
Together with this thought came the realization that anything on this page (or in the corresponding printed books) is filled with man’s philosophies: teachings, ideas, and claims that are not backed up by scripture (and often in direct conflict with it), but that are supposedly supported by tossing in the odd scriptural reference. It is the fulfillment of the prophecy: the LDS Church manuals are the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture.
When you go to Sunday School and you sit and listen to the lesson, how much of what is being taught comes from the scriptures? Or is it just the teacher talking and repeating the same thing he (or she) has been taught, all with no basis in the words of God?
There are many who are willing to teach you the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture. Just walk in to your local chapel.
But I am looking for messengers from my Father and Mother.
