Strawman alert.

Why will she take a General Authority's word "any day?" Or is it only the word of Elder Eyring that she'll take?

Tell me that guy's not in the bathroom.

Consider the act and the product and tell me its not an appropriate photo.

I used Elder Eyring's name because he was the one who described the process. I believe in the veracity of the General Authorities. I am sorry Brother Dunn exaggerated his personal involvement in some of the examples he gave. I really don't see that as being relevant.

Point taken. :O

Nor do you view BY's Adam-God teaching as relevant.

Bro Dunn didn't just exaggerate. Bro Dunn made it up. That's called lying, charity. And Bro Dunn was a GA, an apostle, when he made it all up. What one GA did, others can do. Men lie; it's their nature. Lies of commision and lies of omission. Both are lies.

Let the buyer beware. Trusting men is trusting in the arm of flesh. If I'm going to trust an arm of flesh, it's going to be my own.

Brother Dunn was NOT an apostle. He Washington in the Quorum of the 70. Not that it makes what he did any more excusable, but you at least ought to be accurate, Harmony.

Men lie. It's their nature. Women, too? Or are you anti-men?

You can trust in any arm of flesh you want. I will try the Lord. If He tells me a man (or woman) is His servant, I believe Him.

Women too. Even you.

If God tells you something, you're still trusting in your own arm of the flesh. The reciever is flesh. Can't get away from it. It's a matter of which arm of the flesh you trust. I only trust my own.

Speak for yourself. I don't lie.

What do you suppose is meant in 2 Ne. 4: 34? "O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm."

I thought to find where the prophets pull out their prophecies you'd need a doctor with a flashlight.

No, get it straight. He asked for a Bud Light!

Actually, Charity, you're trusting yourself to correctly perceive and interpret what the Lord "says". As has been demonstrated to you more times than I can count, human beings are notoriously unreliable at this particular feat.

But I know, I know. YOU "know" when it's really GOD speaking, even though all other human beings, including your prophets, can't quite get that straight.
