"Theory of Evolution, Big Bang Theory, theory, theory, theory. God has always been taught as Truth. No theories needed or accepted. All things denote there is a God."
“I make no apology for discussing the subject I have come to talk of. I’ve come not to entertain you. I’m here on a very serious mission… The entertainer gives to the people that which they desire; a true leader gives to the people that which they should have. Like Paul, I am pressed in the spirit to warn and exhort and to strengthen.” -Spencer W. Kimball
(revelation that EVERY worthy man may hold the priesthood)
"People write me letters and say, "You said such and such, and how is it now that we do such and such?" And all I can say to that is that it is time disbelieving people repented and got in line and believed in a living, modern prophet.
Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigaham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whomever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge that now has come into the world.
We get our truth and our light line upon line and precept upon precept. We have now added a new flood of intelligence and light on this particular subject, and it erases all the darkness and all the views and all the thoughts of the past. They don't matter any more."
(referring to “A Bible, a Bible, we have got a Bible”) The argument is, as the Lord suggests, most foolish. It is our modern counterpart to those of Jesus' day who rejected him in the pretense of being loyal to the Law of Moses, the irony being that loyalty to the Law of Moses demanded acceptance of Jesus as the Christ. The purpose of the Law of Moses was to teach and testify of Christ. Such is also the purpose of the Book of Mormon, it being the most Christ-centered book ever written. Yet it is rejected in the name of loyalty to the Bible. The logical extension of such reasoning would be to reject the Gospel of Mark in the name of loyalty to Matthew or to reject the witness of Peter in the pretense of loyalty to Paul and his teachings.” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 1, p. 347)
