Analysis of David A. Bednar: `Be Still, and Know That I Am God` 

hope you do more analysis of the talks

Fantastic analysis and thoughts, as usual. False doctrine is almost always very subtle, so these critiques are very useful. Thank you.

Conference has little to do with leading others to Christ. Rather, the objective is to self-sustain one another's authority and teach "doctrines" that only enrich the church. You're doing a great job exposing these fraudsters.

Church is a people not a building

You reference the second half of Ephesians 2:20 that says Jesus is the chief cornerstone. But why did you ommit the first half Ephesians 2:20? That says: "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets...."

So I just read and highlighted Bednar's talk and what I found most disturbing is that not once did he mention the necessity for repentance. He quoted a scripture that refers to having "faith in him", but that's it. The entire focus of the talk is in participating in priesthood/church ordinances and rituals. He speaks about going to church and going to the temple to experience peace, reflect on things, and focus on teachings, in order to "be still and know that I am God." I find it most alarming and incredible that he does not teach repentance as the foremost requirement for receiving peace and the blessings of the gospel. Bednar is a false prophet. That much is clear. All true prophets teach faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. The whole thing hinges on repentance. Repentance is vital. But Bednar teaches ordinances and renewing covenants, without repentance, like these are some king of magic wand to magic us into God's good favor and to receive the peaceable things of the Spirit without the prerequisite repentance required for qualifying ourselves for such things.

Psalms 46 writen by the guys that started a coo against Moses Now keep in mind Moses Aaron Miriam Joseph Abinadie Moroni Coriantum Lot ect all followed God and had sad endings

You added words to Bedbar's talk. He didn't say the only places you can meet is in church, the temple, and the approved places. He said this is where the church meets or has its meetings, which is correct for our day. We have meeting places while the early church did not, so they met in someone's house. If they had a meeting house or chapel, I'm pretty sure they would have met there rather than in a house. Bednar didn't say that Jesus or the spirit doesn't come to people who meet in other places. The church teaches that we should make our homes temples. Your comparison with the early church and today was not a fair or accurate one. If your focus is to attack church leaders or what other people say rather than just preaching the gospel I suggest you think about Isaiah 53:6 which says like sheep we have all gone astray eveyone his own way. Or D&C 84 it says condemnation rests on the children of Zion, even all. We have been asked by Jesus to feed his sheep. Tearing down others or criticizing leaders is not the way to share the gospel. As members of the church, we are all supposed to be watchmen, it's not talking about just the leaders of the church today. We need to include ourselves with the watchmen. I think a lot of people who only focus on the sins and short comings of church leaders are in for a big surprise when they also don't measure up to the Lord's standards and will be swept off the land with the very leaders they are condemning.

I find it funny how all these men pride themselves in speaking pretended parables of the kingdom of heaven. In reality it makes them look all the more insecure of what is happening to the church and it's shaky doctrines and behaviors that fail to align with the Word of God.

You believe such and such would've been better in your opinion?... Well...that's why your not an Apostle...thank goodness...
