WHOM SHALL WE BELIEVE? Shall We Believe ALL of The Doctrines Taught By Latter-Day Prophets? Answer it. A Test For Anyone Who Claims To Believe In The Restoration of The Doctrines of Jesus Christ by Elder Erving Axel Lambert of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Question: If someone told you that a very wise and righteous man that you admire and follow and believe without doubting his writings and his teachings in the least, actually taught something that was unrighteous and illogical and even FALSE - would you cover it up, or want to read it? Learn of it? Learn if he actually said it, wrote it?  OR - Would you immediately say, "That,  is preposterous! So-and-so couldn't possibly state anything contradictory to the Church!" Would you deny it without investigating it? Would you claim that it is impossible for your hero to lie or speak anything that is not truth? Simply dismiss it while claiming, "This man simply cannot teach something that is not true."
Are you aware that even Jesus Christ gave you permission to investigate even His words and His so-called "truths": "If I have spoken evil, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL ...", Jesus said --- [John 18: verse 23 - Bible]
Do you believe you have the "right" to "BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL" of anyone, even if The Saviour Himself said or taught it? You should. And since it applies to Jesus Himself - you should also admit that it pertains to apostles and prophets. If any apostle or prophet has "spoken evil" (or falsely) they should be considered a fallen apostle or prophet - especially a prophet, who supposedly working hand in hand with Jesus Christ, who supposedly speaking and teaching us as if Jesus Christ Himself were speaking and teaching us - shouldn't be allowed to speak or teach even ONE false doctrine or lie. Do you agree? Regardless if you do or not, keep reading unless you are afraid of what you may discover ... If you are afraid and want to just cover it up or not learn of these things in the first place, then stop. Stop and continue being "blind."
I, Erving Axel Lambert, bear witness that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the fulfillment of many Biblical prophecies, including the coming of Elijah [Malachi 4:5-6] and "The Refreshing" and "Restitution of All Things" [Isaiah 28:12 & Acts 3:18-21] If there is a so-called "TRUE" Church - It is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I bear testimony that this Church follows the teachings of The Bible almost perfectly. I bear testimony that the Latter-Day Scriptures, foremost of which is The Book of Mormon, teaches the doctrines contained in The Bible in a better, more clear way than The Bible itself teaches those same doctrines. I also bear witness and testify that the foundation of The Church ["Now therefore ye are of ... the Saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets," - Ephesians 2: 19-20 - Bible] is true. Nonetheless, I know that although 98% of what Latter-Day apostles and prophets teach is great stuff, what I call 'Positive Truth,' I also know that probably about 2%, what I call 'Negative Truth,' is also taught by some of these, not all of them, but some of these Latter-Day apostles and prophets: 2% of what they teach is uninspired stuff, as well as lies, false doctrines, corruption, coverups, and even some sexual sin and murders. I also bear witness, in the name of Jesus Christ, that one should not 'sustain' a prophet simply because of his office  and calling of being The Prophet. I bear witness that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does wrong when it requires its members to answer this question as so-phrased : 'Do you sustain The Prophet?' as though it can be nothing but a Yes or No answer. The better question The Church should ask is: 'As long as The Prophet teaches correct doctrine, do you sustain The Living Prophet?' And the correct answer should be, 'As long as The Living Prophet teaches the eternal doctrines of Jesus Christ, which eternal doctrines do not change and any prophet, whether dead or living, has no right to change or repudiate such doctrines, yes, I sustain The Living Prophet and the dead prophets as well.'
Because The Lord has not been able to keep me out of the so-called 'veil' of discovering the truths and doctrines contained in the Scriptures - even of things not taught in The Church and of great scriptures not used in The Church he has not been able to keep me from ...
(for a sample of this knowledge The Lord has given to me, please partake of my website,          http://   ScriptureCrossReferences.com   )
with this said (and yes I admit, with this being boasted of by me) neither has The Lord been able to keep me from learning over 500 'Negative Truths' that have either been taught in the Church either erroneously as true doctrine but were not, or happened in Church history because of corruption and/or leaders not being as full of the Holy Ghost and as full of righteousness as most members think they are or were. Things such as Mark Hoffman deceiving the prophets Spencer W. Kimball and Gordon B. Hinckley, as well as other apostles; things such as the Prophet Brigham Young teaching two false doctrines and lies concerning these false doctrines called The Adam-God Theory and Blood Atonement; things such as the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley refusing to accept and be associated with the beliefs of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Prophet Brigham Young, and 50,000 Latter-Day Saints, and thus indirectly labeling such Prophets Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and those 50,000 members of the early restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to be 'adulterers' and 'sinners' unworthy to retain their Church memberships - if what he, the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, denounced, denied, and invalidated as the lies and false doctrine of Polygamy were indeed just that. (If Polygamy isn't true, as the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley refuted, then anyone who practised it, including other Prophets such as Brigham Young, who had 50 wives, and especially the Prophet Joseph Smith who restored Polygamy back as part of the "RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS," (the most important calling in the history of the world other than The Saviour Himself) wer both liars and adulterers! Along this same line of thinking, if Polygamy was a lie and a false doctrine, as Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley repudiated, it also invalidates his (Joseph Smith's) prophetship and authenticity! It makes the Lord's Chosen Restitutory Prophet, Joseph Smith, a liar and a false prophet for instigating such a doctrine of multiple marriages of one man to many women, (aka Polygyny or more commonly called Polygamy) contrary to the Monogamy believed and practiced by 99% of the so-called "Christian"-world, especially the Catholics, but also followed and adhered by this L.D.S. Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley.   If Polygamy was not true, then neither is the Church true, nor the hope of Eternal Life true, at least as taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith and as taught by the Prophet Brigham Young, who both had writings and teachings which validated Polygamy as ESSENTIAL TO ETERNAL LIFE:
The Prophet Joseph Smith's writings on Polygamy are best found in Doctrine & Covenants 132: verses 3-6 and 28-40 and 45 and 54-55 and 60-62. [But because this is long, we will not write this out here, but later in this treatise.] Just know, for now, that The Lord, according to the Prophet Joseph Smith, states that Joseph Smith "cannot commit adultery with that" [with his several dozen wives for example] "that belongeth unto him and to no one else." --- [D&C 132: verses 60-61] ... "And if he" [the Prophet Joseph Smith in this example, but it also pertains to the Prophet Brigham Young who had 50 wives, or to any of the 50,000 Latter-Day Saints who also practised Polygamy] "have ten virgins given unto him by this LAW, he CANNOT commit adultery; FOR THEY BELONG TO HIM, AND THEY ARE GIVEN UNTO HIM; THEREFORE HE IS JUSTIFIED." --- [Doctrine & Covenants 132: verse 62]
As for something significant written by the 2nd Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Prophet Brigham Young, taught that a man having more than 1 wife is absolutely mandatory in order for that man to inherit Eternal Life, which is The Fulness of ALL That God Has To Offer That Man.
The Prophet Brigham Young's writings are mostly withheld from The Church. On the Church's excellent website: https://       churchofJesusChrist.org, you will not find the writings of the early prophets and apostles known as The Journal of Discourses.
The Journal of Discourses is covered up by the modern Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints because some of the writings of these early prophets and apostles do not coincide with the writings and the teachings of the modern apostles and prophets, which the modern Church teaches moreso. For example, Brigham Young, in The Journal of Discourses, taught two false doctrines! The modern Church does not want you to know about these two false doctrines! Thus they do not include The Journal of Discourses on their website, ChurchofJesusChrist.org. And since some of the modern apostles and prophets are more or less anti-polygamists, such as the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley stating during his interview by Larry King, 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HogSGPZnrNU
that he, [the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley] does not believe Polygamy is scriptually validated and is "not doctrinal."
Which brings up another reason The Journal of Discourses is not included. In it, the Prophet Brigham Young taught just the opposite about Polygamy: that Polygamy is very scripturally validated and is VERY DOCTRINAL!
"If you wish to obtain the blessings which Abraham obtained," states the Prophet Brigham Young, "YOU WILL BE POLYGAMISTS at least in your faith, OR you will come short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true - as that God lives! The man that resists Polygamy in his heart" (such as the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley) "will come short of dwelling in the presence of The Father and The Son, in Celestial Glory. THE ONLY MEN WHO BECOME GODS, EVEN THE SONS OF GOD, ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTO POLYGAMY."

I have found a lack of unity amongst Latter-Day Prophets, a going against what Paul  in the Bible, preached, 
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; but that ye be perfectly JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND and in the ame judgement." --- [1st Corinthians 1:10-13 - quoted verse 10 only]
But the Latter-Day Prophets are NOT "JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND!" In this great restored Church can be found prophets contradicting prophets, such as Gordon B. Hinckley contradicting Joseph Smith and Brigham Young; Brigham Young contradicting everyone; and Russell M. Nelson contradicting Alma and the writings of Joseph Smith as found in D&C 132 and especially D&C 107:43.
Prophets contradicting prophets angers me! Prophets teaching even one false doctrine angers me! I believe a Prophet should walk hand in hand with God, better than any man on earth walks with God. In my estimation, a true Prophet of The Lord is NOT ALLOWED being deceived, as both Spencer W. Kimball (as President of The Church at the time was) and as Gordon B. Hinckley (an apostle at the time but a future Prophet) were deceived. Nor is a Prophet allowed to teach even one false doctrine (which means it is contrary to The Lord's set and established doctrines) and be forgiven and allowed to retain his office and calling as Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 
President/Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley in his interview on Larry King Live was asked, "Are people ever thrown out of your Church? ... For?" The hypocrite answered, "For doing what they shouldn't do; PREACHING FALSE DOCTRINE ... SPEAKING OUT PUBLICALLY. They can carry all the opinion they wish within their head, so to speak, but if they begin too try to persuade others, they may be called in to a disciplinary council. We don't excommunicate many but we do some." [ https:// www. youtube.com/watch?v=jAsNMWwRXvs - start at 10:02 to 10:27 ]
As you hopefully are open-minded enough to see after studying this book, what he said is true for you or I, but for apostles and prophets they can "PREACH FALSE DOCTRINE" and need not worry about judgement or excommunication. They are above the law. Brigham Young taught two "FALSE DOCTRINE" and was never excommunicated. President Kimball in his October 1976 Conference Talk, 'Our Own Liahona', simply whitewashed and minimized Brigham Young's two false teachings, even questioning whether it even happened at all by using the word "alleged":
"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will always teach the orthodox truth. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."
[We will review and expound President Kimball's remarks again in this treatise. It is mentioned here because it shows that although one modern President/Prophet was cognizant of one FALSE DOCTRINE taught by Brigham Young, he failed to mention the other FALSE DOCTRINE - Blood Atonement - which was far worse because it resulted in 40 or more murders indirectly caused by Brigham Young's teaching the doctrine of Blood Atonement in the first place [which we will discuss later] and President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball failed to bring the perpetuator to any form of accountability other than denouncing the "theory" as "FALSE DOCTRINE." The word "theory" also minimizes and whitewashes the "alleged" sin: but understand, it was NOT A "THEORY" but a "FALSE DOCTRINE" which Brigham Young taught repeatedly in front of Conferences of The Church and is written in The Journal of Discourses! [NOTE: Because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does NOT want you to know that the early Church and some of the early apostles and prophets in this dispensation taught some "FALSE DOCTRINE" - they (The Church) do not include The Journal of Discourses on its website, ChurchofJesusChrist.org. In order to find The Journal of Discourses on the internet we must read from an apostate's website revealing The Journal of Discourses. Hopefully this apostate website has not changed or tampered with what the apostles and prophets wrote therein? Such tampering of course is possible, (and cannot be discerned without comparing original books) but hopefully has not happened. Here is one of the many things supposedly written by Brigham Young about "his" Adam-God "Doctrine." --- https://     jod.mrm.org/1/46 ]:
"Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven. Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation.

From: https://www.mrm.org/adam-god
Mormons must insist Brigham Young was a true prophet if they wish to demonstrate an unbroken chain of succession in their leadership. To do so, however, is utterly inconsistent. For example, in his “Seven Deadly Heresies” speech of 1980, LDS Apostle Bruce McConkie taught “anyone who has received the temple endowment and who yet believes the Adam-God theory does not deserve to be saved.” Using this rationale, a Mormon can’t even be sure Brigham was a saved individual. Young received his temple endowment, and Young believed Adam was God.
In a letter dated February 19, 1981, McConkie again expounded this thought when he wrote, “…people who teach false doctrine in the fundamental and basic things will lose their souls. The nature and kind of being that God is, is one of these fundamentals” (pg. 7). Again, if the Adam-God doctrine is false, as leaders such as Kimball and McConkie agree, then we must conclude that Brigham’s soul is lost.

FROM:
Mormon apostle Bruce McConkie states that if anyone teaches a false doctrine like Adam-God, then he will be damned:
"You talk about teaching false doctrine and being damned. Here is a list of false doctrines that if anyone teaches he will be damned. And there is not one of these that I have ever known to be taught in the Church, but I am giving you the list for a perspective because of what will follow. Teach that God is a Spirit, the sectarian trinity. Teach that salvation comes by grace alone, without works. Teach original guilt, or birth sin, as they express it. Teach infant baptism. Teach predestination. Teach that revelation and gifts and miracles have ceased. Teach the Adam-God theory (that does apply in the Church). Teach that we should practice plural marriage today. Now, any of those are doctrines that damn" (Sermons and Writings of Bruce R. McConkie, p. 337).

BYU professor Stephen E. Robinson summarizes the popular Mormon approach to the problem:
"So how do Latter-day Saints deal with the phenomenon? We don't; we simply set it aside. It is an anomaly." (Are Mormons Christians?, p. 19)

Russell M. Nelson taught one "FALSE DOCTRINE" and never faced a "disciplinary council." And the speaker, Gordon B. Hinckley, in this interview, "TRIED TO PERSUADE OTHERS" to believe in his own belief considering Polygamy [ https:// www. youtube.com/watch?v=jAsNMWwRXvs - start at 11:13 to 14:44 ]: "I CONDEMN IT as a practice BECAUSE I THINK IT IS NOT DOCTRINAL. It is not legal."

President/Prophet Wilford Woodruff, in the October 1890 General Conference of The Church, stated: "The Lord will NEVER PERMIT me or any other man who stands as President of this Church TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY. It is NOT in the programme. IT IS NOT IN THE MIND OF GOD. If I were to attempt that, THE LORD WOULD REMOVE ME OUT OF MY PLACE, AND SO HE WILL ANY OTHER MAN WHO ATTEMPTS TO LEAD THE CHILDREN OF MEN ASTRAY from the oracles of God and from their duty."
But that, too, becomes one of the many LIES OF THE PROPHETS!!!
[To see just how bad THAT LIE is, you'll have to wait till the end of this book ...]
All this confusion of doctrine and prophets contradicting prophets angers me! I want The Church to be 100% truth! The SAME TRUTH being taught over and over. I want the Church and the Prophets to ALL be "JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND!"   And, I want The Church to stop covering up the 2% of it that are lies and false doctrines. 
But since The Lord himself permitted these lies and false doctrines and prophets who were guilty of them to continue in The Church unpunished and overlooked, what I want is not going to happen. The world is full of cover-up artists. Donald Trump. China. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These are a few of the great cover up artists that we currently live with. None of them repent. None of them reveal their untruths easily. Even trying to force them into admitting their failings usually revokes vengeance and bitterness instead of transparency and truth.
If you wish to stop reading, that is your choice. Most Latter-Day Saints do NOT want to hear or learn that their so-called "perfect" Church is not so perfect. There are probably at least 500 incidents (imperfections) that have happened in Church History that I am familiar with. And how many more that I am not aware of, I do not know? But there are probably some. Most "pro" Latter-Day Saints are probably like Trump-followers: we don't care that he's an adulterer; that he didn't obey subpoenas when the rest of us would be arrested if we didn't obey subpoenas; that's he cheated people; that he's a liar, etc. We love him and we're going to vote for him! Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump all the way! Most Latter-Day Saints similarly feel that way about their Church and about their current Prophet. They don't want to hear "the other side of the story." They want to "whitewash" it and "cover it up" if it exists at all? I am a member myself but if a Prophet is guilty of such "treason," I don't think it should be covered up or minimized ('whitewashed'). I believe a Prophet should not say or do anything contrary to that God whom he serves.
To me, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the most true Church on the face of the earth, should be 100% transparent, hiding nothing because it has nothing to hide! (I'm not talking about what goes on in the temple or other "SACRED" things that should only be revealed to "WORTHY" individuals.) But The Church hides about 500 things that it does not want you to know. And why does it do that? 1- Because it has about 500 things it is ashamed of. These 500 things makes IT, The Church, look bad. The current President of the United States, Donald Trump, won't reveal his taxes - probably because he's got something to hide there. Maybe many things. And those things might make him look bad. Similarly, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does not want you to know that an apostate, Mark Hoffman, deceived several prophets and apostles. It makes these leaders look like they don't always have the Holy Ghost leading them. The Church does not want you to know that Prophets can be deceived just like the rest of us. Nor does The Church want you to know that President Wilfred Woodruff taught that The Lord will remove a Prophet who teaches false doctrine from his Office of Prophet: yet The Lord did NOT remove Brigham Young from his Office of Prophet for teaching two false doctrines; nor did The Lord remove Gordon B. Hinckley from his Office of Prophet for teaching the doctrine that Polygamy is a false doctrine, which thereby indirectly called Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and 50,000 early Latter-Day Saints ALL ADULTERERS --- because if polygamy was not a true doctrine as Joseph Smith and Brigham Young taught, and Brigham Young even went so far to say that polygamy was an absolute mandatory doctrine in order for men and women to inherit Eternal Life! (or in other words as the Latter-Day Prophet Brigham Young explained it:
"... If you wish to obtain the blessings which Abraham obtained, YOU WILL BE POLYGAMISTS at least in your faith, OR you will come short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true as that God lives. The man that" (or woman that) "resists polygamy in his" (or her) " heart, will come short of dwelling in the presence of the Father and the Son, in Celestial Glory. THE ONLY MEN WHO BECOME GODS, EVEN THE SONS OF GOD, ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTO POLYGAMY."
[ http://jod.mrm.org/11/266 ] If polygamy was not true, as Gordon B. Hinckley said during an interview with Larry King, then the prophets, apostles, and members who practised it, 50,000 members but more importantly some apostles and a few prophets, including not only Brigham Young but the exemplar prophet, Joseph Smith, were all sinners, living in adultery. The Church does not want you to realize that Gordon B. Hinckley contradicted Joseph Smith as well as the scriptures. They don't want you to realize that prophets contradict prophets! 
Nor does The Church want you to know that that same Brigham Young [the 2nd Prophet of The Church] taught The Adam-God Theory, which President Spencer W. Kimball called "false doctrine" in his October 1976 General Conference talk, 'Our Own Liahona.' Nor does The Church want you to know that that same Prophet, Brigham Young, taught what he called, 'Blood Atonement," and that many years later one Ervil LeBaron killed 40 people in the name of 'Blood Atonement.' Charles Manson was convicted of instigating the murder of Sharon Tate and several others, but he Charles Manson never committed a murder himself. His followers did. By the same token, I myself believe that Brigham Young was guilty of indirect murder of at least those 40 people whom Ervil LeBaron murdered in the name of Brigham Young's 'Blood Atonement." To me, Brigham Young, was not only a fallen prophet who should have been excommunicated in his day and removed from office according to the teachings of Wilford Woodruff that The Lord will not permit the head of The Church to teach us false doctrine but will remove that prophet from office, but Brigham Young should be posthumously condemned as a murderer, just as Charles Manson was condemned as such. Yet, The Church mentions nothing about Brigham Young's sins and his big portrait greets you inside the Salt Lake Temple.
Jesus said, [John 18:23], "IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL."
Since we are allowed to bear witness if we find "EVIL" spoken of by Jesus Christ himself, surely it must hold true also if we find "EVIL" spoken of by anyone. Especially if they are Apostles and Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This especially holds true if we quote [Doctrine & Covenants 1:38]:
"... Whether By Mine Own Voice, OR By The Voice Of My Servants, IT IS THE SAME."

THE SADDEST THING  ABOUT THAT STATEMENT [D&C 1:38] IS THAT IF YOU FIND EVEN 1 PROPHET TEACHING 1 LIE (A FALSE DOCTRINE IS A LIE!) THEN IT ALSO MEANS THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS INDIRECTLY, THROUGH THE PROPHET THAT JESUS ALLOWED TO TEACH US THAT LIE (FALSE DOCTRINE) AND NOT REMOVE THAT WICKED PROPHET FROM BEING A PROPHET--- THAT JESUS HIMSELF HAS ALSO LIED TO US!!!!!!!!!

Can you find that 1 Prophet who has taught us a Lie (a False Doctrine)?

This book is about finding that. I do not believe The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is false, but I have found at least 4 Prophets who have taught us LIES! And what I bear witness of is that you must not sustain a prophet unless he teaches truth. And you shouldn't believe he teaches truth just because of his "office or calling of prophet." You should know the scriptures so well that you KNOW when an apostle or a prophet goes against the scriptures. Does a Prophet have a "right" to contradict other prophets, as Gordon B. Hinckley did? Does a Prophet have a "right" to contradict the scriptures as Russell M. Nelson has? I assert NO! They have a right to do away with non-eternal programs such as Home Teaching, but not to say you cannot perfect yourself in this life, as President Nelson said, when dozens of scriptures say contrary to his teaching and one scripture especially states the validity of the thought and proves him wrong: D&C 107:43: "And he, Seth, was a PERFECT MAN."
Jesus also said: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - [John 8:32] 
How shall "the truth" make you "free"? It makes you "free" from sin [John 8:34]. But relative to this "truth" making you free from sin, it first makes you free from error - from believing false things. With the exception of the coercian of drugs, there is always choice. Because of a person's agency of choice, any "truth" can be rejected by anyone. It doesn't matter how true something is, there will always be someone who willl reject it.   This includes even "the truth"of Jesus Christ. Yet when a "truth" is rejected, or covered up for that matter, as though it does not exist --- it still exists! Just because a "truth" is not recognized does not make it untrue. 
 "For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?" [Romans 3:3]
"If we believe not, ye He abideth faithful; He cannot deny Himself."                           [2nd Timothy 2:13]
Whether accepted, rejected, or unknown -  "truth" will always be truth, just as God will always be God, and Jesus will always be Jesus. Concerning moments in time, we cannot change what has been spoken or  done, whether by man, or by God. Yes, perspective and belief can change, repentance can happen resulting in forgiveness for what has been spoken or done, but the actual moment in time when a thing was voiced, or, worse yet, the actual moment in time when a thing was acted out, remains forever in its sphere of time unchanged. Even under the change of repentance, God does not go back and undo what has been done. Because of this fact, that some things cannot be undone, some actions can not be repented of. nor forgiven. In this sphere of forgiving, it is easier to change something said than something done. For example, you can change saying, "I do not believe in living prophets," to, "I believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has living prophets;" but if you murder someone --- you cannot change that, you cannot bring the murdered person back to life or undo the slitting of his throat ...
[John 8:32] fails to mention that there are at least two types of "truth" that co-exist. To me they are called Positive Truth, and, Negative Truth. Positive Truth and Negative Truth co-exist as part of the  "OPPOSITION IN ALL THINGS." -  [2nd Nephi 2:11]. Sadly to say this "OPPOSITION" also sometimes exists among the Prophets. 
The Apostle Paul wrote, [1st Corinthians 1:10 ], "... That Ye ALL Speak The Same Thing ... That There Be NO DIVISIONS Among You: But That Ye Be Perfectly JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND And In The Same  Judgement." 
Sadly to say there are at least four Latter-Day Prophets who do not "Speak The Same Thing," and are NOT "Perfectly JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND And In The Same  Judgement" with other Prophets. These four vary from The STANDARDS of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And what are The Standards of said Church? It isn't Russell M. Nelson as much as you might think he is. Or whoever is the living prophet in his time and season.  The STANDARDS are Joseph Smith and the Scriptures. In all things, at least one person or writing must be set up as a Standard for comparison and arguments. For example, in the United States of America the US Constitution is the Standard. The laws of all 50 States must adhere to that Constitution. When a State Law goes against The US Constitution, the Law is invalidated BY THE CONSTITUTION. In The Church, if an Apostle or Prophet goes against The Church's 2 Standards, which are Joseph Smith and/or The Scriptures, you can rest assured that what that Apostle or Prophet has said is FALSE DOCTRINE. 
During the 1976 October General Conference, President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, rebuked an earlier Prophet for teaching FALSE DOCTRINE - NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
It starts at the 3:46 minute:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1976/10/our-own-liahona?lang=eng
You should watch that link, but here is what President Kimball said:
"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will always teach the orthodox truth. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."
We will go into President Kimball's remarks later in this treatise, but I mention it here because it is necessary for you to realize that a modern President/Prophet of The Church (one whom a lot of us remember and recognize) has acknowledged that some General Authorities have taught FALSE DOCTRINE. Furthermore, it was not just in "past generations." Two recent Prophets have also taught FALSE DOCTRINE. These two prophets, incidentally, have said their evil FALSE DOCTRINE since, or after, the admonition of President Kimball. These two prophets have disregarded the "orthodox truth" "ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES" advocated by their prophet-peer, Spencer W. Kimball.

The 1st Prophet To  Bear Witness Of Teaching False Doctrine  Is Russell M. Nelson --- 

Joseph Smith wrote in [Doctrine & Covenants 107:43] that "he (Seth) was a PERFECT man." In the first place Joseph could not have known this without REVELATION - OR GOD TELLING HIM THAT "(Seth) was a PERFECT man." There is nothing in The Bible about this. Nor in other known writings. It was clearly REVELATION! And since it was REVELATION, and ALL REVELATION IS GIVEN THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST, who only revelates what he is told by Jesus Christ to revelate, or in some cases told by God The Father, it has to be correct doctrine! It is God's Doctrine! It is the doctrine of Jesus Christ that we should know that Seth was a "PERFECT man!"
In writing what The Lord taught him, that, "he (Seth) was a PERFECT man", Joseph was not referring to Seth being a PERFECT man in the next life, as President/Prophet Russell M Nelson tries to get us to believe in saying "Perfection comes not in this life but in the next life" - for in 1835 when Joseph wrote D&C 107:43, the Mellennium (or Next Life) had not yet happened. Or is it easier for you to believe that Joseph was given a revelation concerning that next life, concerning the Mellennium, as President Russell M. Nelson as a perfection-in-the-Millennium advocate might suggest? Is it easier for you to believe that Joseph was given a view of Seth in the Mellennium; or that Joseph was given a revelation concerning Seth's earthly existence? 
Nor was Joseph saying Seth had been perfected in the spirit world, after Seth had died but not been resurrected yet.
Joseph referred to Seth being a PERFECT man IN THIS LIFE. While Seth lived on, THIS EARTH, in THIS LIFE, Seth had PERFECTED himself! One of these prophets, either Joseph Smith or Russell M. Nelson, is wrong! There is a contradiction here! I, Erving Lambert, an ordinary member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, challenge Russell M. Nelson's doctrinal statement, "Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life," and proclaim that Russell M. Nelson has changed this Doctrine of Perfection, has minimized it and whitewashed it (glossed over it as if it is not important). Another Prophet, Spencer W. Kimball, taught something that President Nelson needs to be chastened about and remember: "Always teach the orthodox truth" (orthodox meaning conforming to established doctrines). "We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES." - [October 1976 Conference Talk, Our Own Liahona by President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball].
There is NOTHING in the scriptures that collaborates "Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life," as Russell M. Nelson and his fellow apostle, Jeffrey R. Holland [October 2017 Conference Talk], try to teach us to believe. 
[Alma 34:32-33] for example states: "For behold, THIS LIFE is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of THIS LIFE is the day for men to perform their labors. ... for after this day of life  ... cometh the night of darkness, wherein there can be no labor performed." [Alma 12:24] states: "THIS LIFE became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God ..." [1st Nephi 3:7] adds: "I will go and DO the things" (IN THIS LIFE!) "which The Lord hath commanded, for I know that The Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save He shall prepare a way for them" (in THIS LIFE!) "that they may accomplish the thing which He commandeth them."  And what has The Lord commandeth us to DO IN THIS LIFE, over and over, not just once but many times because it is so important: "Be ye therefore PERFECT," [Mathew 5:48] is just one of several dozen examples of this Godly Doctrine that The Lord requires of us, that The Lord and Seth showed to us that it can be done! The Lord does not lie about GODLINESS AND PERFECTION, or minimize it, or whitewash it (gloss it over because it is beyond most of us) as President Nelson does in saying things like, 'DO your best in this life and in the next life you'll be perfected.' He has changed the concept to fit the weaknesses, discouragements, and lack of enthusiasm of 99% of Our Church Members. He is doing something similar to what Satan did in the premortal life [Moses 4:1] in saying,  "I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost." President Nelson has changed the concept of basically Perfecting yourself IN THIS LIFE so that indirectly and unspokenly President Nelson sort of subtly whispers to us similar to what Satan subtly whispers, 'I will redeem all members of The Church, so that not even one soul shall be lost from inheriting the Top Kingdom of Eternal Life.' But this allusion is FALSE DOCTRINE AND FALSE HOPE, for The Lord's Plan of Salvation [Doctrine & Covenants 132:22-23] states: "For straight is the gate and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT --- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD" (meaning in THIS WORLD, in THIS LIFE, Brother Nelson!) "neither do ye know me. BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation." That scripture is not saying '--- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE MELLENNIUM' or '--- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE NEXT LIFE'. Read the words! Read my lips as the saying goes! It states: "--- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD! ...  BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD --- THEN SHALL YE KNOW ME!" It is NOT SAYING, 'If ye receive me in the Millennium,' or, 'If ye receive me in the Next Life.' It states quite clearly for those like myself who will receive it: THIS LIFE! THIS WORLD!
Brother Holland, you are an apostle, and Brother Nelson, you are a Prophet (I don't dispute either of your callings and your 98% correct teachings which generally follow the scriptures) but, with this, you are both wrong about the Doctrine of Perfection! If Perfection were as easy and as commonplace to acquire as you want it to be for all members of The Church, that all you have to do is live your best in this life and in the Mellennium (or Next Life) you will be stronger than you are here, then weaker Church members are on the same level of spirituality here as strong Church members, and there is no reason to excel here as long as you are a weak member of The Church. "Eat, drink, and be merry;" as [2nd Nephi 28:8] states; "nevertheless, fear God --- He will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last," [in the Millennium as Brother Nelson teaches] "we shall be saved in the kingdom of God." If you are not strong enough to do it in this life, why do you think you will be stronger in the next life? The same failings and character flaws you have here will follow you there! Anyone who seeks perfection with all his heart, mind, and soul can probably acheive it within 5 years of concentrated effort HERE. Most of us have many 5 years available to us HERE IN THIS LIFE; why do you think a thousand years there in the next life will acheive it if you cannot become serious enough with yourself to do it here? Perhaps because Satan will be bound for a thousand years, you think? Whatever. Re-read the scriptures above and keep continuing to believe that Jeffrey R. Holland and Russell M. Nelson are inspired enough to change what is written in The Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants to accomodate weaker members of The Church these days. After all, The Book of Mormon was written by dead prophets 2000 years ago who didn't know as much as our modern prophet Russell M. Nelson, right? Stay on the path of our modern prophet,  sin a little, it sounds great doesn't it?, yet in the end still be rewarded fully just like Seth and Abraham and Joseph Smith and others who worked out their exaltations IN THIS LIFE. Isn't it wonderful? They worked so hard but you don't need to! If Jeffrey R. Holland and Russell M. Nelson are right that you do not have to do everything here, and Nephi and Alma and Joseph Smith and others are wrong that you MUST do it here, as well as D&C 132:22-23, then don't worry: procrastinate as much as you want. But if Jeffrey R. Holland and Russell M. Nelson are wrong, as multiple witnesses attest that they are, then you will probably, in being mis-led by them, find yourself inheriting one of the two lesser kingdoms of the Celestial Kingdom. Which brings up a good point. Why should there even be three kingdoms in the Celestial Kingdom --- and not just 1 Kingdom? If everyone's going to make it to the top kingdom of Eternal Life anyway, then there's no need for two other kingdoms. Logically the reason there are 3 kingdoms in the Celestial Kingdom [Doctrine & Covenants 131:1-4 / 2nd Corinthians 12:2] is because most Members of The Church will NOT make the grade to inherit that Eternal Life and Godhood of the Celestial Kingdom's top kingdom! Most of us will fall short of it! "AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT --- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN (THIS) WORLD!" And thus The Lord has created two other Celestial Kingdoms for those who are not valiant enough "IN THE WORLD" to find the top kingdom;  for those who are valiant enough to do the works of angels (the first two kingdoms) but not valiant enough to do the works of Gods ("the 3rd heaven" --- 2nd Corinthians 12:2).  Most "Churchy" people will probably find themselves in either of these two lesser Celestial glories. Do you argue it and claim there is no need for these two lesser kingdoms of the Celestial Kingdom? Just because you are married in the temple does not assure Eternal Life as Doctrine & Covenants 131:1-4 alludes ...
Nowhere in the Scriptures can you find The Lord, or even one of The Lord's Prophets or Apostles, collaborating President Nelson's implication: 'Be ye therefore perfect in the Milennium.' It just isn't found! This Doctrine taught by President Nelson, "Perfection comes not in this life but in the next life," IS NOT SCRIPTURAL! The Lord and His Apostles and Prophets of Bible and Book of Mormon times taught a higher, tougher law than the Prophets and Apostles of today teach, with the exception of Joseph Smith. Which is why Joseph Smith is the ultimate Standard, rather than the current living prophet. Joseph Smith is the only Prophet of these Latter-Days who taught things the way they should be taught! The Prophets since Joseph Smith teach an easier, lower law. Joseph Smith taught that same higher law that The Lord Jesus Christ teaches because Joseph Smith was The Lord's Restoration Prophet. It was Joseph Smith's job to not change things, to not make things easy enough for every active member to do, but to bring back the tough hard-to-do things which were lost and stolen - to bring them back, tough and hard-to-live as they are, as they are found in The Bible and in The Book of Mormon. But with the death of Joseph Smith, succeeding Prophets, starting with Brigham Young, began changing things restored by Joseph Smith, began changing the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that more people could partake of Eternal Life: which is not meant to be! (Eternal Life is not meant to be inherited by every member of The Church. When Doctrine & Covenants 132:22-23 states, "AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT, BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD, NEITHER DO YE KNOW ME. BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, THEN SHALL YE KNOW ME, AND SHALL RECEIVE YOUR EXALTATION," that speaks to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who do not pray unceasingly, for example, as well as to non-members who do not pray at all. There are many scriptures which teach us that we need to perfect ourselves IN THIS LIFE, and when it says "BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD, NEITHER DO YE KNOW ME," anyone who rejects the Doctrine of Perfection IN THIS LIFE, should, if God is not a liar according to His scriptures bearing witness of what we must comply with, fall short of Eternal Life.
Woe to these Latter-Day Prophets who have strayed from what Joseph Smith brought back!
The following is a little off-topic, but it demonstrates quite well how some of the doctrines of The Church started going downhill immediatelly with the second prophet of The Church, Brigham Young. (For example, concerning another doctrine, commonly referred to as The Word of Wisdom [Doctrine & Covenants 89] Joseph Smith taught [verse 9] that "HOT drinks are not for the body or belly." But someone, I suspect Brigham Young, but no one I have encountered in The Church can tell me who changed "HOT drinks" to specifically mean Coffee or Tea? Section 89 is listed as a Revelation given to Joseph Smith. IF that is so, then The Lord said, "HOT drinks" in this Revelation and there was no need for some other prophet to change "HOT drinks" to mean specifically coffee or tea! Do you think The Lord didn't know about coffee and tea when He revelated to Joseph to call it "HOT drinks?" It was not about caffeine! It was about "HOT" being very bad for "the body and belly." "HOT" is far worse than caffeine! If The Lord had wanted to make it about caffeine, He would have revelated to Joseph Smith in the first place: 'Coffee and Tea'.  But coffee and tea can be consumed cold. Furthermore, coffee and tea is a great allusion as an interpretation of what a "HOT drink" means. There are many "HOT" drinks besides coffee and tea! "HOT" Postum, "HOT" chocolate, even "HOT" soup are just as bad for your "body and belly" as "HOT" Coffee and Tea! Some scientists and some nutritionists even assert that coffee is good for you! Many claim that Green Tea is one of the best nutritional drinks in the world! High in anti-oxidants. Furthermore, if the caffeine in Coffee and Tea were the true culprit for the CHANGE in Doctrinal Interpretation, then The Church should addend The Word of Wisdom to also included Coke, Pepsi, energy drinks, and anything with cafeine in it. But they haven't! The Change to [Doctrine & Covenants 89:9] is a great example of 'Prophet flaw!' --- of something being changed by another Prophet which should have never been changed! This is exactly what President Nelson is guilty of, too. 'Prophet flaw'  - concerning his revised interpretation of Perfection. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REVISED! Just like The Lord knew what He was saying when He revelated, "HOT DRINKS," The Lord knew what He was saying when He revelated, "THIS LIFE is the day for men to perform their labors," [Alma 34:32-33], and, "For straight is the gate and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT --- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD", NEITHER DO YE KNOW ME. BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, THEN SHALL YE KNOW ME, AND SHALL RECEIVE YOUR EXALTATION." - [Doctrine & Covenants 132:22-23]
Bruce R. McConkie, I believe, recognized that modern apostles and prophets are not as wise or as knowledgeable as Biblical and Book of Mormon prophets. Let's add to this thought, neither are any of the Prophets or Apostles AFTER Joseph Smith as wise or as knowledgable as Joseph Smith was. Brother McConkie stated: "We have yet to gain that full knowledge and understanding of the doctrines of salvation and the mysteries of the kingdom that were possessed by many of the ancient Saints."
Although many criticize Paul, besides Joseph Smith, there are, in my opinion, only two other writers in the scriptures in which the Fulness of The Gospel is presented: Isaiah, and Paul. Although some of the teachings of Paul are confusing, 99% of what Paul wrote is powerful truth that President Nelson needs to learn and absorb! Paul taught things like "the acknowledging of the TRUTH WHICH IS AFTER GODLINESS, in hope of Eternal Life," [Titus 1:1-2]; he taught "That the man of God may be PERFECT," [2nd Timothy 3:17]; "teaching every man ... that we may present EVERY MAN PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS," [Colossians 1:28]; "Examine yourselves whether ye be in the FAITH; PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES! ... For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ... And this also we wish, EVEN YOUR PERFECTION," [2nd Corinthians 13:5 & 8-9]. While Jesus and Paul exhorted us to become PERFECT IN THIS LIFE, that they "wish, EVEN YOUR PERFECTION," IN THIS LIFE; while Joseph Smith stated in [Doctrine & Covenants 107:43] that "Seth was a PERFECT man" who had become this way IN THIS LIFE; while The Book of Mormon repeatedly states that "THIS LIFE is the day for men to perform their labors" (of trying to become PERFECT), [Alma 34:32-33] and other places; President Nelson and Jeffrey R. Holland meanwhile contradict such teachings by Jesus, Paul, Alma, and by The Book of Mormon and Bible and Doctrine & Covenants! President Nelson and Jeffrey R. Holland teach their own viewpoints of, Dont work too hard, dont worry about it, don't try to perfect yourself in this life, just do the best you can for now, blah blah blah, and in the Milennium, or are they speaking about the Spirit World as the 'Next Life', I don't know?! - either way they are non-scriptural viewpoints!!! which sort of sound like what Nephi warned against in [2nd Nephi 28 verse 8]:
"And there shall also be many" (including a few prophets and apostles) "which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God---He will justify in committing a little sin;" (in THIS LIFE) ... "and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes; and at the last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God."
The truth of the matter is that President Nelson (although he is a prophet) TEACHES FALSE DOCTRINE HERE! He's indirectly teaching "God will justify in committing a little sin" IN THIS LIFE; don't worry about that, and then President Nelson teaches the false doctrine that, "being guilty," (you will) only be "beaten with a few stripes" by God (for not having worked as hard as you should have IN THIS LIFE); "and at last we shall be saved" (from your additional works in the Millennium) "in the kingdom of God."
Joseph Smith said "Seth was a PERFECT man," [Doctrine & Covenants 107:43]. The Bible mentions Job was PERFECT, [Job1:1];  and Noah was PERFECT, [Genesis 6:9]. I wouldn't doubt others like John the Baptist, Elijah, Moses, Abraham, and Enoch were also PERFECT MEN IN THIS LIFE! IF we do not have pre-existing conditions, such as oweing back taxes which we are financially unable to pay, any one of us can be perfect for an hour. Perfect for a day. Perfect for a week, for a month, even for the rest of our lives. It's not the idea that we cannot PERFECT ourselves for a while; it's the idea of sustaining that PERFECTION! Of ENDURING the rest of your life with it! You cannot tell me, nor can the prophet, Russell M. Nelson, positively assert, that no man (not speaking of Jesus here but of other holy men such as Elijah who was taken into heaven on a chariot not tasting of death; or Abraham whose final test of perfection was offering up his beloved son, Isaac), were not PERFECT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES! Evidently that was what happened with SETH too,  [Doctrine & Covenants 107:43]. Seth was not perfect for his entire life. He disciplined himself, worked his rear end off, and grew into it. Only Jesus was a perfect man for His entire life. But that does not mean that Jesus was the only mortal who has ever lived Perfection for a time. Perfection is nearly impossible but not totally impossible. "For with God nothing shall be impossible!" [Luke 1:37] Where is your faith? Where is Jeffrey R. Holland's and Russell M. Nelson's faith? (And don't condemn me, Erving Lambert, an ordinary member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for chastening an Apostle and for chastening a Prophet! Some Apostles and Prophets sometimes need to be chastened and corrected because they are in error! Even Apostles and Prophets sometimes fall. Let me remind you of the Prophet Jonah, and of the Apostle Judas). If I or if you or if Jeffrey R. Holland or if Russell M. Nelson were to sincerely cry unto The Lord, "Heavenly Father, I really, really, want to PERFECT MYSELF IN THIS LIFE" before I die ---  Do you think it would be impossible for The Lord to grant your prayer, or their prayers? Is it too hard for The Lord or too impossible for The Lord IN THIS LIFE to help you to become Perfect? The Lord just cannot do it? It's just not possible with The Lord, and we finally found something He cannot do? If you want PERFECTION as much as Abraham wanted it, and Enoch wanted it, and Seth wanted it and gained it, as Joseph Smith REVELATED FROM GOD THAT SETH HAD OBTAINED IT BEFORE HE DIED! [D&C 107:43]) --- YOU CAN BECOME PERFECT IN THIS LIFE!!! It isn't unobtainable as Jeffrey R. Holland and Russell M. Nelson falsely would have you believe it is: IT'S SIMPLY THAT WE  NOT WANT IT BADLY ENOUGH!!! And this includes our modern prophet! He doesn't want it as much as Enoch wanted Perfection; he doesn't want it as much as Elijah wanted Perfection; or Abraham wanted it; or Seth wanted it. The faith of Russell M. Nelson is great but it is NOT THE FAITH of Enoch, Elijah, Abraham, or Seth ... There are great prophets and there are lesser prophets ... Russell M. Nelson is not in the category of Enoch, Elijah, Abraham, or Seth. If he were he wouldn't be teaching, 'Ease up;" he'd be teaching, 'You got to man up, get tough with yourself! Perfection is possible in this life for those who set their mind to it!'
Who are we to believe? Are you to discard all these witnesses, including the most powerful and knowledgeable witness, besides Jesus Christ, who ever lived, Joseph Smith? Joseph Smith who claimed that "he (Seth) was a PERFECT man?" [Doctrine & Covenants 107:43] Does Russell M. Nelson believe that Joseph Smith was mistaken about Seth? That Joseph Smith didn't know what he was talking about? That it was not something Joseph Smith wrote from revelation (meaning The Lord revealed this knowledge to Joseph Smith about Seth) but something Joseph Smith just ... wrote on his own, just made up? Or perhaps he believes Seth was the  exception to the rule, but the rule for all the rest of us is that we cannot become perfect in this life? And thus don't do anything "unreasonable" like fasting for 40 days --- because you are not in the calibre of Moses and Elijah and Jesus who did that, and it won't perfect you anyway because perfection is not possible for you in this life, according to the two false witnesses on the subject, Jeffrey R. Holland and Russell M. Nelson. Both of them want to group everyone into the same category that they are stuck in because they want to be stuck there: it's beyond them so it has to be beyond everyone else. After all he is The Prophet so he should be the strongest spiritual person in the world, right? If he can't do it, none of us can, right? If he can't do it, how could Seth have done it? Or perhaps Brother Nelson just has not read the verse? Or fogotten it? Whatever! Whatever! Whatever Brother Nelson's retort or excuse - in my view it is reprehensible that a Prophet of The Lord should speak so contrary to the teachings of The Scriptures! That a Prophet of The Lord should speak so contrary to the teachings of more knowledgeable prophets than he. In saying, "Perfection is not in this life," Russell M. Nelson indirectly calls Joseph Smith a liar. In saying what he says he indirectly states that the Doctrine & Covenants has an error in it! If that's the case, since he is The Prophet of The Church, why doesn't he just change [D&C 107:43] to: "he (Seth) was a near-perfect man ..."
There are multiple witnesses in the scriptures that dis-prove President Nelson's remark: "Be patient with yourself. Perfection comes not in this life but in the next. Don't demand things that are unreasonable."
Perfection in itself IS unreasonable! Just like keeping any commandment is unreasonable to someone who DOES NOT WANT TO WORK FOR IT!
Doctrine & Covenants 132:22-23 alludes: "For straight is the gate and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and CONTINUATION OF THE LIVES, AND FEW there be that find it--- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THIS WORLD! ... But if ye receive me IN THIS WORLD, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation." 
IF you truly and completely and totally receive the Saviour IN THIS WORLD you will truly and completely and totally follow Him! "What manner of MEN" (IN THIS LIFE) "OUGHT YE TO BE? Verily I say unto you, EVEN AS I AM!", [3rd Nephi 27:27]. "Therefore I would that YE SHALL BE PERFECT, EVEN AS I", [3rd Nephi 12:48] (EVEN AS THE SAVIOUR IN THIS LIFE WAS PERFECT, EVEN AS SETH AND JOB AND NOAH AND PROBABLY JOHN THE BAPTIST WHOM JESUS SAID THERE WAS NO GREATER PROPHET THAN JOHN), AND MOSES, AND ELIJAH AND ABRAHAM AND ENOCH WERE PROBABLY ALL PERFECTED MEN.   "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, THE WORKS THAT I DO, SHALL HE DO ALSO!", [John 14:12]. "I will go and DO the things which The Lord hath commanded, for I know that The Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save He shall PREPARE A WAY FOR THEM THAT THEY MAY ACCOMPLISH THE THING WHICH HE COMMANDETH THEM." [1st Nephi 3:7] 
I bear testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, that that "WAY" prepared by God to perfect ourselves is PRAYER, more than anything else, it is PRAYER. Does the scripture support my testimony of this to you? Yes it does! For those who perfect themselves whether in THIS LIFE, or in the next life as Brother Nelson would have you believe, that perfection either way is "PERFECT LOVE":  
[Moroni 8:26] states: "And because of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of the Holy Ghost, which Comforter filleth with hope and PERFECT LOVE --- WHICH LOVE ENDURETH BY DILIGENCE UNTO PRAYER!"
Any one of us who prays several hundred times everyday, who follows the commandment in [Doctrine & Covenants 19:38] to "PRAY ALWAYS, and I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON YOU," and the dozen or so similar scriptures that state, "pray unceasingly" "pray without ceasing," etc. and follows the great companion scripture, ", [Doctrine & Covenants 6:36], to "LOOK UNTO ME IN EVERY THOUGHT," will eventually PERFECT themselves in Christ! And THAT can be done IN THIS LIFE ... These 2 Scriptures [Moroni 8:26 and Doctrine & Covenants 6:36] hold the SECRET to Perfecting oneself IN THIS LIFE ... You do not have to wait for the Millennium to "Look Unto Me In Every Thought" or to "Pray Always." You can do it now! Starting right now even!
"Yea, come unto Christ, and be PERFECTED in Him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind, and strength," ((( MORE THAN YOU LOVE FOOTBALL, MORE THAN YOU LOVE THE INTERNET, OR WATCHING MOVIES, AND ESPECIALLY MORE THAN UNCHASTITY AND MONEY ))) "then is His grace sufficient for you, that BY HIS GRACE YE MAY BE PERFECT IN CHRIST," [Moroni 10:32].
All of us are in different stages of conversion. Conversion to what???!!! Conversion to live absolute GODLINESS AND PERFECTION AND SACRIFICE IF NEEDED!!! Which is what Jesus meant in telling Peter, the greatest Apostle of all: "When thou art CONVERTED, strengthen thy brethren," [Luke 22:31-32]. Just like Peter was not totally converted, (mostly because he feared for his life at the time, that he feared he might be crucified along with the Saviour and therefore he lied that he knew Jesus; but later repented of that and ended up being crucified upside down in his love and devotion and SACRIFICE to the Saviour), not every Apostle, and not every Prophet, is willing to follow the Saviour with 100% conviction, or, with 100% BELIEF in the doctrines of The Church. Because of this unbelief, a few Apostles have left the Church, and a few Apostles and even Prophets (I know of 4 of them which I write about here) have taught FALSE DOCTRINES (and every false doctrine is a LIE) after their own interpretations and beliefs.
I have knowledge that at least 4 Latter-day Prophets have taught FALSE DOCTRINES (LIES). Besides Russell M. Nelson teaching the FALSE DOCTRINE that no man can become perfected in this life, the three other prophets of whom I am aware that they have taught FALSE DOCTRINES AND LIES are Gordon B. Hinckley, Wilford Woodruff, and especially Brigham Young!
The 2nd Prophet To  Bear Witness Of Is Gordon B. Hinckley -
During an interview with Larry King, Gordon B. Hinckley, was asked if he condemned Polygamy? Gordon B. Hinckley, the Prophet of The Church, said, "I condemn it as a practice because I think it is NOT DOCTRINAL!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HogSGPZnrNU
"NOT DOCTRINAL!  NOT DOCTRINAL!" There are probably more verses in The Bible on Polygamy than there are verses on Baptism! 
The Book of Mormon meanwhile CONTRADICTS ITSELF on it! Jacob 2:23-28 appears to be AGAINST Polygamy while 2nd Nephi 14:1 is definitely FOR Polygamy. 
[Jacob 2:27] states: "For there shall not any man among you have save it be One Wife; and Concubines he shall have none." 
[2nd Nephi 14:1] however CONTRADICTS this view by repeating [Isaiah 4:1]: "And in that day 7 WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF 1 MAN, SAYING, ... LET US BE CALLED BY THY NAME ..." 
We claim The Book of Mormon is the most CORRECT book on earth. But it is not a perfect book! There is an obvious CONTRADICTION in it. Can CONTRADICTION ever be labeled CORRECT!? CONTRADICTION is two opposing viewpoints. Logically one of them has to be in ERROR! Either, one is correct, or the other. Why would God cause Isaiah 4:1, "And in that day 7 WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF 1 MAN, SAYING, ... LET US BE CALLED BY THY NAME ..." be requoted and included in The Book of Mormon? (Not only could God just as easily have left Isaiah 4:1 out of The Book of Mormon, especially if God Himself were against Polygamy! - as Jacob declares God was: "which thing was abominable before me, saith The Lord [verse 24]) - and Gordon B. Hinckley believes also --- only for God to refute these two prophets and inconsistently deny their claims, CONTRADICT their claims --- in another part of the same "MOST CORRECT BOOK ON EARTH," The Book of Mormon?! Who are we to believe? 
(I offer it as my opinion, I do not know for sure, that Jacob was not totally inspired in [Jacob 2:23-28], that part of what he wrote was Jacob's own dislike and hatred of Polygamy. There have been many, including Gordon B. Hinckley, Oliver Cowdery, Emma Smith, who have hated Polygamy. (Some have left The Church over it. Emma started a new church - without Polygamy included in it.) So it is not so far-fetched to believe that Jacob, even though he was an included contributor in our precious Book of Mormon, could also have included some of his own opinions. You might argue, 'But Jacob said it in the name of The Lord: quote - "saith The Lord." Anyone can claim to speak in the name of The Lord. And as we will see with Spencer W. Kimball (yet to come - keep reading) A PROPHET CAN BE DECEIVED! The Prophet Spencer W. Kimball was deceived 400 times by Mark Hoffman!!! And frankly, Gordon B. Hinckley, was a part of that too, and Gordon B. Hinckley was also deceived 400 times by Mark Hoffman!!! So it isn't so far-fetched to believe that Jacob could have claimed "- "saith The Lord," but part of Jacob's writings were Jacob's own viewpoints.
Furthermore, if The Lord truly did speak these CONTRADICTIONS found in [Jacob 2:23-28] and [2nd Nephi 14:1], it shows that The Lord Himself CONTRADICTED HIMSELF! Is it easier to believe Jacob was the Contradictor, or Joseph Smith? Is it easier to accept that Jacob spoke in error, or The Lord? Choose for yourself whom you will believe, but the CONTRADICTIONS are indisputably there in The Book of Mormon, the book of books. For me, I believe Jacob and Gordon B. Hinckley are the ones in error about Polygamy; that Joseph Smith and The Lord are correct. That Heavnly Father indeed has multiple wives, and He, through Jesus Christ, always teaches us what He Himself lives. He teaches us Polygamy, because He Himself lives it!
Another theory, again unproven, is that when Jacob said, "For there shall not any man AMONG YOU have save it be One Wife," he wasn't speaking about every Godly people of The Lord that has ever lived, or who has ever lived anywhere on the face of the earth, or the people of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young when Polygamy was restored: it could have been that Jacob was simply referring to his time, to his people. He was the Prophet and Leader over them. The key phrase to support this theory is, "AMONG YOU," or in other words, it could have meant, 'AMONG MY PEOPLE'? 'AMONG MY PEOPLE' you shall only have one wife ...
Again, I do not know for sure why [Jacob 2:23-28] CONTRADICTS BOTH THE BOOK OF MORMON, AND,  CONTRADICTS BOTH JOSEPH SMITH, AND, THE DOCTRINE & COVENANTS.
Here's how it CONTRADICTS The Doctrine & Covenants:
[Jacob 2:23-28] talks about the two KINGS, David and Solomon - who both sinned enormously because of their lusts - David in his lust for Bathsheba; and Solomon in his lust for 1000 women to have sex with! This is found in [1st Kings 11:1-3], which paraphrased says: "But King Solomon loved many strange women ... of which The Lord said, Ye shall not go to them, for they shall turn away your heart after their gods." But Solomon disobeyed that commandment "And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: AND HIS WIVES TURNED AWAY HIS HEART." As for David, he lost eternal life over his lust for Bathsheba! David went from eventually becoming a god himself to live in the highest kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, to living in the lowest kingdom of the Telestial Kingdom with murderers like  Genghis Khan, Ted Bundy, and Adolph Hitler. So it is easy to understand why Jacob wrote in [Jacob 2:24] about the two kings:  "David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was ABOMINABLE before Me, saith The Lord."
Before moving to the CONTRADICTION with The Doctrine & Covenants with these verses in Jacob, let's delve a few minutes on a couple of insights here.
Jacob had records of the Jews. Probably in those records there was a mention somewhere of Abraham and Moses and others having more than 1 wife. This is speculative  of course, but notice that there was no mention of anyone else, of any Prophet for example, having multiple wives. It was all about those two KINGS! There is another verse in the Old Testament, and another verse in 3rd Nephi or somewhere in which Polygamy by KINGS is condemned by The Lord! And why? As I see it for several reasons. A- A King can be like a dictator and take what he wants! A dictator King can steal all the fair maidens of his kingdom and marry them or just have them as concubines for sex! That sounds pretty evil and worth condemning, doesn't it? Especially in light that it happened with Solomon who had 700 wives and 300 concubines, [1st Kings 11:1-3]. An ordinary man on the other hand cannot take just any woman he wants, whether to marry her or just to sex her as a concubine. He has to have money to buy her, or good looks, or something that attracts her. So as you can see, hopefully, kings and dictators are especially bad news when they have an insatiable sexual appetite! So not only does The Lord particularly condemn Polygamy among kings, but perhaps Jacob also saw the problem that kings can have with Polygamy and particularly spoke on the evil of those two kings, David and Solomon, to protect future kingdoms if they should ever have kings again.
With Solomon, his wives stole away his heart and focus to The Lord. This also is a danger that anyone with too many wives and concubines can encounter! If all you're doing is having sex all day long, there's not much focus left for The Lord. 
In [Doctrine & Covenants 132:38-39] it states that Polygamous Wives are given BY THE LORD to righteous men. If a King like Solomon starts taking wives and/or concubines on his own without The Lord's permission, this would be in disobedience to The Lord, and his wives would be unauthorized.
The Lord is all about doing things righteously - within HEAVENLY LAWS. For example, you can make love to a woman because that is within HEAVENLY LAWS; but you cannot make love to a man because that is against the LAWS OF HEAVEN. Yet to make love to a woman (within Heavenly Laws) - you also need to obey the Heavenly Law of being married to her: you cannot just make love to a woman you are not married to: that is fornication or adultery. Are there Concubines in Heaven: NO there are not. Concubines (which equates to unmarried sex) is against the LAWS OF GOD. So Jacob complied with the LAWS OF GOD in saying "and Concubines he shall have none." It could be that his statement, already talked about, "For there shall not any man AMONG YOU" (Or AMONG my people) "have save it be ONE Wife," be Jacob's viewpoint and wish for his people, and [verse 26] collaborates this with "Wherefore I The Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old;"  and his writing "and Concubines he shall have none," answered that of "not doing like unto them of old" in having Concubines (as they of old had). "And Concubines he shall have none" could have been his compliance with THE LAWS OF HEAVEN AGAINST FORNICATION AND ADULTERY. 
*****
[Jacob 2:23-28] states "David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith The Lord." This CONTRADICTS [Doctrine & Covenants 132:38-39] which states:
"David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin SAVE IN THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY RECEIVED NOT OF ME. David's wives and concubines were given to him of Me" (meaning The Lord)  "by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the Prophets who had the keys of this power;  and in none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; AND HE SHALL NOT INHERIT THEM" (David will not inherit the multiple wives that were sealed to him for all eternity by Nathan the Prophet) ... "FOR I GAVE THEM TO ANOTHER" (ANOTHER RIGHTEOUS MAN INHERITED DAVID'S MULTIPLE WIVES THROUGH ETERNITY), "saith The Lord."
So which are we to believe? ... Gordon B. Hinckley and Jacob's BOOK OF MORMON account, [Jacob 2:23-28], claming that multiple Polygamous Wives are "abominable" to The Lord AND "not doctrinal"; or Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Abraham in The Bible, others in The Bible, 50,000 Saints practising Polygamy, and especially [Doctrine & Covenants 132:34-39]? 
I proclaim that The Testimony of Witnesses should win. There's a lot more witnesses 'FOR' than 'AGAINST.' Furthermore, The Book of Mormon claim might have stronger validity IF IT DIDN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF!!! If [Jacob 2:23-28] was the only evidence of Polygamy in The Book of Mormon, then it might carry more weight and authenticity! But The Book of Mormon also bears witness 'FOR' Polygamy. Don't forget that.
Gordon B. Hinckley in saying that "I do not think it (POLYGAMY) is doctrinal," was obviously either a narrow-minded man, or a very ignorant and uninformed Prophet. Did he not read [Doctrine & Covenants 132] for example? WAS HE NOT AWARE THAT JOSEPH SMITH HIMSELF HAD MULTIPLE WIVES?! That Brigham Young, another Prophet, had over 50 wives?! I am not even a Prophet and I can see THE CONTRADICTION IN THE BOOK OF MORMON CONCERNING POLYGAMY! To me, (what about you?), two valid sources that DISAGREE WITH EACH OTHER should CANCEL each other. Or should they?  Not when 1 source is greater than the other. Isaiah was a greater Prophet than Jacob! Other than The Book of Jacob being included in The Book of Mormon, no where else in scripture does another prophet say, 'Great were the writings of Jacob! You need to read Jacob!' But of Isaiah, not only did The Lord Himself say, "Great are the words of Isaiah," [3rd Nephi 23:1]; not only does the topical guide list over 50 quotes of Isaiah in most of the books found in The Book of Mormon; not only are whole chapters of Isaiah reposted in 1st Nephi and 2nd Nephi, including the great prophetic chapter 2nd Nephi Chapter 29 about The Book of Mormon coming forth in the Latter-Days; but let me reiterate again: THE LORD ALSO INCLUDED THAT CONTRADICTORY SCRIPTURE [ISAIAH 4:1] as [2nd Nephi 14:1] - "And in that day 7 WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF 1 MAN, saying, LET US BE CALLED BY THY NAME ..." 
Isaiah was a greater prophet than either Jacob or Gordon B. Hinckley! I assert you should believe Isaiah over Jacob! I assert you should believe Isaiah over Gordon B. Hinckley! And it is sad that you should even have to choose one prophet over another. They should be in agreement with one another! But they are not! And thus you have to choose ...
Didn't Gordon B. Hinckley read these things? How can a Prophet (and again I don't dispute Gordon B. Hinckley was a Prophet) choose to accept the witness of Jacob, [Jacob 2:23-28], AS JUST ONE WITNESS, mind you! JUST 1 SCRIPTURE!, and reject dozens of other scriptures FOR POLYGAMY; as well as dispute Joseph Smith, the Lord's chosen Restitutory Prophet (meaning the Prophet chosen to bring back things LOST AND STOLEN by the Catholic Church and other Gentiles, and Polygamy is one of the main doctrines that the evil Roman Catholic Church took away); and he, Joseph Smith, not only wrote in [3rd Nephi 23:1-3] that the words of Isaiah (i.e. - POLYGAMY INCLUDED AS PART OF WHAT ISAIAH TAUGHT) were approved by Jesus Christ Himself (and this includes Isaiah's CONTRADICTORY VERSE, [Isaiah 4:1], ON POLYGAMY reposted as [2nd Nephi 14:1] which shows that The Lord approves it!!!) and also caused it to be published, "And all things that he (Isaiah) spake HAVE  BEEN" (again, INCLUDING POLYGAMY) "AND SHALL BE" (again, INCLUDING POLYGAMY!!!) "even according to the words which he (Isaiah) spake.", [3rd Nephi 23:1-3].  Furthermore, Jesus words (prophecy), "SHALL BE,"  in The Book of Mormon [3rd Nephi 23:3], came true when hundreds of years later Joseph Smith restored Polygamy (under the Revelation and Direction of The Lord) in Doctrine & Covenants 132. JS claimed D&C 132 was a REVELATION FROM THE LORD. Perhaps the most important Revelation and Section of ALL! THE LORD RESTORED POLYGAMY!!! He brought it back to the earth (after the evil Romans had condemned it because they follow Satan and Satan does not want you to believe in Polygamy because it is such an important part of The Plan of Salvation!) BACK BECAUSE "ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THIS LAW" (THE LAW OF NOT ONLY ETERNAL MARRIAGE BUT THE LAW OF ETERNAL POLYGAMY!!!) "REVEALED UNTO THEM MUST OBEY THE SAME!!!! ... FOR NO ONE CAN REJECT THIS COVENANT" (OF ETERNAL SEALING OF MARRIAGE, INCLUDING MULTIPLE MARRIAGES OF 1 MAN, OR 1 GOD TO BE, To MULTIPLE WIVES) "AND BE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO MY GLORY!", [Doctrine & Covenants 132:3-7]. Brigham Young, the 2nd Prophet of The Church, taught that POLYGYNY (a man having more than 1 wife) was absolutely mandatory in order for men and women to inherit Eternal Life! (or in other words as the Latter-Day Prophet Brigham Young explained it: "... If you wish to obtain the blessings which Abraham obtained, YOU WILL BE POLYGAMISTS at least in your faith, OR you will come short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true as that God lives. The man that" (or woman that) "resists polygamy in his" (or her) " heart, will come short of dwelling in the presence of the Father and the Son, in Celestial Glory. THE ONLY MEN WHO BECOME GODS, EVEN THE SONS OF GOD, ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTO POLYGAMY.")
( http://jod.mrm.org/11/266 ) 
It's obvious here that Gordon B. Hinckley not only CONTRADICTED the teaching of Brigham Young but "RESISTED POLYGAMY IN HIS (Gordon B. Hinckley's) HEART!" And thus according to the teaching of Brigham Young, Gordon B. Hinckley, although he, too, was a prophet, "will come short of dwelling in the presence of the Father and the Son, in Celestial Glory. THE ONLY MEN" (AND THAT INCLUDES GORDON B. HINCKLEY WHO  DISMISSED POLYGAMY AS "NOT DOCTRINAL!!!!!!! - his very own words on Larry King if you watched the video - watch the link again if you have not watched it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HogSGPZnrNU ) "WHO BECOME GODS, EVEN THE SONS OF GOD, ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTO POLYGAMY."
Who are we to believe? If you believe Gordon B Hinckley knew more than the multiple scriptures in The Bible, that Gordon B. Hinckley knew more than Jesus causing [Isaiah 4:1] to be requoted in [2nd Nephi 14:1] in The Book of Mormon; that Gordon B. Hinckley knew more than Joseph Smith's most elegant Revelation on Polygamy found in Doctrine & Covenants 132; that Gordon B. Hinckley knew more than Joseph Smith himself having multiple wives in this life, and Brigham Young, too, and supposedly about 50,000 early Latter-day Saints also being in multiple-wives marriages --- if you believe Gordon B. Hinckley knew more than all these 50,000 witnesses, then don't think Gordon B. Hinckley taught FALSE DOCTRINE ABOUT POLYGAMY. If you are a Gordon B. Hinckley diehard fan who believes a prophet you lived with cannot be deceived ... then believe Gordon B. Hinckley! As for me, I KNOW he didn't know what he was talking about! He was a Prophet of The Lord, but on this, I, Erving Lambert, KNOW MORE THAN HE DID!!! Shame on him ...
***********************
3rd Prophet To  Bear Witness Of -
In the October 1976 Conference, President/Prophet Spencer W. Kimball whitewashed a statement about early General Authorities teaching the FALSE DOCTRINE (LIE) called The Adam-God Theory. 
It starts at the 3:46 minute:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1976/10/our-own-liahona?lang=eng
You should watch that link, but here is what President Kimball said:
"Another matter. We hope that you who teach in the various organizations, whether on the campuses or in our chapels, will always teach the orthodox truth. We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are NOT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES" (NOTE: PLEASE ALSO TAKE THIS TO MIND CONCERNING GORDON B. HINCKLEY AND THE MANY SCRIPTURES ON POLYGAMY WHICH GORDON B. HINCKLEY DENIED!!! Also note that a Prophet of God emphasizes that teachings should collaborate with SCRIPTURES) "and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of FALSE DOCTRINE."
It was great that a Prophet, Spencer W. Kimball, said that there had been FALSE DOCTRINE TAUGHT IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS!!! (A lot of faithful Members don't want to realize that sometimes there is FALSE DOCTRINES taught in The Church. Sometimes Prophets and Apostles and "General Authorities" as Spencer W. Kimball whitewashed and covered it up said, do not teach "according to the scriptures." I so often hear bishops and stake presidents asserting that The Church is perfect. But just proclaiming The Church is perfect is False Doctrine in itself. It is an ignorant teaching; they are not aware as I and hopefully you are now by reading and studying about these LIES some of the Prophets have taught. The Church is NOT perfect: I deem The Church 98% Positive Truth, truths which we all should want to take upon ourselves; and 2% Negative Truths, truths that we should not want to assimilate or copy because they are wrong, they are evil!) It was also great that he mentioned this sin of teaching FALSE DOCTRINES was committed by "General Authorities." But it was a horrible white-washing and cover up. 1- The Doctrine (NOT THEORY!) of Adam-God was originated not by "General Authorities" but by the 2nd Prophet of The Church. His name: Brigham Young. When Brigham Young started teaching "HIS" Adam-God Doctrine, which he taught in General Conferences!!! so calling it a "theory" is a whitewash and cover-up in itself: it was a doctrine! a doctrine thought true and correct enough for Brigham Young to teach it in General Conferences so that every member of The Church could know about it or them; a doctrine that Brigham Young believed should be added to Church doctrines; that members of The Church should teach and preach and expound and exhort. Some of the apostles KNEW that it, they, the two doctrines, were FALSE DOCTRINES, but didn't know how to react to Brigham Young the Prophet teaching it, them?! So they took the cowardly way out and didn't object. They said nothing contradictory to it or them (there were two False Doctrines that Brigham Young taught). They didn't accept it or them but neither did they fight it or them, which is a form of acceptance when a man knows something is wrong but doesn't say anything, as I am doing here, that it is wrong. They didn't follow the admonition of Jesus, [John 18:23], "IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL." Other apostles at the time accepted the FALSE DOCTRINES wholeheartedly ... After all HE, (BRIGHAM YOUNG), WAS THE Prophet --- And you gotta believe the Prophet, right? Whatever a Prophet says is always correct, right?! 
#########################################################################################
WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!!! WRONG!!!! And this is one reason I am writing all of this CRAP that has been perpetuated by a few Apostles and Prophets over the years, and by MANY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH WHICH BELIEVE A PROPHET CAN SAY NO WRONG, CAN DO NO WRONG, AND CANNOT LEAD YOU ASTRAY! 
JESUS SAID: "IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL", [John 18:23].
Since Jesus referred to Himself concerning that, how much more so should it apply to Prophets who speak evil! Because I, Erving Lambert, who is not an apostate but am a faithful Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, might be the only Member of The Church in the whole world who is knowledgable enough and bold enough to speak up against some of this CRAP taught by a few Apostles and Prophets, condemn me not.  I "BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL" that The Prophets, Russell M. Nelson, Gordon B. Hinckley, Wilford Woodruff, and especially Brigham Young, have erroneously taught. It's a shame that some Apostle didn't have the knowledge or the guts enough to speak up against each of these Erroring Prophets. It takes an unknown Member of The Church to do so. 
##########################################################################################

President Kimball also failed to mention that it was a PROPHET who taught that FALSE DOCTRINE OF Adam being God the Father, or in other words Adam being the father of Jesus, etc. He white-washed it and said "General Authorities." The Church loves and is very dedicated to COVERING UP the over 500 BAD THINGS that have gone on in The Church over the years! This small mention of a cover-up, what would normally be a cover-up, was only made because, at the time, in the later 1970s, some members of The Church were discussing The Adam-God Theory. It was circulating, or in the language of today, 'Now streaming.' I was in my 20s at the time, and I remember people talking about The Adam-God Theory.
Furthermore, Spencer W. Kimball didn't even mention the worser doctrine formulated and taught by Brigham Young. Yes, Brigham Young taught a 2nd FALSE DOCTRINE, A 2ND LIE --- WHICH WAS FAR WORSE THAN THE ADAM-GOD LIE! It was called BLOOD ATONEMENT!!! 
Charles Manson spent 40 years in prison not because he murdered directly, but because he advocated his followers to murder. There was a man named Ervil LeBaron. Here is the Wiki heading concerning the article which you can look up:

Although Ervil LeBaron was  not a member of The Church, he was the grandson or something like that, of early members of The Church who had been taught Brigham Young's FALSE DOCTRINE OF BLOOD ATONEMENT.  What is Blood Atonement? Brigham Young taught that The Atonement of Jesus Christ does not cover all sins. (When you are COVERED BY THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST, it means that you can repent of your sins and if your repentance is strong enough and pleasing enough to The Lord, hopefully you will be forgiven and thus become a God yourself inheriting that Eternal Life that Jesus and God The Father live and promise to any child of theirs who live worthy of it.) Peter wrote however that: "No murderer hath Eternal Life abiding in him," [1st John 3:15]. Brigham Young therefore taught that certain sins, such as murder, are NOT COVERED under the Atonement of Jesus Christ, or in other words, even with the Atonement of Jesus Christ, no matter how hard you try to repent for (the murder, for example), you're not going to ever qualify for Eternal Life. You're just not covered anymore! But Brigham Young offered such sinners a way back! So that they would be covered and yet have the hope of Eternal Life. He offered them a means to repent of their murders or whatever. I'm not sure if I have this totally the way Brigham Young taught this, but it was a FALSE DOCTRINE AND LIE anyway it is put. From what I have read in the Journal of Discourses (an early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints massive records collection kept for 30 years or so about Conference Talks and other sermons), Brigham Young claimed that a murderer, or other sinner not covered, must shed his own blood, slit his own throat, so that he bleeds like the Saviour bled, and atones for his own sin because the Saviour's blood no longer covers his sin. Although Brigham Young himself probably never slit the throat of anyone in trying to help them to offer their own sacrificial blood as a Blood Atonement; you can find in Brigham Young's TEACHINGS (writings) in the Journal of Discourses, that he said he would certainly slit their throat to help them if he had to! You have to believe that when a Prophet teaches something, there will be at least a few very devoted followers who will carry out what the Prophet advocated for them to do! It might be difficult to find actual records of actual Latter-Day Saints who actually carried out BLOOD ATONEMENT and killed someone by slitting their throat, (I have read an account but I don't find it credible), but I have no doubt that such an act happened. Nonetheless, regardless if any member of The Church actually carried out Brigham Young's Blood Atonement, it is in United States public court records that Ervil LeBaron murdered as many as 40 people --- in the name of BLOOD ATONEMENT! Where did he get that doctrine? Brigham Young is the person who instigated BLOOD ATONEMENT! No one else, as far as I know, has ever taught it. Ervil LeBaron would not have  known about BLOOD ATONEMENT IF Brigham Young's pride hadn't ADDED TO THE SCRIPTURES, if Brigham Young had only taught "THE ORTHODOX DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH," (as Spencer W. Kimball called it).
Charles Manson was judged guilty of murder for far fewer people than Ervil Lebaron killed. I believe, by the same token as Charles Manson was judged and condemned for Murder, that Brigham Young was also a MURDERER!!!! He probably didn't murder himself, but Ervil LeBaron proves that Brigham Young's influence caused and resulted in MURDERS! Brigham Young, our 2nd Prophet, if he were alive and taught BLOOD ATONEMENT today, would most assuredly be in prison --- the same as Charles Manson was!
Furthermore, IF any of us normal members teach even 1 FALSE DOCTRINE - we would be excommunicated from The Church so fast! Brigham Young not only taught 2 FALSE DOCTRINES - but was indirectly responsible for 40 murders by Ervil Lebaron, and probably several hundred murders done by Members of The Church in the Mountain Meadows Massacre! In my opinion, Brigham Young should have been excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and should have been executed (hung or shot) by the law of the land. (Good luck with that, he was the Governer and law of the land at the time.) But Prophets, like Kings, like Presidents, like Donald Trump, are usually ABOVE THE LAW! I can see why The Church (meaning the brethren or other Apostles) did not excommunicate Brigham. The Church emphasizes: "We have a living prophet!" Missionaries teach non-members, "We have a living prophet! Members and Priesthood Quorums teach, "Follow the Prophet! Follow the Prophet!" It would have destroyed missionary work! Investigators even today would be saying, "Why should I believe you have a living prophet? You excommunicated one of your prophets!" It is one thing for Russell M. Nelson, however, or Gordon B. Hinckley, however, or Wilford Woodruff to teach SMALL FALSE DOCTRINES; but it is quite another for Brigham Young to teach BLOOD ATONEMENT AND MURDER ...
4th Prophet To  Bear Witness Of -
The fourth and final Prophet that I am aware of who taught FALSE DOCTRINE, A LIE, to The Church, was Wilford Woodruff. He simply made this statement which was not true because Brigham Young, a previous LEADER OF THE CHURCH, taught TWO FALSE DOCTRINES, ADAM-GOD AND BLOOD ATONEMENT, and just one FALSE DOCTRINE by a Prophet before Wilford Woodruff made his statement would have invalidate his premise. Furthermore, Wilford Woodruff knew Brigham Young personally. Wilford Woodruff KNEW about the two FALSE DOCTRINES taught by BRIGHAM YOUNG. So the LIE of Wilford Woodruff becomes even more of a LIE, because he had experienced someone doing it - yet he still taught:
"The Lord will never permit me, OR ANY OTHER MAN WHO STANDS AT THE HEAD OF THIS CHURCH, TO LEAD YOU ASTRAY. It is not in the programme. IT IS NOT IN THE MIND OF GOD. If I were to attempt that, THE LORD WOULD REMOVE ME OUT OF MY PLACE, AND SO HE WILL ANY OTHER MAN WHO ATTEMPTS TO LEAD THE CHILDREN OF MEN ASTRAY from the oracles of God and from their duty," [General Conference Oct. 6th, 1890]
Besides this being a LIE, the sadder thing is that The Lord ALLOWED Brigham Young to lead The Lord's people astray. Why The Lord simply did not let Brigham Young die when Brigham Young was the Prophet/Leader of The Church committing these LIES, I do not have the answer? I know beyond a doubt that God lives; but I also know He allowed these things and a lot of other things to currupt His Church. Contrary to the LIE preached by Wilford Woodruff --- IT IS IN THE PROGRAMME. IT IS IN THE PROGRAMME FOR THE LORD TO ALLOW  AN OCCASIONAL FALSE DOCTRINE TO BE TAUGHT BY AN OCCASIONAL PROPHET. 
Does it mean the Church is not true? Certainly NOT! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is, in my opinion, 98% POSITIVE TRUTH, and 2% NEGATIVE TRUTH. There are about 500 NEGATIVE TRUTHS (and I probably have greater awareness of these any man on earth) that happened in The Church. Mark Hoffman is responsible for about 400 of these Negative Truths with forged documents by him which deceived Spencer W. Kimball, Marion G. Romney, N. Eldon Tanner, Gordon B. Hinckley, and basically the whole Church! IT WAS IN THE PROGRAMME FOR THESE MEN TO BE DECEIVED! At the time, the Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, and future Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, (pictured below) were both deceived. Neither of them had a clue that Mark Hoffman was a fraud! Over and over, 400 times, Mark Hoffman laughed inside as  he sold FALSE DOCUMENTS TO THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH! Mark Hoffman grew up in The Church. But when he was about 14 years old he decided The Church was not true. He continued going however and even served a Mission. After his Mission he learned that he had the ability to copy anyone's handwriting. He came up with a plan to not only make himself rich (those 400 documents that The Church bought for him made him a millionaire), but also to fool Church Leaders. He took great joy in proving that so-called Holy Ghost would not reveal Mark's deceit to these men, and that these men, THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH, were a bunch of old UNINSPIRED MEN WHO PRETENDED TO BE INSPIRED AND DIRECTED BY THE LORD. 400 TIMES MARK HOFFMAN DECEIVED SPENCER W. KIMBALL, the Prophet at the time, GORDON B. HINCKLEY, and other Apostles. You have to admit that 400 TIMES is a lot of Prophets and Apostles NOT HAVING THE HOLY GHOST INSPIRING THEM! The Church, including Spencer W. Kimball and Gordon B. Hinckley, were so overjoyed to get these rare and "authenticate" Joseph Smith papers, etc. etc., "FOUND"  by active Church member and returned missionary, Mark Hoffman ... that they never questioned him, and never questioned the papers.
Maybe, just maybe, none of these inspired men ever thought to ask God: Are these documents real? The Prophet, Spencer W. Kimball, never had a clue! Nor the First Presidency (the Prophet with his two counsellors, Marion G. Romney and N. Eldon Tanner), never had a clue! Nor the future prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley. Never had a clue! ((( Hinckley, by the way, I believe was the most uninspired of any of the 4 prophets listed in this book. I believe this not for his dozens, or was it hundreds of Mark Hoffman forgeries purchased by The Chruch (The Church is still finding Mark Hoffman forgeries as The Church purportedly purchased over 400 forgeries from Mark Hoffman and many of these forgeries were purchased because this so-called prophet-to-be, Gordon B. Hinckley, was not a very good prophet at the time and was DECEIVED repeatedly by Mark Hoffman, but primarily I believe Gordon B. Hinkley was not much of a prophet either then or later because he indirectly called Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and 50,000 Latter-Day Saints "adulterers" by stating and believing that Polygamy was a false doctrine without scriptural validity and authenticity. 
Watch again Larry King's interview of Gordon B. Hinckley:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HogSGPZnrNU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAsNMWwRXvs
{Note in the 2nd video (above) if you watch it, that the HYPOCRITE FOR THE CHURCH quotes "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and yet he indirectly accuses Joseph Smith and Brigham Young of "adultery" when he states, "I condemn it as a practice because I think it is NOT DOCTRINAL!"
What a blind man this Gordon B. Hinckley was. Because of the blindness of this man who would later become the so-called Prophet of The Church simply because he outlived everyone (which in itself is contrary to the ways The Lord has called prophets throughout history), he allowed not only The Church to look bad, the so-called "inspired" leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to look bad, but ultimately for The Lord himself to look bad = "Whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same." [Doctrine & Covenants 1:38] (When a Living Prophet looks bad, expecially from being deceived as Mark Hoffman deceived Spencer W. Kimball AND Gordon B. Hinckley, it makes The Lord look bad too. But even worse, when a Living Prophet either teaches an outright lie and false doctrine, as Brigham Young did with the Adam-God Theory and with Blood Atonement; OR, when a Living Prophet contradicts the scriptures and other prophets as Gordon B. Hinckley did in teaching that Polygamy is "NOT DOCTRINAL" --- it makes not only that Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley and Russell M. Nelson, look bad, but The Church look bad, and ultimately The Lord Himself look bad for permitting such contradictions in HIS Church.
Besides the two murders Mark Hoffman committed to cover up his life of forgeries and deceits, that was the tragedy as well as the fact and life's work of Mark Hoffman: he made everyone look bad! He turned the holy and the promise of perfection into something less valuable, less believable, less credible. 
Here again, contrary to what Wilford Woodruff said that : IT WAS IN THE PROGRAMME! IT HAPPENED! IT'S CHURCH HISTORY THAT THE CHURCH DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT! But Jesus said, "BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL!" Don't you have a right to know that The Church and It's Prophets --- ARE NOT PERFECT ... Don't you have a right to know that even Apostles and Prophets are sometimes DECEIVED, and occasionally PROPHETS AND APOSTLES DECEIVE US ...

Which is the same principle that YOU should be concerned about! You shouldn't just believe what an Apostle or a Prophet says, simply because of their CALLING!!! You should only believe an Apostle or a Prophet if what they teach is in agreement and in harmony with the 4 Standard Works! It's called The Testimony of Witnesses. Especially concerning the writings and teachings of Joseph Smith. We are the RESTORED CHURCH, which means that things taught in The Bible, things taught in The Book of Mormon, must be present in the teachings of any Apostle or Prophet. The more Spiritual Leaders that testify about a doctrine, the more chance that that doctrine is a true doctrine!!! You don't take the word of Russell M. Nelson saying you cannot be PERFECTED IN THIS LIFE, THAT YOU WILL BE PERFECTED IN THE NEXT LIFE --- WHEN THE SCRIPTURES DO NOT BACK HIS TAKE ON THAT DOCTRINE!!! There is a teaching in The Church that a Living Prophet is superior to the Scriptures. Well. Keep believing that, and you'll occasionally be deceived by Adam-God Theories occasionally coming out of the mouths of Living Apostles and Prophets ... 
IT HAPPENS!
THAT is what you need to get through your programmed, brain-washed mind that Apostles and Prophets are always right!
Point is: You need to know your scriptures! You need to be able to recognize true doctrine from false doctrine! When Brigham Young came out with his two false doctrines, those who believed a prophet is always correct followed those false doctrines. Heck, he's the Prophet he ought to know what he's talking about, right? Those who didn't know the scriptures and the correct doctrines of Jesus Christ, followed those false doctrines of Brigham Young and didn't even question them. This included some of the Apostles serving alongside Brigham Young. But a few General Authorities as well as Members of The Church were not deceived! They knew better! I would not have been deceived. But if you are the type who doesn't question stuff, the type who thinks you should always Follow the Prophet To  Bear Witness Of - you would have been deceived. If you are not wise enough to know, as I know, that Russell M. Nelson teaching that there is no perfected men in this life and we don't need to concern ourselves with becoming perfected here because we still have The Millennium, (which is a subtle doctrine not easy to realize it's FALSE because it is SO PLEASANT TO THE EARS (how many of us want to "work" constantly to perfect our selves!!!??? NO, most of us want to watch movies that curse God, not fast more than 1 day a month, and certainly not want to pray every minute or every few minutes of our waking lives: we'd rather talk or watch or listen; we'd rather have a little sin in our lives to keep things more interesting). We don't want to hear that we NEED to perfect ourselves in THIS LIFE: that "THIS LIFE is the day for men to perform their labors," [Alma 34:32-33]. As active Church Members we read that but we don't want to believe it; we don't want to let it sink in: if we don't perfect ourselves here, with the help of The Lord, we're probably not going to inherit the top kingdom of Eternal Life in which MANY ARE CALLED  "BUT FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT --- BECAUSE YE RECEIVE ME NOT IN THE WORLD. BUT IF YE RECEIVE ME IN THE WORLD, ... THEN" (AND ONLY THEN) "SHALL YE RECEIVE YOUR EXALTATION." [Doctrine & Covenants 132:22-23]
We like hearing spiritual people like Russell M. Nelson and Jeffrey R. Holland say, 'Don't worry about receiving all of it in this world. Take it easy, don't worry, dont sweat it, don't overwork yourself. Enjoy life. You can't become perfected here anyway so why try ... Enjoy life.'
Do all apostles and prophets work as hard to earn Eternal Life as others do? No! Who among the Prophets is going to be more spiritual, the prophet who only fasts once a month, or the Prophet who fasts 3 times a week!? Have any of our modern prophets or apostles fasted and prayed 40 days like Moses and Elijah and Jesus? No! Unlike John The Baptist, whom Jesus said there is no greater prophet among men, who lived homeless and ate locusts and honey, our prophets live in fancy homes and eat fine dinners in restaurants.     The Book of Mormon bears witness in [Moroni 8:26] that the grand secret of it all is PRAYER! "PERFECT LOVE, WHICH LOVE ENDURETH BY DILIGENCE UNTO PRAYER." [Doctrine & Covenants 6:36] adds: "LOOK UNTO ME       IN EVERY THOUGHT." IF you do these two things, you cannot help but become PERFECTED in a few years!!! But does any modern Apostle or Prophet teach these two things? Maybe they do maybe they don't, I don't know everything they've said. But I do know that it's wrong to say that you cannot become perfected in this life. Shame on Russell M. Nelson for teaching this! And, any other Prophet or Apostle who has taught it!
Furthermore, Is a prophet or apostles always supposed to KNOW the truth? Joseph Smith said that it is not always easy to tell the wicked from the righteous. This is also true of doctrines. Apostles and Prophets have their own opinions and prejudices, likes and dislikes, etc, etc. Just like you do. Just like we all do. It is obvious that Gordon B. Hinckley, for example, hated POLYGAMY. His hatred and prejudice however does not invalidate the Doctrine of Polygamy being a Godly Doctrine. Same with Oliver Cowdery. I understand he was in deep difference of opinion about Joseph Smith instituting Polygamy. If I am not mistaken, Oliver Cowdery as well as a few more Apostles left The Church because they did not accept Polygamy. You HAVE to go with The Testimony of Witnesses, however, over what any 1 or any few Apostles and Prophets might say about something. Hopefully you can see in this paper that at least 4 modern-day prophets have taught FALSE DOCTRINES AND LIES. Does it mean The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is not true? NO! It certainly does not invalidate The Church because an occasional Prophet is misinformed, or even teaches a LIE. If we liken The Church to a beautiful baby, a baby which sometimes soils it's diaper and dirties its bath water: you don't throw out the beautiful baby (The Church) with it's dirty bath water and soiled diaper! Even though there are murders in Church History, and even sexual assault alleged to a former Provo Missionary Training Center President, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true: the 98% POSITIVE TRUTH taught by The Church far outweighs the 2% NEGATIVE TRUTH of Brigham Young, Gordon B. Hinkley, Wilford Woodruff, Russell M. Nelson and the 500 BAD THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CHuRCh ...
Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and truth shall make you free," [John 8:32]. But are we supposed to only speak of GOOD TRUTH, POSITIVE TRUTH? Jesus also said, "IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL," [John 18:23]. Although Leaders of The Church do not want to follow that scripture by Jesus and bear witness of the bad and evil things that have happened in The Church, I, Erving Lambert, take it quite literally to BEAR MY TESTIMONY OF BOTH THE 98% GOOD & POSITIVE TRUTH IN THE CHURCH (read my website, ScriptureCrossReferences.com if you want more deep doctrine like this) BUT ALSO OF THE 2% BAD AND NEGATIVE TRUTH THAT ARE JUST AS TRUE --- BECAUSE THEY HAPPENED! THEY CO-EXISTED! I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only Church on the face of the earth in which all of the doctrines of God that He wants us to have are found within; I also know that the The Church foundation, after the foundation of The Saviour and His Atonement & Resurrection, is called the foundation of Apostles and Prophets. But I vary from that in stating that THE SCRIPTURES ARE EQUAL TO THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS when those Apostles and Prophets teach what is in The Scriptures; but when Apostles and Prophets do not teach what is in The Scriptures - THEN THE SCRIPTURES ARE SUPERIOR TO APOSTLES AND PROPHETS. 
As far as what President/Prophet Russell  M. Nelson (as well as Jeffery R. Holland in his talk on Perfection) have said that you cannot be perfected in this life, if you want to believe them more than you want to believe Joseph Smith, Paul, Alma, The Standard Works, then do so. If you like the excuse of not fasting dozens of times more every year than you currently do; if you like the excuse of not saying hundreds of prayers every day; if you like the excuse of walking by a beggar on the street and not living Jesus' commandment to: "Give to every man that asketh of thee," [Luke 6:30]; and you like the excuse of living less than a PERFECT LIFE  because a Prophet of The Lord said that it is okay to do so ... then do so. As for me and my house [Joshua 24:15] I believe Joseph Smith and Paul and Alma and Doctrine & Covenants 132 all knew and know more than Russell M. Nelson knows ... My name is Erving Lambert (perhaps the Church will excommunicate me for speaking this truth in this paper, or even try to call what I've said here as untruth, but so be it: The Saviour's statement, "IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL," [John 18:23] --- calls to me. It's obvious that no one but I will "BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL" which a few Prophets have propagated; if I don't answer this "call," it won't get answered. I am tired of hearing bishops and stake presidents and members during Testimony Meetings and Sunday School Classes and Priesthood Meetings assert that: "The Church is Perfect," and that you must always: "Follow The Prophet." During one meeting in which they were chanting like a cult, "Follow the Prophet! Follow the Prophet! Follow the Prophet!", not only was that the first and only time I have felt like I was IN a cult, but I raised my hand and said, "What if the Prophet teaches FALSE DOCTRINE?" to only have this valid question shot down: "We are NOT going to get into that!" I can certainly agree there would be no reason to get into "it" - IF - IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED ...
Thank you.

AFTERTHOUGHT: In Gordon B. Hinckley's full interview with Larry King, the half-prophet, Brother Hinckley, states the The President of The United States holds a position of tremendous TRUST. You are supposed to TRUST in this man called President. I attest that so does The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Most members of The Church TRUST that he is a Living Prophet and everything that comes out of his mouth, especially as he preaches it world-wide to the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is TRUTH and nothing but the truth. I assert that  this is false doctrine to believe that our prophets never teach lies and false doctrines. I believe anyone who has read this book will have his or her eyes opened by now: The Prophets are true, but you do not believe everything that comes out of their mouths simply because of their calling and office of Prophet that they hold. You need to know that the scriptures back their words. And perhaps the only way you can know if the scriptures back their words is by knowing the scriptures so well that when a prophet teaches that God the Father became Adam, that it is neither logical (He would have needed to be Adam on "worlds without number,") nor scriptural, 
"And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. And the first man of all men have I called ADAM, WHICH IS MANY. But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them." [Moses 1:33-35],
you need to be able to TRUST in the current Prophet of The Church. To me, once a prophet teaches something FALSE, he's no longer credible. If cannot TRUST someone 100% of the time, how much of the time can you trust him? Furthermore, when a Prophet teaches an UNTRUTH, since I believe no Prophet should ever, ever, ever misguide people, I believe that that Prophet should be excommunicated.
If you or I taught what Brigham Young taught, we would be excommunicated. But The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints covers up its lying prophets and the few false doctrines taught by them. Which makes not only The Church less credible but less TRUSTWORTHY. 
But the worst thing of all is because Jesus Christ himself has allowed this CHAOS to not only happen, but to continue to happen, it makes Jesus Christ Himself at fault.
"God is not a man that he should LIE; nor The Son of Man" (Jesus Christ) that He hath need to repent," [Numbers 23:19] but sadly that scripture as well as others becomes false,
BECAUSE THE SAVIOUR DOES NEED TO REPENT OF THESE THINGS. And He isn't the PERFECT being He makes Himself out to be ... 
WHOM SHALL WE BELIEVE? 
The answer is no one, not even God, 100% ...
Probably the best any of us with our eyes opened that corruption is everywhere can hope for, is that MOST OF IT IS TRUE. And for the 2% or whatever that is not true, you're going to have to make your own decision: DO I COVER IT UP AS THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH DO, or am I ever cognizant that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is and always will be, 98% TRUE and 2% FALSE, and let the scales of justice for the "good" outweigh the "bad" ...
My goal in writing this book was not to cause apostasies but that I simply believe members should be aware of the bad as well as the good. To be able to TRUST is not knowing just the good but being aware of the bad. Does it matter that God is not totally The God I believed Him ot be? I am devestated but faithful still. He has not given up on my sins nor abandoned me. Why should I give up on Him ... WHOM SHALL WE BELIEVE? Believe in Jesus Christ ... but test His words, and test the words of His Prophets and Apostles. If you liked some of what I wrote hear, and you want to know and test the words of The Saviour as spoken through His recorders, His Prophets and Apostles, then I invite you to study:
