Modern day apostacy - how would we know?

[Ma'ake]

I once heard a fundy assert the modern day LDS church is in apostacy, and provided the dearth of prophecy & revelation since John Taylor as the evidence. ("Thus sayeth the Lord...")

So, how *would* one know if this was the case or not? Surely Catholics / priests / monks have felt the spirit over the centuries relative to Papal pronouncements.

(OK, I'll cop to being a weirdo in thinking about this stuff. LOL)

If we are in apostasy, and the FLDS are not, then I choose apostasy.

People choose the life they want to live. I think apostasy is just a made-up word used by people in authority to encourage people to fall in line.

So the Catholic Church is true enough?

Find me a Mormon who doesn't believe that Mother Teresa is going receive her Celestial reward.

Ah, Mike. How poorly you understand me.


Like Indy apparently believes, I believe her actions in this life (at least what I know of them) are a credit to her, and that with a little proxy work, she'll be far more worthy of celestial glory than I.

Likewise, I believe the vast majority of individuals who have lived & passed on on this earth are, for the most part good people with good intentions and, with a little proxy work, will inherit celestial glory as well.

You are right. There can only be 3 members of the CG mullah Godhead. Tex, IC, and JL.

Lingo, apparently, has taken the last train to the coast, so is no longer here.
