APOSTLES & PROPHETS ON CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS
False teachings abound in our modern world. How can we know the truth? We must search the teachings of the prophets - those who have been ordained as prophets, seers, and revelators and apostles of Jesus Christ. If you are wondering what opinion one ought to take on a particular controversial issue, do not follow the opinions of the world - look to the prophets for guidance! Your eternal welfare will depend on it:
14 And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed; and the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to the words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from among the people;
15 For they have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant;
16 They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall.
(Doctrine & Covenants 1:14-16).
This section is intended to give the faithful Latter-day Saint a ready corpus of prophetic teachings to draw from regarding a wide array of controversial issues, to build faith, to defend the truth, and to educate the ignorant. (While some diversity of opinion does exist within the various topics, one thing the compiler has noted is that this phenomenon is actually extremely minor, and the honest student will be struck by the astonishing uniformity evident from the prophetic voices on the various important topics.)
