Church Leaders Quotes

• The church has been preoccupied with the question, 'What happens to your soul after you die?' AS IF THE REASON FOR JESUS COMING CAN BE SUMMED UP IN, 'JESUS IS TRYING TO HELP GET MORE SOULS INTO HEAVEN, AS OPPOSED TO HELL, AFTER THEY DIE.' I JUST THINK A FAIR READING OF THE GOSPELS BLOWS THAT OUT OF THE WATER. I don't think that the entire message and life of Jesus can be boiled down to that bottom line

• Tengo más miedo de que este pueblo tenga tanta confianza en sus líderes que no pregunten por sí mismos a Dios si son guiados por Él. Temo que se instalen en un estado de ciega seguridad en sí mismos... Que cada hombre y cada mujer sepan, por el susurro del Espíritu de Dios a sí mismos, si sus líderes están caminando en la senda que el Señor dicta, o no.

  Brigham Young

• Como dijo el élder George F. Richards, Presidente del Consejo de los Doce, en un discurso pronunciado en una conferencia en abril de 1947, 'cuando decimos algo malo de los líderes de la Iglesia, ya sea verdadero o falso, tendemos a perjudicar su influencia y su utilidad y estamos así obrando contra el Señor y su causa' ... El Espíritu Santo no guiará ni confirmará las críticas al ungido del Señor, ni a los líderes de la Iglesia, locales o generales. Esta realidad debe ser parte de la evaluación espiritual que los lectores y espectadores SUD apliquen a aquellas cosas escritas sobre nuestra historia y aquellos que la hicieron.

• In one sense what may pass between the pope and myself may be trivialities. In another sense the fact of talking trivialities is itself a portent of great significance. But the pleasantries which we exchange may, as one church leader said, be pleasantries about profundities.

• We should be patient in developing and strengthening our testimonies. Rather than expecting immediate or spectacular manifestations, though they will come when needed, we should pray for a testimony, study the scriptures, follow the counsel of our prophet and other Church leaders, and live the principles of the gospel. Our testimonies then will grow and mature naturally, perhaps imperceptibly at times, until they become driving forces in our lives.

• The tragic reality is that there have been occasions when [Mormon] Church leaders, teachers, and writers have not told the truth they knew about difficulties of the Mormon past, but have offered to the Saints instead a mixture of platitudes, half-truths, omissions, and plausible denials.

• Classically, there are three ways in which humans try to find transcendence--religious meaning--apart from God as revealed through the cross of Jesus: through the ecstasy of alcohol and drugs, through the ecstasy of recreational sex, through the ecstasy of crowds. Church leaders frequently warn against the drugs and the sex, but at least, in America, almost never against the crowds.

• Fue una verdadera sorpresa para mí encontrarme con la evidencia de que el cristianismo pudo haber sido una vez una religión danzada. Ciertamente, algunos de los primeros líderes de la Iglesia pensaban que esto era genial y hablaban de lo que parece haber sido una danza en círculo, tal vez alrededor de un altar.
