Ballard's Hilarious "Beware of False Prophets and False Teachers" Talk

Personal

there are false prophets and false teachers who have or at least claim to have membership in the Church ...

> Ummm ... Like the Q15?

President Spencer W. Kimball reminded us that the prophets “constantly cry out against that which is intolerable in the sight of the Lord; against pollution of mind, body, and our surroundings; against vulgarity, stealing, lying, pride, and blasphemy; against fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and all other abuses of the sacred power to create; against murder and all that is like unto it; against all manner of desecration.” ...

Pride: Like when Joseph Smith said:

Murder: Like when Brigham Young taught the Blood Atonement or said the following before the Provo River Massacre:

False prophets and false teachers are those who arrogantly attempt to fashion new interpretations of the scriptures to demonstrate that these sacred texts should not be read as God’s words to His children but merely as the utterances of uninspired men, limited by their own prejudices and cultural biases. They argue, therefore, that the scriptures require new interpretation and that they are uniquely qualified to offer that interpretation.

Limited by their own prejudices and cultural biases you say?

They argue, therefore, that the scriptures require new interpretation and that they are uniquely qualified to offer that interpretation ...

Like when Brigham Young taught Adam-God?

Regardless of which particular false doctrines they teach, false prophets and false teachers are an inevitable part of the last days.
