A Mormon missionary pair came tonight. They claimed that God commanded their founding false one to destroy marriages and commit adultery. And then backtracked and denied the adultery part, after lying about the legal records which remain in Independence, MO. An educational moment.

It's quite sad to read about the missionary pair and the founding false one who led to such significant misunderstandings.

In John 8:32, we're reminded that "the truth will set you free," and it’s vital to seek clarity, especially when it comes to matters as sacred as marriage.

The idea that God would command harm to the institution of marriage contradicts the teachings found in scriptures like Hebrews 13:4, which says, "Let marriage be held in honor among all."

It's essential to recognize not only the importance of fidelity but also the serious implications when teachings lead people astray.

Moments like these remind us of the need for open dialogue and education. It's an opportunity to gently correct misconceptions and promote a deeper understanding of truths that uphold the sanctity of marriage. Thank you for sharing this moment; it truly serves as a significant reminder of our responsibility to pursue and share true teachings.

I’d say no more nor less than anyone is commanded “ of” god.

As for lies, and liars, there’s Saul.
