I’d like to read it myself. I am wondering if this question is coming from anti-Mormon literature, which I find takes all that the leaders say out of context.

To question whether or not, Prophet Young, was not of God is to deny the promise of our leaders never leading us astray. We have been promised that the Church would not become apostate like the early church preceding Christ’s death and resurrection. The individual members may become apostates, but the Church as a whole and in it’s doctrines will not become apostate.

If this was declared a doctrine of the church; then it’s so, but if it isn’t declared as thus; then it may very well be someone misquoted President Young. Yet, to trust that we know all about the universe and trust in the arm of flesh for all scientific knowledge of “worlds without end” is not a wise course. Scientists, especially those who hate God, are not to be trusted in my opinion. I’d worry more about discrediting a Latter-day prophet than I would be about whether he is not of God. To me, that would be the greater error here.

There was a time when I assumed everything taught to us in school, in the news, and from other worldly sources like the government was true and always in good faith. In fact the more people that believed something the more i assumed it must be true. But After several decades of experience that time has surely passed. Trust the Lord. Trust his prophets. And seek the HG for your answers.

It would just look like seething, rolling flames of fire to us, because we are of the Telestial order, and cannot endure their presence in the flesh. Same for the Moon if it is of the Terrestrial order. So don’t go calling Brother Brigham a false prophet just yet.
