in the teacher's manual, there is also a great worksheet/list of scriptures
to see the characteristics of a false prophet vs. true prophet.......we did
it yesterday and it was very helpful to introduce these concepts.....

We talked about this today as we studied in Zephaniah.  Zephaniah talks
about how the priest had corrupted the doctrine.   I have had a few students
say "They think their prophet is real.  He tells them he is receiving
revelation.  How do we know our prophet is the "real" prophet.?"  That
brought into discussion "by their works ye shall know them."

> MORMONS and all your wives, etc."......
>
> So we got into D&C 121 (verses 11-24) that shares how the Lord feels about

> Then we took out the "Official Declaration #1" from Wilford Woodruff

> marriage........that we obey the law of the land...........that these
> ordinances do not occur in the temple, etc.
>
> It was pretty powerful and helped us all to see that the Lord speaks to

> days are different but same.
>
> We also discussed that false prophets don't have to be people who profess
> to be prophet......that they can be "wolves in sheeps clothing", luring
> people in with the charisma, popularity, acceptance, or
> whatever..........and that these practices are just like the ravenous
> wolves who will devour us. We referred to Matthew 7 that discusses this
> more.

> The kids were really engaged and I felt they were "likening" the
> scriptures to our day. It was so AWESOME!
