“Denied the Things Which He Had Taught Them”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

It does not take long before those who teach doctrines which are “pleasing unto the carnal mind” (Alma 30:53) begin to believe and practice the things they teach. Satan is the archdeceiver: he is smooth and his ways are slippery. His philosophies are appealing and his religion is captivating, particularly to those who yearn for salvation without obligation and commitment.
