False Educational
Ideas President Harold B. Lee

One
of the greatest threats to the work of the Lord today comes from false
educational ideas. There is a growing tendency of teachers within and
without the Church to make academic interpretations of gospel teachings--to
read, as a prophet leader has said, "by the lamp of their own conceit."
Unfortunately, much in the sciences, the arts, politics, and the entertainment
field, as has been well said by an eminent scholar, is "all dominated
by this humanistic approach which ignores God and his word as revealed
through the prophets." This kind of worldly system apparently hopes
to draw men away from God by making man the "measure of all things,"
as some worldly philosophers have said.(President Harold B. Lee, CR, Oct 1968, p. 59) |
