False Educational
Ideas President Ezra Taft Benson
|
|
The
world worships the learning of man. They trust in the arm of the flesh.
To them, men's reasoning is greater than God's revelations. The precepts
of man have gone so far in subverting our educational system that in
many cases a higher degree today, in the so called social sciences,
can be tantamount to a major investment in error. Very few men build
firmly enough on the rock of revelation to go through this kind of an
indoctrination and come out untainted. Unfortunately, of those who succumb,
some use their higher degree to get teaching positions even in our Church
educational system, where they spread the falsehoods they have been
taught. President Joseph F. Smith was right when he said that false
educational ideas would be one of the three threats to the Church within.(President Benson, CR, April 1969, p. 12) |
