Wirthlin Quorum of the Twelve (“Living Water to Quench Spiritual Thirst,” Ensign, May 1995, p.18)

  36. “False prophets always arise to oppose the true prophets.” Joseph Smith President (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 365).

  37. “False prophets and false teachers are those who arrogantly attempt to fashion new interpretations of the scriptures to demonstrate that these sacred texts should not be read as God’s words to His children but merely as the utterances of uninspired men, limited by their own prejudices and cultural biases…. M. Russell Ballard Quorum of the Twelve ("Beware of False Prophets and False Teachers," Ensign, November 1999, p.62)

  38. “False prophets and false teachers are also those who attempt to change the God-given and scripturally based doctrines that protect the sanctity of marriage, the divine nature of the family, and the essential doctrine of personal morality. They advocate a redefinition of morality to justify fornication, adultery, and homosexual relationships. Some openly champion the legalization of so-called same-gender marriages.” M. Russell Ballard Quorum of the Twelve ("Beware of False Prophets and False Teachers," Ensign, November 1999, p.62)
