Even though Elder Nelson (2003), Elder Oaks (2009) and Elder Todd C (2016) wrote against the non-scriptural concept of ‘unconditional love’, LDS members continue to ‘cling’ onto its precepts and defend themselves in using ‘unconditional love’ in church discussions. I’m greatful that you produced the article that revealed the root of the false concept but more needs to be said in LDS circles to erridicate its use as doctrine.
Thank you Hannah. Just seeing your face fills my heart with love. I read “Rough Stone Rolling 15 years ago. It was so shocking I went to my Relief Society sisters. They said, “Why are you reading anti-Mormon literature?” I said “but this is sanctioned by the church.” I just chose to go forward in faith. When I read your book and heard your lecture, I knew the Lord had answered my prayers. His claims about Joseph Smith were not true. I have such a spirit of discernment when you speak. What you say is so true.
