First, Talmage tries to teach , “… some of the scenes that had been enacted in the spirit-world before the beginning of human history.” Talmage misapplies John’s writing in order to fabricate a perspective which supports mormon heresies. Two paragraphs later, Talmage quotes again, and the time frame contradicts what Talmage tried to assert in the preceeding paragraph! … "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” If Talmage were correctly teaching of things before the beginning of human History, how is it that Satan had ‘nations to weaken’ leading to his downfall? And mormonism is rife with such goobledegoop contradictions.
