What a pleasant face ... and what a demonic religion! Touting the assertions of Lorenzo Snow tells us what we need to know of this man’s perspective. Poor ol’ Lorenzo, well educated as he may have been, proclaimed what has become known as ‘the couplet’, which is a blasphemy as old as the Garden of Eden. Mormonism has lots of blasphemies woven into the dogma of that religion, but the assertion that The God of Creation was once a man and had to earn the attributes of godhood is possibly the most destructive to the human soul. Perhaps that’s why satan tried to hint such a blasphemy to a woman who had walked with God! Now, so many generations removed from such intimate fellowship, satan just has some poor dupe put the blasphemous lie in the form of the Lorenzo Snow couplet: ‘As man is, god once was; as god is man may become.’
It’s the oldest lie in the book, literally. And so very easy to believe. It answers all of the deepest lusts and longings in the damaged human soul - sex, money and power.
