"And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people, and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ. And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people; and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ."
As I read this verse it made me think. How many times in the scriptures or even in life have people turned their hearts away or tried to make people come away from what they know to be true. It again re-firmed my testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live, because no matter what if someone is trying to take the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints off the earth they will never succeed. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will let people fall away if they choose to turn their hearts away but if at anytime anyone tries to do anything with completely destroying the church they will not allow it. It is because this is the true church. Prophet Joseph Smith restored the gospel so that we could have it in our lives as long as we do what is right and choose to have it in our lives and the wonderful thing is there won't be another apostasy.

That's certainly a comforting thought. We don't have to worry about anything stopping the work of the Lord. Thanks for pointing that out.
There is a saying that "misery loves company" and I think that is what happens when someone is doing things they know to be wrong. They want others to join them so they feel more comfortable. It is so important that we don't let ourselves be misled by "flattering words".
