Similar words were again--for the third
time--given to the wicked religious leaders and people of these
last days, by Jesus Christ, because it applies to them--again.
He said, more
succinctly this time, and with
emphasis on the modern situation, "Those professors (of religion) are all corrupt; they draw near
unto me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, They teach for
doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of Godliness, but they
deny the power thereof." Note the final words,
"they deny the power thereof." This
was not in the NT scripture. It was given to this day and age.
Sounds very similar to the words in "The Prophet Joseph Smith's
Testimony" pamphlet published in 1984 by the Church of Jesus Christ Latter
Day Saints. It is given out at LDS visiting centers &
historical cites. "Some were contending for the Methodist
faith, some for the Presbyterian, and some for the Baptist". Joe
didn't know which of the sects were right so in the sacred grove, Joe
asked God which he should join.
"I was answered I must join none of them, for they were all wrong, and
the personage who addressed me said all their creeds were an admonition in
His sight: that those professors were all corrupt: that they draw near me
with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They teach for
doctrines the commandments of men; having a form a godliness, but they
deny the power thereof".
Where is your quote from?

Blaine: Dean,
hope you don't mind me adding one more bit to your quote--the red letter
edition word of Jesus Christ to the wicked rulers and people
of his day:
"Ye hypocrites, well
did Esaias prophesy of you saying,
This people draweth nigh unto
me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips; but their
heart is far from me.
But in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Note that
this scripture was being given for the second time, since it is a quote
from the prophecies of Esaias (Isaiah). Yet
Jesus chose to say it again to these people to whom it applied
to. I think he did this because he knew they needed to have
it brought to their attention. Obviously, they were ignoring
it.

Yet many
still disregard it, saying, A Bible! A Bible! We have got a
Bible, and need no more Bible! IOr, in other words, we already
know that scripture, we do not need you to repeat
it!! (:>) (grin)
Isaiah made his
prophesies concerning the people of NT times. The BoM prophet
Nephi prophesied regarding our times, and his prophesy is fulfilled in
this generation.
