How the Devil is Presently Deceiving You!

39 And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.(D&C 93:39) 4 And it came to pass that the children...gave heed to the traditions of their fathers and believed not the gospel of Christ, wherein they became unholy.(D&C 74:4) If a man sees his house about to fall, if he sees something or other continually gnawing and picking, and operating upon the foundation, and discovers that by and bye his house must fall, perhaps when he is asleep, or when he is gone from home, and destroy his women and children, he is all the time worried, and in a stew; all the time watching with a fearful looking for the time when it will crumble to pieces. This is the difficulty with the professing Christian world. Is it so with the Infidel? No, he does not care anything about the matter; but those sweet, loving, blessed Christians, the priest in the pulpit, and the deacon under it, and the sage followers of their own nonsense and the traditions of their fathers (Mormons included) are the ones who are at war with the Eternal Priesthood of God. (Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 2:, p.180) . Though they may have erred because of false doctrine and the traditions of men and the fog that beclouded their minds and the minds of their fathers...those who love darkness rather than light,because their deeds are evil, are fighting against the light and will shun it when it approaches, like the thief at the approach of the officer of the law, and conceals himself in darkness. So with those who love evil, who have abandoned themselves to wickedness, who have given themselves up to hypocrisy and to the lust of the flesh, and who sell themselves to the enemy of all righteousness to work wickedness for gain; darkness reigns in their hearts, and they become the children of disobedience, hating the light because their deeds are evil. (Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 20:, p.187)
