“The scriptures say, ‘The Spirit
shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the
Spirit ye shall not teach’ (D&C 42:14). This teaches not just that you
won’t teach or that you can’t teach or that it will be pretty shoddy teaching.
No, it is stronger than that. It is the imperative form of the verb. ‘Ye shall
not teach.’
Put a thou
in
there for ye and you have Mount Sinai language. This
is a commandment.”
