I haven't heard of this term until most recently, and I have heard it a lot. A 'Living' Gospel.
During a recent discussion with a friend of mine, he spelled it out to me as I raised objections about many issues and contradictions of the church.
He said: "That with a living prophet, we have a living gospel. A gospel that can be changed with the needs of the church. What the Bible says is irrelevant. What the BoM says is irrelevant. What the D&C and PoGP say is irrelevant. What a prophet said last year is irrelevant.
The ONLY thing that matters is what is the living prophet is saying right now. The prophet is allowed to contradict everything because he is the current prophet, and thus this makes ALL of your arguments invalid.
The question is, do you believe in a living prophet or not?"
This term... "living gospel" is starting to pop up everywhere... it basically means that every argument that you can make against the church doesn't matter because the gospel is always changing.
How do you counter this argument?
