THE GREAT COUNTERFEITER - HEED HIM NOT!

I am an engineer.  I am always amazed at the other countries out there that build great products - but rarely come up with their own original stuff.  Usually, the copies can exceed the original creation and can be smaller and more efficient/more effective.  BUT - nothing beats the original concept that started the revolution in thinking.

God has His own imitators (and critics/accusers) - and they always talk trash about the Creator and try to improve upon His designs and draw away supporters, but they never quite completely succeed.  They have to have their shot, before they are whisked away to Outer Darkness where they feel comfortable, having heeded the call to lesser and lesser light until they have none in them.  It is all part of the plan - I suppose they have to have their shot at making the original look obsolete or outmoded; this in order to be given the chance to more fully condemn themselves.  And then it is curtains for them.  This is part of the balance of moral agency.  I wonder how many times this drama has played itself out in Heavenly Courts - and the proud and the arrogant never learn from legion failed attempts by other losers in the battle for supremacy.

I am sure it is not for having no access to the records.  I am sure, when the final analysis is complete, there is some document out there warning against such foolish attempts - just as there is a Book of Mormon (and the Bible - to a degree), warning against the works of darkness that would attempt a one-world takeover and consolidation of power.  And yet, many of us LDS with full access to that document fail to take heed per President Benson.......

So, I guess we can find a potential cosmic pattern to the madness.  It is an ebb and flow in the sea of moral relativism and mortal weakness.

Here is the ETB quote that got me waxing philosophical:

"Whenever the God of heaven establishes by revelation his design, Satan always comes among men to pervert the doctrine, saying, “Believe it not.” He often establishes a counterfeit system, designed to deceive the children of men. His aim, as it was before the foundation of this earth was laid, is to thwart the agency of man and to subjugate him."
