ether 11: 1 - 23
are prophets today rejected like in these verses? why do you think the people rejected the prophets?
--> prophets today are just as rejected as prophets of old, just maybe not in the physical/violent ways that we read about in the book of mormon. many people speak out against prophets today, especially when their teachings aren't kosher with the lifestyle people are living. there were many people who spoke about following the prophet in the recent general conference, which is a sign to me that it is a problem that is prevalent today. people get so comfortable with their lifestyle, they oppose anyone that doesn't jive with that. that, and just looking for a reason to fall away, are the two main reasons people reject the prophets, i believe. but as the primary song goes: "follow the prophet, he knows the way!"
