Truth will cut its own way

Verily, verily, I say unto you, wo be unto him that lieth to deceive because he supposeth that another lieth to deceive, for such are not exempt from the justice of God. D&C 10:28

One Latter-day Saint religious educator viewed a video on Mormonism in which a score of falsehoods were presented as fact. In one case, the narrator of the video purposely misquoted a passage from the Doctrine and Covenants. When the Later-day Saint inquired why such a thing would be done, the critic of the Church replied simply, “Well, sir, we call it divine deception.” From his perspective, all was fair in war against the Latter-day Saint, even lies. Doctrine and Covenants 10:28 is a warning to those convinced that the work of the restoration is false and who may use dishonesty and questionable methods in denouncing the Church. It is also a sobering reminder of the necessity for us to be accurate and honest in out presentation of gospel truths. The restored gospel is robust enough that it requires neither exaggeration nor folktales to buttress its strength, for “truth will cut its own way.” [Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 313] (Robert L.
