As Church grows, what is taught remains the same
Though the number of students in the Church Educational System continually grows, President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency told CES instructors that what is to be taught remains the same. Speaking to a large congregation in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, President Eyring's address was also broadcast via satellite to other congregations around the world in what has become a CES annual event: "An Evening With a General Authority."

As I pondered in the title "As Church Grows, What Is Taught Remains The Same" I mean is that supposed to be? Its kind of depressing that after all these years what is taught is the same thing over and over and over again you know what am I saying?. It wasnt like that in the early days of the church so what exactly happened? I don't think its something to be proud of.

Comments: SuziSu, I couldn't agree with you more. It smacks of that vs. In Isaiah that accuses leaders of our day of regurgitating the same old thing over and over and plowing and plowing the field but never planting the seed. All designed to keep us right where we are... No where near Zion.
What?
You think its the leaders choice that keep teaching us the same thing. Its because we as a church as a whole haven't moved forward! Most of the people I see in the church are fine with the same old thing and don't want any change. The only way to gain more knowledge is to grow spiritually.
Mormon talked about how he was going to write down all that Jesus taught the Nephites. But he was told not to, to try our faith.
Pres Benson brings up the condemnation the church is under because we don't use the book of mormon as should (I would add all scripture).
In the end, the gospel is the same, its same principles that were taught to Adam. There is no need to change them, or change how we teach them. The only thing that needs to change is how we live them.
Mormonism moving beyond its infancy, scholars say at Sunstone
SALT LAKE CITY - Unlike some American religious movements, Mormonism has moved beyond its infancy and adolescent stages into a continually maturing faith that depends on its orthodox, institutional power structure and a strong sense of right and wrong. Ref. Source 2
