Complaint against Art Bulla by Ogden Kraut

 17...and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD... (Isa  54:17)
Dear Ogden,

I understand the letter that you wrote expressing your concern. However, I feel that there are certain doctrinal errors which you have somehow overlooked. I feel that an exchange upon these things might be helpful to you as well as my self. To point out these things, the appeal I shall make will be to recognized authorities who have spoke concerning the points you have raised, since it seems that you do not recognize direct revelation, except to them, upon these matters. Hence the need, apparently, to appeal to the dead prophets even though Joseph and Brigham plainly taught concerning the greater efficacy and importance of living oracles to the generation in which one lives. I testify that the revelations which I have received are true and authoritative upon Israel. I confess a certain amount of anger concerning the darkness which pervades the minds and hearts of many of this generation and how they had rather cling to inconsistencies and falsehoods and thus perish, rather than repent. Again, I speak, not as a manpleaser, but as befitting that which I have received and know to be true, demonstrably and without question.

First, you state:

"...the Lord has warned us against anyone who would come among us trying to exercise any manner of control, dominion and compulsion upon any of his people." Letter, August 15, 1981. This is a blatant to me, but perhaps to others, with shattered understandings, subtle attempt to alter the intent and meaning of scripture. I am not as ignorant and unlettered as you suppose. The key word or phrase here is Unrighteous dominion, not "any" dominion, as you have written. Righteous dominion, control, etc. is what the Kingdom of Heaven is all about...
