2 Nephi 28
They shall teach with their learning (sounds very much like today) – that does not imply that they have no knowledge or learning, only that they do not have or consult the spirit.
“Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God – he does not expect us to be perfect or to inconvenience our lives based on what we know of Him or His laws.”
The people must be stirred up to repentance or else the devil will stir them up to anger.
