Moroni the golden calf of MormonismMelissa sent me an e-mail with the link below to the online Deseret Bookstore Christmas decoration section.

My first reaction when I saw this golden Moroni tree topper was the story of the Israelites making themselves a golden calf to worship while waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain.

I don’t know about anyone else and what they put on top of their trees.  My family has traditionally put an angel on ours symbolizing the angels who declared the birth of our Lord.

Moroni, Who was he?

MORONI – AN ANGEL OF LIGHT 

My prayer for the ministry of Life After has been that we would be in God’s will at all times for all things.  Whenever I think about the doctrines of Mormonism in light of what God has given and shown to me, my heart is sickened.  Therefore our purpose at Life After Ministries is to always tell the truth while informing the public and offering the ultimate solution; that being the way to the real Heavenly Father.  I will be asking a series of questions throughout this investigation and they will be listed at the end for quick reference as well.
