John 17:3; “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

Apostate Christendom: Signs of the Times
The Millennial Messiah, p.403; “Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general. False churches, false prophets, false worship—breeding as they do a way of life that runs counter to the divine will—all these are signs of the times.” – Bruce McConkie

Hell isn’t Always Eternal
Encyclopedia of Mormonism, pg 586; “A third meaning of “hell” (second spiritual death) refers to the realm of the devil and his angels, including those known as sons of perdition (2 Pet. 2:4; D&C 29:38; 88:113; Rev. 20:14). It is a place for those who cannot be cleansed by the Atonement because they committed the unforgivable and unpardonable sin (1 Ne. 15:35; D&C 76:30-49). Only this hell continues to operate after the Resurrection and Judgment.”

Book of Mormon; the American Bible?
The following LDS reference came from a speech given by Bruce McConkie in 1985. In his defense for the Book of Mormon he referred to it as the American Bible. His words were noteworthy enough for us to take heed. The Church and its members like to denounce many of McConkie’s writings and speeches, yet we can see how they deliberately used them to further their agenda. If they really had a problem with him you can be sure he’d be shut down in a hurry.
“Come: Hear the Voice of the Lord”, Ensign, December 1985; “What is the Book of Mormon? In many respects it is the most marvelous book ever prepared by prophetic hands. Call it an American Bible if you will, for it goes hand in hand with the Bible itself in announcing the mind and will of the Lord and in proclaiming the eternal plan of salvation…

Blacks Denied Priesthood
Mormon Doctrine, p. 477, 1958; “Negroes in this life are denied the priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them…. Negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned…” – Apostle Bruce R. McConkie

False Gods
Better to Worship False Gods than Nothing at All?
Mortal Messiah 2:177; “It is better, no doubt, to have a false religion and to worship false gods than to have no religion and no worship at all. Neutrality is as nothing, and indifference is denigrating and damning. Those who are lukewarm—who are neither hot nor cold; who take no affirmative stand; who do not seek the blessings available through worship—will one day be spewed out of the divine mouth, as it were, and find their place in one of the lesser eternal realms.” – Bruce McConkie

Forget Past Revelations about Race
The 2nd Annual Symposium on the Book of Mormon, All are Alike unto God; “There are statements in our literature by the early brethren which we have interpreted to mean that the Negroes would not receive the priesthood in mortality. I have said the same things, and people write me letters and say, “You said such and such, and how is it now that we do such and such?” And all I can say to that is that it is time disbelieving people repented and got in line and believed in a living, modern prophet. Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whomsoever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge that now has come into the world…. We get our truth and our light line upon line and precept upon precept. We have now had added a new flood of intelligence and light on this particular subject, and it erases all the darkness and all the views and all the thoughts of the past. They don’t matter any more…. It doesn’t make a particle of difference what anybody ever said about the Negro matter before the first day of June of this year.” – Bruce McConkie, August 17-19, 1978

March 28 – In 1 Cor. 1:10 Paul says; “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”.

This scripture reference is what the Mormons use to ‘prove’ that all churches but them are apostate because we have so many different denominations. What they refuse to see is that if you follow the tenets of the Bible and see it as the infallible word of God, the name over the doorway is no different than each of us having our own identity with our given name.

“If modern churches do not conform to the New Testament pattern of the true Church, then the non-conforming organizations are apostate. This simple test of the authenticity of any church claiming to be the Lord’s may be made by finding answer to such questions as: Where is there a church that has…some combination of the names of Christ as its name?” Mormon Doctrine, pg 45.

March 13 – Gen. 3:24; “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim’s, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life”.
_____
Next to John 3:16, the Genesis scripture should be at the forefront of every believer’s mind. Man was separated from God, thus the need for John 3:16. It was not God’s intention for this to happen. He knew it would happen, but it doesn’t mean that He willed it to happen. The Mormon believes man had to sin in order to know joy, sadness and to even procreate. They believe this sin commandment came from God.

Please show the Mormon the truth about the Holy Spirit. He actually dwells inside of the believer!

March 10 – Matthew 1:21; “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”.
_____
Mormons believe that Jesus is one of billions of sexually begotten spirit children of God. To the Mormon, he is literally their elder brother, as is Satan. Their own teachings condemn themselves. If we are all literally born as sons and daughters of God before we came here, then Jesus is a product of incest.
In the book Mormon Doctrine of Deity page 264 it says that God came down here to earth to impregnate Mary “instead of letting any other man do it…”
_____
“The devil (literally meaning slanderer) is a spirit son of God who was born in the morning of pre-existence. (D&C 76:25-6). SPIRIT OF THE LORD – It has reference to the spirit body of Christ our Lord, the body which he had from the time of his birth as the Firstborn of the Father until he was born of Mary in mortality”.

Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ will bring insults, slander and even hatred on you because of your devotion to Him. When the Mormon gets angry with you, turn the other cheek and memorize the verse above.

Mormon Doctrine, pg. 131; “That portion of the world in which so-called Christianity prevails—as distinguished from heathen or Mohammedan lands—is called Christendom. The term also applies to the whole body of supposed Christian beliers; as now constituted this body is properly termed apostate Christendom”.

February 16 – 1 Corinthians 15:47; “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven”.
_____
Mormons will tell you there aren’t any scriptures that say we don’t have a heavenly mother, yet it’s clear that God is self-existent without the need of anyone’s help for creating us. In fact, He’s the only one to come down from heaven at all, meaning we were not with Him before living on this earth. Ask the Mormon why they believe there is a “Heavenly Mother”.
_____
“This doctrine that there is a Mother in Heaven was affirmed in plainness by the First Presidency of the Church…that man is the “offspring of celestial parentage” and that “all men and women are in the similitude of the universal Father and Mother, and are literally the sons and daughters of Deity””.

February 12 – Are you sure you’re saved? “…for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day”. 2 Tim. 1:12b
_____
Your question to a Mormon today should be twofold. 1-Who exactly is Jesus Christ? 2-If you died today would you go to heaven? If a Mormon is to be completely honest, he won’t be able fulfill his obligations here on earth to attain full salvation.

February 8 – “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days;” Col. 2:16
_____
When Jesus came to earth, He was the fulfillment of the Law. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. If you’re truly saved, your outward behavior is a manifestation of your inner conversion, thus negating the need for more laws to follow. Obeying the ordinances of man doesn’t bring honor to God.
_____
“Three types of things are prohibited to man by the Word of Wisdom—tobacco, strong drinks, and hot drinks…through the cleanliness resulting from keeping this law of health, and by ‘walking in obedience to the commandment’, the saints will qualify for the companionship of the Holy Spirit…” Mormon Doctrine, pgs. 845-847

January 11 – Grace. Hebrews 4:16 says we can “come boldly unto the throne of grace, so that we can obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”.
_____
The Greek word for grace is charis. (Strong’s #5485) The transliteration means favor or gift. Think today about what God has graced you with. Is it your very life, your spouse, children, or home? Has He healed you from a disease? How has He personally blessed you? Share with a Mormon how He has done this.
_____
Grace is not to be found in Mormonism. There is no favor with God unless you earn it. Bruce McConkie said; “Grace is granted to men proportionately as they conform to the standards of personal righteousness that are part of the gospel plan. Thus the saints are commanded to “grow in grace”’. Mormon Doctrine pg. 339.

So it’s not because you’re a Pentecostal, or the neighbor’s a Baptist or maybe your aunt is a Methodist. It’s because He is the Savior of man, not the name over the doorway.

Mormons believe “because the Lord called Joseph Smith, salvation is again available to mortal men”. Mormon Doctrine pg. 396-Bruce McConkie
