Mormon Dilemma 415

Man Created God in his Own Image

Discourses of Brigham Young, pg 471; “Brother Kimball quoted a saying of Joseph the Prophet, that he would not worship a God who had not a Father; and I do not know that he would if he had not a mother; the one would be as absurd as the other. If he had a Father, he was made in his likeness. And if he is our Father we are made after his image and likeness. He once possessed a body, as we now do; and our bodies are as much to us, as his body to him. Every iota of this organization is necessary to secure for us an exaltation with the Gods.”

Facebook and Anti-Mormons

Facebook and Anti-Mormons

On Wednesday I was notified by a fellow Christian about a new Facebook page listing Christian ministries that are considered “anti-Mormons” to members of the LDS Church.

The purpose of the FB page serves as a warning for fellow members of Mormonism that visiting other FB pages or websites of these supposed “anti-Mormons” could be detrimental to their spiritual walk.

Isn’t it odd that just this week I asked the question if Christians are anti-Mormon would that mean Mormons are anti-Christian?

Heavenly Parents?

“The Love of God”, Liahona and Ensign, November 2009; “We are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are God’s spirit children. Therefore, we have a vast capacity for love—it is part of our spiritual heritage. What and how we love not only defines us as individuals; it also defines us as a church. Love is the defining characteristic of a disciple of Christ.” —Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Abrahamic Covenant

http://www.lds.org “Abraham made covenants with God when he received the gospel, when he was ordained a high priest, and when he entered into celestial marriage. In these covenants, God promised great blessings to Abraham and his family. These blessings, which extend to all of Abraham’s seed, are called the Abrahamic covenant.”

Truth

Boyd Packer has been a source of quotes for us here at LAM because of the contradictory and heretical teachings that come from his mouth while standing at a pulpit. And this time his teachings have proven themselves to be no different than other times.

On Sunday evening, November 6, 2011 the Deseret News published an article highlighting the speech he gave to an audience of young LDS members eager to hear some prophetic and wisdom filled words from the Mormon apostle.

Mormon Dilemma 93

Bible, Many Errors and Contradictions

Answers to Gospel Questions 2:161; “”No Man Hath Seen God at Any Time”—a Mistranslation. No Bible student today believes that the Bible has come down to us in its perfect and original appearance in the manuscripts. Scribes left out words and phrases, just as we do at times in typing, missing one whole line and thus changing the meaning. Moreover, the scribes added or interpreted according to their own opinions at times. These things are quite generally understood. Therefore we find errors and contradictions in the Bible. There are too many passages which declare very definitely that God did appear, “face to face,” with his ancient servants. Therefore, passages which declare that no man has seen him, must be in error.” – Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr.

Mormon Dilemma 77

Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged Apostle Packer, bible, false doctrines, false prophet, Jesus, lying for the Lord, mormonism, salvation, truth on 10/10/2011 | 4 Comments »

Lying for the Lord

Preach My Gospel, pg. 50; “When first teaching this doctrine, do not teach everything you know about it. Explain very simply that God chose two of His children, Adam and Eve, to become the first parents on earth. After their transgression they were subject to both sin and death. By themselves they could not return to live with Heavenly Father. The Lord spoke to Adam and taught him the plan of salvation and redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ. By following that plan, Adam and his family could have joy in this life and return to live with God (See Alma 18:36; 22:12-14).”

Christians are Pagans

Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses 14:346; “This class of men, calling themselves Christian, uniting with the various forms of the pagan religion, adopting many of their ceremonies and institutions, became very popular, and finally some of the pagans embraced Christianity and were placed, as it were, upon the throne, and what they termed Christianity became very popular indeed. How long has this order of things existed, this dreadful apostacy, this class of people that pronounced themselves Zion, or Christians, without any of the characteristics of Zion? It has existed for some sixteen or seventeen centuries.” – Salt Lake City, March 10, 1872

New Bible Translation

Posted in Bible Translations, tagged Common bible, Jesus, KJV, salvation, truth, word of God on 07/22/2011 | Leave a Comment »

Watch out folks, here it comes.

There’s a new Bible translation coming out, called “The Common English Translation”. Their goal is to make it a gender neutral bible. Yeah…okay…

Here’s a sample of what you’ll find and compare for yourself. Both passages are Luke 9:43-44;

Common Bible Translation;

“While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ “ Take these words to heart: the Human One is about to be delivered into human hands. ” – emphasis mine

KJV;

“And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.” – emphasis mine

I’m just here to inform when the word of God is being twisted for perverted uses. You can read more about this on the official website of this group at

http://www.commonenglishbible.com/Home/tabid/39/Default.aspx

Pray that the body of Christ doesn’t fall for the lies.

With Love in Christ, Michelle

Freedom for Mormons

I have found truth to be elusive in the Mormon Church. It changes, becoming something different from one generation to the next. Whimsies of past and present Mormon presidents have described truth as one thing, and then it seems to become something else later. The Mormon Church says God is speaking. But how do we know?

False Prophecies of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon

As I’ve mentioned before there have been countless false prophecies uttered by Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon seems to be from none other than the fanciful imagination of Smith. The characters stories, location, et al, are all non-existent. That is according to the late Hugh Nibley, LDS Church historian.

Civil War Prophecy

D&C 87:1-6; “Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls; 2 And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations, beginning at this place.3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations.4 And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war.5 And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the land will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry, and shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation.6 And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations.”

Easter Essays

This had to be one of the most blessed and exciting Holy Week and Easter celebrations I’ve experienced since I was saved on Palm Sunday in 1993. I had the opportunity to mentor several brand new Christian ex-Mormons. It was completed in a hap-hazard way, but it gave me much insight for next year. The blessing was in seeing and witnessing via e-mail and phone how wonderful their lives are now that they are saved.

Apostates and the Salt Sermon

James 5:9; “Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.”

The purpose of this article is twofold. I pray the Mormons will see how God uses His creation for His own purpose. (Romans 13:1) The other is to show Mormon and non-Mormon alike, how the hatred in the heart of some people rules their own world regardless of what members of the Church say publicly today.

He had been on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List since May. Today he’s sitting in a jail in Texas awaiting trial on charges of bigamy and child sexual abuse.
