LOL,
I love your lies. I guess when you hear from someone who heard from another that’s the lies you come up with. Keep up the pathetic work. Just one question, why do people like yourselves waste so much of your time and energy trying to tear a people down? Are you not happy in life? Maybe you need to find Christ in your life. I am a member of the LDS church and I don’t know any members that don’t believe in Christ. Where do you get your info? And the lies about the temple, lol WOW!!!
That is one of the e-mails we received today here at the ministry. The reason I post some of these is so our readers will know how to pray for the Mormon people. Over all, this is a pretty typical note on part of the Mormon. Here is my response:
Dear LDS member;
1. You didn’t specify what I’m lying about. If you can show that I’ve lied anywhere on any of the websites I have, I will immediately pull the wrong material and publicly apologize.
2. Where on this website do I tear anyone down? We fully examine and identify false teachings, but people, no. We love the Mormon people dearly and wouldn’t dream of maligning anyone, let alone a member of the LDS Church.
3. You obviously didn’t read the testimonies of those who’ve left the Church and found Jesus who changed their lives forever. Also see more testimonies on our other site at http://www.lifeafter.org/testimonies.asp; http://lifeafterministry.com/testimonies; http://lifeafterministry.com/about
4. I’ve never claimed the Mormon people don’t believe in Christ. I am a firm believer they think they love Jesus, but it’s the wrong Jesus.
Clearly, the Jesus of Mormonism is not the Jesus of the Bible. The Mormon Jesus is a created man who lived as a polygamist and had children. The Jesus of the Bible is not created, in fact He is God incarnate and was not married. John 1:1, 14.
The Jesus of the Bible died on the cross to pay for your sin and mine. He did not make an atonement for sin in the Garden of Gethsemane as Mormonism proclaims.
The God of the Bible is not an exalted man as it says throughout Mormon teachings, nor is he a separate human aside from Jesus as it states in Doctrine and Covenants 130:22.
The body of Christ did not go into a complete apostasy as Joseph Smith claimed. Matthew 16:18 clearly states the gates of hell won’t prevail against the church. This is a promise to the body of Christ directly from Jesus Himself. 1 Nephi 14:10 is a false teaching that the church is the “whore of Babylon”.
5. I have always made it very clear that I get all of my information directly from the LDS Church.
6. Specifically, what lies have I/we told about the temple?
7. I can only speak for myself about being happy, but from reading the other testimonies and knowing hundreds upon hundreds of ex-Mormon Christians I can safely say that no one has any regrets and happier now than they ever were in Mormonism.
Know that we’re praying for you and hope to hear back from you soon to discuss what you believe are the lies I’ve told.
With Love in Christ, Michelle Grim
I’m 34 years old and I’ve been a Morman, or member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, my entire life. Born in the church by a faithful member her entire life. Son of a member of the Bishopric. Brother to a man who served a 2 year mission in Paris France. And brother to 4 sisters who are all serving callings, “works” in the church today and who’s families are very active and strong in the church. I was revealed, just last year, the level of deciete in which I have lived, WORKED, worshipped, thought, prayed, believed, and outwardly acted towards my Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, as well as my many neighbors. Revalation came to me by The Word of God. Which is the only Word of God, which is The Holy Bible. Seeking truth and understanding of my Heavenly Father and His Son, whom delivered unto every man the GIFT of salvation by means of His Holy Grace and Love. Undeserving, all we have to do to receive our GIFT is only that. RECIEVE IT. IT being Grace, which is forgiveness for all things and unto all men who will take upon them The Name of The Lord, Jesus Christ. By Grace men are free from sin and the wrath and curse of the law. The Son Of God received ALL punishment for ALL sin, that he didn’t deserve do to his whole ness and love for The Father, so that we, sinners, could RECIEVE forgiveness for sin by His Holy Grace, that we don’t deserve. Which is why it is a GIFT. Not our reward. Because WE did not earn it. We cannot. But we must RECIEVE his Grace and put the fore front of our minds eye on Him. And walk in His light. Not in the darkness of sin. To think or attempt that we, that YOU, can achieve perfection by acts of the flesh is blaspheme against The Almighty GOD. “For no man shall come unto the Father but by Him”. Only by Christ. To deny this is to deny Christ. To deny Christ is to deny his grace, which is rejection to the GIFT OF SALVATION.
Any attempt to become SELF RIGHTOUS is beyond mans capability, and your only means of measure is the law. Thus placing yourself under the curse. Which is the law. Which brings death unto all who are under the curse. And Grace, which was given by Him Who Is The Rightousness Of God, by his love for the Father, brings everlasting life. GOD SAYS MAN CANNOT BE DECIEVED INTO DARKNESS BY THE WORD OF GOD. Only by darkness and by those who serve the wicked one. Joseph Smith was the first of many false prophets in the Morman church whom have brought about a gospel that decieves a soul to false understanding and false doctrine and false testamony. And condemns himself as well as those who follow him to suffer the Judgement of law by our Father in Heaven. GOD tells us to identify false doctrine, compare it to the True Word Of God, which is unchanging and everlasting, which is the Bible. Not go home and pray about it and ask with a sincere heart, and he will confirm the truth to you. ” For the heart is easily decieved”. And if you follow your heart you will be led astray. Follow the Word Of God and His Only Begotten and recieve your salvation. He has snuffed out your flame that was given unto you for light. And leads you with a shadow into the shadow of darkness. And means to destroy you and the Great Plan of Salvation. OPEN YOUR EYES CHILDREN OF GOD! YOUR SAVIOUR IS WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL UPON HIM IN THE NAME OF GOD. REPENT AND CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND WALK IN HIS EVERLASTING HOLY FAVOR AN RECIEVE ALL THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM, ISIAAC, and JACOB. PRAISE GOD AND HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST. I leave you my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Praise to God through the Holy Spirit’s leading, you have read His Word, repented of your sins, and come to the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus! No one can come on his own but is lead to read and hear the Words of Eternal life.
May you continue to confess Jesus is Lord and live your faith!
We are praying for you. Thank you for sharing your joyous life with us here!
