Seagulls, Joseph, Brigham & Hyrum
Mosiah 12:36; “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing in heaven above, or things which are in the earth beneath.”
Exodus 20:4; “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything in heaven above, or things which are in the earth beneath.”
Why are there statues in Salt Lake City of seagulls, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young?
Moreover, why are there statues in Carthage, Illinois of Joseph and Hyrum?
Why are there engraved images of stars, moons and the sun on Nauvoo and Salt Lake Temples?
If you’re LDS do you understand or have you studied what the graven images mean on the outside walls of the Salt Lake or Nauvoo temples?
Funny, considering that you worship crosses, a tool used to horrifically kill people.
Hi Michael –
Could you tell me what you mean specifically? I’m not aware of any Christian who worships the cross.

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
For starters, your article here: http://lifeafterministry.com/2011/01/14/atonement-of-jesus-christ/
You condemn Latter-day Saints for “not accepting the cross.” It is Christ’s sacrifice which paid for our sins. The cross was merely the tool used. Yet you worship the tool, not celebrate the sacrifice paid.
I realize that if it weren’t for hypocrisy, you’d have no site. It’s time that you start make the corrections others have pointed out to you to at least bring it out of being a complete lie.
