Jeremiah 1:5; “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

I honestly believe that Mormonism is a hodge-podge of all kinds of religions. It’s Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Islam, Atheism, Unitarian, Satanism and everything else you can think of all rolled up into one. Satan slapped a pretty new bow on an old lie and named it Mormonism.
The Greek philosopher Plato taught on the principle of the intelligence of man existing from eternity to eternity. He also taught that once man was born he forgot everything he knew in heaven so when he came here to earth he wasn’t really learning any new truth; he was just remembering what he’d known in heaven before he came here.
Wow! It’s like déjà-vu all over again eh? Good grief!
