Ensign, “Joy in Christ,” March 16, 1986, pgs 3-4; “He was the Only Begotten Son of our Heavenly Father in the flesh—the only child whose mortal body was begotten by our Heavenly Father. His mortal mother, Mary, was called a virgin, both before and after she gave birth. (See 1 Nephi 11:20.)”

Last year we wrote an article about the jewelry sold on the Deseret Book’s online jewelry store asking Mormons to take a look at the spiritual implications of what the trinkets for their charm bracelets and necklaces meant. Then Melissa noticed in the Christmas season they were selling replicas of the angel of light Moroni as a Christmas tree topper and we pointed out the spiritual dangers of that as well.
So while perusing their site earlier this week I came across many of the same things we pointed out last time in addition to a few other items. In light of our findings we thought it’d be worthwhile to take a look at what the following items mean spiritually.

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg 74; “President Smith proposed the following question: What importance is there attached to the calling of the Twelve Apostles, different from the other callings or officers of the Church? . . . They are the Twelve Apostles, who are called to the office of the Traveling High Council, who are to preside over the churches of the Saints, among the Gentiles, where there is no presidency established; and they are to travel and preach among the Gentiles, until the Lord shall command them to go to the Jews. They are to hold the keys of this ministry, to unlock the door of the Kingdom of heaven unto all nations, and to preach the Gospel to every creature. This is the power, authority, and virtue of their apostleship.”

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg 255; “Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God. But we cannot keep all the commandments without first knowing them, and we cannot expect to know all, or more than we now know unless we comply with or keep those we have already received.”

LDS Church News, August 31, 1996; “Our scriptures say that God told Moses only about this planet. I guess he didn’t have a high enough security clearance to be given all that other data. But we’re not worshiping a one-planet God. How vast in space His dominions are we do not know, but we are not alone in the universe.” – Neal A. Maxwell

Teachings of Presidents of the Church; Joseph F. Smith, pg 100; “The object of our earthly existence is that we may have a fulness of joy, and that we may become the sons and daughters of God, in the fullest sense of the word, being heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, to be kings and priests unto God, to inherit glory, dominion, exaltation, thrones and every power and attribute developed and possessed by our Heavenly Father. This is the object of our being on this earth. In order to attain unto this exalted position, it is necessary that we go through this mortal experience, or probation, by which we may prove ourselves worthy, through the aid of our elder brother Jesus.”

Ensign, “Great Shall be the Peace of Your Children”, November 2000; “…the piercing of the body for multiple rings in the ears, in the nose, even in the tongue. Can they possibly think that is beautiful? It is a passing fancy, but its effects can be permanent. Some have gone to such extremes that the ring had to be removed by surgery. The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve have declared that we discourage tattoos and also “the piercing of the body for other than medical purposes.” We do not, however, take any position “on the minimal piercing of the ears by women for one pair of earrings”—one pair.” – Gordon B. Hinckley

Articles of Faith, p.404; “This system of holy matrimony, involving covenants as to time and eternity, is known distinctively as Celestial Marriage—the order of marriage that exists in the celestial worlds….

Journal of Discourses 4:372; “Let every person be the friend of God, that whatever He reveals to you, you can wisely handle without asking Him whether you shall tell your wife of it or not. You can recollect the backhanded blow I gave to some of the brethren last winter. They were in pain, because they knew something which they could not tell to their wives. I would not trust such men out of sight of my dinner. God will not trust the least thing to such persons. Sisters, if you are in pain, because you cannot tell your husbands everything, you had better take a little catnip tea, and get over it, if you can.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, June 28, 1857

‘TIS THE SEASON for Smithmas
In recent weeks the Church has produced a lot of material promoting the idea they want the Saints to be focused on Jesus because it is after all the Christmas season. I noticed a theme that kept running through each of the articles they produced and it had little to do with Jesus, but a lot to do with the praise and adoration of their founder, Joseph Smith. I thought it’d be good to re-post an article I wrote a few years back that outlined just how wonderful Mr. Smith was. The following was originally posted in December 2008.

Mormonism is a works based faith, of this there is no doubt. We’ve written in exhaustive measure how the Church keeps members busy, so busy it’s hard to find private alone time to actually sit in silence in order to read and study the Bible.

2 Nephi 2:25 “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.”

Evidences and Reconciliations, pg. 357-358; “Many of the Saints were Masons, such as Joseph’s brother Hyrum, Heber C. Kimball, Elijah Fordham, Newel K. Whitney, James Adams, and John C. Bennett. These members called attention to the spirit of brotherhood and brotherly love which are the foundations of Masonic fraternity… The people of the Church needed friends. The work in Nauvoo would be hindered if opposition to the Church were allowed to grow.” – John Widtsoe
Anyone or anything that disagrees with the LDS Church is considered anti-Mormon. Yet, the Church considers themselves to be a Christian church.
