One of BoM’s Biggest Lies

Book of Mormon Student Manual, p. 95 “We are not saved in our sins, as by being unconditionally saved through confessing Christ and then, inevitably, committing sins in our remaining lives (see Alma 11:36–37). We are saved from our sins (see Helaman 5:10) by a weekly renewal of our repentance and cleansing through the grace of God and His blessed plan of salvation (see 3 Nephi 9:20–22)” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1998, 77; or Ensign, May 1998, 56).”

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

The problem here is hopefully obvious. Man was born with a sin nature which negates Joe Smith’s teaching that kids are born perfect.

Having a sin nature, therefore, would mean we as mankind, are prone to sin – Jeremiah 17:9 states man’s heart is deceitful. Another good resource for our sin nature is found in Romans chapter seven where Paul tells the new believers that he struggles with wanting to do good, but he always falls short. He then praises God for His provision of salvation even in his dreaded predicament.

This passage in their teaching manual is one of the worst of the worst! According to their teachings, no one will ever find salvation. Shame on them.

Share with the Mormon you know how this BoM passage contradicts God’s word!
