“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11
“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2
We’re also wondering why they don’t teach these kids what it says in 2 Peter 2:15 about studying to show yourself approved unto God?
All that aside, those bible verses weren’t part of this month’s lesson to little Mormon kids. Instead, they were fed a diet of lies encouraging them to pray to a nonexistent entity like Enos did in the BoM.
We could write books on just this one BoM character, but for the sake of time we’re asking a few questions about this that you might share with a Mormon you know.
First off, here’s what it said in the March edition of Friend –
Friend, ‘Enos Prayed,’ March 2020
“Enos was hunting in the forest. He started thinking about God.
He wanted to know God better. So he prayed. He heard God’s voice!
God said that because Enos had faith in Jesus, his sins were forgiven. Enos was happy. But he didn’t stop praying.”
1.Why does this sound like another version of Joe Smith’s life? It’s hard to believe it’s just a coincidence.
2.The book of Enos supposedly took place c. BC 420.
3.Why are they teaching kids this guy believed in Jesus before Jesus was even born? Here’s what it says in Enos 1:8 –
“And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.”
4.Joe Smith said there was no Greek, nor Latin, on the gold plates. Christ is a Greek word.
5.There’s no mention of being forgiven because of Jesus’ spilt blood which hadn’t happened yet. Neither is there anything resembling a required sacrifice to atone for sins to gain salvation.
6.The article went on telling kids to read the book of Enos. The problem? It’s filled with anachronisms. It talks about horses, cattle, and cimeters, which weren’t in existence in the Americas at the time.
We’re diligently praying you’ll be on your knees for Jesus to protect these little kids who are being fed the hellish lies. Also, pray for those who teach them to repent, and turn to Jesus!
With Love in Christ;
