LDS Contradictions: BoM Says Law Doesn’t Save; Mormonism Says It Does
Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”.
Today we’re looking at simple comparisons of works, v. grace.
Our objective in doing so is for Christians to have the tools/resources to share the truth with a Mormon they might know.
If you’re LDS, we humbly ask you look over the evidence given, and ask yourself if God would really send so many conflicting messages to you. We promise beloved, this isn’t how the God of the Bible operates!
Please, pray for Mormons to know the difference, and for Jesus to intervene!
With Love in Christ;
Michelle

LDS Doctrines/BoM |
| 2 Nephi 2:5 “… by the law no flesh is justified…” | 2 Nephi 25:23 “…for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.” |
| 2 Nephi 2:7 “Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law…” | Articles of Faith 3 “We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.” |
| 2 Nephi 25:25 “…wherefore the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith…” | Doctrines of Salvation 1:134 “Through the atonement of Christ … individual [salvation] – that which man merits through his own acts through life and by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.” — Joseph Fielding Smith |
| 2 Nephi 25:27 “…we speak concerning the law that our children may know the deadness of the law…” | Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 27, No. 16, August 15, 1892, p. 515 “…redemption from personal sins can only be obtained through obedience to the requirement of the Gospel, and a life of good works.” |
| Mosiah 3:15 “…the law of Moses availeth nothing except it were through the atonement of his blood.” | The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 207 “…however powerful the saving grace of Christ, it brings exaltation to no man who does not comply with the works of the gospel.” — Spencer W. Kimball |
| Mosiah 13:28 “…were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish…” | The Mortal Messiah 4:434 “Jesus kept the commandments of his Father and thereby worked out his own salvation, and also set an example as to the way and the means whereby all men may be saved.” — Bruce McConkie |
| Alma 34:13-14 “…there should be a great and last sacrifice…then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled…every jot and tittle, and none shall have passed away…” | |
It’s not ‘after all we can do’. It’s All about what Christ did.
SWK…There is no such thing as ‘works of the gospel’.
Amazing and heartbreaking. The devil has more than a foothold. Praying for the lost for I know by my own experience, eyes can be opened.
PTL for that Sandra! 🙂
