‘And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.’ John 17:3
Their website is an encyclopedic work filled with images, and quotes from a variety of sources. While the majority are LDS, you’ll also find quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr., and C.S. Lewis. The Church’s fascination with Lewis has always puzzled me, but that’s for another day…
What caught my attention was a row of five images; each depicting a different topic. The images for baptism, and beauty were rather benign. The other three; balance, baptisms for the dead, and becoming like God, reflects true Mormonism instead of the cookie-cutter visual most people have about this church.
The image of stacked rocks representing their ‘balance’ category, should serve as an immediate red flag of New Age Philosophy! The god of Yoga is Brahmin, and there’s no getting around that fact, nor is there any reason for Christians to approve of it. In their ‘balance’ category with the stacked rocks, there are a couple of things to take note of.
A wall made of stacked stones is a cairn. It’s built as a type of boundary between two properties.
Stacked stones are also used as navigational tools in hiking trails, and used extensively on the eastern seaboard. You can also find them in pyramid type forms, marking the entrance of State, and/or National Parks.
The stacked stones found on the LDS website is a form of Yoga. Here’s how it’s defined on Wanderlust.com —
“As a spiritual symbol the stone or the rock represents that which is eternal or truth itself. And in some traditions the stones are considered to be individual spirits, or—as in Jewish mystical traditions—silent beings. Even in yoga, stones and rocks are not without consciousness. …
Stone Balancing as Yoga
In recent years, piling stones has become something of a spiritual practice in itself. Some people create towers of smooth pebbles in nature, each representing a prayer or thought of gratitude as a meditation on the divine.”
Christians should denounce this, and warn others about its dangers! It’s sad those in the Church don’t see the spiritual idolatry, and how the Church allows it to carry on. Here’s what the Lord said in Leviticus 26:1 —
‘Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.’
Share this info with the Mormons, and Christians you know, and using demonstrative evidence from God’s word, explain why it’s part of idol worship!
With Love in Christ;
