February 22 – Romans 1:19-20; “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse”.

God’s word tells us everyone knows God. The problem with man is sin. They don’t want to accept Him, or admit they’ve violated His Laws. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us He has put eternity in our hearts, but alas, we’ve rejected that as well. Instead of appreciating what He’s done, we believe God needs our help. An example of that is Mormonism’s flagrant blasphemy of ancestor worship and research. Also see (Romans 1:21-23). Ask a Mormon why they have to baptize dead people when God has said it’s unnecessary.

General Conference, ‘Our Personal Ministries,’ October 2014; “Our service and personal ministry are not limited to the living on this earth. We can also do work for the dead—for those who live in the spirit world and who, during their mortal life, did not have the opportunity to receive the saving ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can also keep a journal and write our family histories to turn the hearts of the living toward the living—as well as the hearts of the living toward their ancestors. It is all about linking our family, generation by generation, in eternal bonds. As we do so, we become “saviours … on mount Zion.”” – Hugo E. Martinez
