August 2 – Mormons Don’t Worship the Real Jesus. Matthew 2:2 “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him”.

There are websites and libraries filled with countless articles and books Mormons have produced in their attempt to answer the question: ‘Do you worship Jesus Christ?’
Even their apostle Russell Ballard gave a 1 minute explanation you can watch on Youtube where he explains the name of their church has Jesus’ name in it, they pray in Jesus’ name, close their services in prayer in Jesus’ name, serve communion in Jesus’ name, and on, and on it goes.
However, the answer to the question remains unanswered. Or does it? Their silence is pregnant with denial. Mormons do not worship the One and Only Incarnate God, Jesus Christ. Ask the Mormon why they want to be called Christians if they won’t worship Jesus Christ.
Also ask why the BoM says Nephi worshiped Jesus, and the Bible says people worshiped Jesus. Why don’t Mormons worship Jesus?

“No the traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. (LDS Church Newsweek June 20, 1998 p.7)
Matthew 7:22
“Many will say to me (Jesus) in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I process unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It’s important to get this 100% right. The Bible has many warnings about false Christs, and false teachers with false Gospels. The wrong Jesus cannot save you.
Amen to that! It was surprising for me when I left the Church to find out the instructions about false prophets/apostles were also meant for those of us today, Sigh…
