December 11 — LDS Covenant v Biblical Covenant. Hebrews 7:22; “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”

In the mid ‘90’s the Mormon Church changed the title to the front of the Book of Mormon. They changed it to say; “Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ”.
Now the book of Galatians says that if anyone or an angel tells us of another gospel, we are to reject it. And the verse in Hebrews says we have a better testament; that being Jesus Christ.
The Greek word for testament is: diatheôkeô. It means covenant or contract. Why does the Church need a new covenant?
The answer of course is to take attention away from what God said in order to justify the lies Joseph Smith told. He tricked people into believing this new covenant is nothing less than polygamy, temple marriages, another baptism, as well as baptisms and marriages for the dead.
D&C 132:1-66 tells them they will become gods if they abide this new law and covenant. For the sake of brevity, we’re only including three of the verses.

Doctrine and Covenants 132:4, 37, 62 “For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory: 37 Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness. 62 And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.”

Genesis 15:6 says Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. Bait and switch is a nice way of saying Joseph was a despicable liar. To make himself equal with God……I shiver that he would teach that to the world. Oh Holy God, thank you for opening my eyes. You are alone the great I Am!
So many hymns flood my thoughts with what you said –
O Holy God –
The Great I AM –
Who am I,..
If only our people would know – and so we continue to pray He’ll open the eyes and hearts of those whom we love and keep the doors of communication open! Praise His Holy Name!
