December 19 — Mormon Distortion of Jesus. Mark 3:35 “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”

We see here the simplicity of Jesus’ words. If you love and obey Him, you’re His brother and sister. The LDS Church claims their heavenly Father and heavenly Mother spiritually created all of us (Jesus and Lucifer included) through a sexual union; thereby making everyone literal brothers and sisters.

“Thus it is shown that prior to the placing of man upon the earth, how long before we do not know, Christ and Satan, together with the hosts of the spirit-children of God, existed as intelligent individuals, possessing power and opportunity to choose the course they would pursue and the leaders whom they would follow and obey. In that great concourse of spirit-intelligences, the Father’s plan, whereby His children would be advanced to their second estate, was submitted and doubtless discussed. The opportunity so placed within the reach of the spirits who were to be privileged to take bodies upon the earth was so transcendently glorious that those heavenly multitudes burst forth into song and shouted for joy.” — James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, p. 8.
[…] Mormon Distortion of Jesus […]
Just another of the many weird doctrines not found in the Book of Mormon but made up long after.
LAM: How do you deal with someone who calls BS? That’s what I’m calling. How dare those ‘sainted’ mouthpieces insult, blaspheme, and alter the Word of God. 3 Peter 3:15-16 warns about this particular kind of evil.
Sorry it took so long to respond to your comment! The holidays have been a bit hectic!
In response to your question…
Like everyone else I’m sure, I’ve gone from being more than irritated to downright heartbroken over what they’ve done and the lies they continue to proclaim.
For me, this is one of the most egregious doctrines in Mormonism. If Jesus and Lucifer are brothers that would make their god someone who doesn’t care about them. This is one of the conversations I’ve been in w/ my mother and the door is slammed shut with no intention of opening the Bible to see what the Lord says.
Besides all that, Jesus said a house divided can’t stand so how do they explain this one? Oh what a tangled web they weave… Sigh…
