October 19 – LDS: Joseph Smith Brought Salvation to Mankind. Acts 4:10-12 “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

There are countless verses throughout the Bible where it says God is the only way to salvation.
Luke was very specific with what he shared with his readers and left no room for speculation. Share this passage of scripture with the Mormons you know!
If Smith brought salvation where does Jesus fit in?
In the next few days we’ll be looking at how LDS leaders recently claimed the BoM and Jesus are the only way to salvation.

“I testify to you that this same Jesus appeared to the Nephites and Lamanites upon this continent as recorded in the Book of Mormon. I testify to you that the restoration of His Church was brought about through that humble, yet stalwart young man, Joseph Smith, and that only through His Church and through Him can full salvation come.” Elder Elray L. Christiansen, March 24, 1964, BYU Speeches of the Year, p. 9.
Holy Cow! Sometimes I forget how far Satan can go. The ‘stalwart young man’ who took other men’s wives for himself is the only way to full savation? Such blasphemy is utterly tragic and a lie.
I don’t think they took that into consideration. 🙁
