December 13 — Prizing Joseph as Your God. Zechariah 11:10-11b “And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 … and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.”
John 14:7 “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”

The Messiah should be their God…Only God can decide if He’s going to remove protection from His children and break a covenant He’s made with them.
We already know from scripture He’d never break a covenant with us. Judges 2:1
“…I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.”
We can refuse Him, but that’s not breaking a covenant. He’s the One that saves, not us. According to Heber Kimball and other leaders of Mormonism, this isn’t the case. They teach that you will accept Joseph Smith and Brigham Young as gods and if you don’t then salvation isn’t yours.

Journal of Discourses 5:88 “You call us fools: but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a God, and also upon Brigham Young, our Governor in the Territory of Deseret.” – Heber C. Kimball, Salt Lake City, July 26, 1857

Although Kimball made this statement 167 years ago the Church still claims salvation comes only through the means of what the prophet says.
Ask the Mormon you know if they believe salvation comes through the Church or through a covenant with Christ Jesus and Him crucified.

Oh my goodness. They dont even know they are so lost, putting their faith in Joseph not Jesus. God help the Mormons and all that are spiritually blinded. 🙏 prayers 🙏
It’s heartbreaking to put it mildly. They have no clue what they believe let alone what He must think.
