The LDS Church will do anything to discredit the Lord in any way they can. They don’t care if what they publish isn’t true. Their main concern is hoping that whatever they say will stick in the minds of those who have the misfortune of reading their lies.
The Bible verses above reveal the behavior the apostles portrayed. If/when the apostles had disagreements they prayed together and worked it out.
Were they perfect?
Absolutely not.
These men of God followed the Lord Jesus to their deaths because they trusted and believed Him which is something the Church has never done. They don’t trust the Lord enough to open His word and find out what happened. (Acts 15:36-41 tells of a strong disagreement between Paul and Barnabus and in 2 Timothy 4:11 we see how things worked out.)
Below are three resources to retrieve info on how/why the apostles died.
Foxe’s Book of Martyrs by John Foxe through Archive.org
The Search for the Twelve Apostles through Archive.org
Please pray they’ll read the Bible and start a conversation about this topic with a Mormon today!
