March 9 – Romans 5:19 “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous”.

We have been born into sin (John 9:34) and have need for a Savior who can cleanse us from ourselves! Mormons do not believe they have been born under the sin of Adam, (2nd Article of Faith: “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression”.). They say that man has their own free will to sin or not, yet their own scripture would deny this claim.

2 Nephi 2:21 “…for he showed unto all men that they were lost, because of the transgression of their parents”.
Mormonism is very confusing, even for long time members. I have listened to discussions in High Priest Quorum about the meaning of certain doctrine or whether or not certain doctrine even exists. The Mormon belief that God and Jesus are two separate beings is disputed in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormons states very clearly that Jesus was God in the Flesh and that God came to the world to sacrifice himself for the sins of mankind. Read :Alma 11:38,39; 2 Nephi 10:3; 2 Nephi 11:7; 2 Nephi 6:9; Mosiah 7:27; Mosiah 13:34; Ether 3:14 and Helaman 8:23. I brought this fact up in HPQ meeting one Sunday and most of the brothers present did not know that these scriptures
so clearly testified to something contrary to what they have been taught.
