November 10 — Book of Ether Reveals Smith is False Prophet. Ether 4:6-7 “For the Lord said unto me: They shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord. 7 And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did, that they may become sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are.” (more…)

May 28 — How was Jesus Baptized in 559 BC? Matthew 3:13-17 “Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (more…)

BC 559 – 545
2 Nephi 31:13-14 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel. 14 But, behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying: After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this should deny me, it would have been better for you that ye had not known me.”

Petroglyphs and Golden Plates
Posted in Book of Mormon, tagged archaeology, Book of Mormon, false gospel, golden plates, Mesa Verde, Nephites, Pueblo on 07/07/2023| 1 Comment »
‘Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.’ Jeremiah 14:14
The other day a television show my husband Kirk and I were watching reminded me yet again why Joseph Smith’s golden plates were anything but authentic.
The show had a group of guys out site seeing in the rugged canyons of Colorado, and at one point they stopped to check out a large outcropping of rocks well known for the Petroglyphs on one side of them.
After looking at the rudimentary display on the rocks of men, animals, and their hunting trips, one of the guys on the program jokingly offered his interpretation and said, ‘Yes, and I’ll have fries with that please’. It was nothing more than an offhanded comment, but it got me to thinking…
Similar Petroglyphs are found from one end of the American Continent to the other. If experts date these back roughly 1,500 years, one has to wonder why they didn’t have a better writing system like the Nephites enjoyed.
After all, the BoM people and the inhabitants we’re speaking of lived around the same era, so it stands to reason language skills should have been about the same, if not more advanced. Certainly, the petroglyphs we see on the side of rocks can’t be from the Nephites who spoke 17th century Jacobean English!
The dark truth about the Nephites can be found in Smith’s own words if one is up to a little homework. Not long after I left the Church I discovered the originator of these things was none other than Satan himself.
An example for this is listed in our series, Interesting facts of 3-in-1 Part 1. You’ll find that Smith’s identity of the angel Moroni has been cloaked in euphemisms and scattered throughout Mormon canon.
2nd Nephi tells us that Satan is an angel of light.
Smith’s testimony tells us Moroni visited him 3 times in one night before a cock crowed (think Matthew 26:33-35, 74-75 when Peter denied Jesus 3 times.
Intro of 1976 D&C and earlier versions, Smith tells us Moroni is an angel of light.
Now the reason for bringing Moroni into the conversation is important because Moroni’s the middle man. Without Moroni’s visits, there’s no story about the Nephite people.
Another clue the Nephites and their golden plates story can’t be trusted is from what we can’t see. There are no sites to dig, original writings to decipher, nothing. Conversely, we see hundreds, if not thousands of archaeological proofs existing throughout all of the Americas telling us stories about the people who lived here previously, what they ate, whom they worshiped, and their now extinct traditions. A great resource for this can be found at Jim O’Donnell’s blog; Top Ten Must See Archaeological Site in Colorado.
One of the most fascinating things to explore is known as the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park. (See image on left) They believe the palace was used by the Puebloan people between 600 – 1300 AD. I can’t help but think of Smith’s story in 2nd Nephi telling us they built a temple on the scale of Solomon’s Temple, yet not one shred of evidence, nor even a shard of pottery has been found. Yet this palace is filled with historical data we can see, touch, and smell. Where o where, are the Nephites’ remnants?
Please pray for LDS members to think about things like this and for Jesus to intervene!
With Love in Christ —

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Today we’re looking at claims the Book of Mormon makes about itself, and if you know anything about Mormonism, you probably have an opinion about it as well. Outside opinions can be helpful, but what does the book itself say about its own content?

Mormon 4:10-12 “And it came to pass that the three hundred and sixty and sixth year had passed away, and the Lamanites came
again upon the Nephites to battle; and yet the Nephites repented not of the evil they had done, but persisted in their wickedness continually. 11 And it is impossible for the tongue to describe, or for man to write a perfect description of the horrible scene of the blood and carnage which was among the people, both of the Nephites and of the Lamanites; and every heart was hardened, so that they delighted in the shedding of blood continually. 12 And there never had been so great wickedness among all the children of Lehi, nor even among all the house of Israel, according to the words of the Lord, as was among this people.”
2 Nephi 10:3 “Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ—for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name—should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him—for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.”

‘Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.’ Proverbs 29:18
Today we’re looking at one verse in the Book of Mormon, and comparing it with what God has told us in His word.

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
The importance of the travesty in this BoM verse shouldn’t go unnoticed for a few reasons. (more…)
