September 24 – Exodus 28:30; “And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.”

salt lake mormon temple 2The following false teaching of the LDS Church is riddled with half truths, precocious lies and sufficient evidence to show heresy. 

We’re taking a close look at the first half of this First Presidency Message to show Christians how what they’ve said doesn’t line up with the word of God.  Let’s get started shall we? 

“STATEMENT OF THE FIRST PRESIDENCY
REGARDING GOD’S LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND
February 15, 1978

Take notice of the date because it’s going to prove they’re false teachers and lied about what they believe.

Based upon ancient and modern revelation, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gladly teaches and declares the Christian doctrine that all men and women are brothers and sisters, not only by blood relationship from common mortal progenitors but as literal spirit children of an Eternal Father.

salt lake mormon temple 2Mormon Doctrine, pg 410; “President Joseph F. Smith said: “What is a key?’ It is the right or privilege which belongs to and comes with the priesthood to have communication with God. Is not that a key? Most decidedly. We may not enjoy the blessings, or key, very much, but the key is in the priesthood. It is the right to enjoy the blessing of communication with the heavens, and the privilege and authority to administer in the ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ…You who hold the priesthood have the key or the authority, the right, the power or privilege to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ…” (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed., p. 142.)”

Blessings of Exaltation

Gospel PrinciplesGospel Principles, pg 277; “What are some blessings that will be given to those who are exalted? Our Heavenly Father is perfect, and He glories in the fact that it is possible for His children to become like Him. His work and glory is “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

Those who receive exaltation in the celestial kingdom through faith in Jesus Christ will receive special blessings. The Lord has promised, “All things are theirs” (D&C 76:59). These are some of the blessings given to exalted people:

1. They will live eternally in the presence of Heavenly Father and

Jesus Christ (see D&C 76:62).

2. They will become gods (see D&C 132:20–23).

3. They will be united eternally with their righteous family members and will be able to have eternal increase.

4. They will receive a fulness of joy.

5. They will have everything that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have—all power, glory, dominion, and knowledge (see D&C 132:19–20).

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote: “The Father has promised through the Son that all that he has shall be given to those who are obedient to His commandments. They shall increase in knowledge, wisdom, and power, going from grace to grace, until the fulness of the perfect day shall burst upon them.”

Grace is a Lie

Miracle of Forgiveness, pg 206; “One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God; that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation. Along with all the other works necessary for man’s exaltation in the kingdom of God this could rule out the need for repentance. It could give license for sin and, since it does not require man to work out his salvation, could accept instead lip service, death-bed “repentance,” and shallow, meaningless confession of sin.” – Spencer W. Kimball

Angels and Men

Journal of Discourses 9:103; “All the difference between men and angels is, men are passing through the day of trial that angels have already passed through. They belong to the same family that we do; but they have proven themselves worthy only of an exaltation to the state of angels, whereas we have the privilege of obtaining not only the same exaltation they enjoy, but of going further until we become Gods, even the sons of God.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, January 5, 1860

Godhood Means Salvation

Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 153; “Each command we obey sends us another rung up the ladder to perfected manhood and toward godhood; and every law disobeyed is a sliding toward the bottom where man merges into the brute world.”

 

 

 

Every single thing a Mormon does in his/her life is because they feel they’re working their way to becoming a god or goddess someday. Without this achievement there is no true salvation for the Mormon. Sadly they don’t trust anything from the Bible unless their inspired leaders have given them the okay to believe little passages here and there. And they typically don’t trust information from any outsiders.

Imagine isolating yourself and then believing that if you’re not perfect you keep sliding down to hell. 

Living a righteous life is admirable, but living righteously apart from God and believing you’re going to heaven is fooling yourself.

Polytheism

The Seer, pg 23; “The Gods who dwell in heaven…were once in a fallen state…they were exalted also, from fallen men to celestial Gods.” – Orson Pratt

1 Corinthians 2:14; “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

It makes ya wonder about the imaginations of the teachers who come up with these wild tales. If they spent half the time studying the Bible as they did making this stuff up it would’ve made for a great organization!

Jesus the Son of Adam

Journal of Leonard John Nuttal, vol.1, p.18-21; “Prest Young was filled with the spirit of God & revelation & said…Father Adam’s oldest son (Jesus the Savior) who is the heir of the family is Father Adam’s first begotten in the spirit world.” – John Nuttal, Wednesday Feb. 7, 1877

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible resembling this heresy. 

Whenever a Mormon tells me they’re a Christian and don’t understand why people won’t accept them I think of teachings like this one and wonder why they’re offended. It’s so far removed from what the Bible teaches and doesn’t resemble Jesus at all.

Hell isn’t Always Eternal

Encyclopedia of Mormonism, pg 586; “A third meaning of “hell” (second spiritual death) refers to the realm of the devil and his angels, including those known as sons of perdition (2 Pet. 2:4; D&C 29:38; 88:113; Rev. 20:14). It is a place for those who cannot be cleansed by the Atonement because they committed the unforgivable and unpardonable sin (1 Ne. 15:35; D&C 76:30-49). Only this hell continues to operate after the Resurrection and Judgment.”

Hell doesn’t Exist

Joseph Smith-Seeker After Truth, p.177-178; “The meanest sinner will find some place in the heavenly realm…In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there is no Hell. All will find a measure of salvation.” – John A Widtsoe

Salvation through Works

Third Article of Faith; “We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel”

They apparently have a different interpretation for the word atonement. Pray that Jesus opens the mind of one Mormon today and wonder why this teaching contradicts itself.

Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles provided additional information on this subject during his October 2012 general conference address.

Book of Mormon Brings Belief in God

“A Book with a Promise,” Ensign, May 2008, 105; “As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have the benefit and blessing of living scripture as declared by those sustained as prophets, as well as canonized scripture found in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. . . . Written scripture, especially the Book of Mormon, brings us to believe in God and ‘be reconciled unto him through the atonement of Christ, his Only Begotten Son’ (Jacob 4:11).” – Craig C. Christensen
