Today’s post is a little different than our usual fare. I read a post on a favored Facebook page, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring attention to what this said. PLEASE, visit Mormon & LDS Facts FB page! You’ll be blessed by all their hard work in showing numerous resources of how the Church operates. (more…)

LDS First Presidency Message Filled with Lies of Conceit
Posted in First Presidency Message, tagged Allways Remember Him, February 2018, Henry Eyring on 02/11/2018| Leave a Comment »
Reading what Oswald Chambers had to say about communion with God, compared to what the LDS Church had to say is striking.
Today we’re looking at Oswald Chambers’ devotion for January 7th, followed by a few of the comments from the First Presidency Message of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When you have time, be sure to share this with the Mormon you know!

LDS Church Published Christmas Message They don’t Believe
Posted in First Presidency Message, tagged Christmas 2017, false prophets, Isaiah 9:6 on 12/09/2017| 1 Comment »
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas season, our hope is that the light and testimony of the Savior’s divine mission as the Redeemer of all mankind will come into our hearts and be reflected in our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
May each of us be blessed at this joyous season of the year as we acknowledge with sincere gratitude the Father’s incomparable gift to us of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Master.
Thomas S. Monson
Henry B. Eyring

First Presidency Message, ‘Called to the Work,’ July 2017 “President John Taylor (1808–87) summed up the essential qualities of missionaries this way: ‘The kind of men [and women and couples] we want as bearers of this gospel message are men who have faith in God; men who have faith in their religion; men who honor their priesthood; men in whom … God has confidence. ….’
Now, a word for those elders, sisters, and couples who, for whatever reason, may not be able to finish their assigned time in the mission field: The Lord loves you. He appreciates your sacrifice. He is aware of your disappointment. Know that He still has a work for you to do. Don’t let Satan tell you otherwise. Don’t get down; don’t become discouraged; don’t despair.
… don’t lose your faith, because the Lord has not lost faith in you. Keep your covenants and move forward.”
First Presidency Message Calls for Obedience to a False Jesus
Posted in First Presidency Message, tagged 1st Presidency Message January 2017, Dieter Uchtdorf, two greatest commandments on 01/18/2017| Leave a Comment »
Matthew 22:36-40 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE, ‘Aiming at the Center,’ January 2017
The focus of the Church’s latest First Presidency Message was to remind members they should love others using the passage in Matthew 22:36-40. We’re not concerned so much with the theme, as many Christian pastors will have the same type of sermons. Rather, our interest lies in Dieter Uchtdorf’s definition for ‘a child of God’.
First Presidency Message Doesn’t Point to Peace At All
Posted in First Presidency Message, tagged December 2016, Henry Eyring, sacrament on 12/27/2016| Leave a Comment »
John 1:11 “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”
FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE, ‘Peace in This Life,’ December 2016
A cursory glance over the latest ‘First Presidency Message’ would cause anyone to be heartbroken.
The theme this time around was about partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
The image on the left was the central focal point, where they tried selling the story about ‘a promise of personal peace’ that’s available ‘for all of His disciples today’.
The LDS apostle, Henry Eyring, also included oft repeated stories of people receiving this peace even while dying, and how it was made available through ‘priesthood blessings’.
I was left wondering how someone’s story of receiving a ‘priesthood blessing’ would be of benefit to my mother over the holidays. With no disrespect, I have to say, my mother isn’t dying. This devotional message was more about the priesthood of man, than about the eternal priesthood of Jesus!
Staying True to the False Gods of Your Fathers

2 Chronicles 20:7; “Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?”
Ensign, FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE, ‘True to the Faith of Our Forefathers,’ July 2016; “To be a Latter-day Saint is to be a pioneer…they often must leave behind old habits, longtime customs, and cherished friends. Some make the agonizing decision to leave behind family members who oppose their Church membership. Latter-day Saints move forward, however, praying that precious ones will yet understand and accept. …
As we seek to build Zion in our hearts, in our homes, in our communities, and in our countries, may we remember the resolute courage and abiding faith of those who gave their all that we might enjoy the blessings of the restored gospel, with its hope and promise through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
President Monson tells a story about one pioneer family and then quotes President George Albert Smith: “Will you live true to the faith of your ancestors? … Strive to be worthy of all the sacrifices [they] have made for you.”” – Thomas Monson

Proverbs 20:7; “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.”
After reading some of the messages produced by the Church, there are times I have to shake my head and wonder why. Why do they tell the lies they do, and why don’t members call the leaders out on the lies…?
Today we’re looking at the latest First Presidency Message, ‘Prophecy and Personal Revelation,’ April 2016.
You can read the entire message in full at the link above. Upon a cursory glance in this month’s message, one will notice at least three problems straightaway.
LDS Easter Message Filled with Empty Titles for Jesus

When I came upon the Church’s Easter message, I had to shake my head at the number of inconsistencies they plastered on their website. Today we’re taking a look at what they tried to tell people about Jesus. And for Easter Holy Week of all times…good grief! We’ll be listing each name title they used and define them in a proper manner so there won’t be any confusion!
First Presidency Easter Message, March 17, 2016; “Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the Messiah of the New Testament. He died and was resurrected, and He lives in glory with our Eternal Father.

Messages of the First Presidency 4:249-250, October 15, 1911; “The temples are not open to the public. They are for the performance of sacred ordinances, having in view the salvation of the living and the dead. The principal ceremonies are baptisms, endowments, marriages, sealings and adoptions… … The family is the foundation of eternal glory, the nucleus of a kingdom without end. The husband will have his wife, the wife her husband, parents their children, forever, provided they secure them in the manner prescribed…
Polygamy Lies of the LDS First Presidency
Posted in First Presidency Message, tagged false doctrines of Mormonism, false prophets, polygamy, polygamy in the UK, polygamy lies of the First Presidency on 03/09/2016| 2 Comments »
Today we’re looking at the never ending lies about polygamy published by the LDS Church. They just can’t seem to be honest when it comes to this topic! The lies about polygamy began with Joe Smith way back in 1834, and as you’ll see today, Hyrum Smith’s son is doing the exact same thing 80 years later. As they say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…
This first presidency message was written by Joseph F. Smith, and appeared in the Deseret News, and the London Times May 1st & May 6th, 1911.

LDS First Presidency Message ‘Learn of Me,’ March 2016
As I read over this month’s first presidency message, it was easy to see how the Church has gone out of its way to hide the truth.
President Monson gave several pointers to members of the Church of how they could learn about Jesus, but honestly, not one single thing he mentioned spoke about the core Mormon doctrines they hold near and dear to their hearts.

FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE, ‘Finish with Your Torch Still Lit,’ October 2015;
“… …The Light That Never Dies
Sometimes after stumbling, failing, or even giving up, we get discouraged and believe our light has gone out and our race is lost. But I testify that the Light of Christ cannot be extinguished. It shines in the darkest night and will relight our hearts if only we incline our hearts to Him (see 1 Kings 8:58).
No matter how often or how far we fall, theLight of Christ ever burns brightly. And even in the deepest night, if we but step toward Him, His light will consume the shadows and reignite our souls…
For the torch is not about us or about what we do.
It is about the Savior of the world.
And that is a Light that can never be dimmed. It is a Light that swallows the darkness, heals our wounds, and blazes even in the midst of the deepest sorrow and unfathomable darkness.
It is a Light that surpasses understanding.
May each of us finish the path we have begun. And with the help of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, we will finish joyfully and with our torches still lit.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Today I read with sorrow the July issue of the First Presidency Message on the LDS website. My first thought when I read the phrase ‘all is well’, was a warning from God in the book of Jeremiah.

First Presidency Message, “Testimony and Conversion,” February 2015; “We need a change in our hearts, as described in the book of Alma: “And they did all declare unto the people the selfsame thing—that their hearts had been changed; that they had no more desire to do evil” (Alma 19:33; see also Mosiah 5:2).
The Lord taught us that when we are truly converted to His gospel, our hearts will be turned from selfish concerns and turned toward service to lift others as they move upward to eternal life. To obtain that conversion, we can pray and work in faith to become the new creature made possible by the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” – Henry Eyring, First Counselor in the Presidency
