LDS: Jesus Sired by Exalted Man

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 09/24/2023| 1 Comment »

 Five Marks of the Divinity of Jesus Christ “The most fundamental doctrine of true Christianity is the divine birth of the child Jesus. It is a doctrine not comprehended by the world, misinterpreted by [many] Christian churches, and even misunderstood by some members of the true Church.

The paternity of Jesus Christ is one of the mysteries of godliness.

It may only be comprehended by the spiritually minded… … I am bold to say to you, … Jesus Christ is the Son of God in the most literal sense. The body in which He performed His mission in the flesh was sired by that same Holy Being we worship as God, our Eternal Father. He was not the son of Joseph, nor was He begotten by the Holy Ghost. He is the Son of the Eternal Father! … ” — Ezra Taft Benson, 9 December 1979. (more…)

Fulfilled Prophecies of Jesus’ Last 24 Hours 2023

Posted in Holy Week, Jesus, tagged , , , on 04/08/2023| 1 Comment »

 My discovery of the real Jesus afforded me the opportunity to instill new traditions in my life while discarding the old.

I have to say, however, one of the biggest was learning about Holy Week. Thirty years in Mormonism hadn’t revealed any significant details leading up to Resurrection Day; thus my fascination twenty-two years later. I was saved on Palm Sunday 1993.

Believers Are Brethren Through Atonement

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 08/30/2021| 1 Comment »

 Journal of Discourses 4:216 “I want to tell you, each and every one of you, that you are well acquainted with God our heavenly Father, or the great Eloheim. … there is not a soul of you but what has lived in His house and dwelt with Him year after year; and yet you are seeking to become acquainted with Him, when the fact is, you have merely forgotten what you did know. …

There is not a person here today but what is a son or a daughter of that Being. In the spirit world their spirits were first begotten and brought forth, and they lived there with their parents for ages before they came here. This, perhaps, is hard for many to believe, but it is the greatest nonsense in the world not to believe it. If you do not believe it, cease to call Him Father; and when you pray, pray to some other character.” — Brigham Young, Delivered in the Tabernacle, Great Salt Lake City, February 8, 1857. (more…)

Rejecting Fulfilled Prophecies

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 08/11/2021| Leave a Comment »

“Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” 1 John 2:23

 Today we’re looking at how the Church has gone out of its way to deny the real Jesus. One of the ways they’ve done this is by rejecting God’s promises.

Mormonism: Today’s Doubting Thomas

Ensign, Nov. 2007, p 40 “…our view of the Godhead breaks with post–New Testament Christian history…” – Jeffrey R. Holland

LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p. 7 “In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ.’ ‘No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.’” (more…)

MORMON JESUS NOT BEGOTTEN OF HOLY GHOST

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 12/24/2019| 3 Comments »

Doctrines of Salvation 1:18 “I believe firmly that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. He taught this doctrine to his disciples. He did not teach them that he was the Son of the Holy Ghost, but the Son of the Father. Truly, all things are done by the power of the Holy Ghost. It was through this power that Jesus was brought into this world, but not as the Son of the Holy Ghost, but the Son of God. Jesus is greater than the Holy Spirit, which is subject unto him, but his Father is greater than he! He has said it. Christ was begotten of God. He was not born without the aid of Man, and that Man was God!” — Joseph Fielding Smith (more…)

Spiritual Significance of the Three Gifts Given to Jesus 2019

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 12/14/2019| 2 Comments »

‘Have we seen Christ’s star? Let us study to give him honour.’ – Matthew Henry

Matthew 2:11 “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”

 Today we’re looking at a couple of things about the gifts the three men from the east presented to the Messiah. This is something I’ve always wanted to study, and with the latest Mormon publication of the Liahona, it got me moving now!

As you’ll recall, the Mormon prophet invited Mormon children to follow Jesus through the maze of a labyrinth. How that had anything to do with Jesus is still a mystery to us here at the ministry…in the meantime, we decided to get this on the site to provide the truth as a rebuttal to that horrific platitude Mr. Monson offered.

Lies Taught to Primary on Jesus’ Conception

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 11/07/2019| 2 Comments »

‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.’ John 1:1, 14

Come Follow Me, Primary New Testament 2019 “…explain that Jesus is called the Son of God because Heavenly Father is the father of both His spirit and His body.”

Luke 1:35 “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (more…)

LDS Confusing Contradictions of Only Begotten

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , , on 09/28/2019| 4 Comments »

‘For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.’ 1 Timothy 1:12

I finally made the break after spending 30 years in the Church, and accepted Jesus as my Savior and God in 1993. One of the main things that played a major part in making my decision was God’s word.

At my ‘Confirmation Ceremony’ at the age of eight, the bishopric literally patted me on the head, gave me a Bible, and told me to go home and read it.*

I thought they were serious, and did just what they said. Unbeknownst to me, I shouldn’t have taken them so seriously. During my very young impressionable years, God spoke to me through His word on several occasions. (more…)

Jesus Given Priesthood So He Could Be Savior

Posted in Jesus, tagged , , , on 08/27/2019| 2 Comments »

‘Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen.’ 1 Timothy 1:17

 

The Gospel Through the Ages 20 “As has been pointed out, at the great council in heaven, “when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy,” Jesus Christ was foreordained to be the Savior of the world. Thereupon the Eternal Father bestowed upon His Beloved Son His divine power (Priesthood), in order that Jesus might in a valid way perform the works of the Redeemer and Mediator of the everlasting covenant and in the fullest degree be the Christ, the Savior of humanity. God honored the Only Begotten Son by naming this power “the Holy Priesthood after the order of the Son of God”. — Milton R. Hunter, 1945 (more…)

Jesus of Mormonism v. Jesus of Christianity

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Originally posted 12.23.2017

As we approach Christmas Day, we believe it’s important for this ministry to loudly proclaim the whole reason for the season, as the saying goes! That said, over the next few days we’re looking at the basics of both Christianity, and Mormonism. Our topic:
