Oh Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, Mitt…

During the debate in Iowa tonight (December 10, 2011) Mr. Romney told the audience and all of America that he served as a pastor for his church.

My how quickly the tide turns in the world of changing vocabulary with the Mormons.

Mitt Romney has NEVER and I do mean NEVER been a pastor in his church.  There are NO PASTORS IN MORMONISM.

Bishop, yes, pastor no.

Nice try Mitt.  Throwing out Christian terminology in the Midwest looks good, but lying looks worse than just telling the plain ol’ truth.

Why can’t you just tell the truth?

Jesus Christ Son of God After the Manner of the Flesh…

Today I’m wondering how the Mormon Church can believe Mary was still a virgin when Jesus was born if they believe the following about the whole born of a virgin scenario…

The following list of teachings from the LDS Church tells the real truth about the belief system in Mormonism.  When the Mormons say He is Jesus Christ the Son of God after the manner of the flesh, this is what they’re referring to.

The De-canonization of Mormon Scripture

Yesterday I read a blog at the Ogden Standard Examiner and one of their subjects caught my immediate attention.  They called it “Decanonization has occurred in Mormon scriptures”.

Humble Following or Misguided Trust?

The lengths to which members of the LDS Church will go never ceases to amaze me when defending the position they take about Joseph Smith.  I could write volumes upon volumes of books containing testimonials of how wonderful Mr. Smith is and if it weren’t for Mr. Smith then no one could be saved.

The Twelve Apostles

Right now I’m watching a sermon by John MacArthur on the 12 apostles (link below). As I watch it I can’t help but think about the Mormon 12 and how completely different these two groups of men are. Jesus’ 12 were taught at his feet and then were sent out by him to proclaim salvation is only through Him. They went out to share the gospel with nothing, they healed people, anointed the sick, and cast out demons. They did what Jesus did, they had all the power Jesus did over these things.  2 Corinthians 12:12 reads “The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles. “

The Mormon 12 are called by their prophet, they preach a false gospel of works, receive the rock star treatment when they travel and haven’t healed anyone. Where are their signs, wonders and miracles?

Mormon Testimonies

While compiling some testimonies of ex-Mormons for our site it occurred to me how much the testimony of Mormons and ex-Mormons are so vastly different.  While we’ve written about this many times one significant thing came shining forth about the differences.

Romney and Huntsman Glaringly Absent in Iowa Family Leader Forum

Where were Mitt Romney and/or Jon Hunstman yesterday and why weren’t they at the Christian church in Iowa with all the other Republican candidates?

Ironically enough the name of the conference was “Family Leader Forum”.  Mormons are all about families, right?

I have to wonder…did they not go because it was held inside a Christian church or was it because they might be asked about their faith?  When I was a Mormon (for 30 yrs no less) it was drilled into me not to step foot in a Christian church or bookstore.

Baptisms for the Dead

Moroni 10:26 says there is no salvation for those who die in their sins.  Why baptize for the dead?

Godhood

Why is the earth given to the righteous for an inheritance if the goal is to become a god with your own planet?  (D&C 45:58)

And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.

Who holds the keys to the priesthood in the LDS Church?

The Mormon Apostle Bruce McConkie had this to say about the keys of Mormon priesthood;

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.)” – Mormon Doctrine, pg. 410

Garden of Eden

How could the Garden of Eden be in Missouri when the Pearl of Great Price declares it was in the vicinity of Assyria with the Euphrates and Hiddekel Rivers running through it?

Book of Mormon and the Fullness of the Gospel

If the Book of Mormon contains the fullness of the Gospel as it says in D&C 27:5 & 135:3, then why doesn’t it teach the following LDS teachings?  Keep in mind these are only a handful of examples.

Adam and Eve Had No Blood

http://scriptures.lds.org/bd/f/2 ; Before the fall, Adam and Eve had physical bodies but no blood. There was no sin, no death, and no children among any of the earthly creations. With the eating of the “forbidden fruit,” Adam and Eve became mortal, sin entered, blood formed in their bodies, and death became a part of life. Adam became the “first flesh” upon the earth (Moses 3: 7), meaning that he and Eve were the first to become mortal. After Adam fell, the whole creation fell and became mortal. Adam’s fall brought both physical and spiritual death into the world upon all mankind (Hel. 14: 16-17).” – Bible Dictionary of the LDS Church

Moroni a Symbol of the Gospel

Gordon B. Hinckley, Heroes from the Book of Mormon, pg. 195; From my window I frequently look at the figure of Moroni on the tallest tower of the Salt Lake Temple. He has been there since 6 April 1892…When the capstone was placed, thousands of voices joined in shouting, “Hosanna to God and the Lamb.” Later that day the statue was placed on top of the capstone.

     Today, strangers who see him wonder who he is…Others are simply puzzled…But he is no puzzle to us. He is a symbol of the restoration of the gospel in this the dispensation of the fulness of times…Of all the characters who walk the pages of the Book of Mormon, none stands a greater hero, save Jesus only, than does Moroni, son of Mormon.

Does God Need Man to Sin?

One of Mormonism’s biggest lies is taught in the second book of Nephi.  It is here you will find the damnable heresy that the fall of man was a necessary step in the life of mankind.

Thought of the Day about Mormonism…and Masonry

I was wondering today about the Masonic emblems on the Mormon temples.  If the Church doesn’t want its members to associate with secret organizations, why are the temples riddled with the satanic markings of Masonry?
