Journal of Discourses 19:271 “…Jesus was begotten by the power of God and not by a mortal in the flesh. And the New Testament tells us that 
God sent his angel to visit this beautiful Virgin Mary, and to make known unto her that she was chosen of the Lord to be the Mother of Jesus who should be the Savior of this people. And the messenger or the angel sent to her was designed to prepare her mind, her heart and her faith for this great work unto which the Lord had chosen her. And he said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, and therefore that Holy Thing that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” — Erastus Snow, Meeting House, Beaver City, Utah, March 3, 1878 [Note: p. 371 in link above is a misprint.] (more…)

BRIGHAM’S VIRGIN BIRTH BLASPHEMY
Posted in Virgin Mary, tagged birth of Jesus, Brigham Young, God had sex with Mary, Holy Ghost on 07/24/2018| 1 Comment »
Luke 1:34-35 “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 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.”
The excerpt below comes from the quarterly magazine, Dialogue, A Journal of Mormon Thought. Their articles reflect a side of Mormonism faithful members of the Church typically don’t read because it’s not ‘faith promoting’, and/or they simply don’t know about them.
I’m using the essay of David John Buerger for two reasons.
1.It’s a good example of how the Church retro-engineers their published articles.
2.It shows how the Church refuses to publish all sermons of their leaders, and holds onto them in their ‘archives collection’. Today’s example is case in point. (more…)
MORMON DISTORTION OF VIRGIN BIRTH
Posted in Virgin Mary, tagged false apostle, Jesus, Melvin J. Ballard, Mormon god had sex with daughter Mary on 07/21/2018| 2 Comments »
The Deseret News, Dec. 23, 1923 “Mary told the story most beautifully…Referring to the event, she said: “God hath done wonderful things unto me.” And the Holy Ghost came upon her, is the story, and she came into the presence of the highest. No man or woman can live in mortality and survive the presence of the Highest except by the sustaining power of the Holy Ghost. So it came upon her to prepare her for admittance into the divine presence, and the power of the Highest, who is the Father, was present, and overshadowed her, and that holy child that was born of her was called the Son of God…The power of creation…It is the most sacred and holy and divine function with which God has endowed man. Made holy, it is retained by the Father of us all, and in his exercise of that great and marvelous creative power and function he did not debase himself, nor debauch his daughter. Thus Christ became the literal Son of a divine Father, and no one else was worthy to be his father.” – Melvin J. Ballard (more…)
Mary- The Greatest Female Spirit
Posted in Virgin Mary, tagged Bruce McConkie, Mortal Messiah, veneration for Mary on 07/16/2018| Leave a Comment »
Mortal Messiah 1:326-327 “Can we speak too highly of her whom the Lord has blessed above all women? There was only one Christ, and there is only one Mary. Each was noble and great in preexistence, and each was foreordained to the ministry he or she performed. We cannot but think that the Father would choose the greatest female spirit to be the mother of His Son, even as he chose the male spirit unto him to be the Savior.” – Bruce R. McConkie (more…)
The Not-So Virgin Mary is Mom and Younger Sister to Mormon Jesus
Posted in Virgin Mary, tagged false apostle, Mary is Jesus' sister and mother, Orson Pratt, The Seer p 159, Virgin Mary married to God on 08/07/2016| Leave a Comment »
The Seer, p. 159 “But God having created all men and women, had the most perfect right to do with His own creation, according to His holy will and pleasure He had a lawful right to overshadow the Virgin Mary in the capacity of a husband, and beget a Son, although she was espoused to another for the law which he gave to govern men and women was not intended to govern Himself, or to prescribe rules for his own conduct. It was also lawful in Him, after having thus dealt with Mary, to give her to Joseph her espoused husband.” – Orson Pratt

Isaiah 9:6; “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.”
The verse we’re listing here today is an intro for an article you’ll see tomorrow! We’ve been exploring what the Mormon Church believes about Jesus Christ. Who is He, where He came from, and how Mormonism has degraded Him throughout their history.
In a book published in the early ’90’s, ‘How Wide the Divide’, an evangelical and a Mormon have a round-table discussion on basic Mormon beliefs.
