 December 17 — I often wonder what Mormons think of the passage of scripture in John when Nicodemus asked Jesus what he must do to be born again. While we’ve explored this issue in our Mormon Dilemmas section before, today I began wondering about another angle to this scenario.

If Jesus told Nicodemus he had to be born again then how are dead people born again?

John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (more…)

 November 13 — Studies of the Book of Mormon, p. 240 “Did Ethan Smith’s View of the Hebrews furnish structural material for Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon? It has been pointed out in these pages that there are many things in the former book that might well have suggested many major things in the other. Not a few things merely, one or two, or half dozen, but many; and it is this fact of many things of similarity and the cumulative force of them that make them so serious a menace to Joseph Smith’s story of the Book of Mormon’s origin.” – B.H. Roberts, Mormon Seventy and LDS Historian (more…)

September 14 — This photo came up in one of the Christian Facebook groups I follow today. Many thoughts came to my mind when I saw it, thoughts that I don’t want to share in this article. Now that I’ve had some time to think about it, one thing that comes to my mind is the song some of us learned from Sesame Street, “One of these things is not like the other”. (more…)

May 11 – Mormons Settled for a Lesser God. Heb. 7:24, 27-28; “But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.”

 November 17 — Joseph Smith Lied about Miracles at Calvary, pt. 2. There are many remarkable items to look at and study when it comes to the temple veil being ripped in two so let’s get right into it!

The first thing you’ll want to take note of is how many times this event was prophesied about in the OT. We’ve listed three of those above. They serve as proof of yet more miracles God has done for us. PTL! (more…)

 September 24 — Jesus isn’t Keystone to Mormonism. Ensign, “The Book of Mormon—Keystone of Our Religion’, Nov 1986, 4 “There are three great reasons why Latter-day Saints should make the study of the Book of Mormon a lifetime pursuit.

The first is that the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion. This was the Prophet Joseph Smith’s statement. He testified that “the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion” (Introduction to the Book of Mormon). A keystone is the central stone in an arch. It holds all the other stones in place, and if removed, the arch crumbles.” — Ezra Taft Benson (more…)
