We Can’t Have It Both Ways!
Posted in July, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged Bruce McConkie, false gods, false prophecies of Mormonism, No Salvation in Worshiping False Gods on 07/22/2019| 5 Comments »
July 22 – We Can’t Have It Both Ways! Deut. 18:22; “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him”.
Pre-1990 Blood Atonement Temple Oaths
Posted in Temple Ceremonies, tagged blood covenant oaths, false gods, idolatry, LDS temples on 07/16/2019| 5 Comments »
“Brethren and sisters, you are about to be put under covenant to obey and keep the law of sacrifice, as contained in the Old and New Testaments. …as Jesus Christ has laid down his life for the redemption of mankind, so we should covenant to sacrifice all that we possess, even our own lives if necessary… All arise. … Each of you bring your right arm to the square. …” — LDS Temple Endowment Ceremony, the Garden
The quote above is from a scene in the temple endowment ceremony. You can find it in the link provided above. It’s a haunting reminder of what’s wrong in Mormon temples, especially when you consider that Jesus gave His life for us.
‘In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins…’ Colossians 1:14
We love hearing from our readers – so our post today is in response to a request from one of them. Yay! Specifically, he asked if we could post info concerning the pre-1990’s temple endowment ceremonies containing blood atonement oaths. He frequently shares the info we publish with Mormons he knows, and this topic is one he’s been discussing as of late. (more…)

Lectures on Faith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1985], 5:2, pp. 48-49 “And he 
being the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, and having overcome, received a fullness of the glory of the Father, possessing the same mind with the Father, which mind is the Holy Spirit, that bears record of the Father and the Son, and these three are one; or, in other words, these three constitute the great, matchless, governing and supreme, power over all things; by whom all things were created and made that were created and made, and these three constitute the Godhead, and are one; the Father and the Son possessing the same mind, the same wisdom, glory, power, and fullness—filling all in all…” — Joseph Smith, 1834 – 35 (more…)
Tip of the Day January 15 — Ashtoreth
Posted in January, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged Ashtoreth, false gods, idolatry, Mormon doctrine, mother in heaven on 01/15/2019| 2 Comments »
January 15 — Ashtoreth. Today ask the Mormon in your life for their opinion about their Heavenly Mother. Then ask if they’ve ever heard of Ashtoreth. Be sure you explain with demonstrative evidence (Bible and a dictionary) who this false goddess was, and why Israel was always in trouble for worshiping her. Without being judgmental towards them, ask if they see the correlation between their Heavenly Mother and Ashtoreth. To get a clear idea of who the Mormons believe she is, see our article ‘Heavenly Mother’. (more…)
Joseph Smith’s Family of Gods
Posted in False Prophecies of Joseph Smith, tagged false gods, false prophets, joseph smith, polytheism, Russell Nelson on 11/21/2018| Leave a Comment »
Yesterday we saw Russell Nelson proclaim his delight in Joe Smith’s insights regarding the Bible, and how they were ‘amazingly consistent’.
Today we’re wondering how Mr. Nelson would explain Smith’s false prophecy in calling God a liar…
The very foundation of Mormonism declares God’s word to be wrong, and therefore, all of Christianity has been worshiping the wrong God.
History of the Church 6:305-306 “It is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how he came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.
These are incomprehensible ideas to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did….
Here, then, is eternal life—to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one; from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power.” — Joseph Smith, April 1844 (more…)

The wholesale rejection of Jesus who is God. Zechariah 11:12-13d; “And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.”
John 12:45; “And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.”
Visiting Teaching Message – December 2017
Posted in Visiting Teaching, tagged Bearing One Another's Burdens, false christ, false gods, Visiting Teaching Message December 2017 on 12/03/2017| Leave a Comment »
The title for this month’s Visiting Teaching Message is Willing to Bear One Another’s Burdens.
It starts off by quoting Thomas S. Monson, who said “We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us.” The
‘we’ Monson is referring to here are the members of the Mormon Church.
The message also quotes Henry B. Eyring, “A great change began in your heart when you came into the Church. You made a covenant, and you received a promise that began changing your very nature. …
“… You promised that you would help the Lord make [others’] burdens light and be comforted. You were given the power to help lighten those loads when you received the gift of the Holy Ghost”

Life of Joseph the Prophet, p. 514; “It has been my intention for a long time,” he said, “to take up this subject and lay it clearly before the people, and show what my faith is in relation to this interesting matter. And if it rains I will preach this doctrine, for the truth shall be preached. I will preach the plurality of Gods. I have selected this text for that express purpose. I wish to declare, I have always and in all congregations, when I have preached on the subject of Deity, proclaimed the plurality of Gods.” – Edward W. Tullidge
Occult Symbols in Mormonism Sold as Christmas Ornaments

1 Corinthians 8:6 “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
The verse above can be used by every Christian as a proclamation of who, and what they believe. It stands out as a stark reminder of what a few Mormon leaders have stated when explaining the Jesus they worship isn’t the Jesus of traditional Christianity. In other words, they believe there’s more than one Jesus defying what Paul told the young church in Corinth.
Paul’s words stood out to me when Melissa wrote an article a few years back, ‘Moroni for Your Christmas Tree’. Today we’re adding to her article by showing some of the items we’ve noticed that are for sale through Mormon-owned businesses. The items caught our attention simply because they were advertised as ornaments for the Christmas tree.

Isaiah 61:10; “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”

Today we’ll be covering questions 9 and 10 of our ongoing series based on the article, ‘51 questions that might lead you to Mormonism’.
Why does Paul say that there are lots of gods? (1 Cor 8:5)
In respect to the Word, and reading it in context, I’d like to extend this portion of scripture to verse 6.
1 Corinthians 8:5-6 “For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
