February 28 — A Marvelous Work and a Wonder, p. 69 “The bringing forth of the Book of Mormon is a “marvellous work and a wonder”. The wise men and prudent men of the world cannot account for it in any other way than the story told by Joseph Smith, and he did not get it, neither could he have gotten it, by reading the Bible only. He received it by revelation from the Lord through the Angel Moroni.” — LeGrand Richards (more…)

February 10 — Enos 1:5-8 “And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed. 6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away. 7 And I said: Lord, how is it done? 8 And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.” — c. BC 421 (more…)

Why are Italicized KJV Verses in the BoM?
Posted in Book of Mormon, Mormon Dilemmas, tagged Book of Mormon Mosiah 14 & Isaiah 53, false gospel, italicized KJV translation on 09/06/2025| 1 Comment »
Another proof the Book of Mormon can’t be a translation from the Nephites who died off circa 421 AD is found in the KJV.
Italicized words in the King James Bible were added by translators for the reader. As languages are translated from one to the other, filler words are sometimes needed because idioms and word meanings don’t translate directly.
Psalm 18:3 is a good example to see how the italicized words help to clear up any confusion: (more…)
Book of Mormon Says It May or May Not Be True

Matthew 8:26 “And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.”
Not only does the Book of Mormon contain anachronistic problems along with its plagiarism issues, we also see contradictions within its own text. Sometimes the Book of Mormon will tell you it’s completely trustworthy and at other times, not so much.

Joseph Smith’s Martyrdom
Posted in Martyrdom of, tagged bible, Carthage, Christ, false gospel, false prophet, freedom, Jesus, joseph smith, martyrdom, mormonism, salvation, truth on 06/27/2025| 6 Comments »
Martyrdom: the act of extreme suffering; torment.
Martyr: a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion. One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause or principle.
The definitions of martyr and martyrdom above serve as the foundation of what we’re looking at today. The Mormon Church has emphatically defended their position that Joseph Smith fulfilled the requirements of martyrdom. I thought it’d behoove us to look at how people in history have become martyrs for the Lord and compare those with the case of Joseph Smith. (more…)

May 10 – Only God knows the future. Heb. 11:8, 13; “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went…These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”
Masonry and LDS Canon

Psalms 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
If you know anything at all about Mormonism, you know the Masonic Lodge is part of the deal. While most members believe Joe Smith used to be involved with it at some level, the majority are unaware of just how deeply entangled he had become before his death.
Moreover, most Mormons aren’t aware they can read Masonic rhetoric right inside the covers of their beloved canon. And because it also goes without saying you’ll be sure to find Smith’s contradictory ways in the Mormon canon and his behavior. (more…)

Mormon Doctrine, p. 234 “Moroni deposited the plates in the Hill Cumorah in about 421 A.D., and then as a resurrected being revealed the hiding place to the Prophet on September 22, 1823. Four years later the Prophet was permitted to obtain possession of them, but the actual translation of the portion we now have as the Book of Mormon did not take place until between April 7 and June 11, 1829. Thereafter the plates were returned to the custody of Moroni. (Jos. Smith 2:27-65; D. & C. 27:5; Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, pp. 215-226.” (more…)
