February 26 – Was Joseph Smith Related to Jesus? “Neither give heed to fables or endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.” 1 Tim. 1:4.

Why is Temple Work Done for People in Celestial Kingdom?
Posted in Baptisms for the Dead, tagged D&C 137:7, false prophet Joseph Smith, temple works on 02/07/2021| 1 Comment »
D&C 137:7 “Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God”.
Today we’re wondering why temple work is done for those who are already in the Celestial Kingdom? (more…)
Moroni Taught Joseph Smith 10 Lies, pt. 2
Posted in Liahona, tagged ‘What Did Moroni Teach Joseph Smith?’, false prophet Joseph Smith, January 2021, Liahona, necromancy on 01/10/2021| Leave a Comment »
‘For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.’ Matthew 24:24.
Today is part 2 of our look at an article in the latest church magazine, Liahona, ‘What Did Moroni Teach Joseph Smith?’, January 2021.
Yesterday we looked at five lies, some of which included witchcraft, necromancy, and Joseph’s ill-gotten fame.
Today we’ll see how neither Moroni, nor Joseph, opted for defending the Lord. Moroni did nothing more than feed a teenager’s inflated ego. Based on the Church’s track record, one must wonder if this even happened at all.
If you’re LDS, we want to reiterate we don’t say these things to demean or bash you. Our hearts are broken for the way this church has lied, and led members away from Jesus, not to Him.
We pray you’ll look at the evidence and compare all of it objectively – your very soul depends on it!
As Paul Harvey used to say…now for the rest of this story!

Why Mormons Can’t Celebrate Good Friday
Originally posted March 2013
I’m certain I’m not alone when I say that Good Friday always gives us lots to think upon and pray about! Each of us has our own list of reasons why we’re grateful God intervened in our life, and we each carry our own set of memories why this day is special for us.
One of the most memorable experiences for me dates back to my days in Junior High School of all things. At the time I had become friends with a handful of other girls and as it turned out I was the only Mormon. My small group of friends included a Catholic, a Presbyterian, an Episcopalian, and a Methodist. I began noticing my Catholic friend only ate fish on Fridays and while all the girls had their own set of doctrinal creeds they held dear, their customs afforded me a front row seat to other cultures right there in the heart of Utah Mormonism. I began wondering what it’d be like to attend a church that had a cross somewhere on the building.

Joseph Smith Used Magic to Translate Book of Mormon

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”. Ephesians 4:14
The April 2020 Liahona carried an enlightening article on how Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.
It seems as if they threw caution to the wind, but held fast to the claim it was done through the ‘power of God’.
