Joseph Smith: BoM Indians are Israel’s Descendants

Posted in Book of Mormon, tagged , , , on 03/18/2026| 1 Comment »

March 18 — Discourses of Joseph Smith, p. 243 “What the Book of Mormon Is.

The Book of Mormon is a record of the forefathers of our western tribes of Indians; having been found through the ministration of an holy angel, and translated into our own language by the gift and power of God, after having been hid up in the earth for the last fourteen hundred years, containing the word of God which was delivered unto them.

By it we learn that our western tribes of Indians are descendants from that Joseph who was sold into Egypt, [Gen. 45:4] and that the land of America is a promised land unto them, and unto it all the tribes of Israel will come, with as many of the Gentiles as shall comply with the requisitions of the new covenant. (HC 1:315*.)” — Joseph Smith, January 4, 1833

 February 13 — Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 316 “If a child or relative of mine forsakes the Gospel, the holy Priesthood, his God, and the Kingdom of God, farewell to that child or relative, whether near or distant.

I love them, I delight in their society, no matter whether they are poor or rich, learned or unlearned, if they observe the laws of the Kingdom of God and live according to it.” — January 19, 1862 (more…)

The Devil is Co-Eternal, Equal with God

Posted in January, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/07/2026| 1 Comment »

 January 7 — Essential Brigham Young, “When I Contemplate the Subject of Salvation”, A Sermon Delivered on 12 February, 1854, p 84 “When I was young, a Methodist priest whom no person would fellowship because he taught so many new things in his preaching, made a remark that I believe is true. Says he, “Evil is inverted good.” Now for Methodists to talk such things was indeed strange; they did not know that the Devil is as eternal as God, and coequal with Him in this respect. Evil is inverted good. If you receive the Priesthood, and make an evil use of it, it will make devils of you.” (more…)

Dallin Oaks Installed as 18th LDS Prophet

Posted in false prophets, General Conference October 2025, tagged , on 10/16/2025| 1 Comment »

 October 16 — A couple of days ago we looked at two things Dallin Oaks said during his tenure as an LDS apostle.

Yesterday we all woke up to the news that he is now the 18th Prophet/President of the LDS Church.

It seems odd that someone would be called a prophet/president of a church. I’ve searched but haven’t found anything in the Bible that remotely suggests such a thing. (more…)

LDS Church Doctrine Centers on Family

Posted in General Conference October 2025, tagged , , on 10/11/2025| 1 Comment »

October 11 — Today we have a few questions about the talk given by Mr. Dallin Oaks at this last GC.

1.Why is the Church’s doctrine center on the family and not Jesus?

2.Why was Oaks so quick to announce there wouldn’t be any new temples? We have to wonder what was going on behind the scene… See President Oaks: ‘We will not announce any new temples at this conference’. (more…)

How Should We Think

Posted in Mormonism vs. Christianity, tagged , , on 10/02/2025| 4 Comments »

 October 2 — Today I watched a video of a Christian podcaster who wore a t-shirt that said, “Think Biblically.” It made me think of Russel M. Nelson’s famous quote, “Think Celestial.”  What does it really mean, and how does it contrast with the other quote I mentioned to “Think Biblically”? (more…)

Nelson Writes Song for LDS Hymnal

Posted in LDS Hymns, tagged , , on 09/24/2025| 1 Comment »

 September 24 — The Mormons have added a new song to their hymnal by President Russel M. Nelson. In his song, he praises their god, using KJV English repeatedly. I may never understand why Mormons choose to speak like this in their prayers or songs. I guess they believe it makes them sound holy and reverent.

In his song, he refers to Jesus as an “Exemplar”, then goes on to call him the “atoning son”, “who gave Himself as sacred ransom”. I wrote something not long ago when Elder Quentin L. Cook referred to him as our exemplar.

During my research for this article, I discovered a Relief Society Visiting Teaching Message titled “The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Exemplar.” If they mean to say Jesus is their example, why don’t they just say that? (more…)

LDS Declares Bible Prophesies of Joseph Smith

Posted in False Prophecies of the Mormon Church, tagged , , , on 08/31/2025| 3 Comments »

August 31 – Ensign, ‘Prophecies in the Bible about Joseph Smith,’ January 1989; ““If a person thinks the name of Joseph Smith ought to be found in the Bible spelled out in so many letters, he will search in vain.” (Answers to Gospel Questions, 3:6.) That is true; the Prophet Joseph’s name is not found—at least not in the King James Version. Nevertheless, if we search the scriptures with an eye of faith, we will discover that the Lord truly did foretell the coming of his great latter-day prophet, Joseph Smith.” – George A. Horton, Jr. (1927-2011) (more…)

Joseph Smith’s Martyrdom

Posted in Martyrdom of, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , 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…)
