April 14 – Self-imposed busyness. Luke 10:38-39, 42; “Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Isaiah 5:20-21; “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!”
For the next couple of days we’re taking a look at a few of the summaries for the talks given at the General Conference from this past weekend April 2-3, 2016. As is always the case, there were no revelations from the Church. One would think this might happen on occasion since they’re pretty resolute on the theory they must have prophets to reveal new things from their god.
Each of the three talks we looked at here are nothing short of deplorable, thus limiting ourselves to just a few of them here. I still haven’t decided which one is worse…

Swearing Allegiance to False Memories
General Conference, ‘Remembering in Whom We Have Trusted,’ October 2015; “Before we came to this earth, we participated as spirit sons and daughters of God in a grand council.2 Each of us was paying attention, and none of us fell asleep. In that council our Father in Heaven presented a plan. Because the plan preserved our agency and required that we learn from our own experience and not just from His, He knew we would commit sin. He also knew that sin would cause us to become unclean and unable to return to His presence…
Why Does the Book of Mormon Contradict Mormonism?

Today we’re looking at three key doctrines of Mormonism listed in LDS canon. Our question is this:
Why does the Book of Mormon, which is supposedly the most correct book on the face of the earth, contradict LDS doctrines?
Polygamy and Mormon Church Leaders Brigham Henry (BH) Roberts
Posted in Polygamy & Mormon Church Leaders, tagged BH Roberts, false teachers of Mormonism, LDS Church Historian, polygamy on 09/12/2015| Leave a Comment »
Articles of Faith 1:12 “We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.”
The reference above is part of the Church’s official statement of faith, however, from the onset of Mormonism until the early nineteenth century, it was either overlooked, or purposefully ignored. One of those who knew better was none other than our subject matter today; Brigham Henry Roberts.
BH Roberts was the official church historian for a number of years, and authored the heavily relied upon History of the Church of Latter-day Saints, used by everyone who knows Mormonism. Roberts was also the author of 23 other books in his lifetime, with each being heavy on the historical aspects of Mormonism, as well as the theological side of it.
Hyrum Smith: Beware of Too Much Faith

Conference Report, April 1844, p. 302; “A certain good sister came to my house and she was troubled because she heard so many big things. She
thought it weakened her faith. I told her she had too much faith. She believed too much. I will tell you how you may know whether the thing is true or not. When any one comes to you with a lie, you feel troubled. God will trouble you, and will not approbate you in such belief. You had better get some antidote to get rid of it. Humble yourself before God, and ask Him for His Spirit and pray to Him to judge it for you. It is better not to have so much faith, than to have so much as to believe all the lies.”
Restoration or Imitation?
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged false teachers of Mormonism, Imitation of Christianity, Mormon leaders denounce Bible, Restoration of Christianity on 06/21/2015| Leave a Comment »
The Mormon Church has made no secret of their belief they’re a restoration of biblical Christianity. But are they? Let’s take a look at some of the claims, historical truth and what their leaders think about Christianity.
“We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc.”
If Mormonism is a restoration of the original church based on the Bible, why do they denounce the Bible?
Your Own Forever Kolob

Conference Report, April 1910, Afternoon Session, p. 92; “You can all do something. You owe it to your God. Some day we have got to give an account for every idle word spoken, and for all our acts upon the earth. We must do our share in preaching this Gospel of Jesus Christ, because we know it is true… 
…if you want a portion of this earth and the fulness thereof, you will have it by being true to your covenants, this will be your future inheritance—this earth and the fulness thereof will sometime be given to the Saints of the most high God, and they will possess it forever and forever. If you keep the faith, eternal heaven will be this globe from which your bodies were made, and it will be your Kolob forever and forever.
May God bless this work; may God bless the prophets, seers, and revelators who rule over it. May we always love them, and let the world know that we do love them, and not be ashamed of it. I would rather take the counsel and advice of President Joseph F. Smith than that of any man on this earth; and if some people don’t like it, they can lump it. (Laughter.) Amen.” – Elder Ben E. Rich
Mormon Leader’s Doubts and Questions about the Church

Ensign, ‘Doctrinal Certainties,’ March 2015; “I can live with some human imperfections, even among prophets of God—that is to be expected in mortal beings. I can live with some alleged scientific findings contrary to
the Book of Mormon; time will correct those. And I can live with some seeming historical anomalies; they are minor in the total landscape of truth. But I cannot live without the doctrinal truths and ordinances restored by Joseph Smith, I cannot live without the priesthood of God to bless my family, and I cannot live without knowing my wife and children are sealed to me for eternity. That is the choice we face—a few unanswered questions on one hand versus a host of doctrinal certainties and the power of God on the other.” – Tad R. Callister, Sunday School general president, “What Is the Blueprint of Christ’s Church?” (CES devotional, Jan. 12, 2014), cesdevotionals.lds.org.

Church Handbook of Instructions, Vol. I, p. 78; “Bishops and their counselors must take exceptional care when issuing recommends to members whose parents or other close relatives belong to or sympathize with apostate groups. Such members must demonstrate clearly that they repudiate these apostate religious teachings before they may be issued a recommend.”
Safety in the Church vs. Safety in Jesus

General Conference, April 2015, “Yes, We Can and Will Win!”; “We cannot allow ourselves to be confused by popular messages that are easily accepted by the world and that contradict
the doctrine and true principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of these worldly messages represent nothing more than an attempt of our society to justify sin. …All of us can receive the strength to choose the right if we seek the Lord and place all our trust and faith in Him. …
… Because of the wave of confusion and doubts spreading throughout the world today, we must hold ever more tightly to our testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then will our ability to defend truth and justice greatly increase. We will win the daily battles against evil, and, rather than fall on the battlefields of life, we will rally others to the Master’s standards.
Choosing God Over Traditions

General Conference, April 2015, “Choose to Believe”; “The decision to believe is the most important choice we ever make. It shapes all of our other decisions. …Belief and testimony
and faith are not passive principles. They do not just happen to us. Belief is something we choose—we hope for it, we work for it, and we sacrifice for it. We will not accidentally come to believe in the Savior and His gospel any more than we will accidentally pray or pay tithing. We actively choose to believe, just like we choose to keep other commandments. …” – Elder L. Whitney Clayton, Presidency of the Seventy
The Great Plan of Happiness

General Conference, April 2015, “The Eternal Perspective of the Gospel”; “The Father’s desire is to give everyone the opportunity to receive a fulness of joy. Latter-day revelations 
show that our Heavenly Father created a great plan of happiness for all His children, a very special plan so that we can return to live with Him. …
… Understanding the plan will help people keep the commandments, make better decisions, and have the right motivation…The eternal perspective of the gospel leads us to understand the place that we occupy in God’s plan, to accept difficulties and progress through them, to make decisions, and to center our lives on our divine potential…” – Elder Rafael E.

Alpheus Cutler Intro
February 29, 1784 – June 10, 1864
“It is no exaggeration to say that Cutler, next to the apostles, was one of Mormonism’s most important leaders during this period.” – Journal of Mormon History, “Conflict in the Camps of Israel,” DANNY L. JORGENSEN, p. 31
Lies, pseudonyms, excuses, and denials. All these things comprise the M.O. of Alpheus Cutler and those he surrounded himself with in life. It seems no one had a working conscience available and the longer they lived, the worse things became.
We’re highlighting Alpheus Cutler because of the role he played in early Mormonism. As you’ll see in our short bio, the quote above is a fit description of this man. While his name isn’t in the headlines of Mormon folklore today it can be safely said that without his participation in early Mormonism, they wouldn’t be where they are today.

Let our eternal destiny drive all of our decisions. Regardless of how difficult those decisions may be, Father will sustain us. …
Fathers, … every day you are teaching your children what it means to be a father. You are laying a foundation for the next generation. Your sons will learn how to be husbands and fathers by observing the way you fulfill these roles. …

We gathered a few quotes from the General Conference the LDS Church held this past weekend and wanted to share what we thought were the most newsworthy with you!
Later this week I’ll be publishing an article on an e-mail I received from a dear Christian friend who actually watched the Saturday morning session. She wrote to give me her insights on the main points she picked out. I highly value the insight of those who’ve never been Mormon and like to include their biblical wisdom with Mormons to provide a different perspective.

Mormon-owned Marriott against anti-gay-marriage law? Hardly a surprise
“JANUARY 29, 2013
The Times describes Marriott’s 2012 interview with Business Insider in which the hotel titan said that “he personally believed that marriage was between a man and a woman” but does not impose his religious views on the business…“Our church is very much opposed to alcohol and we’re probably one of the biggest sales engines of liquor in the United States. I don’t drink. We serve a lot of liquor.
