October 31 — What goes through your mind when you see this picture and read its accompanying quote?

“Our ancestors need us as we need them. There are many yet waiting to be found and taken to the temple for their sacred linking ordinances to be fulfilled.” Beki Tobiasson

 October 30 — D&C 42:6 “And ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God.” – February 9, 1831 (more…)

 October 27 — Today we’re using short quotes from two GC talks.

1.The first one comes from a talk by Elder Gary E. Stevenson: ‘Blessed Are the Peacemakers’. This man told people that in order to be true peacemakers they should temper anything they say online or otherwise with love. Long story short treat others as a child of God. (more…)

 September 11 — The Church News is celebrating Quentin L. Cook’s 85th birthday by highlighting some of his memorable quotes from the past year. Here is one that caught my attention.

“He is our Exemplar — our Advocate with the Father — and He accomplished everything necessary for us to return to the Father’s and the Son’s presence. We would be wise to follow Jesus Christ and receive the gifts that He has provided.”

 June 18 — Discourses of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 28 “…Notwithstanding my weaknesses, I am under the necessity of bearing the infirmities of others, who when they get into difficulty, hang on to me tenaciously to get them out, and wish me to cover their faults. (HC 5:516.)” (more…)

November 11 —4 Lies the Mormon Church Tell about Israel. When I left Mormonism, I had little to no knowledge about the kingdom of Israel’s history. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I knew Israel was in the Middle East and that was about the sum of it.

Making matters worse, what I thought I did know was wrong. All of it; i.e. Jesus being born in Jerusalem v. Bethlehem (Alma 7:10). (more…)

‘Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

 October 24 — Conference Quotes: Follow the Prophet, pt.1. Today we’re looking at three comments made by leaders of the Church. Each of the speakers reminded people to obey and follow the prophet. What is probably most telling was how their talks told people to return.

Tomorrow we’re looking at two other talks that mimicked those seen today.

 April 6 — Jesus’ Church Did NOT Begin with Joseph Smith. Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (more…)

 Bruce R. McConkie, Letter written by Bruce McConkie to Mr. Eugene England dated February 19, 1981 “I do not know all of the providences of the Lord, but I do know that he permits false doctrine to be taught in and out of the Church and that such teaching is part of the sifting process of mortality.” (more…)

 December 30 – LDS: No Prophets Means No Salvation. Psalm 31:13 “For I have heard the slander of many: Fear was on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.”

 September 26 – The Greatest Commandment Is To… Matthew 22:36-40 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

 General Conference, ‘A Living Prophet for the Latter Days,’ April 2023 “The doctrine and principles that we must follow to survive spiritually and endure physically are found in the words of a living prophet.

…prophetic teachings do not become more valuable with age. That is why we should not seek to use the words of past prophets to dismiss the teachings of living prophets. … Our seemingly small deviations, quiet neglect, or whispered criticisms in response to prophetic counsel may result in our only walking dangerously near the edge of the covenant path.” — Allen D. Haynie (more…)

‘Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.’ Colossians 2:8

 Today we’re looking at a topic we’ve discussed before — yoga.

The reason we’re discussing this again is because of what I found on the LDS Youth homepage. See LDS Youth Theme 2023 for more info.

In their utter contempt for the Lord and His word the Church decided to use Philippians 4:13 as a segue to introduce the theme for 2023 along with an image of stacking stones used in Yoga.

Their tactics are a brazen exposition of how they pretend to be a spiritually safe place for kids. Shame on them! (more…)

‘Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’ Acts 4:12

 ChurchNews.com “One simple way to get to know someone is by learning their name. … “Jesus wants for us to know Him because His is the only name under heaven whereby we can be saved. … My earnest desire is that you will come to know Jesus Christ by His many names and that you will become like Him as you exemplify His divine attributes in your life.”” Jonathan Schmitt (more…)

 General Conference, ‘For God So Loved Us’, April 2022  “God sent Jesus Christ because He loves His children and designed a plan for each of them to return home to Him. This plan is personal and was set forth by a loving Heavenly Father, “who knows our hearts, our names and what He needs us to do.” …

Heavenly Father’s personalized plan includes helping others return to Him because “that is how we become like Jesus Christ.” —  Michael T. Ringwood (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Is the Plan Working?’, April 2022 “All of us face boisterous winds that can shake our faith and cause us to sink. When we struggle—for any reason—that does not mean the plan isn’t working. That is when we need the plan the most!

In those moments, follow the example of Peter. Turn to the Savior right away.

“Now is the time and the day of your salvation. … Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.”8

Humble yourself before the Lord… Peter had shown faith, both in walking on the water and in reaching out to the Savior when he needed help. Even so, the Savior saw in Peter the potential for so much more. “O thou of little faith,” He said, “wherefore didst thou doubt?”10 (more…)

The three talk summaries we’re looking at today are enough to show the fallacies in LDS theology. Pray for those who watched this conference, and bought into the lies! You can read the Church’s PDF which is where we originally retrieved them, and/or see their talks in the links we provided below.

One thing is certain. The Church continues to point inward to avoid pointing to Jesus.

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2

The September issue of Liahona included the September issue of the kid’s magazine, Friend.

In that portion, the Church wanted kids to count the number of times the word ‘fowl’, appears in the first chapter of Genesis.

Their article should give everyone pause, and for a few reasons! (more…)

The Spirit of Elijah, by Definition, Is the Holy Ghost as His Directing Influence Guides Those Who Participate in Family History and Temple Work [2.6] ““The Spirit of Elijah” is a manifestation of the Holy Ghost. [2.6.1] Latter-day Saints often talk about “the Spirit of Elijah.” This phrase refers to the workings of the Holy Ghost upon individuals that creates an excitement and desire “to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers” (D&C 110:15) and to be involved in the work of family history. Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained: “What is sometimes called the Spirit of Elijah [is] a manifestation of the Holy Ghost bearing witness of the divine nature of the family. Hence, people throughout the world, regardless of religious affiliation, are gathering records of deceased relatives at an ever-increasing rate” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1998, 43; or Ensign, May 1998, 34).”
