April 18 – 1 Timothy 6:3-4; “If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing.”

Nepotism in the Mormon Church
Posted in Nepotism in Mormonism, tagged apostles of Mormonism, false prophets, false teachers on 01/13/2016| 4 Comments »
It’s been said that looking at pictures of the General Authorities in Mormonism is like looking at family reunion photos – not your family mind you, but of a family you probably don’t belong to. As time has waned on over the years, not much has changed in the Church’s selection of who’s next to fill the shoes of those in charge.
It’s a well known fact that if you’re not born in the family of the hierarchy, it’s a fat chance you’ll be called to serve the Mormon heavenly father in an upper echelon of servants. Be that as it may, we looked at the newest members in the coveted apostle position to see what, if anything, had changed…
Long story short – not much.

January 3 – Matthew 24:4-5, 23-24; “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 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.”
Polygamy in Utah

From the inception of Mormonism itself there’s been controversy. Joe Smith’s unconventional lifestyle was laden with numerous events the majority of people either never thought of before, or outright shunned.
Ignoring or shunning Smith always brought the same reaction; outrage. If you weren’t supportive of his antics, you were labeled a heretic, or an ‘anti’. Fast forward two hundred years, and the story is pretty much the same, with the exception of one thing. Many church members are now backing off the list of excuses for early Utah polygamy because of historical evidence. (more…)
‘Self-Appointed Spokesmen’ Scoff at Mormonism
Posted in False Prophecies of the Mormon Church, tagged Boyd K. Packer, Ensign November 1984, false apostle, false teachers, Mormonism is a cult on 11/17/2015| Leave a Comment »
“I desire to share a few thoughts about a basic doctrine of the Church. What I say is
based on these convictions:
First: instruction vital to our salvation is not hidden…
Second: every verse, whether oft-quoted or obscure, must be measured against other verses…
Next: there is a consistency in what the Lord says and what He does…
Fourth: not all that God has said is in the Bible…
Four Mormon Lies about Israel’s Kingdoms
Posted in false teachers, tagged Ephraim, false teachers, Israel's Kingdom, Monte Nyman, Words of the Twelve Prophets on 11/11/2015| Leave a Comment »
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).
So today we’re having a little history lesson to clear things up. As you’re well aware, Mormonism teaches one thing, and the Bible another. We’re taking a quick look at what a couple of well respected Mormons have taught in the book they wrote we’ve mentioned below to compare it with God’s word!
General Conference at a Glance October 2015

Today’s post is on the summary of what Mormons can expect to hear at General Conference this weekend, October 3-4, 2015.
Somehow their insights still surprise me, even though I know they shouldn’t. The leader of their primary conference talked about the so-called divine nature everyone is endowed with, and with no apologies she compares this divinity within mankind with God’s love. Yikes!
Seeking Signs of Truth is a True Sign of Trouble

Ah, the ever popular Moroni 10:4 verse Mormon missionaries like to use with promising converts… While the intro for this may seem light-hearted, the subject matter is anything but.
By and large Christians are a trusting group, and many times too much so. Taking people at face value, and thinking the best of others, too often Christians miss the tell-tale signs of danger lurking at the door. A few days ago we looked at the dangers of angels of light and our focus today is what they do to the flock.
Mormon Leader’s Statements not Always Doctrine
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged D. Todd Christofferson, false apostles of Mormonism, false doctrines of Mormonism, false teachers, General Conference April 2012 on 08/22/2015| Leave a Comment »
General Conference, , “The Doctrine of Christ“, April 2012; “…it should be remembered that not every statement made by a Church leader,
past or present, necessarily constitutes doctrine. It is commonly understood in the Church that a statement made by one leader on a single occasion often represents a personal, though well-considered, opinion, not meant to be official or binding for the whole Church.”
Apostle D. Todd Christofferson

I read an article on the Wheat & Tares’ website that so intrigued me I thought I’d share it for our daily post today. Woo-hoo!
The Wheat & Tares’ site is pro-Mormon that provides the latest info on the Church, including controversies. Although I don’t agree with their ideologies, I like perusing it to see what’s going on in the world of Mormonism.
Whited Sepulchres in Mormon Practices

The Mormon Hierarchy: Extensions of Power; “Mar 3, 1953 – First Presidency secretary answers Mormon’s inquiry about receiving blood
transfusions from African Americans: “The LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City has a blood bank which does not contain any colored blood.” This represents five year effort to keep LDS Hospital’s blood bank separate from American Red Cross system in order “to protect the purity of the blood streams of the people of this Church” (Counselor J. Reuben Clark’s phrase.)” – D. Michael Quinn

LDS Church News, June 5, 2015, ‘Covenants Connects Us to Heaven’
Today’s dilemma is about a speech delivered by BYU President Kevin Worthen and we’re wondering…
Are covenants the means by which we’re connected to God as the LDS Church stated last week, or is it ordinances? Oh, and what about Jesus? Does He play any part?
BYU President Kevin Worthen gave a speech at the Marriott Center BYU Women’s Conference earlier in the month that was published by Deseret News on June 5, 2015.
Stupor of Thought

Our dilemma today is an e-mail that came in via our other
website and our reply to the Mormon gentleman who wrote it. His comment was made in response to a quote he saw on the site and obviously disagreed with. You can read the exchange below and on our site as well.
In all things we want to glorify the Lord. My heart goes to Jesus first, even if it must be at the expense of disagreeing with someone else’s interpretation of scripture. Personally, it kills me that Mormons are lied to and believe the outlandish whims of their leaders. How I wish I could erase all of Mormon theology like writing on a chalkboard and replace it with His word…
Is Mormon Culture Becoming More Mainstream?

As I look at the different videos on YouTube by members of the Mormon Church, I find myself wondering how far are they willing to go be seen as “one of the guys (or gals)”? I’ve seen link after link of different parodies of songs members of the Church have made to promote something about their religion.
A new thing they seem to be into is taking popular songs and making it “their own”. Below are just a few examples of this:

Gospel Doctrine, Chapter 25, p. 480; “THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH. Brother Woodruff, in the course of his remarks, made the assertion that Joseph Smith was the greatest prophet that has ever lived, of whom we have any knowledge, save and except Jesus Christ himself…Today there is not another man, perhaps, who has figured in religion, whose name is so wide-spread among the nations, as that of Joseph Smith.” – Joseph F. Smith

Apostates in Mormon Church

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p 89-90; “Not only are there apostates within our midst, but there are also apostate doctrines that are sometimes taught in our classes and from our pulpits and that appear in our publications. And these apostate precepts of men cause our people to stumble. As the Book of Mormon, speaking of our day, states: ‘They have all gone astray save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ; nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err because they are taught by the precepts of men’ (2 Nephi 28:14).” — Ezra Taft Benson
