February 16 — Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.373 “I want you to pay particular attention to what I am saying. Jesus said that the Father wrought precisely in the same way as His Father had done before Him. As the Father had done before? He laid down His life, and took it up the same as His Father had done before. He did as He was sent, to lay down His life and take it up again; and then was committed unto Him the keys. I know it is good reasoning.” — June 11, 1843 (more…)

The Angels and God’s Glory
John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.”
Circa BC 4
Herod the Great was living in Jericho when the magi paid him an unexpected visit asking where they could find the King of the Jews.
That visit was all it took to put Herod’s paranoia over the edge.
At the same time in Rome, Caesar Augustus was pretending he was the savior of the world. …
Meanwhile, the Messiah was given birth to in a little town called Bethlehem.
No fanfare from the locals, or national holidays called for. However, on the outskirts of town God summoned a miraculous event to take place on the hillsides of Judea that neither Herod, nor Caesar could reproduce if they tried. (more…)
Anna’s 84 Years of Temple Worship
Posted in Christmas, Holidays Celebrated by Mormons, tagged Anna the prophetess, Jesus, Luke 2:35-39, Simeon on 12/16/2025| 1 Comment »
Anna, the prophetess, is mentioned in the Bible three times and they’re all within the context of Jesus’ birth.
Luke 2:36-38 “And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.”
The tribe of Aser (or Asher) came from the line of Jacob, and was a son of Zilpah, the maidservant for Leah – Genesis 30:13. The Hebrew transliteration for Asher means ‘happy’.
The name of Anna’s father, Phanuel, when translated means, ‘face of God’. Whether his name was a play on words for his daughter’s future involvement as a prophetess, is left solely up to the reader, but it does make sense and goes along with the Lord’s M.O. (more…)

Joseph Smith’s Fulfilled Prophecy

October 28 — He got one right!!! It’s not very often I get to report on finding a prophecy of Joseph Smith that he got right, but today I found one. As I was researching quotes of Joseph Smith, I came across the prophecy he gave in Doctrines and Covenants.
D&C 3:4 “For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him.”
Joseph gave that prophecy in Harmony, Pennsylvania in July 1828. (more…)

Joseph Smith’s Martyrdom

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…)

Why I Can’t Leave the Church Alone
Posted in Ex-Mormons, tagged gospel, Jesus, Mormon Church on 06/17/2025| 2 Comments »
June 17 — I came across an article on the blog My Life by Gogo Goff titled “Why Ex-Mormons Can’t Leave The Church Alone”.
The article begins by talking about former Mormons online who have said how happy they are now that they’ve left the Church because now, they are “guilt-free”.
This may be true for some former members. Mormonism places many restrictions on its members. The dietary rules, along with the forbidden use of tobacco or alcohol can be difficult, especially for new converts to the Church. This along with the image they’re supposed to present as being squeaky clean can be hard for members to live up to. (more…)

September 6 — No Forgiveness for Thief on the Cross. Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 164 “Another mistaken idea is that the thief on the cross was forgiven of his sins when the dying Christ answered: “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43.) These men on the cross were thieves. How could the Lord forgive a malefactor? They had broken laws. There was no doubt of the guilt of the two men, for the one voluntarily confessed their guilt. The Lord cannot save men in their sins but only from their sins, and that only when they have shown true repentance.” (more…)
Are Jesus and Joseph Smith Both Saviors of Mankind?
Posted in August, Joseph Smith and Jesus Compared, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged baptism, false prophet Joseph Smith, first vision, Jesus, John the Baptist, joseph smith on 09/01/2024| 1 Comment »
Isaiah 40:25 “To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.”
In August 2016 I was searching around for info on a speech by Melvin J. Ballard, when I came upon a very interesting online publication called Mormonism Against Itself, written by a fellow by the name of Maurice Barnett.
The book was a compilation of dozens of Mormon documents that are now out of print, or hard to find. One of the items I read in Mr. Barnett’s compilation was a handout for a ward teacher’s lesson from 1922. While I am fully aware this sounds mundane, when you glance over this, one will discover how the Church knew no bounds when trying to pull the wool over the eyes of its followers. And surprisingly (or maybe not), they’re still banking on the same doctrines they did way back when.
They obviously felt no shame when referring to Joseph Smith as a redeemer, nor did they bother with publishing biblically sound materials. The content for their comparison of Jesus and Joseph was so outlandish, I’m still left without words to describe how awful it is!
Apostasy?…Not Exactly

August 30 — Apostasy?…Not Exactly. Answers to Gospel Questions 2:45 “…the Lord, of necessity, has kept authorized servants on the earth bearing the priesthood from the days of Adam to the present time; in fact, there has never been a moment from the beginning that there were not men on the earth holding the Holy Priesthood. (Moses 5:59.)
Even in the days of apostasy, and apostasy has occurred several times, the Lord never surrendered this earth and permitted Satan to have complete control. Even when the great apostasy occurred following the death of the Savior’s apostles, our Father in heaven held control and had duly authorized servants on the earth to direct his work and to check, to some extent at least, the ravages and corruption of the evil powers. These servants were not permitted to organize the Church nor to officiate in the ordinances of the gospel, but they did check the advances of evil as far as the Lord deemed it necessary.” – Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr. (more…)
Reverence for Joseph Smith Required

August 13 — Reverence for Joseph Smith Required. “A Choice Seer,” Ensign, Aug. 1986 “Ages ago in the Great Council, Jesus was the prepared but meek Volunteer. As the Father described the plan of salvation and the need for a Savior, it was Jesus who stepped forward and said humbly but courageously, ‘Here am I, send me.’ (Abr. 3:27; see also Moses 4:2.) Never has anyone offered to do so much for so many with so few words!
“It is through the Prophet Joseph Smith, whom the resurrected Jesus called, that we learn these things and so much more about Jesus–long before Bethlehem and well beyond Calvary.
“Whenever we speak of the Prophet Joseph Smith, therefore, it should be in reverent appreciation of the Lord who called him and whom Joseph served so well.” – Neal A. Maxwell (more…)
