Mormon Dilemma 882 Procreation God’s Most Important Power
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged bible, David Bednar, Ensign May 2013, false doctrines of Mormonism, Jesus, LDS apostle, procreation most important power on 03/14/2014| Leave a Comment »
Ensign, “We Believe in Being Chaste”, May 2013; “The first commandment … God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife” (Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 129).
Today is the 2nd part of our look at the article in Ensign that we touched upon yesterday. There are a few topics I feel are important to point out and ask that you use them as witnessing tools for your Mormon friends and loved ones!
Mormon Dilemma 880 Apostates Become Eunuchs
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged bible, blood atonement, Brigham Young, false prophet, Jesus, violence in Mormonism, Wilford Woodruff's Diary on 03/12/2014| 2 Comments »
Wilford Woodruff’s Diary, June 2, 1857, vol. 5 pp 54-55*; “June 2, 1857: I spent the day in the office. President Young called in the afternoon also George A. Smith. We conversed upon various subjects…Bishop Blackburn was present—the subject came up of some persons leaving Provo who had apostatized. Some thought that Bishop Blackburn and President Snow were to blame. Brother Joseph Young presented the thing to President Young. But when the circumstances were told, President Brigham Young sustained the brethren who presided at Provo. He said they had done (right). The subject of eunuchs came up and Joseph said that he would rather die than to be made a eunuch. Brigham said the day would come when thousands would be made eunochs in order for them to be saved in the Kingdom of God.” – Wilford Woodruff [sic]

Ensign, “This the Greatest of All Dispensations”, July 2007; “God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can’t if you don’t pray, and He can’t if you don’t dream. In short, He can’t if you don’t believe.” – Jeffery R. Holland

New Era, “Personal Purity”, February 2000; “These are moments when we quite literally unite our will with God’s will, our spirit with His spirit. At such moments we not only acknowledge His divinity but we quite literally take something of that divinity to ourselves.” – Jeffrey R. Holland

Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged bible, C. Scott Grow, false doctrines of Mormonism, Jesus, judgment, LDS bishops determine worthiness of members, New Era October 2013 on 03/09/2014| Leave a Comment »
New Era, “Why and What Do I need to Confess to My Bishop?” October 2013; “Many youth feel more comfortable confessing their mistakes to their parents or youth leaders. Although your parents and leaders can provide necessary support and counsel, the Lord has declared that the bishop is a common judge in Israel (see D&C 107:72, 74). He has the responsibility to determine the worthiness of the members of his ward.

Mosiah 4:29-30; “29 And finally, I cannot tell you all the things whereby ye may commit sin; for there are divers ways and means, even so many that I cannot number them.
30 But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not.”

Mormon Dilemma 872 Uttermost Farthing Required
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged atonement, false doctrines of Mormonism, give last farthing, gospel, James Faust, Jesus, LDS General Conference October 2001, Luke 19:1-10, salvation, works vs. grace on 03/04/2014| 3 Comments »
General Conference, October 2001, “The Atonement Our Greatest Hope”; “The Atonement cleanses us of sin on condition of our repentance. Repentance is the condition on which mercy is extended. After all we can do to pay to the uttermost farthing and make right our wrongs, the Savior’s grace is activated in our lives through the Atonement, which purifies us and can perfect us. Christ’s Resurrection overcame death and gave us the assurance of life after death.” – James E. Faust
LDS Sunday School OT Lesson 16
Posted in Sunday School - Old Testament, tagged Balaam, Balak, Jesus, Joseph Smith Translation of the bible, LDS Sunday School OT Lesson 16, Numbers 22-25, talking donkey on 03/03/2014| Leave a Comment »
The title of the lesson this week is “I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord” and the purpose is “to encourage members to submit to God’s will without hesitation”.
In light of the Church’s theory on evolving revelations and the lesson last week of following the prophet, the title of this lesson seems rather ambiguous. How can a Mormon follow the word of God and the Mormon prophets as well?

Teachings of Presidents of the Church, chapter 3 Plan of Salvation; “The plan of salvation, or code of laws, which is known as the gospel of Jesus Christ, was adopted in the heavens, before the foundation of the world was laid. It was appointed there that Adam our father should come to this earth and stand at the head of the whole human family. It was a part of this great plan, that he should partake of the forbidden fruit and fall, thus bringing suffering and death into the world, even for the ultimate good of his children.” – Joseph Fielding Smith

Just a day ago we posted a very important article on the Creeds of Christianity and from our studies we learned about the definition of Christianity and what the duties of a Christian entail.

Journal of Discourses 3:247; “Watch yourselves and think. As I observed, on the evening of the 14th at the social Hall, ‘think brethren, think,’ but do not think so far that you cannot think back again
In the eastern country there was a man who used to go crazy, at times, and then come to his senses again. One of his neighbors asked him what made him go crazy; he replied, ‘I get to thinking, and thinking, until finally I think so far that I am not always able to think back again.’ Can you think too much for the spirit which is put in the tabernacle? You can. Let this intelligent part labor to excess, and it will eventually overcome the tabernacle, the equilibrium will be destroyed, and the whole organization deranged. Many people have deranged themselves by thinking too much.” Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, March 16, 1856

Today we’re exploring the extracurricular activities of the Church and what if any knowledge Joseph Smith had of this group. You’ll notice how he denies they exist and also how he knows they exist, but isn’t complicit in any wrong doing.
The Restored Church, pp 197-198; “Such a band as the “Danites” did exist, as historians affirm; but that Joseph Smith had nothing to do with it and exposed the participants when he became aware of it, is equally well-confirmed…The organization had been for the purpose of plundering and murdering the enemies of the Saints.” – William E. Berrett

3 Nephi 27:13-16; “Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me. 14 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil— 15 And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore, according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me, that they may be judged according to their works. 16 And it shall come to pass, that whoso repenteth and is baptized in my name shall be filled; and if he endureth to the end, behold, him will I hold guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.” – 34-35 AD
