LDS: Intelligence is Glory of God
Posted in December, Thought of the Day about Mormonism, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged glory of God is intelligence, idolatry, mormonism on 12/30/2025| 2 Comments »
December 30 — If the glory of God is intelligence, then what should we make of 1 Corinthians 13:8
“Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
Does this mean that God’s glory will vanish?
According to Mormonism it has nothing to do with the Lord. (more…)

December 12 — New Era, Dec. 2009, 2 “What does it mean to be a Saint? In the Lord’s Church, the members are Latter-day Saints, and they attempt to emulate the Savior, follow His teachings, and receive saving ordinances in order to live in the celestial kingdom with God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ (see 2 Nephi 9:18).” – Quentin L.

Why Mormonism isn’t Christianity
Posted in Mormonism vs. Christianity, tagged Christianity, cult, Huffington Post, mormonism on 12/08/2025| 7 Comments »
December 8 — It’s nice to see there are people in the media who acknowledges that Mormonism is not Christianity. And sometimes it’s even surprising to find out that news sources you didn’t think would care actually take an objective view and tell the truth.
Thank You Jesus!
For a great article on basic differences between Mormonism and Christianity you can read Bethany Blankley’s article in the Huffington Post. (more…)
Beehives in Utah
Posted in Symbols of Occult on Mormon Temples, tagged beehives, false doctrine, mormonism, utah on 11/18/2025| 1 Comment »
November 18 — A good friend called me after returning from a business trip to Salt Lake City asking me what the deal was with all the beehives in Utah. She noticed that everywhere she looked there seemed to be this overwhelming sense these meant more than what they portrayed. Her spiritual aptitude was spot on!
A few years ago, I wrote about all the symbols on the Mormon temple you can read at the link below, but for now let’s explore what Utah has adopted as its state symbol – the beehive. Stain Glass Pentagrams
The beehive symbol may seem innocuous to the unknowing. When most people see this symbol, they either think of honey or the phrase “busy as a bee” without realizing its spiritual implications. The industrious work of the bee is only part of the story. (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
Posted in Martyrdom of, tagged bible, Carthage, Christ, false gospel, false prophet, freedom, Jesus, joseph smith, martyrdom, mormonism, salvation, truth on 06/27/2025| 6 Comments »
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…)

October 9 – Birth of Mormon Polytheism. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47; “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.”

August 28 — Don’t Leave Because of Facts. Ensign, Nov. 2009, 37 “Some are willing to set aside the precious gospel truths restored by Joseph Smith because they get diverted on some historical issue or some scientific hypothesis not central to their exaltation, and in so doing they trade their spiritual birthright for a mess of pottage. They exchange the absolute certainty of the Restoration for a doubt, and in that process they fall into the trap of losing faith in the many things they do know because of a few things they do not know.” – Tad R.

From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are—I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation—the keys to rule in the spirit-world; and he rules there triumphantly…” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, October 9, 1859 (more…)
