Moroni Taught Joseph Smith 10 Lies, pt. 2
Posted in Liahona, tagged ‘What Did Moroni Teach Joseph Smith?’, false prophet Joseph Smith, January 2021, Liahona, necromancy on 01/10/2021| Leave a Comment »
‘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.’ Matthew 24:24.
Today is part 2 of our look at an article in the latest church magazine, Liahona, ‘What Did Moroni Teach Joseph Smith?’, January 2021.
Yesterday we looked at five lies, some of which included witchcraft, necromancy, and Joseph’s ill-gotten fame.
Today we’ll see how neither Moroni, nor Joseph, opted for defending the Lord. Moroni did nothing more than feed a teenager’s inflated ego. Based on the Church’s track record, one must wonder if this even happened at all.
If you’re LDS, we want to reiterate we don’t say these things to demean or bash you. Our hearts are broken for the way this church has lied, and led members away from Jesus, not to Him.
We pray you’ll look at the evidence and compare all of it objectively – your very soul depends on it!
As Paul Harvey used to say…now for the rest of this story!

Yesterday (July 15, 2020) the Church announced the publication of Eliza Snow’s Discourses anyone can read online.
In case you’re unaware, Ms. Snow was the 2nd president of the Relief Society, and older sister of Lorenzo Snow, the Church’s 5th prophet/president. She was the 14th wife of Joe Smith, and became the 10th wife of Brigham Young, 4 months after Smith’s death. She lived from 1804 – 1887.
The Church had nothing but glowing reports about Eliza. Here in part is what they said – (more…)
