Mormons Reject What Their Temple Declares
Posted in Temple Symbols and Their Meanings, tagged alpha and omega, godhood, polytheism on 02/13/2021| Leave a Comment »
The phrase Alpha and Omega is one of the quintessential titles of our Lord. The very title and its meaning are self-explanatory. It envelops God’s relationship with mankind as we see in John’s revelations (see ref. below), as well as His interaction with man from the beginning of time.
One great example is found in Isaiah 43:10-11 when the Lord declared He’s the only God and there were none before Him just as there won’t be any others after Him.
With this in mind, we have a couple of questions today about a symbol on the outside of the Salt Lake temple. Whether it’ll make a showing after their renovation is unclear, but for now we’re wondering why it was there to begin with. (more…)

The Seer, p. 224 “God is a God of truth, and cannot lie without violating the great perfections and attributes of his nature, which if he should do, his power and glory would cease, and other Beings who are filled with all the fullness of his attributes, would succeed in his place.

If they wish to worship a god of their own workmanship, instead of the true and living God, all right, if they will mind their own business and let other people alone. 2:310.” — Great Salt Lake City, July 8, 1855 (more…)

Interview with Mormon Missionaries
Posted in Mormon Missionaries, tagged eternal progression, godhood, Mormon missionaries, polytheism, true Mormon doctrines, witnessing on 12/20/2018| Leave a Comment »
The other day I came across a video on YouTube of a Christian Pastor interviewing two Mormon missionaries. He asked them many questions about some of the core, deeper doctrines of Mormonism, and was told things that you probably won’t hear from the missionaries when they come to your door. Throughout the interview, the missionaries were very polite and cordial and seemed to do their best to answer the questions he asked them.
I’d like to go through some of the questions and content of the interview. I’ll make sure to link the video along with time stamps of where the question was asked so you can hear their answers for yourself.
(Just a reminder before you watch the video, anytime a Mormon uses the phrase “the gospel of Jesus Christ” they are referring to the Mormon gospel, not the biblical gospel.) (more…)
Joseph Smith’s Family of Gods
Posted in False Prophecies of Joseph Smith, tagged false gods, false prophets, joseph smith, polytheism, Russell Nelson on 11/21/2018| Leave a Comment »
Yesterday we saw Russell Nelson proclaim his delight in Joe Smith’s insights regarding the Bible, and how they were ‘amazingly consistent’.
Today we’re wondering how Mr. Nelson would explain Smith’s false prophecy in calling God a liar…
The very foundation of Mormonism declares God’s word to be wrong, and therefore, all of Christianity has been worshiping the wrong God.
History of the Church 6:305-306 “It is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how he came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.
These are incomprehensible ideas to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did….
Here, then, is eternal life—to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one; from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power.” — Joseph Smith, April 1844 (more…)
