Challenging Some of the Errors of the Mormon Religion....

(The following is a capsulized version about the errors of Mormonism. While the Mormon religion is indeed "off the mark", we realize there are true, "born-again" people in every denomination, and the following article is in no way intended to diminish their relationship with Christ)

One of the comments on a Mormon website says about the Book of Mormon: "Like the Bible, it's an ancient witness for Jesus Christ. Both books have changed my life for good."

The Bible tells us not to add to, or subtract from God's commandments. The Book of Mormon was a man-inspired thing that completely contradicts the Bible!

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.

Revelation 22:18-19 18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

The Bible is the ONLY Word that man is supposed to follow. The "Old Testament" shows where God tells us so, over and over again, yet it seems most people have never understood that concept. He walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and told them how to live; yet they decided to listen to the serpent instead. He brought the captive Jews out of Egypt, revealing Himself in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night - and for forty years He even gave them food to eat for which they didn't have to lift a finger - yet they continuously rebelled. He sent Yeshua (Jesus, whose Hebrew name means: Salvation), His only "Son", so that mankind could learn from another "man" in human language (in order to facilitate our limited understanding) the things of God. This God-man offered Himself for us as a FINAL sin sacrifice which brought us a modicum of freedom - because now all we would have to do in order to gain eternal life (instead of the "works" which we never seemed to get right) is to BELIEVE, repent, and keep our eyes turned toward the heavens while the Holy Spirit of God shows us how to live our lives properly....

Yet - along comes someone like Mr. Joseph Smith Jr. (on April 6th, 1830 in Palmyra, New York) and tells the world he had visitations from the spirit world where he discovered he was supposed to start a brand new religion that not only contradicted, but added to the Torah (God's original teaching and instruction), as well as the rest of the God-breathed Bible! Smith ended up writing more than 60 false prophecies, as well as scores of verifiably false historical and archeological statements that comprised the Book of Mormon and, what's more, he claimed to have discovered the Mormon writings written around 600 AD. Has anyone ever been able to explain why these writings were written in "King James" style (1600 AD)?

God says that if you are a prophet, every single word uttered in God's name will be accurate:

Deuteronomy 18:20 "The prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die."

If Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Hosea, etc., had spoken ONE single inaccurate word from the Lord, they would have been killed and their writings destroyed. Therefore, Mr. Smith, upon whose writings the Mormon church was founded, is a false prophet.

Mormonism teaches that "If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation. There is no salvation outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." (Doctrines of Salvation vol. 2 pp. 1-350)

What a slap in the face of our Saviour Yeshua!

Mormons also believe that:

  • God is a man with a physical body

  • The Father and the Son are two separate Gods

  • Satan and Yeshua are brothers

  • MAN can be a god!

  • Men who are "good" enough to go to heaven will get their own planet to populate through physical sex, and that women who are "good" enough will be called by their husbands to join them on these pleasure planets....

  • A complete apostasy has occurred leaving Christendom in chaos.

Mormons believe Jesus came to America a few hundred years after the Cross. Everyone who accepts this doctrine are Christians; those that don't are non-Christians, and those that couldn't make up their mind back then, well - God made them black...
