Joseph
Smith allegedly received the gold Nephi plates (the book of Mormon) from the
angel Moroni.
Even if the so called angel,
"Moroni", really did appear to Joseph Smith, he is still accursed because the
gospel of the Book of Mormon is very different from the gospel of the Bible.
Since the Book of Mormon does not conform to the standard of the Bible, it is
NOT Christian, but condemned being a new and false gospel.
The Mormon religion is straight out of the pits of Hell. Mormonism
denies the deity of Jesus Christ. Mormonism teaches that a person must
be baptized to go to Heaven. Mormonism is a sexually degenerate cult
that is known for
pedophilia and abuse. There are many more links down below.
Mormonism has the wrong jesus, not the Jesus of the Bible Who is Almighty God
(John 10:33; Revelation 1:8).
- "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting
Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is
really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to
distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or
an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which
we have preached to you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:6-8).
- "Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize
by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels,
taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated
without cause by his fleshly mind" (Colossians 2:18).
Some of the Most Blasphemous and
Damnable Mormon Doctrines
- "We believe in a God who
is Himself progressive, whose majesty is intelligence; whose
perfection consists in eternal advancement -- a Being
who has attained His exalted state by a path which now His children are
permitted to follow, whose glory it is their heritage to share. In
spite of the opposition of the sects, in the face of direct charges of
blasphemy, the Church proclaims the eternal truth: 'As
man is, God once was; as God is, man may be.'" (LDS Apostle James E.
Talmage, Articles of Faith, Ch.24, p.430 - p.431, LDS Collectors Library '97
CD-ROM)
- " 'It is the first principle of the gospel to
know for a certainty the character of God,' the inspired word continues,
'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.' The Father is a glorified, perfected, resurrected,
exalted man who worked out his salvation by obedience to the same laws he
has given to us so that we may do the same." (LDS Apostle Bruce R.
McConkie, A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p.64, LDS Collectors
Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "Thus, on this beautiful spring morning in the
Sacred Grove, Joseph Smith witnessed the renewal of God's dealing with his
children in accordance with the great gospel plan of redemption. Upon this
occasion God the Father and his Beloved Son Jesus Christ appearing as
glorified Resurrected Beings unto a chosen servant of God, made known once
again the state of immortality which man will attain in preparation for the
next estate of eternity; that also the world once again could know the
reality of the personal nature of God the Father and his Beloved Son. (LDS
Apostle Alvin R. Dyer, Conference Report, April 1963, p.49 - p.50, LDS
Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "As we stretch our imaginations to absorb the
limitlessness of the creations of God we turn to a favorite song: If you
could hie to Kolob in the twinkling of an eye, And then continue onward with
that same speed to fly, D'ye think that you could ever, through all
eternity, Find out the generation where Gods began to
be? Or see the grand beginning, where space did not extend? Or view
the last creation where Gods and matter end? Methinks the Spirit whispers,
"No man has found 'pure space,'" Nor seen the outside curtains, where
nothing has a place. The works of God continue, and worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression have one eternal round. There is no end to
matter; there is no end to space; There is no end to spirit; there is no end
to race." (LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p.250, LDS
Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "God: Creator And Ruler
Of Many Worlds. -- While it is true that evolutionists may be divided
between theistic and atheistic groups, yet most of those professing belief
in God consider him to be an indefinable force, essence, or power of an
incomprehensible nature. According to revelation, however,
he is a personal Being, a holy and exalted Man, a
glorified, resurrected Personage having a tangible body of flesh and bones,
an anthropomorphic Entity, the personal Father of the spirits of all men.
(D. & C. 130:22- 23; Moses 6:51, 57; Abra. 3:22-24; Jos. Smith 2:16-19.)"
- "We are members of the family of the Eternal
Father. He is a glorified and exalted and eternal
Being, having a resurrected body of flesh and bones. His name is God, and
the kind of life he lives is God's life. His name is also Eternal,
and the name of the kind of life he lives is eternal life. Eternal life is
God's life, and God's life is eternal life. We are commanded to be perfect
as he is perfect and to advance and progress until we become like him, or in
other words, until we gain eternal life. Thus Joseph Smith said, "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."
(Teachings, pp. 346-47.) Christ our Lord has so obtained, thus enabling him
to say to the faithful: "Ye shall be even as I am, and I am even as the
Father." (3 Ne. 28:10.)" (LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, The Mortal Messiah,
Vol.1, p.23 - p.24, LDS Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "I will prove that the world is wrong, by
showing what God is. I am going to inquire after God; for I want you all to
know Him, and to be familiar with Him; and if I am bringing you to a
knowledge of Him, all persecutions against me ought to cease. You will then
know that I am His servant; for I speak as one having authority. ... "I
will go back to the beginning before the world was, to show what kind of a
being God is.
What sort of a being was God in the beginning? Open
your ears and hear, all ye ends of the earth. for I am going to prove it to
you by the Bible, and to tell you the designs of God in relation to the
human race, and why He interferes with the affairs of man. ... "God
himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in
yonder heavens!
That is the great secret. If the veil were rent
today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds
all worlds and all things by His power, was to make himself visible,--I say,
if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form--like
yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was
created in the very fashion, image and likeness of God, and received
instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with Him, as one man
talks and communes with another. ...
"In order to understand the subject of
the dead, for consolation of those who mourn for the loss of their friends,
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; and I will show it
from the Bible. ... "I wish I was in a suitable place to tell it, and that I
had the trump of an archangel, so that I could tell the story in such a
manner that persecution would cease forever. What did Jesus say? (Mark it,
Elder Rigdon!)
The scriptures inform us that Jesus said, as the Father hath
power in himself, even so hath the Son power--to do what? Why, what the
Father did. The answer is obvious--in a manner to lay down his body and take
it up again. Jesus, what are you going to do? To lay down my life as my
Father did, and take it up again. Do you believe it? If you do not believe
it you do not believe the Bible.
The scriptures say it, and I defy all the
learning and wisdom and all the combined powers of earth and hell together
to refute it. 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. And I want you to know that God, in the last
days, while certain individuals are proclaiming His name, is not trifling
with you or me." (LDS President Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol.6,
Ch.14, p.305-6, LDS Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "Intelligent beings are
organized to become Gods, even the Sons of God, to dwell in the presence of
the Gods, and become associated with the highest intelligences that dwell in
eternity. We are now in the school, and must practice upon what we receive."
(LDS President Brigham Young, Discourses of Brigham Young, p.245, LDS
Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM)
- "This was the calling of Joseph Smith. He
taught anew that God was in the form of man; that man was made in the image
of God; and he taught the principles of justice, mercy, charity, and
forgiveness. ... He taught the truths that the Prophets before him had
taught; and he went
beyond them. ... Joseph Smith taught
men to look up to heaven and conceive of a God in the form of man. He taught
them that they could become like their Father and God, who was 'an exalted
Man.' And what is more simple and reasonable? Don't you parents expect your
children to become like you? Or do you expect your children to be something
else than men and women? No. You men will see your sons become men;
you women will see your daughters become women.
Then God our Father--yes,
and our Mother--in heaven, looking down upon this world-- this school house in which their children are being
educated--expect, and Joseph Smith taught it as a truth, that their children
will be exalted, if they pursue the proper course, until they shall become
divine beings themselves, worthy to stand upon that plane where stand their
Father and their Mother in heaven. Like begets like; and the principle of
eternal progress will make of man a God. (LDS Apostle Orson F.
Whitney, Collected Discourses, Vol.5, May 8, 1898, LDS Collectors Library
'97 CD-ROM)
Mormons deny the deity
of Jesus Christ
The Deity of Jesus Christ
is a
fundamental doctrine of the faith, yet Mormons deny Christ's deity.
Instead, Mormons promote man to the status of being
"gods." Mormonism
is straight from Hell and must be exposed for the lies that it
teaches. The Word of God proclaims that Jesus Christ is God (John
1:1-3,10,14). Isaiah 9:6 called Jesus the "Everlasting Father." John
10:33 reads,
"The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not;
but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." The Jews were trying to kill Jesus because He was claiming to be God. They also tried to murder Jesus in John 8:57-59.
In fact, Jesus
professed Himself as Almighty God in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and
which is to come, the Almighty. Jesus forgave sin as only God
can do (Mark 2:5). Jesus accepted worship as only God is entitled to
(Isaiah 42:8; Matthew 8:2). Mormons wickedly deny Christ's deity,
while selfishly proclaiming their own. Mormons have foolishly bought
into the Devil's lie that they will one day become gods. The Word of
God never teaches any such nonsense. There is and always will be only
one Living God (Deuteronomy 6:4).
The Deity of Man Promoted
"Mormons teach that man can
become God, and that God was once a man:
'God himself, the Father of us
all, is a glorified, exalted immortal resurrected man!' (Bruce McConkie,
Mormon Doctrine, pp. 322-23, 517, 643)
'...God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man and sits
enthroned in yonder heavens...' (Journal of Discourses, V6, P3, 1844)
'As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become.' (Lorenzo Snow, quoted
in Milton R. Hunter, the Gospel Through the Ages, pp. 105-106)
This is plain and simple
heresy. Nowhere does the Bible say or imply that God was ever a man, or that
man can become God! Malachi 3:6 says, 'For I am the LORD, I change not...'
How could this be true if God was once a man? Genesis 1:1 states that God
existed 'in the beginning' before man was ever created. John 4:24 states
that God is a 'spirit,' and Jesus tells us in John 1:18 that no man has seen
God at any time. Numbers 23:19 says that 'God is not a man that he should
lie; neither the son of man that he should repent.' God has always been God,
and no one has ever 'become' God." -quote by Pastor James Melton
Mormons Teach Salvation by Works
"Mormons believe that one's
salvation is based on such good works as baptism, good deeds, missionary
work, and following Mormon teachings. In The Articles of Faith, by James
Talmage, justification by faith in Jesus Christ is called a "pernicious
doctrine" twice and he states that it has been "an influence for evil." (pp.
107, 480) Bruce McConkie once stated at Brigham Young University that a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ is "improper and perilous" (Church
News, March 20, 1982, p. 5)" -quote by Pastor James Melton
The Word of God clearly teaches that salvation is by
simple heart's faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10). Titus
3:5 reads, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according
to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of
the Holy Ghost." The "washing of regeneration" is NOT speaking about
baptism, but about the blood of Jesus that washes our sins away..."...and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." -1st John 1:7.
When we receive Christ as our Saviour, our sins are cleanses away by Jesus
blood. Colossians 1:14 declares, "In whom we have redemption through
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins."
John 1:12,13 proclaim, "But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God. Salvation is of God friend, NOT
you or anyone else. Good works cannot save us. The Pope cannot
save us. The priest cannot save us. The church cannot save us.
Baptism cannot save us. Missionary work cannot save us.
The
sacraments cannot save us. ONLY Jesus can save us, and Jesus is God!
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me" -John 14:6. It's Jesus or Hell friend,
turn or burn! Please turn from your unbelief while you still can, and
place your complete trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and
save you. Please read,
God's Simple Plan.
Mormon Church Spends $6.73 Per Member On
Humanitarian Aid Annually!
Mormons church members give an average of $6.73 per year to
help the needy, while spending BILLIONS on shopping malls and real estate.
As clearly seen, Mormonism is a business and not a Biblical church. The
following information is from EXMormon.org...
The
numbers below are from an official Mormon church
publication. Notice how they use the sum of a 25 year
span to make the number look significant. Breaking it
down to an annual basis and to a per member basis
demonstrates how little the Mormon church gives in
charitable aid.
Humanitarian assistance rendered (1985-2009)
Cash Donations $327.6 million
Value of Material Assistance $884.6 million
The value of material assistance is a
wild guess from materials donated by members and not
directly out of the church's pocket. We will assume that
it actually came from the church directly for
simplicity.
Let's look at the numbers.
Total number of years: 25 years
Total amount of aid: $1,212.2 million (cash 327.6 +
materials 884.6)
Amount of aid per year: ($1,212.2 / 25
yr) = $48.5 million per year
Let's assume an average of 12 million
members of the church over that 25 year time span.
($80.8 / 12) =
$6.73 per member given in charitable aid per year!!!
Just so that this is clear - The Mormon
church only gives out $6.73 in charitable aid per member
per year.
The Mormon church receives $5,800,000,000 annually in
contributions just from members in the United States!!! Over five billion
dollars a year, and yet they only give $6.73 each to the poor and homeless.
This is typical of a manmade cult that has nothing to do with Biblical
Christianity. The Bible defines religion as helping the poor fatherless and
widows in their affliction; yet remain unspotted by the wicked world. The
Mormon church is one of the wealthiest religions upon the earth...
"The
Mormon Church's City Creek Mall and related development now at an
astonishing $5 Billion Dollars!! Five
Billion Dollars Do
not give your hard earned money in tithing to the Mormon church. An
organization that spends 15-20 times more on real estate to develop
malls than on helping the poor is, by any definition, a corporation, not
a religion."
Sad, so sad!
Elite Occult Sex Abuse of Children is
Epidemic Worldwide
Mormons masquerade as true Christians, but they are of the
Devil. Few people ever come to recognize the true occult nature and satanic
depth of the Mormon cult. If you do some research, you will learn quickly
that
the common denominator
between all false so-called Christian religions in America is Freemasonry.
These demonic fake religions include: Jehovah's Witnesses, Charismatics
(Oral Roberts), Mormonism, Seventh Day Adventism, Judaism, Kaballah,
Christian Science, Churches of Christ, Scientology and Wicca).
Mormonism is steeped in Jewish Kabbala.
Freemasonry, Judaism, Kaballa and Mormonism are ALL SEX-BASED CULTS!!! The
very emblem of Freemasonry—the compass and the carpenter's square—symbolizes
sexual intercourse.
Opium
Brides
(heroine & 7-year
old girls taken in Afghanistan for pedophile global elite)
Why is it that Americans are being policed with trained
guard dogs, bag searches, strip searches, naked body scans, TSA pat downs
and groping, Darth Vader looking thug cops, and an increasingly intolerant
attitude toward innocent citizens? Yet, meanwhile, families in Afghanistan
are totally helpless against the thug drug lords that are stealing their
7-year old daughters to be raped by the global elite. NATO actually protects
the criminals. Afghan farmers are forced to grow opium because other forms
of honest living are not allowed nor practical in a corrupt system.
Through cleverly designed newsmedia propaganda, white-washing and deliberate
disinformation (lying and deceiving), the
globalist
owned and controlled newsmedia has been able to suppress the
blatant horrendous
crimes of the global elite themselves [which includes the 911 attacks,
the Iraqi war, and the ongoing farming of opium (heroine) crops in
Afghanistan and thug stealing of Afghan's little girls to supply the
insatiable pedophile appetite of the globalists.]
It's such a con job. It's all a big scam, intended to
harvest the daughters of the Afghani people. Where are the authorities?
Where is the government? Where are the U.S. troops that are supposed to be
liberating their country? Our troops are being exploited as paid mercenaries
and opium farmers! The popular excuse is that it's “THE CULTURE.” Watch the
preceding video all the way through. A culture of child rape by drug lords?
Who's kidding who?
The global elite are behind all of this, making every lame
excuse that the indifferent American people are willing to accept. Most
people just don't care anymore. Most people have thin skin and a hot temper
if you offend them in any way. Christianity is becoming a rare and extinct
breed these days. I still care. I love Jesus Christ! I care about others!
The hallmark quality of being a Christian is CARING!

Reasons to Reject the Book of Mormon
- There is no room for the Book of Mormon
because the Bible itself claims to be all-sufficient, compete and
incorruptible and our judge on the last day.
- The Book of Mormon contradicts the Bible.
- The Book of Mormon makes many scientifically
false statements.
- Absolutely none of the specific historical
content of the Book of Mormon has been verified through Archeological finds.
- We do not have the Gold Nephi Plates for the
world to examine.
- Although the original 1830 edition of the Book
of Mormon was alleged to be inspired in its English translation, there have
been thousands of changes, corrections, additions and deletions. Most
Mormons have never seen the original 1830 "inspired" edition and would be
shocked if they did.
- Although they claim direct guidance by God,
the Mormon church is among the most divided church in the world with more
than 89 different sects who will not cooperate with each other.
- The book of Doctrines
& Covenants is
very different depending upon which sect you are talking to.
- The three witnesses of the B of M were all
excommunicated by the Mormon church and were of less than ideal character.
