MORMONS
“ARE MORMONS THE CHURCH OF ANOTHER JESUS CHRIST?”
The
Mormons say Jesus...
He was created
He
earned His salvation by good works
He
was one of many gods
He
is separate from God
He
was a married polygamist
Mary
had sex and conceived Jesus
IS THIS THE JESUS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE?
How
can they substitute a false Christ?
How
can Mormons use Christian terms but they reject
the King James Bible meaning for that
term?
“...when
they knew God, they
glorified
him not as God ...but became
vain
in their imaginations, and their
foolish
heart was darkened.
Professing
themselves to be wise, they
became
fools ...and even as they did
not
like to retain God in their
God gave them over to a reprobate mind...”
Romans 1: 21-22,28
WHO WENT TO AMERICA
ONCE UPON A TIME...
After the
Tower of Babel about 2100BC, a group went to Central America and were destroyed
by corruption.
Another group
left Jerusalem around 600BC, before the Babylonian invasion and went to Peru.
These were
supposedly the righteous Jews who had Jesus appear to them to give them the
gospel, baptism, communion and other mystical ceremonies.
They split
into two groups - The Nephites and the Lamanites (American Indians) who wiped
out the Nephites. The Lamanites were then cursed with dark skin.
In 1827
Joseph Smith claimed to have dug up golden plates written in Reformed Egyptian
hieroglyphics (Roman letters mixed with Greek and Hebrew) and with his Urim and
Thummim spectacles, translated them into English in 1830 as the Book of Mormon.
ERRORS OF
MORMONISM
1.
Taking
the word of a 15 year old boy (not knowing the gospel 1 Cor 15:1-4)
saying that the gospel had never been preached from 96AD to
1827AD.
2.
Brigham Young ordered the massacre of 150 non-Mormon immigrants.
3.
Joseph Smith dug for treasure with divining rods; immoral, polygamous
and a liar.
4.
Roman letters were unknown in 570BC till centuries later when Rome
became a world power in 67BC.
5.
Professor C. Anthon pronounced the Reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics as
perfectly false.
6.
Jews only ever wrote in Hebrew. Devout Jews would never write the name
of “YHWH” in Egyptian.
7. Jeremiah
contradicts the Book of Mormon by saying the only safe way to escape
Nebuchadnezzar was by submitting.
8. There
are no rivers emptying into the Red Sea as stated in the book of Mormon; old
men women and children couldn’t walk 175 miles from Jerusalem to the Red Sea in
3 days; 6 people then cross 1400 miles of desert and then build a ship to carry
them 2/3 the way around the world in rough seas.
9.
American Indians are Mongoloids not Semites as the Book of Mormon claims.
10.
“Reformed Egyptian” has no similarity to Mayan characters.
11.
Early Americans didn’t know of metals for swords,
shields, chariots to be used in wars. They were farmers.
12.
There were no great cities of population as mentioned in the Book of
Mormon.
13.
There was no coinage system in Ancient America as outlined in the Book
of Mormon: Why? No metal discovered till gold was - after
600AD!
14.
Silk and fine linen never grown in America as stated in Book of Mormon.
15.
Impossible to have Nephites build synagogues (“after the manner of
Solomon”) in America. Why? They’d left before the first
one was built in Jerusalem. They wouldn’t have known how to build one or what
it looked like. They also wouldn’t have the number of workers required -
hundreds of thousands. Nephi had 12 adults. Why have a temple built for several
millions of worshippers for only 20 people?
16.
Quetzalcoatl (The Feathered Serpent) is equated with Jesus. Can’t be,
why? It appeared 1000 years after Jesus. There is no evidence to say that Jesus
went to America.
17.
The Book of Mormon mistakes Christ’s crucifixion as 3 days rather than 3
hours.
18.
Joseph Smith claimed that Elijah (OT) and Elias (NT) were different
people. They are the same person.
19.
The Book of Mormon has Jesus being born at Jerusalem not Bethlehem.
20.
How can Helaman 12:26 written in 6BC quote John
5:29, which wasn’t written till 85AD?
21.
How can parts of the Book of Mormon written in 570BC quote from the KJV
(word for word) which wasn’t written till 1611?
22.
How can the book of Mormon (written 570BC) quote seventeen full chapters
of Isaiah word for word from the KJV 1611 which was written in 1611?
23.
Joseph Smith’s Book of Abraham found to be a complete fraud.
24.
The Book of Mormon has been changed in 3000 places from the 1830 edition.
25.
The 3 witnesses that appear in the front of the Book of Mormon later
became thieves and counterfeiters.
26.
There were 11 false prophecies by Joseph Smith.
