MORMONS
A CHURCH OF A JESUS CHRIST OF THE
LATTER DAY SAINTS
The Mormon 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
knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind...” Romans 1: 21,22,28
ONCE UPON
A TIME...
(a brief
history of the early Mormon pioneers who went to America)
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.

religion. (heresy)

(All
heresies)
4. Holy Ghost: a man with a
spiritual body. (heresy)
5. The Trinity: Three separate
gods (heresy)
6. The Gospel: Mormon theology
(heresy)
7. Born
Again: Baptism Into Mormonism (heresy)
8. Atonement: the way for an
individual to earn their own salvation. (heresy)
9. True salvation: Being
exalted to a god to rule and sexual procreation of spirit children
(heresy)
10. Eternal life and
redemption: Being saved by good works. (heresy)
11. Heaven: there are three
kingdoms of glory (heresy)
12. Hell: similar to purgatory
(heresy)
13. The Scriptures: Book of
Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price and the KJV as
far as it
is correctly translated.
QUESTIONS TO ASK MORMONS
1. How can Joseph Smith be a
true prophet of God when he repeatedly fails the test of a true prophet
in the
Bible?
2. What does your conscience
and common sense tell you when you understand the 27 monumental
blunders
previously cited and 13 false definitions given above?
3. Does it worry you that the
supposedly perfect Book of Mormon underwent major changes and 3000
minor ones
since 1830?
4. How do you explain the
27,000 words plagiarized from the KJV which wasn’t written till 1611?
The Book
of Mormon being written in 570BC.
5. Why has no archeological
evidence ever been found to support the Book of Mormon’s alleged
cities,
persons, silk, coins, metals, wars, weapons, kings or palaces in North
or South
America?
Prominent Mormon archeologist T. S. Ferguson quit the Mormon church
because of
the weight of archeological evidence against Mormonism. The Bureau of
American
Ethnology writes: “There is no evidence whatever of any migration from
Israel
to America.”
6. How do you explain the
plagiarism in the Book of Mormon taken from Ethan Smith’s “View of the
Hebrews”
(1823), a book that was available to Joseph Smith?
7. Why does the Book of Mormon
contradict and conflict with hundreds of truths in the Bible?
8. How can early Mormon
prophets deny and contradict modern Mormon prophets and vice versa?
9. Does it worry you that the
Book of Mormon was translated by occult means?
10. Why after 25 years has the
Mormon church never responded or answered to Jerald and Sandra Tanner’s
research? (Write to them at: Utah Lighthouse Ministry, Box 1884, Salt
Lake
City, Utah, 84110.)
11. Why is it that even the
highest Mormons don’t know where they’ll go when they die?
12. If you died tonight, do you
know 100% for sure that you would go to be with Jesus Christ forever in
heaven?
Would you
like to make sure?
“Dear Lord, I’m a sinner and deserve nothing but your
wrath in hell
forever. I repent of my involvement in Mormonism as a false religion.
Please
forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus died for my sins - no more
to pay!
Thank you God for saving me.”
