And these are only the tip of the iceberg. The more you study Mormonism, the more contradictions arise.

My favorite stumpers are:

“Does the Book of Mormon teach the fullness of the Gospel?” - A faithful LDS will say “yes” yet the BoM does not teach doctrines they consider ESSENTIAL for salvation such as: temple rites and garments, certain priesthood offices such as Seventy and High Priest, eternal progression (godhood), baptism for the dead or degrees of Glory.

another one is an answer to the LDS arguement that they are Christians b/c the name Jesus Christ is in the name of their church. But that wasn’t always so. There were 3 previous names for the (now) LDS church, including just the “Church of Latter Day Saints”. Couldn’t Jesus decide on a name for His church?!? Especially since they teach that their Church is the EXACT same as the one in the NT.

Finally, the LDS only pray to “Heavenly Father” and not Jesus, yet in their own Book of Mormon there are examples of the Nephites praying TO JESUS and NOT God (Alma 36).

I thank God every day that He saved me and saved me out of that so-called “church”.

(Also 3 Nephi 19: 7,18, 24-26 -- repeated praying DIRECTLY to Jesus)
