Elsie, why are we fighting with Mormons? The truth is all any of us need. Jesus said there would be many false prophets and so we read the Scriptures so that we may know the truth and who our brethren are.

I have no desire to know what the Mormons believe and I don’t want to be the one to condemn so many people. Not while there is time left on this planet that they could be saved.

Pray for them, but don’t beat them up. Show them the beginning words of the BOM and ask them who does this sound like?

“I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.”

That is the most upside down satanic sounding introduction and you won’t find that anywhere among God’s prophets. Because he has “goodly parents”? Because he is highly favored of God in all his days? Of HIS proceedings? In HIS days? Are ya kidding me??? It’s so obvious, how can anyone not see it?

“Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge.”

Right there he puffs himself up based on HIS OWN KNOWLEDGE. For whatever reason the writer of this book sent up a flag and shouted “look at me, look at me, I’m about as far from God as they come, but follow me anyway” and they are.

This is practically an “in-your-face” “I am not God” but look how they follow me anyway.

But it is my prayer that God sees those that are earnestly seeking Him, and like the widow that cast her last two pennies into the cashbox of the Temple that crucified Christ...if they believe in the foundation of Christ, I just pray it will be considered a true foundation.

But the leaders are in serious trouble. How could they read those opening words, study so much and not know?

They have to choose to be blind to fall for that. And to take people down that road with them, I just hope they reconsider.
