21 facts everyone should know about Mormon teaching [Mormonism/Anti-Christian]

2. Mormon goddesses will spend eternity in full submission to their god-husband.

3. Mormon's teach that women will give birth “forever and ever” to spirit-babies.

4. Mormon's teach men can have multiple wives in heaven—eternalpolygamy. They intend to have many wives in heaven, carrying on multiple sex relations throughout eternity, until they have enough children to populate their own earth, so they can be "Heavenly Father" over their own planet!

5. Heavenly Father is an exalted man who lives with his goddess wife,Heavenly Mother, on a planet near the great star Kolob.

6. American Indians are descendants of the wicked Lamanites, who were Israelites that God cursed with dark skin.

7. God the Father had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus. They say Virgin Mary really wasn't a virgin at all but had sex relations with their heavenly father to produce the Mormon version of Jesus Christ

8. Mormon's teach that there is only salvation through the Mormons and all other Christian churches are wrong and Mormons also do baptisms for their dead.

9. Mormons teach that they need 4 secret handshakes to get into the Celestial heaven.

10. Joseph Smith revealed that the actual Garden of Eden is in Jackson County, Missouri.

11. Joseph Smith says that he saw God and Jesus both, when they appeared to him.

13. Mormons believe the angel Gabriel came down to earth and became Noah in the days of the flood.

15. Mormons believe the Archangel Michael came down to earth with several of his celestial wives, and became Adam in the garden of Eden.

16. The Mormon founder and their Prophet Joseph Smith prophesied falsely many times. For example, he foretold the second coming of Christ for 1891. The Bible teaches that one false prophecy puts the prophet under death sentence. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

17. Mormons doctrine taught and believed that before 1978 they considered the Negro race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from entering their priesthood. Now they will allow men of African decent to be priests but the fact that they once taught this proves they're a False Religion.

18. Mormons have books other than the Bible that they call scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants. All these and even their official "Mormon Doctrine" statements contradict each other on MAJOR doctrinal points. The King James Bible is also contradicted by these books.

19. Mormons believe Jesus had at least three wives and children while he was on this earth.

20. Joesph Smith taught that there were inhabitants on the moon, and Brigham Young taught there were inhabitants on the sun as well! The fact that these two men once taught this proves they were not real Prophets of God. They were false prophets and this religion is leading many souls to Hell still today.

21. Mormons also teach that there is no salvation without Joseph Smith. They teach that Joseph Smith holds the keys to the Kingdom of God. They teach that Jesus' death on the cross only partially saves the believer. They also teach that people will stand before God, Jesus and Joseph Smith on Judgement Day.

The Mormon religion is not from God, it is the doctrine of devils. Mormonism looks Christian and they do mention Jesus a little but it is no where near being a Christian Faith. The Mormon religion is a cult because it is devoted to the works, theories, and teachings that are all lies, from a man named Joseph Smith. A lying spirit founded this religion and lying spirits keep spreading it today. These lying spirits can deceive the simple and corrupt the faithful if you allow them continually fill your heart and mind with these lies. These people dress themselves up in white shirts and ties, then come into the homes of unsuspecting people and lead them astray. Just as Satan led Eve astray in the Garden of Eden.

The Mormons, also called LDS, use a very subtle and crafty tactic of deception. They are not going to tell you what they really teach at first because Mormonism is a secret deception. They will cleverly use the name of Jesus to get in your home and to gain your trust but they won't tell you up front that they don't believe the Bible is fully accurate and that they have other books they believe are more accurate than the Holy Bible. They won't tell you up front all of the other falsehoods they teach and by teaching these false doctrines they are denying the Lord Jesus Christ. To deny the Word of God, the Bible, is to deny Jesus!

You may agree that there are a lot of well meaning, naive and gullible people that have been led astray by these types of false doctrine. That is why those who have a skillful knowledge of the Word of God should warn and instruct those who do not. Warn them and be firm because this is not a play thing, their soul salvation is at stake. Philippians 2:12 tell us to..."work out your own salvation with fear and trembling".

Read below if you would like more scriptures that are from the Holy Bible that can help you learn and share with others what the Word of God says about these false doctrines.

2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

Seekers of truth,

If you peruse the Free Republic religion forums you will notice a pattern. There's an anti-Mormon group of people here that spends a great deal of their time attacking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They post regurgitated propaganda on an almost daily basis.

They have a misguided obsession. You can witness many different tactics employed that you might find quite interesting. The straw man argument is a big favorite and is frequently preceded by cherry-picking quotes or other material. After the "quotation" the attacker will misrepresent what has been said or what was meant and then attack their own interpretation.Later they will have the audacity to claim they were "only" quoting our own material.

They will of course insist ad nauseum that they are merely using our sources and are therefore innocent of any deceptive practice. LDS persons have no issue whatsoever having our scriptures or leaders quoted as long as it is presented fairly and accurately. This is rarely (if ever) done.

Another favorite is posting scripture or statements which on their own really present no dilemma. They make something out of nothing while never bringing up a single objection that hasn't been addressed a hundred times before.

You might note a couple of other tactics used to try to antagonize is the use of disrespectful or insulting terms or language and/or pictures. That's a Christlike thing to do right? Yeah I don't think so either. It does speak volumes about them though.

Some of them claim being some sort of special witness to you as being supposedly former Mormons. So someone who is an ex-member of any organization would never have an axe to grind or have reason to try to justify their actions by any means? Perhaps not but perhaps so. The LDS Church gains members from other denominations as well as others faiths all the time. This doesn't make them an expert on anything and you certainly won't hear them attacking their former Church.

Frequently they cruise the headlines of the day seeking any story that might be twisted into making the Church look bad. Anything will do, just watch the progression of posts following it and see what I mean.

After reading their posts, I invite you to seek the truth about whatever "issue" they seem to be "revealing" or "exposing". I promise that if you do so with honest intent, the "ahah" moments you will have will be many and frequent. You will start to recognize the tactics employed to cleverly twist and attack and will likely chuckle the more you see. In actuality, there's nothing new here. It's all been addressed many times before.

The latest twist in the anti-Mormon propaganda machine is to actually go to the links provided, but then they cherry pick what they want, quote and straw man attack that. Almost without fail you will see examples of this following this post.

Clever. It almost appears that they are helping you out by doing some footwork for you. Not so much. Don't be insulted, look for yourself. It's not the haystack they want you to think. So again, seek the truth. They aren't providing it. Use your God-given brain and discernment.

Here's a few links to get your started from a different viewpoint. I have found that the vast majority of the "issues" brought up can be found and addressed at http://www.fairlds.org/ but here's more:

http://scriptures.lds.org/

Now you will likely notice the "you never address or answer our points" posts pop up as usual. All after providing the answers just as you have here.

Sometimes it is claimed that these sites present a needle in a haystack. Far from it. But if you give up before you try you won't know will you? They often state that these sites provide no answer. They just don't want you looking. It is as simple as that.

Will you wear blinders too? Seek truth. Find out for yourself. Want to chat with someone on any topic? A few of these sites provide just that. So do your homework sincere seeker of truth. Listen and read from both "sides". Make up your own mind.

I witness to you of these truths and wish you the best, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
