Thanks, Reaganaut
They don’t read the New Testament but claim to be Christians.
If you believe the Bible then you know Mormonism is based on a lie. The Bible says when Jesus returns it will be from the east to the west and every knee shall bow. Joseph Smith said he ran across Jesus in the woods in New York. I understand they don’t claim that anymore.
Oh no, they still claim that, it is the basis of their whole faith that God and Jesus appeared in the flesh to Joseph Smith.
And they don’t really believe the bible. They claim they do but they also state that it is corrupt, full of errors and not translated correctly.
Can someone please email this to Glenn Beck?
“I have more to boast of than any man had. I am the only man who has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam….Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it.”
Wow. I did not know he said that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I was okay with the Mormon position that no man. May enter heaven without first passing Joseph Smith.

A Christian professor and evangelist said that after 30 years in the Mormon Church,
Then my words to my wife are still good. When we met she was a part time Mormon who read the Bible. I pointed out to her that Christ said when He comes back everyone will know and everyone will kneel and bow. But according to Joseph Smith Jesus talked to him out in the woods and apparently asked Joseph not to tell anyone that he’d slipped in a little early but he was going to let Joseph handle it for him. Bottom line: The LDS church was started based on a lie.
Thanks for posting this.
It also surprised me that an intelligent woman with so many apparent apprehensions, questions and nagging doubts along the way wouldn’t even have been aware for 30 years there were other Bible versions in addition to the standard LDS-authorized King James Version but I suppose it comes down to the need to justify a conversion experience combined with the lack of a foundational knowledge of truth in Christianity with which to recognize falsehood....
“”The Bible doesn’t teach that the mark of Cain was dark skin,” she explained, “but the Book of Mormon does.” She noted that the mark of Cain is in other Mormon scriptures, too, besides the Book of Mormon. “
I’ve always heard some Christians say it was Noah’s son cursed with dark skin. I’ve never heard it was Cain. Anyone else know about this?
Beck knows. The folks over at Living Waters ministry have given him CDs on the matter. It seems he didn’t care.
meh...still I rather live among Mormon cultists than the perfect voter group.
I’m with you. If LDS teaches it’s the “mark of Cain” to have dark skin, that’s news to me. I know a little of Mormonism but not that.
What I heard growing up was that it’s the “curse of Ham’s son, Canaan”, who was cursed because of Ham’s sin in regard to his father Noah, to have dark skin. Not that it was true, but that quite a few people actually believed it.
Both - the Cain mark and the Ham curse causing dark skin - are ridiculous.
This website has videos of former Mormons.

I especially enjoyed this couple:
>>Rocky & Helen Hulse, Part 1 | Part 2
Runtimes: 57 & 58 minutes || Published: 19 Apr 2010 || Mormon Journeys
Rocky grew up a faithful, believing Mormon; even so, he married Helen, a young woman who was not LDS. In the course of his struggle to bring her to faith in Mormonism, they both came to find true faith in Jesus Christ, and now dedicate their lives to helping others on their journey to freedom in Jesus.
“God is bigger than the transcendent man worshipped by the “Latter day Saints” (LDS).”
Who lives on a planet near star Kolob, and the Mormon Jesus is the brother of Lucifer. And the Book of Mormon has prophets named Lehi, Alma, Ether, and (my fave) “Mosiah”. And`Nephites’ were wiped out by Jewish Indians called `Lamanites’, without a single trace left behind.
Praise the Lord that this woman has discovered His grace and love and Christ’s salvation in the words of the New Testament.
Bump that
How can SO many Smart, Nice people believe that kind of teaching??
The mishies hit me up when I was on my way to Vietnam so I’ve been asking the same question for over forty years.
How does Glenn Beck go from lapsed Catholic to enthusiastic Mormon (LDS doctrine is fiercely anti-Catholic)?
One key is to look at the ex-Mormons, the dropouts. The majority of them turn atheistic. Sad, very sad. They were trapped in an enveloping & stifling culture for so long that upon their escape, these ex-mo’s see ALL forms of Divine worship as worthless superstition.
We should pray that God’s grace may enter their hearts.
