Oh the Abject Heresy!!!

…no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are—I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation—the keys to rule the spirit-world; and he rules there triumphantly, for he gained full power and a glorious victory over the power of Satan while he was yet in the flesh, and was a martyr to his religion and to the name of Christ, which gives him a perfect victory in the spirit-world. He reigns there as supreme being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven.

Brigham Young, 10/9/1859, Journal of Discourses 7:289

The LDS worships Joseph Smith!!! No one gets into heaven without Smith’s consent?!?! What about all those Christians since the first century?

The LDS virtually worships Joseph Smith. While the rest of us celebrate Christmas often with depictions of the nativity of Christ, it didn’t surprise me that the LDS celebrates the nativity of Smith! This photo came from the Mormonism Research Ministry:

Heresy and Lies

A Testimony of Joseph Smith is vital. No man can accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, no man can accept this as His church, the Church of Jesus Christ, unless he can accept Joseph Smith as God’s mouthpiece and the restorer of His world in these latter days. First, to say that we are Christians then requires two or three certainties. We must know for certainty in our hearts and minds that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world. We must know that this is indeed the Church of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God on earth in these last days; and finally we must have a testimony that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God.

The Teachings of Harold B. Lee, pg. 371.  Lee was the 11th President of the LDS.

According to this statement, no person was really a Christian until the 1800s when Joseph Smith came along, because no person from the New Testament times until Smith could accept Smith as a prophet--they wouldn’t even have heard of him yet!! This is heresy in the utmost!!

Since Smith’s institution of his false “church,” no real Christian will accept false prophet Smith as a prophet of God, and certainly no real Christian can accept the blasphemous LDS as “the Church of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God on earth in these last days” because it was founded on a false prophet and is based on lies, false teachings of every kind, and the worship of a false god (who is a man). Even their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible because the LDS Mary had sex with their god to provide an earthly body for Jesus while the real Mary was a virgin when she became pregnant--and stay so until giving birth to Jesus.

Baptism For Dead A Waste of Time

I’m sharing this October 19, 2024 post from the great site, “Life After Ministry.” Mormons need to rethink their money-making baptism for the dead.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nephi said Baptisms for Dead not Necessary. 2 Nephi 9:38 “And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins; for they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in their sins.”

=============

Isaiah 64:6 “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

==============

Every Mormon should question their faith based upon this verse from the Book of Mormon.

If those who die in their sins remain in their sins, then what’s the deal with baptisms for the dead?

In addition to the BoM verse above ask the Mormon you know for their opinion about what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:29 –

“Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?”

Members of the Church might argue that the Bible hasn’t been translated correctly but they can’t argue about the validity of what Nephi said in the BoM!

Also be sure to remind them you’re not trying to belittle what they believe and that your questions come from a true concern for their spiritual well-being.
