God Had a Father God?!?!

We were begotten by our Father in heaven; the person of our Father in Heaven was begotten on a previous heavenly world by His Father; and again, He was begotten by still a more ancient Father ….


The Seer by Orson Pratt, p. 132 


This is one of those really absurd doctrines of the LDS. Everyone can become a god (as long as they are “temple” Mormons). According to the LDS, everyone on earth, and whoever has ever been on earth, are spiritual siblings begotten of the “god” over this earth. But our LDS god was originally a spirit child of another god on another planet, and ad infinitum. No beginning, just another god as far back as into eternity.


And LDS claims they are Christian?!?! Their “god” is nothing like the God of the Bible, the God not only of Christians but of every human being—not as a spiritual child waiting for a body to inhabit, but born of a man and woman and not existing until such time.

Speaking Against Polygamy Brings Damnation??

Journal of Discourses 5:203: “The principle of plurality of wives never will be done away”(Deseret News, November 7, 1855.)


You might as well deny Mormonism and turn away from it, as to oppose the plurality of wives. Let the Presidency of this Church, and the Twelve Apostles, and all the authorities unite and say with one voice that they will oppose that doctrine, and the whole of them will be damned. 


Heber C. Kimball, Salt Lake City, October 12, 1856


I suppose Mr. Anonymous will also claim these passages are out of the context of the time, but that would be a lie.  Good ol’ Joseph Smith received a revelation from God, so you know it had to be imbibed in or else. Actually, Smith’s so-called revelation was to justify his serial adultery which was sometimes with other Mormon members’ wives!


And then, conveniently, it was inconvenient for statehood to be polygamous so President Wilford Woodruff received another revelation cancelling the law of polygamy.


The REAL God of the Bible intended for one man/one woman unions (the reason he gave Adam ONE woman). Just because there were people in the Bible who failed to obey God’s rules, that doesn’t condemn the rule—it condemns those who break the rules.

Some Quick Thoughts About LDS Racism

Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization.


Joseph Smith, History of the Church 5:217-218.



Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.


Brigham Young, March 8, 1863, Journal of Discourses 10:110.



The descendants of Ham, besides a black skin which has ever been a curse that has followed an apostate of the holy priesthood, as well as a black heart, have been servants to both Shem and Jepheth, and the abolitionists are trying to make void the curse of God, but it will require more power than man possesses to counteract the decrees of eternal wisdom. 


John Taylor, Times and Seasons, April 1, 1845, 6:857.
