The Purpose of this Blog

Some people seem to think that I need to debate Mormonism with them in comment sections. This blog is not for debating, rather it is for exposing Mormon teachings when compared to the teachings of true Christianity. To do so I give the actual citations from their “prophets,” authors and publications. So your arguments are with the citations, not with me.


I’m not a coward, puffed-up, egotistical, think I’m God, etc.  I don’t have the time to debate people trying to defend the indefensible, satanic-inspired, anti-God teachings of the LDS.


My email is available on my profile page as well as my general apologetics blog, “The Watchman’s Bagpipes.” If you want clarification on something or want more information on the LDS, please feel free to communicate with me as long as you aren’t trying to debate me.


Non-debating comments which aren’t full of ad hominem attacks, etc, are also welcome.

Salvation Only Through Joe Smith?!?


Mormon Doctrine, p. 471; “If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation. There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” 

 

Bruce McConkie


So, according to the LDS, our salvation rests with Joseph Smith? And unless you are a member of the LDS you cannot be saved?


Very interesting lie straight from Satan. I've responded to this claim seven years ago but there is nothing wrong with repeating the truth.


The New Testament tells a different, and contradictory story where no one is saved apart from faith in Jesus Christ. Look up the passages if you do not believe me:


Luke 8-9

John 1:12

John 3:16-17

John 3:36

John 5:24

John 14:6

John 20:31

Act 4:12

Romans 5:8

Romans 6:23

Romans 10:9

Galatians 2:16

Galatians 2:20

Ephesians 2:8-9

1 Timothy 2:5-6


And other passages say that salvation is ONLY through Jesus Christ and not through a mere man who has blasphemed the name of God.
