Mormons and the forbidden fruit

Anyone familiar with the Genesis story about Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit understands that it was not a good thing.  Sin never is.  By disobeying God they were driven from the garden and God said they would die.  It brought about a curse upon all of creation.  God eventually sent his Son as a sacrificial lamb to die on the cross to redeem man from the mess because this sin had spread to all mankind.  As Apostle Paul put it, "Just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned..." (Rom. 5:12).
Satan said that they would be like God knowing good and evil
In Mormonism however this whole ordeal is looked at as a good thing.  Adam said, "Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God.  And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and as glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient." ( Moses 5:10-11)

Mormon Poppycock

Image
Anyone familiar with biblical language and the timeline of the New Testament events will have problems with the Book of Mormon.  In 1 Nephi chapter 13, which supposedly covers a time period between B.C. 600 and 592, we read of references to a great abominable church which has gone forth from the Lamb to spread the gospel.  The Greek word however where we get the word "church" was not even thought of much less used in the Bible during this time.  The Greek bible did not come into existence for several hundred years with the advent of the Septuagint LXX and the word gospel did not come about until the time of Jesus.  The writer of the Book of Mormon is playing to a naive and ignorant audience that would likely know only King James English and have little knowledge of ancient biblical languages.  In Doctrine and Covenants 76:67 there is even mention of a church of Enoch. Another blooper appears in Alma 46:15 which Mormonism claims occurred in B.C. 73 those th...

Mormon America B.C. 600 to A.D. 421 examined by Dale Brown

The Book of Mormon claims to tell a story of the Americas between 600 B.C. to 421 A.D.  speaking of animals and archeological items that did not appear until they were brought there after 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.  So apparently the writer of the BoM either knew nothing about history or simply dreamed up this fictional tale to deceive ignorant people who are eager to believe a lie. Biblical coins Museums throughout the world display coins listed in the Bible yet the Nephite coins (senine, ezrom, onti, shiblon, shiblum, etc.) listed in the BoM (Alma 11:5-19) are no where to be found.  Metallurgy was not developed in the Americas and the natives were quickly undone by the steel swords of the Spaniards, yet the BoM records fine steel bows (1 Nephi 16:18), fine steel swords (1 Nephi 4:9). The native Americas were astounded that the Europeans could ride on horses like gods because there were no horses in America until they arrived from Europe.  Alm...

Mormons and the Jews

Image
Mormons will do whatever is necessary to manipulate people.  In order to appeal to the Jews they make the claim that Zionism is God's method in which eventually the Jews will unite with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and build a temple in Jerusalem under the President of the church, who they claim holds the keys of the gathering of Israel. (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce R. McConkie, pg. 856).   http://www.jewishmag.com/136mag/mormons/mormons.htm   What is not mentioned here is what the bible says about this future temple.  Jesus said, "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him" (John 5:43).  Apostle Paul refers to this coming apostasy as the antichrist who will exalt himself in the temple as being God (2 Thess. 2:4).  The Mormons claim to be able to become gods so all they have to do now is convince the Jews.  The Mormons probably have more experienc...
