Mormania

  St. George 2021 The Mormons spend millions of dollars every year in upgrades of old temples such as this one in St. George, Utah as well as the construction of new temples around the world.  At present there are 168 temples and 36 more under construction.  They play a part in Mormon's salvation.  What Jesus did on the cross was apparently not enough. "[Building this House] may be called a temporal work, but it pertains to the salvation of ourselves as well as our friends who have passed behind the veil, and also to the generations that are to come after us." —Brigham Young They place more faith in their temples than they do in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.  The bible clearly says that any power we have over Satan is through the power of the blood of Christ and our testimony of what He has done (Rev. 12:10-11).  Historically there was only one temple in Jerusalem which was built according to the pattern of heavenly shadows.  God literally had to dri...

LDS TEMPLE WORK  A Ridiculous Work and A Blunder by Dale Brown The ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem contained an altar for animal sacrifice which atoned for the sins of the living. A practice within the Mormon Temple however has given rise to one of the worlds largest genealogical research libraries. It revolves around a most questioned religious doctrine, that is, the salvation of those already dead through proxy baptism. This practice is reserved for an elite class of church members. Perhaps the most embarrassing thing to the Mormon Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) concerning their doctrine of baptism for the dead is the Book of Mormon itself. The Book of Mormon is supposed to contain the "fullness of the everlasting Gospel." In the Doctrine and Covenants (42:12) we read: "And again, the elders, priests, and teachers of this church shall teach the principles of my gospel, WHICH ARE IN THE BIBLE AND THE BOOK OF MORMON, IN WHICH IS THE FULLNESS OF T...

  Why is it that the Book of Mormon which supposedly covers a time period of about 600 B.C. to about A.D. 420 uses Elizabethan English that was popular in 1611?  Well considering that most Americans considered the King James Bible to be holy writ and were used to the style because they had been reading it in school from an early age the writer, or I should say translator, of the Book of Mormon would have wanted to impress his audience with "holy language" that would be too sacrilegious to question.  Throughout the Book of Mormon we see the phrase "and it came to pass" over and over again.  If you had written something this redundant in English class your teacher would have marked it with red ink and suggest you find another way of introducing the next part of your story, but because this is "holy writ" one cannot question the style.  Few talk about a man named Solomon Spalding who had written a manuscript prior to the Book of Mormon that was still at the p...

Like many Mormon writers Timothy Ballard goes to great length to draw a connection between the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith and the divine destiny of America.  In this case he connects Smith and his Book of Mormon with Abraham Lincoln.  How one can find a parallel with Lincoln who lead the nation in a fight against slavery and the "white and delightsome" Mormon prophet who would not allow blacks to be a part of his priesthood is another page of fiction.  But, Mormons are all about fiction as is the core of their religion.  The author with a background in Mormonism and educated at BYU also spent a decade working for the Department of Homeland Security.  His experience with trying to help those caught in the web of child trafficking caused him to see some parallels with the early American slave trade. He wrote another book zeroing in on George Washington as well.  Books published by Mormon publisher Deseret Books are designed to glorify the LDS church at all c...

The University of Idaho in Pocatello at first glace looks a bit like BYU Next to University buildings are Mormon churches and even one large building called the Institute of Religion.  So the Mormon cult is presenting itself an expert on religion.  The building on the right is the Stevens Center for performing arts.  To the left are two LDS churches.  This is clearly Mormania.

Another Wild Tale After the death of Joseph Smith in the shoot out in the jail there was some debate as to whether the keys of the Mormon kingdom had been taken from the earth.  Brigham Young was most vocal in proclaiming the keys were still here with the church.  Elder Sidney Rigdon had been the ordained "spokesman" for the prophet therefore he at first appeared to claim that right still after his death.  But Brigham was most convincing in his arguments for taking the lead.  In the History of the Church vol.II pg.418 (by B. H. Roberts) in bold print we read THE TRANSFORMATION OF BRIGHAM YOUNG.  Brigham Young was transformed into the likeness of Joseph Smith - voice, person and manner.  The late Elder George Q. Cannon, who was present on the occasion, said: "If Joseph had arisen from the dead and again spoken in the their hearing, the effect could not have been more startling than it was to many present at that meeting; it was the voice of Joseph himself; a...

The Mormons will argue that both Jesus and Lucifer were brothers and creations of God.  They continue this idea by claiming we are all creations of God therefore we are all brothers.  There are many problems with this considering the bible tells us that Jesus was the Word (God) that became flesh in the form of Jesus (John 1:1-14). Apostle Paul made it quite clear that Jesus is not our brother in his letter to the Colossains, " He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.     For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.   And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (Col 1:15-17) What is wrong with this picture? This is a Mormon sacrament of water and leavened bread.  Jewish tradition based on the bible would be wine and unlea...
