TRUTH ABOUT THE MORMON(FALSE) GOSPEL

“BUT THOUGH WE, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL TO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED TO YOU, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. AS WE SAID BEFORE, SO SAY I NOW AGAIN, IF ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL TO YOU THAN THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.”

                                                                                                                           - GALATIANS 1:8,9

“BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YOU MIGHT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD; AND THAT BELIEVING YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME.”

                                                                                                                           - JOHN 1:31

One day I and one of my colleague were roaming around in our town. At that time we came across a beautifully big built church. We were so amazed to see such a beautiful church. Every time we go in that way, we used to have a great desire to go inside that church. The name of the church is “CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST FOR LATTER DAY SAINTS”. Even the name of that church attracted us a lot. On a particular Wednesday we heard that there was an English class going inside the church. So we went in to see how the church was. The church was fully air conditioned with several rooms inside. Once the English class got over, the elder of the church took us and showed us various places inside the church. He opened a door of the big hall and showed us the place where the worship services will be held. As soon as we entered that hall, a great emptiness filled our hearts. I have never felt that kind of emptiness before in my life. It’s a terrible emptiness in our Spirit. We could not stand there at all. As we stood there, the elder began to say the story behind the establishment of the church. As he continued saying we clearly understood in our Spirit that he was telling a false gospel. So we left that place and came out. We understood that these church members are leading many people to go astray. Later we came to know that the gospel he presented to us was called as Mormon Gospel.

So my dear young friends, I present you the truth about this Mormon Gospel. 

The story begins in the year 1820. Joseph Smith a fifteen year old boy claimed he had a visit from God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. He said that they told him that all churches were wrong and were an abomination to God and that he should not join any of them.

            But according to the records of the Presbyterian Church, Smith was a member of that church till he was suspended for neglecting the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in the year 1830. Even the records of the Methodist church states that Smith tried for membership in that church in the year 1828 but denied membership based on his low moral character. Also court records prove that Joseph Smith was arrested in New York in the year 1826 for being con-artist.

Later he said that he received visits from the angel Moroni, who Joseph Smith said was a resurrected being. Then, a few years later Joseph Smith said that he received a record from the angel Moroni, written on gold plates in "reformed Egyptian" language that no one but he could understand. He was also told not to show these gold plates to anyone, but that some time later a few selected people would be given the privilege to view them. He said that he then translated the plates and published the material as the "Book of Mormon" and gave the gold plates back to the angel Moroni.

            The Book of Mormon contains many plagiarisms of the King James English (at least 25,000 words). This is strange since the plates were supposed to have been in the ground many centuries before the King James Bible was completed in 1611! Also nearly 4000 changes have been made since the 1830 edition. How is that the Book of Mormon which they claim predates the KJV by 1500 years, could have precisely the same language word for word. They even quote words in italic which was actually supplied by the translators. But they claim it as an exact translation from the record received by the angel Moroni.

Smith proposed the “Plural Marriage” doctrine (Polygamy) which brought a great deal of trouble in his life and he was put to jail as he tried to seduce several women into it. The leaders of the Latter Day Saints Church have also taught that their Jesus was married and had children, and that he was even a polygamist. On the afternoon of June 27,1844 Joseph Smith was shot and killed as he tried to escape the jail window.

            He was murdered not by the group of anti-mormons but by the group of men whose wives and daughters he had tried to ruin. Before he died he killed two men and wound another by using a hand gun. Even today, Mormons are exalting Joseph as a Martyr. But the truth is he was in the jail for breaking the law and he killed people in the jail.

Mormons believe that one's salvation is based on such good works as baptism, good deeds, missionary work, and following Mormon teachings.

            Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Romans 4:5 says that salvation comes to those who do not work for salvation, but believe on Jesus Christ instead!

The Book of Mormon is regarded as divinely inspired scripture among the Latter Day Saints Church believers. Mormons teach that man can become God, and that God was once a man.

            This is plain and simple heresy. Nowhere does the Bible say or imply that God was ever a man, or that man can become God! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the LORD, I change not..." How could this be true if God was once a man? Genesis 1:1 states that God existed "in the beginning" before man was ever created. John 4:24 states that God is a "spirit," and Jesus tells us in John 1:18 that no man has seen God at any time. Numbers 23:19 says that "God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent." God has always been God, and no one has ever "become" God.

Cardinal Doctrines of Latter Day Saints Church

God has a body of flesh and bones

God is an exalted man

God is the product of eternal progression

Men can become gods

Marriage is for eternity

Baptism for the dead

Second chance for salvation after death

The truth is

No city peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been located.

No names peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been found in the new world inscriptions.

No ancient copies of the Book of Mormon have ever been found.

No mention of people, places and nations peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been found.

There is not one iota of evidence from archaeology which can provide evidence for the truth of the Book of Mormon

This is in absolute contrast to Bible, the accuracy of which has been supported in thousands of ways by archaeological research.

Friend, make no mistake about it--Mormonism is a dangerous cult. In the eyes of man, the Mormons seem very respectable, but the light of God's word reveals the true wolves behind the sheep clothing. Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Mat. 7:15)

Jesus Christ came into this world to lay down His sinless life for YOU--to pay for your sins. “And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.” (I John 3:5) Jesus is your only hope for salvation. Only by receiving Him as your Saviour can you enter the gates of Heaven. There is no other way.  "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Confess your sins to Jesus Christ and get washed from all your sins in His precious Blood. Jesus paid your way to Heaven! Your church cannot save you! Only by receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour can you escape the damnation of Hell. Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Ask the Lord to come into your heart and He will cleanse you from all sin. He will save you just as He promised. He will never cast away anyone who comes to Him. Seek Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
