FALSE DOCTRINES
MORMONS
Mormons are very missionary-minded, with over 26,000 missionaries. Many of these missionaries are young men and women in their early twenties who must serve two years in missionary work while supporting themselves.
The Mormon people of today are highly respected in our society, but there is NOTHING respectable about their doctrines.
Consider some of the following:
The Deity of Man Promoted
Mormons teach that man can become God, and that God was once a man: "God himself, the Father of us all, is a glorified, exalted immortal resurrected man!" (Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 322-23, 517, 643)
"...God Himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens..." (Journal of Discourses, V6, P3, 1844)
"As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become." (Lorenzo Snow, quoted in Milton R. Hunter, the Gospel Through the Ages, pp. 105-106)
This is absolute heresy. NOWHERE in the Bible does it say or imply that God was ever a man, or that man can become God!
- Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (KJV) HOW?? could this be true if God was once a man?
- Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (KJV) This clearly states that God existed "in the beginning" before man was ever created.
- John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.(KJV) This states that God is a "spirit," NOT a "man."
- John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (KJV) This clearly states that NO man has ever seen God, so HOW could they possibly know that He was once a man?
- Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (KJV) God has always been God, and no one has ever "become" God . . . or ever will!
Deity of Jesus Christ Is Denied
The Deity of Jesus Christ is a fundamental doctrine of Christianity, yet the Mormons deny this truth, and still call themselves "Christians". Exalting man to "god status" is OK to Mormons, but Jesus Christ is NOT acknowledged as the eternal Son of God in the Mormon church. The Mormon Jesus was simply a preexisting spirit who was exalted, just as Mormon followers hope to be exalted someday.
God is a Trinity. Mat.28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (KJV) Mark 1:9-11 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (KJV) John 10:30 I and my Father are one. (KJV) John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (KJV) John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (KJV) 1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (KJV) 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (KJV)
The second Member of that Trinity is the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (KJV) The Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (KJV) Jesus Christ is the Word incarnate. John 1:1 tells us that the Word was God; so Jesus Christ is God.
Jesus allowed Thomas to address Him as "My Lord and my God" in John 20:28. In Isaiah 9:6, He is called "The mighty God" and "The everlasting Father," and in Micah 5:2 it states that Jesus is "from everlasting."
Our Lord allowed people to worship Him in John 10:38 and in Matthew 14:33, and since He is "God with us" (Mat. 1:23) He also has power to forgive sins (Mark 2:5). Jesus Christ is clearly Deity, yet this doctrine (this FACT) is denied by the Mormons.
Multiple Authorities for Mormons
The Bible states: Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (KJV) BUT . . . the Mormon Church claims that other writings, such as the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith's writings are also authoritative. Joseph Smith actually taught his people to doubt the accuracy of the Bible: "...it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of men, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 10)
Mormon Writings Support Polygamy
"...if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then he is justified; he cannot commit adultery...And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery." (Doctrines and Covenants, 132:61, 62)
What does the Bible say? Jesus Christ did NOT hold with the Mormon Mark 10:6- 9 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. [7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; [8] And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. [9] What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (KJV) A man CANNOT be "one flesh" with MORE than one woman. A man and his wife are supposed to portray Christ and His church (Eph. 5:23-32), but this symbolism is demolished by the Mormon heresy of Polygamy.
True Church Theory
The Mormon book, The Pearl of Great Price, claims that all other Christian groups (churches) are "corrupt" and are an "abomination" in God's sight (Joseph Smith, 2:19). Such claims as this are based on the unscriptural assumption that the Lord Jesus Christ has a specific religious organization on the Earth today, complete with a name, a membership, and a leadership, which makes up His "true church." This doctrine is NOT found anywhere in God's Word. Everyone who has accepted Christ as their Saviour and Lord is a member of His church, which is the spiritual body of "born again" believers (John 1:12-13; 3:3-8; Eph. 4:4; 5:23-32; Col. 1:18-24; Heb. 12:23; Rev. 19:7; 5:9-10; 21:9).
Other False Teachings
The Mormons deny the Trinity, deny the existence of a literal burning Hell, yet they promote polytheism (many gods), baptism for the dead, and that Jesus and Satan were originally spirit brothers! BEWARE!! Mormonism is an extremely dangerous cult. In the eyes of man, the Mormons seem very respectable, but in God's eyes, they are abominable! God's Holy Word reveals the true wolves behind the sheep clothing. Mat.7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (KJV) Be very careful my friend! Their nice families, clean-cut appearance, and friendly missionaries are all Satan's way of deceiving you!
Check out THEIR DOCTRINES!
Mat.16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. (KJV) Mat.16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. (KJV) False doctrine is rampant everywhere! Beware!
Mark 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (KJV) ALL cults are guilty of this!
1 Tim. 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (KJV)
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (KJV)
2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. (KJV)
Pro.19:27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. (KJV) If you stop paying attention to what God's Word says, and listen to false doctrine of cults, you will soon find yourself wandering far away from God and His goodness and the only true knowledge there is. BEWARE!!!
Salvation through Works
Mormons believe that a person's salvation is based on good works, such as baptism, good deeds, missionary work, and following Mormon teachings. In The Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, justification by faith in Jesus Christ is called a "pernicious doctrine" twice and he states that it has been "an influence for evil." (pp. 107, 480) Bruce McConkie once stated at Brigham Young University that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is "improper and perilous" (Church News, March 20, 1982, p. 5)
What does the Bible say? Eph.2:8-9 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. (KJV) Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (KJV) Jesus came from the safety of Heaven, knowing what was ahead for Him, to die on the cross for us! He laid down His sinless life for YOU, for ME! He paid for OUR sins because we could not! Jesus is our only hope for salvation. Only by accepting Him as your Saviour and Lorsd can you ever enter the gates of Heaven. There is no other way. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. (KJV) Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (KJV) That's what the Bible says! The Lord Jesus Christ has come and PAID for our sins by shedding His own Blood on Calvary. By accepting Him as your Saviour and Lord, you can be WASHED from all your sins in His precious Blood (Rev. 1:5; Col. 1:14; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 1:18-19).
Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (KJV)
Jesus PAID our way to Heaven! NO church can save you! Only by accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord can you escape the damnation of Hell. YOUR righteousness will NEVER get you to Heaven! (Isa.64:6). Jesus Christ is your ONLY HOPE for Salvation! Romans 10:13 Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (KJV) Romans 10:9 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. (KJV) If you ask the Lord to come into your heart and cleanse you from all sin, He will save you just as He promised.
There many other Mormon heresies! Many other FALSE doctrines!
BEWARE!! Don't trust ANY cult and their FALSE doctrines. They are under the control of the devil and will lead you straight to Hell!
