"You are not allowed to talk about Jesus on Church property." A good Christian friend of mine (whom I will call Allen) was at Temple Square with others, talking with whomever would stop to talk about Jesus. Mormonism was not the topic of discussion, but only Jesus. Temple grounds security guards stopped and told him, "You must leave immediately or be arrested." When Allen inquired what they had done to deserve such unprovoked hostility they said, "You are not allowed to talk about Jesus on Church property." As this was a bit shocking, coming from men who were supposed to be security guards for the 'Church of Jesus Christ,' he asked them why?

did joseph smith love his enemies? One of the signature virtues of true Christians is loving our enemies. In Matt. 5, Jesus taught His followers, "43, Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven." No doubt, Joseph Smith had many enemies wherever he went, from local neighbors, to dissident Mormons, to the highest levels of state and federal governments. How did Joseph Smith respond? Did he love them? Did he bless them? Did he do good to them? Did he pray for them? Or, did he speak and act vengefully against them, and attempt to silence Mormon dissidents? In this article, I explore some of the reasons why Joseph Smith had so many enemies, but more about whether or not his treatment of them was in obedience to Christ's command.
"The Bible vs Joseph Smith" DVD From the creators of "The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon," "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon," "Jericho Unearthed," "The Jesus Tomb Unmasked" and "Lifting the Veil of Polygamy," I think this is their best film to-date. Produced entirely in Israel by Living Hope Ministries/SourceFlix, The Bible vs. Joseph Smith tests the predictions of Biblical and Mormon prophets. Director Joel Kramer sits down with a devout Mormon to dialogue about one of the most important questions of faith: How do we know if a prophet is speaking the truth of God. Listen in on their fascinating discussion. Follow along as they travel some of the Holy Land in search of facts. Watch as they put Biblical and Mormon prophets to the test in order to find out if their predictions actually took place in history. One failed prediction results in that prophet failing God's test.

airing joe smith's dirty polyandry In Joseph Smith's list of at least 33 plural wives, there were 11 known married women whom he married. Of his first 11 plural marriages, nine of them were to married women. This type of union is called polyandry (the marriage of a woman to more than one husband), and was a deliberate violation of the so-called "law of the priesthood," defined in Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132:58-66. What made those 11 unions violations is the clear language forbidding Joseph Smith from marrying any women other than virgins: 60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God. 61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—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 is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else."  62 And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.
"out of mormonism" airing in utah As of Saturday, January 2, 2010 Concerned Christians' highly acclaimed radio program, is airing every Saturday at 6:30am and 9:30am, on KUTR AM-820 Christian Radio Station based in Ogden, UT. Also, Monday through Friday at 9:00pm. As you can see from the clearly distorted (forgive the oxymoron) map to the right, the strongest signal of the station's 50,000 watt transmitter is within the not-so-round red circle. Some static would be experienced in the areas between the red and purple "circles." People living in the area beyond the purple "circle" would need some powerful radio equipment. But, even within the purple area, the coverage is most of Utah, part of northeastern Nevada, and southern parts of Idaho and Wyoming. If you haven't yet heard the program, listen to the podcasts of Out of Mormonism on your computer.
SUMMER 2010 Another documentary on Mormonism. Can there be too many? No. Mormons must be reached with the true, biblical gospel of Jesus Christ. And, people need to wise up to the "milk" of the Mormon missionaries that withholds everything that would prevent the average, biblically knowledgable person from making an informed choice.

my rebuttal to a critic of critics

Michael Ash is Mormon, an author, a member of the team of FAIRlds (an LDS apologetics group, as is another group like it called The Maxwell Institute [formerly FARMS], neither one of which is officially recognized by the LDS General Authorities as speaking for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), and is an outspoken Mormon critic of outspoken critics of Mormonism. In a recent article in a MormonTimes publication, Mr. Ash made several comments that I wish to challenge.

truth versus error

“Salvation is to be found in one place alone, as so designated by the Lord himself when He said that this is ‘the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth’ (Doctrine and Covenants 1:30). I bear you my witness that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration, just as he claimed to be. I echo the strains of that stirring hymn: ‘Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!’” (Elder Tad R. Callister, November, 2009, Ensign p. 37)

BIBLICAL RESPONSE: Jesus taught that salvation is not found in a church but only in Himself. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6b). Because LDS salvation is found in the church, Latter-day Saints are not afraid to praise and worship Joseph Smith. Even the apostle John failed to understand the significance of worshiping an angel: "At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,'Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!" (Revelation 19:10a). The angel taught John that God alone is worthy of praise!

thinking out loud.... by bob betts

In their objection to Christians who wear a cross, Mormons ask, "if Jesus had been killed by a gun, would you wear that around your neck?" The question exposes the Mormon's depth of depravity and disrespect for the Holy scriptures, as they reduce the cross's significance to that of a mere murder weapon. If I were inclined to wear anything around my neck, and a gun had been used to kill the Savior, then yes, I would wear a gun around my neck. Because, that gun would not be, any more than the cross was, the murder weapon that killed my Savior. 

The cross represents the power of God unto my salvation.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God. (Amplified Version)

Fact
is, the cross did not kill the Savior, nor did the nails in his hands and feet, nor did the soldier's spear in His side, nor did the beating and whipping beforehand, nor did the subsequent carrying of His cross through the streets leading to the hill called Golgotha. What killed the Savior was God's love for me that He sent the Savior as my replacement; which place the Savior took willingly to pay the penalty of death, which I deserve.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

My sins killed Jesus. The Savior was God's (thoroughly undeserved) gift (grace) of eternal life to me. He saved me from the well-deserved certainty of eternal damnation in the lake of fire. The Mormon's question proves that Mormon's entirely miss the point of the Savior's cross, despite and given the Apostle Paul's proper, and
inspired representation of it.
