MORMON HERESIES ABOUT MANKIND


1. "Man has the potential of becoming God, just as Christ did; man is king of kings and Lord of Lords in embryo." (Times and Seasons, August 1, 1844; Journal of Discourses, Vol 10, p 223; History of the Church, Vol 6, p 306; Doctrine and Covenants, 132.20).

Bible: a) God alone is and will be God: 'before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.' (Isaiah 43:10). 'I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.' (Isaiah 46:9)

b) Satan's first lie to mankind was that 'ye shall be as gods.' (Genesis 3:5). It worked against Eve, so Satan uses it through Mormonism today.




2. "Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden was a fall 'upward' that was not sinful, but rather necessary for the propagation of the human race." (Journal of Discourses, Vol 13, p 145; Vol 10, p 312; Pearl of Great Price, Moses 5:10-12; Doctrines of Salvation, Vol 1, p 114-115).

Bible: a) Adam's sin in Eden caused spiritual and physical death for all persons (Genesis 3:16-19). 'by one man sin entered into the world, & death by sin;& so death
passed upon all men'(Rom 5:12)

b) Propagation of the human race was certain without needing the fall: 'God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply...' (Genesis 1:28).



3. "Each person's essence, his intelligence, has always existed and so was never created. Man is as eternal as God Himself." (Journal of Discourses, X, p 5; VI, p 6; Doctrine and Covenants, 93.29; The Plan of Salvation (booklet) p 3).

Bible: All men are a creation of God and had no existence before conception. God asked Job, 'Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?' (Job 38:4).
'All my members were written, . . . when as yet there was none of them.' (Psalm 139:16).




4. "Each person's spiritual body that clothed his intelligence in the pre-existent state was formed by the sexual union of the Father and one of His spirit wives." (The Seer, Orson Pratt, p 37).


Bible: Man did not pre-exist, and the Father had no wives.

You seem intent on pointing out the falacies and errors in teachings and beliefs of the Seven Day Adventisists and the Mormons, (LDS)

Can we assume you will be following though with all the mainline, ( and/or) minor Protestant denominations, and possibly Catholic ( Roman, Greek et al)

Nothing specific.

It seems that you have done an indepth study on what you find wrong with the religions that you keep posting on. I was just curious when you are going to hit the Presbyterians, Baptists, and C of Cers.

I am not saying you are wrong on anything you have said... but no religion is 100% correct....

While you have exposed a cult which truly most know to be a cult, maybe you can tell us what you truly believe concerning Jesus Christ. I just read your post concerning another Jesus, again, true concerning Mormonism, yet I could tell that you were an little unclear concerning Jesus, the Son man and the Son of God. My question to you would be this...."When was Jesus begotten of God, or, when did he become the Son of God?"
