A
Comparison of Mormon
Teachings
Many Mormons
make the claim to be true "Christians". When you
compare their teachings with basic, orthodox
Christian doctrines do they agree?
As you compare
the claims in this tract you must ask the question
''Is Mormonism Christian or not?''

A
Warning to Pastors
Local Mormon leaders are encouraged to befriend
Christian pastors, I wonder why?
What they won't tell you when calling at your

Similarities Between Roman Catholicism and

Contradictory
Mormon Doctrine
We invite all
honest hearted Mormons to examine their own
"inspired scriptures" and official church doctrine
books to see if they can honestly believe them all.
Take the time to look up all the following
references in the libraries in your stake houses so
you can deterime that they are in context and
correct.
If the Mormon
church is true you have nothing to fear by such an
investigation. If on the other hand, this chart has
raised doubts and caused you to ask questions, we
are here to help you in total
confidentiality.

Deception:
When you are deceived by someone whom you
believed was a Christian or by an Organization
claiming to be speaking for God who is at fault.
You or the person who deceived you? What does the
bible say on the matter?

Do
Mormons Really Deny Jesus?
By definition,
anyone who professes a false Christ denies the true
one. Jesus wants us to recognize him and follow him
only. The question is, "Do the Mormons profess the
true Jesus Christ or a false one?"

Facts
Mormons Won't Tell at Your Door
Why won't the
Mormons tell you these things when calling at your
door? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, the Mormons, are well aware that if these
facts were known to the convert prior to baptism,
they would have very few converts! The Missionaries
are well trained to keep most of these facts from
their potential converts.
|
|
Facts
or Feelings
Are they true or false? Our initial decision
about the Book of Mormon is usually based on our
preconditioned feelings. Everyone has feelings, and
all people who disagree have sincere feelings.
Obviously, feelings alone can't give us a reliable
answer. We must check the facts to be absolutely
sure our answer is correct.

Faith
& Works for Salvation?
What
(work) must I do to be
saved?
Cult groups and Christians alike often wonder how
much "work" is needed to be counted as righteous
before God. They often ask us this
question.
Groups like the
Jehovah's Witnesses with their endless meetings,
door to door ministry, placing their magazines and
counting meticulously all the time they spend in
these pursuits and efforts, believe that somehow
God will approve of their efforts and reward them.
They can never be certain that they have "done
enough" and always feel driven to do more.
Mormons, (The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)
likewise have their "works"--temple ceremonies,
wearing special garments, avoiding certain foods or
drinks, tithing, temple worthiness pursuits,
researching and being baptized in proxy for their
ancestors and others, and missionary stints for
their young people. They believe these efforts will
bring God's approval and a higher state of
salvation. Their works are ongoing as well right up
to death.

Is
Mormonism Christian
This
questionnaire is designed both to inform both
Mormons and non- Mormons about the doctrines of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, better
known as the Mormon Church. As you compare your
answers to the questions with the answers that
follow please bear in mind this
question.

Kings
& Priests, YES, Gods Never!
Can a man become
"a god" ? "Yes", reply the Mormons, (The Church of
Latter Day Saints), in company with the Eastern
Mystical Religions, Scientologists, the Humanists,
the Occult, the Gurus and now sadly also some
misled Word-Faith teachers! We wish to give a
biblical reply to all of these groups, especially
the Mormons, carefully considering the scriptures
in their context.

Mormonism's
Salvation by Grace or by Eternal Marriage and
Sex?
This is not an
idle or frivolous question. It is the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) claim
that it has the true restored Christian faith and
that it is "the only true and living church upon
the face of the whole earth, with which ... the
Lord is well pleased. . . ." ( It believes that all
other churches are in a state of total apostasy.

Mormon
Mathamatics
When asked why
Mormon missionaries recruit Christians. Mormon
prophet Gordon B. Hinkley seemed to coin a clever
phrase which Mormons now quote frequently:
"Bring us what you have and we will add to it!"
Suppose we take
the Mormon prophet's offer and bring him "what we
have", and then examine what Mormonism could
possibly "add to it" for our benefit? The following
is a very plausible scenario. It would go like
this: ............

Mormon
Authority
One of the
publications that one might receive if inquiring
about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints is a book titled GOSPEL
PRINCIPLES.
This book
stresses the importance of the Priesthood to the
Mormon Church. During our many discussions with the
Mormon Missionaries the topic has sooner or later
turned to the question of authority............

Pray
about the Book of Mormom
One day at work,
someone told me that I really needed to know for
sure if the Book of Mormon is true or not. He
challenged me to read and pray about it (Moroni
10:4-5). As I considered his challenge, I realized
that he was right. I really did need to know for
sure if the Book of Mormon was true or false. If it
is false, no one should be one. If it is true,
everyone should be one because it is from the true
God. Therefore, I would need to be a Mormon.

Religion
or Salvation? Which have You?
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."
At certain
seasons of the year, we find many religious
celebrations being conducted. We find that the
natural man wants to be religious and at times will
do many things thinking that he is performing an
act of worship unto God. But the Word of God
teaches that religion is not salvation! The Word of
God teaches that you ran be religious and miss
heaven!

Reorganized
Latter Day Saints
When trying to
unravel the true from the false with regards the
teachings of Joseph Smith Jr., the Seer, and author
of the Book of Mormon, and most of the Doctrines
and Covenants one runs into the problem of
objectivity. The LDS and the RLDS, a later splinter
group, disagree on many points, such as the exact
teachings of Joseph Smith Jr. and who he chose as
successor to himself. Joseph Smith Jr. allegedly
found a set of gold plates under the guidance of
the angel Moroni. With the records were a pair of
spectacles called The Urim and the Thumim which
enabled Joseph to translate these plates into the
Book of Mormon. Joseph Smith, and his closest
followers then founded the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints.

The
Angel Moroni
Who is this
'angel' that Mormons have put so much trust
in?
Fixed, Fallen
or Fiction? It will never fly....
For those today who are involved with the
Mormon Church (LDS) and other Mormon break off
groups the testimony of this "angel" is a very
important part of their faith.
If his testimony is not accurate then it
leaves in question the foundation of Mormonism.
Lets examine who "Moroni" is according to official
Mormon publications.

Total
Apostasy
The Mormon
Church claims that Christ's authority vanished from
the earth some time after His apostles died. The
church calls this a total apostasy because they
claim that there was not one person left who could
act with the authority of God. This provides a
legitimacy for Joseph Smith to "restore" the true
gospel once again to the earth. Looking at Mormon
scriptures, we will study this
topic.

The
Mormon Jesus compared with the Jesus of the
Bible
Mormons use
Christian terminology but give things different
meanings. The most serious problem is what do they
do with Jesus. Is the Mormon Jesus the Jesus of the
Bible. See for yourself.

The
Mormon Pagent
The Manti
"Mormon Miracle" Pageant has been a
highly-acclaimed production for over a quarter of a
century. However, the audience is not told that
significant portions of the pageant are not
historically or doctrinally accurate. In the
interest of discovering the whole truth, some of
these inaccuracies are described
below:

The
Book of Mormon Most Correct Book
My Mormon
friends shared their testimony that the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was God's true
church in many ways. They spoke of the blessings of
the temple and having their families together
forever. They pointed out similarities of the
Mormon church to the New Testament church, such as
not having paid preachers and the emphasis on every
member spreading the gospel. They rejoiced in
receiving new revelations from God through
modern-day, living prophets. But, most especially,
they emphasized that "We have the fullness of
the gospel," contained in the Book of
Mormon.

Testimonies
of Three Witnesses
In the front of
every Book of Mormon are the "testimonies" of three
witnesses which is reproduced below. Following is
further revelations by these same men and comments
by leaders of the Mormon church. Documentation of
these comments can be found in the publications
listed at the end of this article.

The
Book of Mormon
Challenge.
Lets
take them up on their
challenge!
Many times
Mormons will ask you "How could a teenage old boy
write a book as complicated as the Book of Mormon
on his own? Would not God have to give him the
inspiration and help him somehow? Some in the
Mormon church have challenged critics to prove it
wrong and if it is not from God how was it written.

Unanswered
Questions about the BoM.
We are taught
that the Book of Mormon is the "most correct book"
and that it contains the truth, the Word of God and
the fullness of the gospel (D& C 19: 26, 20:9,
27: 5, 42: 12 & 135:3).
Exactly where in
the Book of Mormon are the following doctrines or
concerts taught:God has a body of flesh and bones.
God is an exalted man. God is a product of eternal
progression. The plurality of Gods. God "organized"
the world rather than "creating" it. There is no
eternal hell and punishment. Men can become gods.
"Intelligences" are eternal. Pre-existing spirits
of Man. Marriage for eternity. Polygamy is not an
abomination in the sight of God. Three degrees of
glory. A "mother" in heaven.

Which
Religion is True?
Life:
Can You Pass the Test? Discernment is the
ability to tell right from wrong. Today, many
people say that "God wouldn't let good people go to
hell." Many think that God will grade our lives on
a curve; like tests in school, we'll do okay as
long as we have more right than wrong. But, God
grades us from a totally different perspective:
100% to Pass, any less you Fail. We need to use
discernment to distinguish the right answers from
the rest. The essentials of Biblical Christianity
are summarized in life's two most important
questions:
1.
Who is the Real God? 2. How can we be
saved?

Why
Believe the Book of Mormon?
Joseph
Smith Didn't Believe the Book of Mormon... So Why
Should Anyone Else?
In
1844 Joseph Smith declared that the Book of Mormon
was "the most correct of any book on earth, and the
keystone of our religion, and a man would get
nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than by
any other book" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph
Smith, p. 194, and History of the Church, 4:461).
One
would think that the Prophet would found his church
upon the teachings of this "keystone" book. Let's
see if he did.
Ask
yourself the following twenty questions and try to
chapter-and-verse them the Book of
Mormon.

What's
Wrong With Mormonism?
(Among the
answers to problems with Mormonism I present the
following --- about one of the most distinguished
Mormons--- and responded to by an outstanding
former professor at BYU and the University of
Utah).
Among the
problems that I see with Mormonism is the fact that
intelligent, experienced qualified people (often
even professors at BYU) now fired from their
positions and excommunicated from their church,
still hang onto its claims.
They question
the claims for the Book of Mormon that it is
historically true. Surely they realize that
archaeologically, geographically and historically
it fails every test-- but though they do not get
along with the Apostles and Prophets, they still
want to be Mormons.
If the claims
for the Book of Mormon are not true then Joseph
Smith was an outright fraud.
How can sincere,
intelligent Mormons continue to argue on behalf of
a "Mother God," or other distinctly Mormon
teachings?
