A simplified Q&A concerning Mormonism and its heretical teaching postulated by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
How can they be exposed when they have their magical underwear? I thought it was proof against accidental exposures.
That's part of Mormonism's roots in Freemasonry
we believe that our church is the only true and living church of Jesus Christ upon the face of the earth.
This is true of all cult leaders. Another glaring example is that of Charles Taze Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
But He made it abundantly clear that He, not Joseph Smith, not Charles Taze Russell, not Herbert W. Armstrong, nor any other cult leader, is THE final Authority!What is heretical about it.
Claiming to be a restored church is nothing new.
Christ restored a higher law (that had been given to Adam) when he was here in the Meridian of Time.
FAIR which stands for Faithful Answers Informed Responses is a good site to get answers from the LDS point of view. Again, here is a link which leads to questions regarding Book of Mormon evidences:

Mormonism preaches a works based "salvation" in clear defiance of the Canon of Scripture. Oh, and the book of Mormon violates John's warnings in Revelation. That if ANYONE adds to Scripture, G-d Himself will add plagues and judgement. Sorry, but the Book of Mormon is NOT the inspired Word of G-d. You need to repent and turn to Jesus Himself.And that Christ is the final authority is all that I've ever been taught in the church. From D&C 76
22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the atestimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he blives!
23 For we asaw him, even on the bright hand of cGod; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the dOnly Begotten of the Father—
24 That by ahim, and through him, and of him, the bworlds are and were created, and the cinhabitants thereof are begotten dsons and daughters unto God.
From II Nephi 2:
5 And men are instructed sufficiently that they aknow good from evil. And the blaw is given unto men. And by the law no flesh is cjustified; or, by the law men are dcut off. Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off; and also, by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good, and become miserable forever.
6 Wherefore, aredemption cometh in and through the bHoly cMessiah; for he is full of dgrace and truth.
7 Behold, he offereth himself a asacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto bnone else can the cends of the law be answered.
Correctly, JESUS CHRIST is the ETERNAL GOD in the Book of Mormon preface. The emphasis belonged to Joseph Smith. But by at the end of his life from knowing in 1830 that there is one God, Jesus is God, but then thinking Jesus is the Father, then he did not know for sure anymore in 1839.

True the greatest testimony one can receive is through direct personal revelation. However, we do need to exercise faith in many of the truths of God. We gain faith through evidences and God can witness unto us if these evidences are true or not.I have never been a fan of this.
It's fun to hear, but in the end........
3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would aask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
There is no commandment to dig up part of South America in order to gain a testimony.

Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Welcome to USMB HikerGuy83!!! It is always nice to see another member on this site!!!!Yes, there are some things that help.
However, the church has been guilty of making far to many claims that were later disputed as more scientific knowledge has come to light.
The greater evidences are the Spirit of Christ Moroni speaks of.
And many of my evangelical friends find the doctrine of the three degrees of glory and the personal responsibility associated with judgement to be inherently "logical" and appealing to their spiritual senses.
I had to slam the door on this one, but from our perspective, the Bible isn't the ultimate authority. It's very existence testifies to continuous revelation and the ongoing correction of the church by it's leaders (as in Paul's letters).
