Teachings Over the Years

What is Mormonism's connection to Freemasonry? Why are there occultic symbols on the walls of the temple in Salt Lake City such as pentagrams
(see picture from http://www.saintsalive.com/newsletters/marchapril01.html) which are familiar to all Wiccans (witches) and Satanists in their own religious practices? Why is 90% of the activity within the temples baptisms for the dead? How do the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price contradict each other? Why is it that the BOM, which was called "the most complete book on the face of the earth" by Smith has had nearly 4,000 changes made to it since it came out in 1830?

There are huge sections of the BOM that appear to be plagiarized directly from the 1769 revision of the King James Bible which was translated in 1611. If Smith was simply translating the BOM from the Golden Plates, why would these "ancient" sections have been translated in 1830 into 1769 King James English?

What happened to the first 100+ pages of the BOM? This amounts to about 1/6th of the total text of the BOM. The LDS church alleges that these pages were stolen. Since they are missing, doesn't that let the air out of their claim that there are "many plain and precious things" missing from the Bible and the BOM is more reliable?

Did you know that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young both taught that the moon was inhabited by humans and that they lived to be approximately 1,000 years old and were dressed in Quaker style clothing? Brigham Young also taught that the sun itself was inhabited.

"Nearly all the great discoveries of men in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a Prophet. As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to a greater age than we do -- that they live generally to near the age of a 1000 years. He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style." -- Oliver B. Huntington, "Young Woman's Journal," Vol 3, 1892, p. 263.

Also this:

"'Who can tell us of the inhabitants of the little planet that shines in the evening, called the moon? When we view it's face we may see what is termed 'the man in the moon' and what some philosophers declare is the shadows of mountains. But these sayings are very vague and amount to nothing; and when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant of their fellows. So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain'" Brigham Young (The Journal Of Discourses Vol. 13 page #271)

As self-professing prophets of God, shouldn't they have known that the moon has no atmosphere and the sun is like an ocean of fire and they are therefore incapable of supporting human life?

An interesting note is that the word 'Mormon' in Chinese means 'gates of Hell' and the LDS missionaries dare not use that word when attempting to proselytize the Chinese.

To the Christian: There are serious errors in LDS theology. Do you know how to refute them? The answers are not difficult to find or understand. Educate yourself to help your LDS friends to see through the darkness that is Mormonism.

"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." (Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV)
