I saw this cartoon on Youtube and one of the comments on it was from a mormon. He laughed it off saying it was all made up and false. That seems to be the common response to anything that exposes their religion. You can provide all the documentation (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenant, Journal of Discourse, etc) and they will still deny the authenticity of what you are presenting. This might be a cartoon but everything in it is true!!
The cartoon is done in a very "forward" manner which Mormons are not used to when trotting out their "deeper" doctrines...but other than that point...it's spot on...
On another blog, there is a lady there who has taken the time to write down about 15 references from the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and others, to show how the Jesus she worships is the same Jesus we worship. The thing is, all of the references she used DID make it appear to be the same Jesus in the wording. So I reminded her about the mormon teaching of Lucifer being his brother, I also reminded her of Jesus having at least 3 wives and I brought up a few other differences. For some reason they are all blinded to the truth. Of course, the Bible tells us so! I just pray that the evidence that we present to them will be sufficient. It is not us that is going to save them anyway!
Everyone is welcome here. However, when you post a comment please remember some simple rules.
1. No one has an inalienable right to have their comments posted.
2. Please keep on-topic, otherwise it may not be posted at all.
3. Starting out with a sarcastic comment is a pretty good way to show me your intentions are not, well, honorable and will tend to wake up the cynic in me thus triggering the "delete" function.
4. Whining about how your comment wasn't posted is a sure way to prove to me that my cynicism (see point 3) was justly roused.
5. Comments that make personal assaults at others who post comments will not be published.
6. In light of rule 5, my posting an article that says something like "So and So teaches thus and so and here is the evidence" does not constitute a personal assault on my part, no matter how you may dislike what I had to say.
7. My time is worth more than wasting it on mud-wrestling on my own blog. If I see that you're here basically saying "Change my opinion against my will", don't be surprised if I don't humor you.
8. I reserve the right to create a post based on a submitted comment. It may be because of some positive comment that I'd like to expand on. It may also be that I'll take a troll-type comment and use it for another post of "Trolls Say The Darndest Things". In the former case, I will give credit to the commenter. In the latter case, I'll leave names out of the immediate post. If someone finds the original post however. . ..
I met the Lord Jesus Christ in 1998. Before then, I had made a profession of faith but now know there was no reality to it. I had no sense of personal sin and a need for a savior. I had "prayed the prayer" but there was no transformation.
It was only after the Lord let me bottom out and see myself as a sinner ripe for judgement that I realized that I needed a savior. There was simply no other remedy.
Paul told the Corinthians "Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith."
If you profess to know the Lord, that is the best advice I can give you.

Pastor Brian,
You are so right.
